Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 59

Mrs. Shen’s toothache flared up after lunch as she watched her youngest son flirt and act cute with Mr. Fu. She felt like rushing over and locking this useless son of hers in his room. But she didn’t dare, as her son was carrying a baby. If something went wrong, as her eldest son had warned, she’d regret it terribly.

 

She reluctantly let Mr. Fu stay until four o’clock, but she couldn’t stand it any longer.

 

“It’s getting late; you should go now.” She glared at the person sitting closely with her youngest son while watching TV and said irritably.

 

Shen Yunxing glanced at the time and said, “Mom, it’s only four o’clock.”

 

Mrs. Shen, frustrated, shot a disappointed look at her son.

 

“It’s almost dinner time. If you don’t leave now, you’ll miss meal time. Besides, Mr. Fu is the big boss of the Fu Corporation. He’s busy and doesn’t have time to be with you every day.”

 

Shen Yunxing nodded. “Mr. Fu is indeed very busy.”

 

Hearing this, Mrs. Shen felt somewhat relieved, but before she could be happy, she saw her son hugging Mr. Fu’s arm with a look of satisfaction and pride, saying, “So, usually, I go to work with Mr. Fu.”

 

Mrs. Shen: “……”

 

Pregnancy might change a person’s personality, but her son didn’t just change; he seemed like a completely different person. The way he acted like a shy little wife made Mrs. Shen question whether he was truly her son!

 

“Good boy,” Mr. Fu said, noticing Mrs. Shen’s patience running thin. He gently patted the young man’s head and smiled, “I have some things to handle. I’ll come see you again tomorrow.”

 

Shen Yunxing frowned, looked at Mrs. Shen who was staring at him, and then at his father’s displeased expression. He finally looked at his elder brother, hoping he might help smooth things over.

 

But realizing that even his elder brother was struggling, he reluctantly nodded.

 

“Alright, then you need to come see me earlier tomorrow.” He held Mr. Fu’s hand and placed it on his belly, saying with a flushed face, “The baby and I will miss you.”

 

Mr. Fu gently rubbed the young man’s bulging belly through his T-shirt and responded with a smiling “Okay.”

 

Since they were turned away from Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen, only Mr. Fu and Shen Yunxing saw this small gesture.

 

However, Mrs. Shen could tell from her son’s shy and reluctant words that she guessed correctly. She cleared her throat warningly, and the two reluctantly parted.

 

“Mr. Fu, please be careful on your way back.”

 

Mrs. Shen saw him to the door but refused to let him continue further. She could only use her watery eyes to reluctantly watch her “cowherd” who would be absent for a “year.”

 

Seeing him clinging to Mr. Fu’s sleeve with a reluctant expression, Mr. Fu felt a pang of sympathy. He bent down and left a light kiss on the young man’s forehead, gently saying, “Good boy, I’m leaving now.”

 

“Mm.” Shen Yunxing nodded and watched Mr. Fu leave the community until he disappeared from view before closing the door.

 

Mrs. Shen: “……”

 

It was like looking at a stone used for waiting for a husband. It was hard to watch.

 

“Stop staring. Come over and have some fruit to get some vitamins,” Mrs. Shen said, shoving a fruit plate into her son’s arms. Seeing her son’s lost look, she couldn’t help but say, “Look at you, so useless. The baby will definitely laugh at you when he grows up.”

 

“Hehe.” Shen Yunxing gave a silly smile and started munching on an apple.

 

“It’s delicious. The apples chosen by Mrs. Shen are so sweet.” He gave Mrs. Shen a thumbs up and said with a flattering smile.

 

Mrs. Shen shot him a glance. “The apples were bought by your brother. The oranges were bought by me.”

 

Shen Yunxing froze, swallowed the apple, and then reached for the oranges. However, the oranges were so sour that he barely managed to keep his expression neutral.

 

“Mm, sweet!”

 

“Then eat more,” Mrs. Shen said, watching her son’s performance on TV, which had become so poor after returning home. Her tone was cold.

 

Shen Yunxing was stunned. After a moment, he pointed upstairs and said, “Brother is upstairs, right? I’ll take some fruit up to him.”

 

He quickly carried the fruit plate upstairs, afraid that Mrs. Shen would force him to eat all the sour oranges.

 

“This silly child.” Mrs. Shen shook her head as she watched her son flee.

 

“I don’t think he’s silly at all. He managed to find himself a golden son-in-law. How is that silly?” Mr. Shen said sarcastically.

 

“Stop being sarcastic,” Mrs. Shen gave Mr. Shen a look. “If you had complaints, why didn’t you say anything when he was still here? Now that he’s gone, you suddenly act up.”

 

“Who’s acting up? I just didn’t react in time! Just wait; if Mr. Fu comes tomorrow, I’ll break his legs!” Mr. Shen said angrily.

 

“Enough. If you dare lay a finger on him, your youngest son will probably cut ties with you,” Mrs. Shen poured cold water on him.

 

Mr. Shen: “……”

 

Mr. Shen had no more to say and sulkily retreated to his room to brood.

 

Upstairs in the study, Shen Yunxing set a chair across from his brother, looked serious, and after staring at him for two minutes, clasped his hands together and asked softly, “Brother, please help your poor and helpless little brother. The baby can’t be without Mr. Fu, and I can’t be without him. I won’t sleep well at night if he’s not around.”

 

Shen Yunshu rubbed his forehead. “Speak properly.”

 

“Oh.” Shen Yunxing placed his hands on his knees and sat up straight.

 

Seeing his brother return to normal, Shen Yunshu finally said, “Mom and Dad are still angry. Stay at home for now. When they calm down in a few days, we can discuss moving out. Otherwise, if Mom gets really mad, I can’t stop her.”

 

Without Mr. Fu by his side, Shen Yunxing was feeling a bit down. Even his departure was marked by an air of sadness and disappointment. 

 

Without Mr. Fu, Shen Yunxing had a poor mood and barely ate anything for dinner. He went upstairs early, didn’t even watch his favorite show, finished his bath quickly, and curled up in bed alone without Mr. Fu.

 

“Ding dong——”

 

As soon as he lay down, his phone dinged twice. His eyes brightened as he grabbed the phone, and sure enough, it was a message from Mr. Fu.

 

**[Mr. Fu]:** What are you doing?

 

**[Mr. Fu]:** Have you had dinner?

 

Just these two simple questions made Shen Yunxing’s dimples deepen with a smile.

 

**[Yunxing]:** I’ve eaten. I’m thinking about Mr. Fu [cat covering face.jpg]

 

After sending the message, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he clutched his pillow, too shy to look at the chat screen.

 

When he didn’t receive a reply from Mr. Fu for a while, his expression changed. He waited a bit longer, and still no response. He bit his lip and reassured himself—Mr. Fu must have gotten busy again.

 

After calming himself down, he looked at Mr. Fu’s contact name and thought it was time to change it to something more affectionate. 

 

He thought for a moment and first changed Mr. Fu’s contact name to **[Boyfriend]**. However, since they were already married, calling him a boyfriend seemed a bit too casual.

 

He gritted his teeth and, with great embarrassment, changed the contact name to **[Hubby]**.

 

Shen Yunxing: “……”

 

He looked at the word “Hubby” and his face turned a deeper shade of red. After enduring for two minutes, he still found it too embarrassing and quietly changed the contact name to English. His cheeks were still burning, so he switched it to French, feeling a bit better.

 

But… why did the word sound so familiar? It was as if he had heard it somewhere before.

 

He listened to the pronunciation again and suddenly widened his eyes.

 

This was the same word Mr. Fu had used when speaking with that French man at the hotel when he first met Bing Ying!

 

He had wanted to look it up online back then but didn’t know the spelling, so he never found out. Now, he accidentally learned the meaning.

 

It turned out that Mr. Fu had already acknowledged him as his beloved in front of others at that time…

 

His face flushed again. Before he could cool down, Mr. Fu’s video call came through, and his blush deepened to his neck.

 

“Mr. Fu.” He buried his face in the pillow, calling out shyly.

 

“Hmm, why are you hiding under the covers?” Mr. Fu teased the young man, “Don’t want me to see you?”

 

Shen Yunxing quickly shook his head. “No.”

 

He looked at Mr. Fu, who was perfectly handsome even with his chin. His head shrank further into the covers.

 

“Mr. Fu, I know what ‘mon amour’ means now…”

 

“Really?” Mr. Fu asked with a smile, “What does it mean?”

 

“It means… it means…” Shen Yunxing’s face was so red it looked like it was bleeding. He clutched the corner of the blanket and, with great embarrassment, said in a small voice, “It means hubby and lover…”

 

Mr. Fu looked at the young man with even more intense affection than before.

 

“Baby, call me that again,” he coaxed softly.

 

Shen Yunxing’s face was completely flushed. Although he was so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into the blanket, he still asked the man quietly, “In French or Chinese…”

 

What was meant to be a playful tease ended up with the shy young man actually agreeing.

 

Mr. Fu’s eyes darkened. His voice grew a bit deeper as he said, “Chinese.”

 

“Okay… okay.”

 

Shen Yunxing gripped the blanket tightly, his mouth opening and closing as he struggled for a long time without managing to say a single word. 

 

After much effort, he finally managed to say “Husband” but got stuck on “Hubby.”

 

Mr. Fu watched as the young man’s face turned bright red but still stubbornly didn’t give up. He chuckled softly.

 

He reached out and gently tapped the young man’s forehead, saying softly, “Alright, I won’t force you. There’s still plenty of time. If you can’t say it now, you can try again later…”

 

“Hubby!”

 

Mr. Fu was taken aback, and when he came to his senses, the young man had already hidden completely under the covers, not showing a single strand of hair.

 

“Baby, isn’t it stuffy in there?” he asked with a smile.

 

The cocooned baby shook his head.

 

“Since you don’t want to see me, then goodnight?”

 

“No!” Shen Yunxing suddenly threw off the covers, his face turning even redder than a tomato. 

 

“Mr. Fu, don’t hang up.” He grabbed his phone and spoke quickly.

 

“I’m not hanging up; I was just teasing you,” Mr. Fu said with a laugh. “I’ll hang up once you fall asleep.”

 

Shen Yunxing nodded and lay on his side, staring intently at the man on the screen. The smile on his lips stayed until he fell asleep.

 

“Good night, baby.” Mr. Fu whispered as he looked at the sweet sleeping face of the young man.

 

……

 

The next morning, Shen Yunxing opened his eyes and, seeing the man lying beside him, was still a bit in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and, realizing that the person in front of him wasn’t a dream, called out in surprise.

 

“Mr. Fu!”

 

He snuggled into the man’s embrace and nuzzled against his chest.

 

“Good morning, baby.” Mr. Fu smiled, stroking the young man’s short hair.

 

“Mr. Fu, get out of my son’s room!” 

 

Outside the bedroom, Shen’s father yelled angrily.

 

Shen Yunxing’s brother, who had let Mr. Fu in, thought to himself: Damn it! I step out for a moment to use the bathroom, and you sneak into my brother’s room. You got caught, and now you’re dragging me down with you?

 

“Making a racket so early in the morning, don’t you fear the neighbors will report you for disturbing the peace?” Shen’s mother said from downstairs. “I told you to call the kids down for breakfast, just get them to come down and don’t meddle in anything else.”

 

The couple, dressed and coming out of the room, heard this and exchanged glances, both seeing amusement in each other’s eyes.

 

“Mr. Fu, it seems like Mrs. Shen’s hostility towards you has lessened,” Shen Yunxing whispered to Mr. Fu.

 

“What are you doing?!” Shen’s father glared at the two. 

 

To act so intimate in front of him—did he have no temper?

 

“Dad, I’m really hungry. Let’s go downstairs for breakfast,” Shen Yunxing said, rubbing his stomach pitifully.

 

Thinking of his grandchild in Shen Yunxing’s belly, Shen’s father’s expression softened. He cleared his throat and lowered his voice.

 

“If you’re hungry, hurry up and come down. You’re grown up; you shouldn’t need to be called for every meal.”

 

“I’ll be right down.” Shen Yunxing smiled sweetly. “Dad, you go ahead. I’ll wash up and join you.”

 

Shen’s father nodded and walked down a few steps. Seeing that Mr. Fu was still standing by Shen Yunxing’s side and had no intention of leaving, he almost lost his temper.

 

“Mr. Fu, I’m going to wash up now,” Shen Yunxing said, looking at the man. “Do you want to wash your face with me?”

 

“Sure.”

 

The bathroom wasn’t very large, and with two people inside, it took up most of the space.

 

The couple stood side by side at the sink, their arms touching, and the reflection in the mirror showed them closely pressed together.

 

On the left, the young man had a hint of pink on his face, and his eyes were smiling.

 

On the right, the man’s lips were slightly upturned, his eyes filled with gentle affection.

 

“Mr. Fu, this towel is mine.” Shen Yunxing said, pointing to a towel with a bunny print while brushing his teeth. He was a bit embarrassed.

 

“It’s cute,” Mr. Fu teased with a smile. “Its red eyes look a lot like yours.”

 

“How could that be? How could normal human eyes look like a rabbit’s…?”

 

Suddenly, Shen Yunxing remembered that Mr. Fu had once said he cried like a little red-eyed rabbit on the night of their engagement, and they had just finished…

 

Shen Yunxing’s face turned even redder. He turned his head away from Mr. Fu, but still couldn’t resist sneaking glances at him. When caught, his face turned even hotter.

 

After washing up, just as they were about to leave, Shen Yunxing tugged on the hem of Mr. Fu’s shirt.

 

“Mr. Fu, morning kiss.” Shen Yunxing said, his cheeks still red. “I’ve already brushed my teeth.”

 

The young man’s soft and adorable demeanor made Mr. Fu’s heart flutter.

 

He took Shen Yunxing’s wrist and pulled him into an embrace, leaning down to place a gentle kiss on the young man’s forehead. Then, under Shen Yunxing’s not-so-satisfied gaze, he kissed those slightly pursed lips.
