Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 60

After breakfast, Mrs. Shen called Shen Yunxing to the study.

“This was given to me by your grandmother back in the day. Now, I’m passing it on to you,” Mrs. Shen said as she handed a box to her youngest son.

“Mom?” Shen Yunxing looked at the ornate box in his arms and then up at his mother, bewildered. “We have a family heirloom?”

“Of course. This was passed down from your great-grandmother. You must take good care of it.”

Mrs. Shen opened the box to reveal a jade pendant of exceptional quality, with no impurities. Though the gold and silver settings had oxidized, the jade still shimmered beautifully.

“It’s so beautiful,” Shen Yunxing marveled.

“This pendant was a token of affection between your great-grandmother and great-grandfather. There are two of them, one for you and one for your brother. I had thought that if times got tough, I might have to sell it for emergency funds, but it seems we won’t need to now,” Mrs. Shen said, looking at her son with a hint of meaning.

Shen Yunxing’s ears turned slightly red at her words.

“Mom, I’ll take good care of it,” he promised as he carefully stored the pendant.

Mrs. Shen nodded and then asked, “Have you packed your things?”

“Packed?” Shen Yunxing looked confused.

Mrs. Shen gave him a sideways glance. “Aren’t you moving out to live with Mr. Fu? Aren’t you going?”

“Yes!” His eyes lit up, and he turned to head back to his room to pack his snacks.

“Once you leave, don’t come back. I get annoyed with you being around the house all the time.”

He stopped in his tracks, looking back at Mrs. Shen in disbelief.

“Mrs. Shen, you’re agreeing to let me move out and live with Mr. Fu?”

“What else can I do? If you’re not here, you’re not eating well, not sleeping well, and you keep scratching at the door in the middle of the night like a mouse. Our family is poor, and we can’t afford to fix the door if you damage it.”

Shen Yunxing’s face turned bright red, and he scratched his nose, embarrassed. “That mouse is really annoying.”

“Exactly. That’s why I had someone take the mouse away,” Mrs. Shen said with a hint of reluctance. “Don’t forget your mother once you have a new family. Remember to come back and visit often.”

Shen Yunxing’s nose tingled, and his eyes reddened, almost to the point of tears.

“I understand. Mr. Fu and I have decided to live in Lin’an for now, and we’ll move to Yun City after I resume school.”

Mrs. Shen urged him, “Alright, hurry up and leave. If you dawdle any longer, Mr. Fu will be late for work.”

She was genuinely afraid her youngest son might cry. Pregnant women find it hard to calm someone who’s crying.

“Okay.” Shen Yunxing wiped his eyes, went up to Mrs. Shen for a hug, and then returned to his room to pack.

When he emerged from the bedroom, Mrs. Shen looked at him with concern.

There was no trace of sadness on her son’s face. Instead, he was beaming with a smile that seemed to stretch from ear to ear!

Downstairs in the living room, Shen Yunxing, with his snack bag on his back, eagerly jumped into Mr. Fu’s arms.

“Mr. Fu, Mom agreed that I can move in with you! And…”

He grinned mysteriously, leaning closer to Mr. Fu’s ear and whispering, “Mom kicked me out of the house. Mr. Fu, would you be willing to take in this weak, pitiful, and helpless person?”

Upon hearing this, Fu Tingzhou’s hand around the boy’s waist tightened suddenly, but he controlled his strength to avoid hurting him.

“Yes,” Fu Tingzhou said with a soft smile.

“Cough, cough—”

Mr. Shen, who had just finished washing the dishes, came out of the kitchen and was enraged to see his son and Mr. Fu hugging so intimately. He cleared his throat loudly, intending to give the scoundrel who took his son away a piece of his mind. But after catching Mrs. Shen’s warning glance, he reluctantly held back his frustration.

“Mom and Dad, we’re leaving now. We’ll make sure to visit often,” Fu Tingzhou said, holding Shen Yunxing’s hand.

Mrs. Shen waved him off. “Go ahead, and be careful on the road.”

Mr. Shen turned his head, pretending he hadn’t heard.

Who are you calling Dad?! Who is your father!

Thinking back to a few months ago when they were calling each other “brother,” now “Brother Fu” had turned into his son-in-law. Mr. Shen was furious and wanted to bite Mr. Fu several times.

“Don’t mind him. Just go, or you’ll really be late,” Mrs. Shen said.

The couple nodded.

“Recently, ‘Ruilai Technology’ has been doing well. You might want to pay attention to this stock,” Fu Tingzhou said before they left.

Mr. Shen ignored him and, after they left, went to the study to research ‘Ruilai Technology’ on his own.

“This is great,” Shen Yunxing said in the elevator, swinging Mr. Fu’s hand. “We can finally be together openly.”

Fu Tingzhou didn’t say anything but looked at the boy with affectionate eyes.

“Mr. Fu, I start filming the day after tomorrow. Will you come to visit me on set?” Shen Yunxing asked expectantly.

“Yes.”

Hearing this, Shen Yunxing’s smile grew even brighter.

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Half an hour later, they arrived at the company right on time.

Secretary Yang, who hadn’t seen his beloved “little wife” in a while, provided a detailed work report while following his boss around, just to get another look at his incredibly cute and charming wife.

“Boss, the snacks and new blanket you asked for are still in their original place. The lounge has also been renovated as you instructed.”

Fu Tingzhou nodded and gave Secretary Yang a look that indicated it was time for him to leave.

“This is no longer your concern. Go back to work.”

“Alright.” Secretary Yang took one last look at the little wife munching on snacks like a little hamster before reluctantly leaving.

“Mr. Fu, why do you always get me cartoon blankets?” Once they were alone in the office, Shen Yunxing, holding the blanket, blushed and quietly complained to Mr. Fu.

Last time it was SpongeBob and Patrick.

This time it’s Jerry and Tom.

Is Mr. Fu misunderstanding something about himself? He’s eighteen, not eight. Though these cartoons are fun, they’re too childish and don’t fit his future movie star style.

“Don’t like them?” Fu Tingzhou asked with a smile.

“I do like them, but…” 

But he’s going to be a future film emperor!

What if paparazzi catch him getting out of the car with a big pair of sunglasses, looking all cool and aloof?

But here he is, getting out of the car with a blanket featuring Tom and a “children’s water bottle” slung over his shoulder. Is this appropriate?!

After enjoying the boy’s forlorn little expression, Fu Tingzhou said with a smile in his eyes, “I’ll have someone get you a different one.”

“Okay!”

Shen Yunxing was instantly appeased, flashing a sweet smile at the man before heading to the lounge to catch up on some sleep.

The newly renovated lounge was styled similarly to their home, featuring a two-meter-wide bed that was incredibly comfortable to sleep on.

Shen Yunxing slept soundly until past eleven, only waking up when Fu Tingzhou came in to call him for lunch.

In the afternoon, Director Zheng Bin sent a message notifying him that the production team was starting early, and he needed to report to the set the next day.

“Ugh.” He propped his chin on his hand and sighed.

Fu Tingzhou, who was checking emails, looked up at the sound of the sigh.

“Feeling bored?”

Shen Yunxing shook his head.

“The production team is starting early, and I have to start filming tomorrow,” Shen Yunxing said with another deep sigh.

He hadn’t had enough of their time together, and now he had to start working. He didn’t want to be apart from Mr. Fu yet QAQ.

The boy’s reluctant gaze was like a little kitten’s claws scratching at Fu Tingzhou’s chest.

It didn’t hurt, but it made him want to scoop up that mischievous little kitten and cuddle him.

Not wanting to compromise, Fu Tingzhou stood up, walked over to Shen Yunxing, and pulled the little mischief-maker into his arms.

“What time do you leave tomorrow?”

Shen Yunxing nuzzled against the man’s waist and murmured, “Before ten.”

“Alright, I’ll take you.”

“Mm.” He nodded glumly.

Seeing the boy’s unhappy mood, Fu Tingzhou finished his work, instructed Secretary Yang to take unimportant tasks to be approved by the Fu family’s Ruian, and then left work early with Shen Yunxing.

“Mr. Fu, where are we going?” Shen Yunxing asked, looking out the car window at the familiar scenery.

Isn’t this the road to Wucheng Mountain?

“Your grandfather called earlier and said he missed you, so I’m taking you home. Also, Tang Tang and Liu Huaiqin are there today; we’ll have dinner together.”

“Dr. Liu and Brother Tang are together?” Shen Yunxing asked in surprise.

“Not yet, but it should be soon,” Fu Tingzhou said with a smile.

Shen Yunxing blinked. What does “should be soon” mean?

He pondered this as he and Mr. Fu headed to the farmhouse.

At the “lie-down-and-eat” farmhouse, the main characters of the conversation were facing off.

Both had unsightly expressions: one with arms crossed and a cold demeanor, and the other with furrowed brows and a pale face.

“Liu Huaiqin! Didn’t you say you liked me a lot? Now you’re with some effeminate guy. What does this mean?! Is your affection so cheap?!”

“I told you, I don’t. That’s just an intern I’m supervising. He’s like a student to me.” Liu Huaiqin remained relatively calm. After all, Tang Che had said similar things many times over the years, and he was used to it.

“Bullshit! Student? You two were practically about to kiss each other. Are teachers now also teaching students how to kiss on the side?!” Tang Che’s eyes turned red with anger as he recalled the scene he had seen that day.

“Tang Che, watch your mouth.”

“Oh, so you’re unhappy with me calling your ‘lover’ a little sissy? You said it was fine, but now it’s ‘dogshit’? I’m only away for a few days on a business trip, and you end up with another man. Are you that desperate for men?!”

Liu Huaiqin felt a pang in his heart, closed his eyes, and said with a trembling voice, “Tang Che, is this how you’ve always seen me?”

“Tang, I…”

Seeing Liu Huaiqin’s face turn pale and fragile, as if he could shatter with a touch, Tang Che panicked.

Especially when Liu Huaiqin said, “If that’s the case, then let it be,” Tang Che became even more flustered.

“Tang Che, I’m tired,” Liu Huaiqin said softly.

…

When the couple arrived, they heard an intense argument coming from the courtyard, which quickly fell silent.

“That’s Brother Tang and Dr. Liu’s voices,” Shen Yunxing said quietly.

Fu Tingzhou nodded and was about to push the door open when a series of loud noises came from inside.

Frowning, he thought the two might be fighting. But when he opened the door, he saw Liu Huaiqin pinned against the wall and being kissed by Tang Che, who seemed to be out of control, almost tearing Liu Huaiqin’s pants off.

Fu Tingzhou: “…”

Shen Yunxing gasped in shock, looking as if he had never seen such a scene before.

Just as they were debating whether to interrupt, they saw Grandpa Tang, lounging on a recliner not far away, waving at them with a smile.

“Youth is truly a blessing,” Grandpa Tang said, taking a sip of tea and sincerely lamenting.
