Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 77

After Shen’s father and mother visited their younger son and the baby, they returned to work.

 

Upon receiving the news, Shen Yunshu immediately called via video chat. Shen Yunxing told his brother that the baby was in the incubator and wouldn’t be seen until the next day, which left Shen Yunshu a bit disappointed. Then Shen Yunxing heard his sister-in-law’s voice.

 

“If you like it, you can have one yourself.”

 

Shen Yunxing was drinking water and looked up at his brother.

 

Shen Yunshu, with a dark expression, said, “Rest well. I’ll visit you and the baby the day after tomorrow.”

 

“Mm.”

 

Before the video call ended, Shen Yunxing seemed to hear his sister-in-law begging…

 

In the afternoon, Old Master Tang and Tang Che also arrived. The old master first visited his son-in-law and then looked through the glass window at the sleeping baby. When he returned from the nursery, his face was so full of joy that his wrinkles seemed to have disappeared.

 

Our Tang family has another grandson.

 

“Yunxing, you’ve worked hard,” Old Master Tang said, sitting by the bed with a look of heartfelt sympathy.

 

Shen Yunxing shook his head, showing a well-behaved smile. “It’s not hard at all.”

 

“Tingzhou, have you named the baby?” Tang Che asked from the side.

 

“Fu Xingzhou.” Fu Tingzhou looked at the youth with gentle eyes.

 

“Fu Xingzhou.” Tang Che repeated, “Damn, that’s a lot of dog food!”

 

Shen Yunxing smiled a bit awkwardly. “The baby’s nickname is Zhouzhou, from Noah’s Ark.”

 

“That’s a good name, though it sounds a bit like Tingzhou, as if they could be brothers,” Old Master Tang murmured quietly.

 

“Grandpa?” Shen Yunxing didn’t catch that.

 

“Cough, cough.” Old Master Tang cleared his throat. “By the way, is my great-grandson’s health okay?”

 

“Little Zhouzhou is very healthy, but since he’s a preterm baby, he needs to stay in the incubator for a night to monitor his condition,” Liu Huai Jin, who had returned from rounds, said with a smile.

 

“Dear, are you tired today? You have a surgery later, so let me bring you dinner,” Tang Che immediately clung to his wife as soon as she arrived.

 

Liu Huai Jin pushed away the clingy person, chatted briefly with Old Master Tang and the others, then went off to her tasks.

 

After dinner, Shen Yunxing’s anesthesia wore off completely. To avoid worrying Mr. Fu, he pretended to be sleepy, yawned, and ate only half of the porridge Mr. Fu fed him before lying back down to sleep.

 

The youth’s eyelashes trembled, and the skin at the corners of his eyes turned slightly red, hardly resembling someone who was asleep.

 

Fu Tingzhou lay beside the youth, gently pulling him into his arms.

 

“Is the wound starting to hurt?” He kissed the youth’s forehead, his voice filled with concern.

 

“Mm.” Shen Yunxing nodded, secretly rubbing away tears from the corners of his eyes onto Mr. Fu’s clothes.

 

It wasn’t very painful, but as soon as Mr. Fu asked, the tears couldn’t help but fall.

 

Noticing the dampness on his chest, Fu Tingzhou stiffened slightly.

 

He held the youth’s hand, opened the pain pump, and softly comforted him. “Be good, it will stop hurting soon.”

 

The head in his arms nodded slightly, and after a moment, Fu Tingzhou heard the youth’s steady breathing.

 

…

 

The next morning, Shen Yunxing woke up to see the little one lying beside him, and his eyes immediately brightened.

 

“Zhouzhou, how are you here?” He reached out and gently poked the baby’s cheek.

 

Fu Tingzhou came in with breakfast and saw the youth interacting with the baby.

 

Newborn babies usually don’t react much to their surroundings. Their occasional smiles are often unconscious.

 

But seeing the youth’s happy expression, it was clear he was unaware.

 

“Mr. Fu, the baby smiled at me.” Shen Yunxing waved him over, “Come and see, Zhouzhou looks especially cute when he smiles, like a little angel.”

 

Fu Tingzhou smiled and walked over.

 

The baby had just woken up, staring blankly at the ceiling with its big eyes. When it heard the sound, the little one blinked and turned its small head toward the two fathers, though it wasn’t clear if it truly understood or was just acting unconsciously.

 

“Mr. Fu, look, Zhouzhou smiled again!” Shen Yunxing said excitedly, looking at the baby’s slightly upturned lips.

 

“Mm.” Fu Tingzhou gently poked the little fleshy spot on the baby’s hand and smiled. “Our Zhouzhou baby, like Daddy, is also a cute little angel.”

 

Hearing this, Shen Yunxing’s face flushed.

 

He turned to look at the sleepy baby, his smile sweet and happy.

 

…

 

After spending five days in the hospital, Shen Yunxing was allowed to go home for recovery due to his good physical condition.

 

On the day of discharge, Shen’s parents took a day off work to help bring him home from the hospital and then began preparing chicken soup for their younger son.

 

In just a few days, baby Fu Xingzhou had become even more delicate and tender. His big, dark eyes blinked and turned around, making him incredibly adorable.

 

“Oh, my precious grandson is so cute, how did he become so adorable?” Shen’s father, holding the baby after a feeding, said while patting the baby’s back and smiling. “You weren’t as cute as Zhouzhou when you were a baby. Zhouzhou is the cutest child in our family, isn’t he, Zhouzhou?”

 

“He used to say that to me, too.” Shen Yunxing, leaning against Mr. Fu while eating porridge, pouted.

 

Fu Tingzhou, upon hearing this, kissed the youth’s forehead.

 

“In my eyes, you will always be the cutest.”

 

“Mr. Fu, how…” Shen Yunxing blushed.

 

Mr. Fu had been acting unusually lately, always saying such things and particularly fond of kissing him. Yesterday alone, Mr. Fu had kissed him more than ten times in an hour. By the end of the day, he might be kissed bald!

 

He touched his forehead and smiled.

 

Even if he got kissed bald, he was still a handsome guy, so Mr. Fu probably wouldn’t mind.

 

“Fallen asleep?” Shen’s mother, bringing in chicken soup, saw the baby in Shen’s father’s arms with eyes closed and thought he was asleep. But as soon as she spoke, the baby suddenly opened his eyes.

 

With his big eyes staring intently at Shen’s mother, she was so soft-hearted that she called him “darling” several times.

 

“Mom, it seems like Zhouzhou is looking at the soup bowl in your hand,” Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but say.

 

“Don’t be silly, how could such a tiny baby understand these things?” Shen’s mother said, deliberately moving the soup away. Yet, the little one’s gaze did indeed follow the bowl!

 

“Oh my, already looking for food by scent in just a few days. He’s going to be a little foodie when he grows up,” Shen’s mother laughed, poking the baby’s nose. “This greedy little look is just like how your father was when he was a child.”

 

“I was never that greedy when I was little,” Shen Yunxing didn’t believe it and thought his mother was deliberately bad-mouthing him in front of the baby.

 

“Of course, you were greedy,” Shen’s mother handed the soup to her younger son and reminisced. “When your dad was at work and I was taking care of you at home, you’d lick up the milk powder you accidentally spilled on the table before I even had a chance to clean it up. When I turned around, I saw milk powder on the corner of your mouth, and I almost laughed myself to tears.”

 

Shen Yunxing: “……”

 

“That’s not even the worst. I remember once when we visited a neighbor, and you saw a little girl eating candy. Your eyes just stared at it. If I hadn’t stopped you, you would have pounced and tried to snatch it right out of her mouth.”

 

“……That’s impossible. I have no memory of any of this.”

 

Shen’s mother said, “Those were things that happened before you were three. It’s normal not to remember.” She took the baby from Shen’s father. “Your dad is such a foodie, but he doesn’t want to admit it.”

 

Shen Yunxing: “……”

 

Doesn’t he care about his dignity?

 

“Zhouzhou is asleep. Finish the soup and get some rest, too. Otherwise, if the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, you won’t get any good sleep,” Shen’s mother said, placing the baby back in the crib and looking a bit uneasy about leaving the house with just the two men.

 

“Why don’t I ask for a few more days off from school to help you look after Zhouzhou? I’m really not at ease leaving you two men at home. Finding a suitable nanny temporarily is also difficult,” she said.

 

The main issue is that with how Shen’s younger son looks, others might question where the child came from. It’s best if it’s someone who knows them well or is very discreet.

 

“Mom, there’s no need to take leave. The nanny who took care of Mr. Fu’s grandmother recommended someone to us. She can start tomorrow,” Shen Yunxing said.

 

Shen’s mother frowned. “Is she reliable? How old is she? Can she take care of a pregnant woman and the baby?”

 

“Ms. Shen, don’t worry. The nanny who recommended her treated me and Mr. Fu like her own children. The person she recommended must be trustworthy.”

 

Seeing her son-in-law nod, Shen’s mother felt reassured. “Alright then. Remember to call home if you need anything.”

 

“Got it.”

 

After lunch, Shen’s mother helped wash a few of the baby’s clothes before leaving with Shen’s father.

 

“Mom and Dad have gone?” Shen Yunxing, leaning against the bed and browsing Weibo, asked when Mr. Fu returned.

 

“Mm. What are you looking at?” Fu Tingzhou sat beside the youth and kissed him on the side of the head.

 

Here he goes again, Mr. Fu is really clingy.

 

Shen Yunxing smiled.

 

“The video of me and Sister Su playing games was uploaded online by fans,” he said, showing Mr. Fu his phone. “This morning, ‘King of Gun’ officially contacted me, asking if I would be interested in endorsing their game.”

 

Mr. Fu kissed the youth’s forehead again.

 

“Do you want to go?” Mr. Fu asked.

 

Shen Yunxing thought for a moment and said, “I want to go, but I also have variety shows and competitions. That would mean I’d be separated from the baby for a while.”

 

The baby is so small, he really doesn’t want to be apart from him. But ‘King of Gun’ is the game he especially likes, and it includes a gift from Mr. Fu, so he doesn’t want to miss this opportunity.

 

“If you want to go, then go. I’ll bring the baby to visit you on set,” Mr. Fu said.

 

“Really?” Shen Yunxing’s eyes lit up, and his eyelids were kissed by Mr. Fu.

 

“Really.” Fu Tingzhou said gently.

 

Shen Yunxing closed his eyes with a content smile from Mr. Fu’s kiss.

 

“The competition starts at the beginning of April, and the baby will only be a month old by then. Is it really okay to go out?” he worriedly asked.

 

“As long as we take good care of protection and warmth, it will be fine.”

 

Shen Yunxing felt excited and kissed Mr. Fu’s chin.

 

“Mr. Fu, I’m going to participate in the competition.”

 

“Okay. I’ll have Secretary Yang contact your agent later,” Mr. Fu said, and then he started kissing Shen Yunxing with delicate, numerous kisses.

 

For a moment, Shen Yunxing suddenly imagined a fish pouting its lips to kiss. 

 

Mr. Fu has turned into a kissing fish. He thought with amusement.

 

“Mr. Fu, let’s keep the baby in our room. I don’t feel comfortable leaving him alone in the nursery.” Shen Yunxing said before falling asleep.

 

“Alright, sleep.”

 

The nursery had surveillance cameras, but for a couple of new parents, it still felt safest to have the baby close by.

 

So, baby Zhouzhou’s crib was placed as close to the two fathers as possible.

 

In the middle of the night, Shen Yunxing seemed to hear the baby crying. He groggily tried to open his eyes, but before he could, Mr. Fu kissed his eyelids.

 

“Be good, continue sleeping.”

 

The youth, snuggling against the blanket, fell asleep again. Fu Tingzhou gently lifted the baby, who was softly whimpering in the crib.

 

“Zhouzhou, Daddy is sleeping, so you can’t wake him.”

 

The six-day-old baby pouted and began to cry loudly.

 

“Wah—”

 

Fu Tingzhou said, “Daddy is trying to reason with you. Why are you crying? A grown man doesn’t cry.”

 

He said sternly while carrying the baby out of the bedroom.

 

“Wah—”
