Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 81

“Oh my God, these two are so sweet! The head pat is forever a classic!” The short-haired girl said excitedly.

“Yeah, and their looks are so high!” The long-haired girl said, pulling out her phone to take a discreet photo of their backs. But when she looked up, she realized the two had already left in the car!

……

“Strawberry cake?” Shen Yunxing turned to place the flowers in the back seat, and his eyes instantly brightened when he saw the strawberry cake on the seat.

“Gege, did you buy this for me?” He turned to ask the man, and upon receiving a positive answer, his smile grew even brighter.

He leaned over and gave the man a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you!”

Seeing the youth constantly glancing back at the strawberry cake, Fu Tingzhou chuckled. “The cake won’t run away. Sit down first.”

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Shen Yunxing replied with a soft “Oh.”

Twenty minutes later, as the couple entered their home, they were immediately greeted by the heart-wrenching cries of baby Zhou Zhou.

Shen Yunxing, heart aching at the sound, ran barefoot into the living room, not even pausing to change out of his slippers, and took his son from Aunt Song.

“Don’t cry, Zhou Zhou. Daddy is back.” He kissed the baby’s red, tear-streaked face, his own eyes turning red as well.

“Oh, you’re finally back,” Aunt Song said, rubbing her lower back. “He’s already recognizing people after just a month. I’ve fed him and changed his diaper, but nothing seems to calm him down. If you two hadn’t come back, this little guy would’ve started tearing the roof off.”

“Sorry for the trouble. I’ll call a car to take you back later,” Fu Tingzhou said.

“It’s no trouble at all. It’s what I should do.” Aunt Song glanced towards the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, and said, “While Zhou Zhou was sleeping, I cleaned out your fridge a bit. With only the two of you men living here, there’s no one to manage the household chores. Some of the vegetables and meat were spoiled, and you didn’t even know.”

“I’ve cleaned everything up. I’ll help you carry the trash out when you leave,” she added.

Shen Yunxing didn’t think much of it. He and Mr. Fu hadn’t really paid attention to these details, so he said thank you.

Aunt Song waved her hand. “Oh, no need to thank me. It’s no big deal.”

“The car’s here,” Fu Tingzhou said, ending the call.

“Okay, Mr. Fu, you don’t need to see me off. I can go downstairs myself.”

Fu Tingzhou nodded, walked her to the door, and said with a detached tone, “Aunt Song, don’t come tomorrow.”

“You’re not going out?” Aunt Song thought that the couple would be home the next day and that she wouldn’t need to come to look after the baby, as this had happened before. She agreed without thinking too much. “Alright, let me know when you’re busy again.”

After sending her off, Fu Tingzhou looked at the large and small figures on the sofa, his cold demeanor gradually replaced by tenderness.

“Gege, this little rascal is getting harder and harder to deal with,” Shen Yunxing said, gently tapping his son’s red, crying nose with his finger. “He already knows how to seek attention at this age. What will we do when he gets older?”

“It’s okay. When you’re busy, I can take Zhou Zhou to the office,” Fu Tingzhou said.

“Take the baby to the office?” Shen Yunxing blinked. “Won’t that affect your work?”

“No,” Fu Tingzhou paused, then said, “Aunt Song won’t be coming starting tomorrow.”

Shen Yunxing’s expression froze for a moment. “Why? Did something happen at home?”

“The food in the fridge is replaced daily. Even if something goes bad, it shouldn’t be that much,” Fu Tingzhou said, gently pulling his finger out of Zhou Zhou’s mouth. “It’s okay to be a little greedy, but she shouldn’t let Zhou Zhou cry alone in the room for so long.”

“Have you checked the surveillance?” Shen Yunxing almost forgot that there were cameras in the baby’s room.

Seeing Fu Tingzhou nod, Shen Yunxing’s heart sank.

“I’m sorry, Zhou Zhou. Daddy misunderstood you,” he said, his voice trembling as he kissed his son repeatedly.

The little one thought Daddy was playing and happily grinned.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable from not taking good care of the baby, Fu Tingzhou hugged both Shen Yunxing and their son, kissing the youth’s head and saying softly, “From now on, I’ll take care of Zhou Zhou personally, so he won’t be wronged again.”

Shen Yunxing nodded. “We’ll take care of him together.”

“Okay.”

“Ahh~” The little one didn’t understand what was happening, but seeing himself being held by both dads, he kicked his little feet happily.

“Zhou Zhou is so good. Daddy will stay home with you tomorrow, okay?” Shen Yunxing said, kissing his son’s chubby little hand with a smile.

“Ah~” Zhou Zhou grabbed one of his fingers and happily tried to put it in his mouth.

“Silly Zhou Zhou, this is Daddy’s finger, not something to eat.”

“Ahh-pff~” The baby didn’t understand, so he tried to eat his own little hand instead. When Daddy took it away, he pouted and almost cried. Shen Yunxing quickly put the pacifier that Fu Tingzhou handed him into the baby’s mouth.

Shen Yunxing put on a serious face. “Zhou Zhou, hands have a lot of germs. You can’t eat them, okay?”

Zhou Zhou didn’t know, sucking on the pacifier, blinking his eyes, and looking like he was about to fall asleep.

Shen Yunxing: “……”

Shen Yunxing was completely exasperated.

“Zhou Zhou is still young. He’ll understand more as he grows,” Fu Tingzhou said, rubbing the youth’s head and smiling.

The next day, Fu Tingzhou sent a text to Aunt Song, informing her that she didn’t need to come to work anymore and gave her double the salary.

Realizing her small act of greed had been discovered, Aunt Song accepted the money and didn’t call to cause any more trouble.

……

March 30th was Shen’s mother’s birthday. The couple took their little penguin-wrapped baby to their home in the Seine-et-Marne province early in the morning.

“Oh, my precious grandson is here! Come let Grandma see you,” Shen’s mother immediately welcomed them as they entered the house.

She took the little penguin from her son, opened the blanket, and saw the baby with big, round eyes, looking around energetically.

“Wow, still awake?” Shen’s mother said in surprise.

“Of course,” Shen Yunxing hung up his coat and turned around proudly. “He’s so smart. He knows we’re going out and has been excited the whole way.”

“Mom, this is the mountain produce that Dad and I brought for you and Dad,” Fu Tingzhou said.

“Mountain produce? These are good things!” Shen’s mother smiled. “Bring them in. Later, let your dad cook us some of his special dishes.”

After entering the house, Shen Yunxing didn’t see his brother and turned to ask his mother, “Where’s my brother? Hasn’t he come back yet?”

“Your brother had something urgent at school and couldn’t make it back,” Shen’s mother said, while playing with her grandson.

“How come Zhou Zhou is so smart? Which baby can recognize people at just over a month old? Our Zhou Zhou is the best, right?”

“Mm-hmm~” The little one responded unconsciously.

Hearing this, Shen’s mother was overjoyed and praised the baby as a smart little one, showering him with compliments.

With a baby’s energy being limited even at over a month old, after Shen’s mother fed him and held him for a while, the little one fell asleep sucking on his pacifier.

Shen’s mother had a baby stroller ready, and Shen Yunxing placed his son in it, arranging him comfortably.

“Tingzhou, why don’t you two move in here?” Shen’s mother suggested after hearing that Aunt Song would no longer be working for them.

“Your mom and I aren’t so old that we can’t help out. We can take care of the baby ourselves. There’s no need for an outsider,” Shen’s father said with a frown. “It’s fortunate that it was just a small act of greed. If she were to do something worse and Zhou Zhou got hurt, you’d be the ones crying.”

“Why scare the kids like that?” Shen’s mother gave Shen’s father a look, then turned to the couple and asked, “What do you think?”

“Mom, you and Dad still have to work. Yunxing and I can take care of Zhou Zhou,” Fu Tingzhou said.

Shen’s mother nodded. “It’s good for the child to be with you from a young age. Yunxing is on leave right now and can help you take care of him. Otherwise, when filming starts again and you’re flying all over, the child might not even see you.”

“We’ll visit when your mom and I are free,” Shen’s father said.

The two families’ neighborhoods were not far apart; it was just a short drive of about ten minutes.

So, the arrangement was settled.

After dinner, Shen’s parents indulged in the now-awake and refreshed baby for a while before finally letting the couple leave.

Once home, the couple put the little one to sleep and were snuggling and chatting when Su Yin’s call came in.

“Have you checked Weibo? The stars participating in the ‘Ultimate Gun King’ celebrity match have been confirmed!” Su Yin said rapidly after the call was connected.

“Not yet.” Shen Yunxing leaned against Mr. Fu, replying while slowly opening Weibo.

“There are thirty stars competing, forming ten teams, and each team has one amateur,” Su Yin said. “When you get there, you need to pick your teammates. Yunxing, you have to choose me and Qiao Qiao.”

“Qiao Ge is fine, but Su Jie, I’ll have to think about it,” Shen Yunxing joked.

“Don’t be like that. I’ve been training hard and am not as bad as before.”

“Besides, you think other stars’ skills will be any better? Zheng Jieyuan’s Star Diamond was achieved with someone else’s help. Many people didn’t even make it to Gun King, let alone Gun God,” Su Yin tried to sell herself, “Instead of blindly picking someone whose skills are unknown, it’s better to choose someone you know well. Isn’t that right, little brother?”

“Hmm—” Shen Yunxing deliberately stretched his tone, “Okay, I’ll pick you and Qiao Ge.”

“That’s the spirit! I’ll notify Qiao Qiao later. He’s worked with Zheng Jieyuan before, so we won’t be snatched away.”

“Got it.”

“Brother, I’m going to the match the day after tomorrow.” After hanging up, Shen Yunxing turned and hugged Mr. Fu’s neck, looking reluctant. “I’ll miss you and Zhou Zhou so much.”

Fu Tingzhou smiled, stroking the youth’s hair. “It’s only five days. I’ll pick you up in the evenings.”

“Better not,” Shen Yunxing shook his head. “Even though the variety show is recorded in Lin’an, there will still be selection by several teams. If JD Eternal Team picks me, it would be too far from home.”

He kissed Mr. Fu’s chin. “I don’t want to make things too hard for you.”

“There’s a property near the JD base in the land deed your grandpa gave you,” Fu Tingzhou, who had done his homework, said. “Zhou Zhou is still young. He can manage during the day without you, but he might cry at night without seeing Daddy.”

The little one was too sensitive. When he was older and could understand adults’ words, things would get much better.

“If the baby cries when he can’t see me, what about you?”

Shen Yunxing looked at Mr. Fu, his thoughts clearly written on his face.

Fu Tingzhou chuckled, leaned down, and kissed the youth’s lips, resting his forehead against Shen Yunxing’s and said softly, “I’ll miss you a lot too.”

Shen Yunxing smiled with his eyes crinkled, tilting his head to give Mr. Fu a peck.

“Mm—”

Fu Tingzhou lowered his head, holding the back of the youth’s head, deepening the kiss.

……

The next day, Fu Tingzhou had to go to the company.

After breakfast, Shen Yunxing was feeding Zhou Zhou while waving goodbye to Mr. Fu.

“Gege, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the baby.”

“Okay.” Fu Tingzhou kissed the youth. “Call me if you need help.”

“Got it.”

The little one was very good. After being fed and changed into a clean diaper by Daddy, he quickly fell asleep with his pacifier.

After gently placing the baby in the stroller, Shen Yunxing felt a bit idle and took out his phone to check Weibo.

It had been a few days since he last visited the [Yun Ting] super topic and wasn’t sure if Cola Teacher and Bu Dao Da Da had posted any new content.

He first checked the super topic’s follower count. Seeing the numbers, he reflexively exited and re-entered the page, his eyes widening in shock when he saw the numbers hadn’t changed.

“Only a few days, and the CP fans have increased to 600,000!”

After scrolling through the super topic for a while, he went to Cola Teacher’s Weibo.

Though it had been a few days, Cola Teacher’s posts were still quite explicit. Blushing, he read through three posts of wild/war play, then drank two big glasses of water to calm down.

He took a deep breath and then went to Bu Dao Da Da’s Weibo.

It seemed Bu Dao Da Da had been very busy lately. Since his last visit, he had only posted one update.

However, this update led to a surge in CP super topic followers and also stirred some dissatisfaction among certain netizens.

The background of the drawing was the Lin’an arena, featuring two boys. The shorter one was holding a bouquet of flowers, with a shy yet sweet smile on his face.

The taller one was gently patting the shorter one’s head, his expression as tender as his actions, making hearts flutter.

It was a drawing of him and Mr. Fu. Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but smile.
