Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 82

The ten teams were formed, and the host introduced the achievements and professions of the forty participants on the big screen. Each team captain also had to make a bold statement against the other teams.

Shen Yunxing was the captain of his team. He actually wanted to stay low-key, but the show’s production team had already prepared a bold statement for him based on his achievements. To avoid breaking the contract, he had to hold the microphone and provoke the others: “I’ll only need a bow or a crossbow to beat you all.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yunxing felt as though the stares from the other thirty-six pairs of eyes could pierce through him.

“You’re quite cocky. Let’s see what you’ve got on the battlefield.”

“Shen Yunxing, huh? I know him. He acted in that web drama, which my parents and I have watched several times.”

“He’s got impressive achievements and skills. We need to be careful if we encounter him.” Zheng Jieyuan’s team had two girls who weren’t very skilled. The captain, Bai Xin, was also not very good. They could only rely on the expert, Wan Feng, but it would still be safer to play defensively.

“Arrogant,” Wan Feng said disdainfully.

“Everyone, quiet down. We’re about to start the friendly match and the team selection process!” The host said, holding the microphone.

“Three, two, one!”

As the countdown ended, the ten teams entered the game together.

“Yunxing, where should we jump?” Su Yin, who had selected the follow option, asked.

“School,” Shen Yunxing said and immediately parachuted towards the school.

After landing, he reminded, “Brother Qiao, there’s a team to your left. Be careful.”

“Got it.” Qiao Shiyu responded, rolling into the nearest building as soon as he landed.

Luck was on Shen Yunxing’s side as he picked up an AK and an M416 immediately after landing. He left the AK and gave the M416 to Qiao Shiyu, while Tian Xia and Su Yin, the two girls, focused on spotting and reporting enemy positions.

“Xingzai, someone is coming from the five o’clock direction!” Su Yin hadn’t even seen a shadow, but Tian Xia had already marked the enemy’s location.

“Someone is moving towards us from the seven o’clock direction. I’ll take a high position. Be careful, everyone,” Shen Yunxing said.

The four of them followed Shen Yunxing’s commands perfectly, their teamwork resembling that of a specially trained unit.

In the rest area, QC Glory’s captain, Chen Liang, and the captains of the other three teams watched the live stream intently.

“Wei Qiang’s team is good. I’ll take them,” said Xu Wen, the captain of CE Peace.

“I’ll take Shen Yunxing’s team!” Chen Liang said quickly.

Damn, the person he had been looking for for over half a year had joined the entertainment industry. No wonder Shen Yunxing didn’t respond to his private message offering a thirty-thousand-yuan bonus!

“Shen Yunxing? He acted in ‘Drunken in the Breeze’. Didn’t expect the guy in the wheelchair to be this good,” said Gong Ye, the captain of YW Elephant, after checking his achievements. “Wow, he’s a Gun God in both individual and team achievements. No wonder Liang is so eager to snatch him.”

Chen Liang shivered. “Sorry, but I’m straight. Being gay doesn’t help me.”

The competition continued, with ten teams competing. Eight teams were chosen, leaving only the teams of Nan Ning and Ji Feng.

To boost ratings, the show added a twist: Nan Ning and Ji Feng were the strongest aces. For the captains to draft players, their teams had to compete against each other, with the winning team earning the right to draft.

“Let’s finish watching the match. There are only four teams left,” said Qin Tian, the captain of JD Eternal.

“Liu Su’s team is eliminated! The remaining teams are Wei Qiang’s team with four kills, Qin Yashuang’s team with six kills, Shen Yunxing’s team with three kills, and Bai Xin’s team with five kills!” The host quickly reported the current standings.

“Who will achieve the final victory? Let’s wait and see!”

In the rest area.

“Which team do you think has the best chance of winning?” Xu Wen asked the other three.

“It’s hard to say. Except for the amateurs, the skill levels of the other participants vary. In Ji Feng’s team, the captain Bai Xin doesn’t even know how to assemble attachments,” Gong Ye sighed. “If they meet Nan Ning, they’ll probably lose.”

“I think Tian Xia’s team will win,” Chen Liang said, stretching.

As soon as he spoke, the match took a turn.

“Damn, Ji Feng is out!” Qin Tian said, shocked. “He got sniped with a level three helmet. He was already low on health, and when he peeked out, he got shot directly!”

“Too bad. He could’ve placed first or second,” Xu Wen said regretfully.

Three minutes later, the toxic zone refreshed.

Wei Qiang’s team was down to just Wan Feng. While running from the toxic zone, he encountered Nan Ning and Qin Yashuang and was gunned down by Nan Ning with an M416.

At this point, Shen Yunxing’s team was the only full team left.

“Yunxing, Qin Yashuang is peeking,” Su Yin quickly marked her position.

“Got it.” From his vantage point on the second floor, Shen Yunxing saw not only Qin Yashuang but also Nan Ning hiding behind a bathroom wall.

“Brother Qiao, you handle Qin Yashuang. I’ll snipe Nan Ning.”

Hearing this, the captains in the rest area laughed.

“Sniping Nan Ning? That’s pretty bold,” Xu Wen said.

“Yeah, still too young,” Qin Tian commented.

“Bold, I like it,” Gong Ye added.

Chen Liang also smiled, but his smile was different from the others.

“Is Nan Ning really that great? I don’t think so,” he said, laughing.

……

“Yunxing, the toxic zone is coming. Let’s move,” Su Yin said.

“You go ahead. I’ll stay here,” Shen Yunxing said, keeping his eyes fixed on Nan Ning’s position.

“Sister Su, you and Brother Qiao go. I’ll stay to assist the captain,” Tian Xia said, noticing Qin Yashuang’s position shifting. “Qin Yashuang is moving to the toxic zone. She’s good. Be careful not to get ambushed.”

……

“It’s the third toxic zone already. Nan Ning can’t hold out much longer, but if he peeks, he’ll get sniped by Shen Yunxing or Tian Xia,” Qin Tian shook his head. “Three consecutive toxic zones refreshed to his position. What bad luck.”

Chen Liang remained noncommittal.

He really didn’t think Nan Ning was that great. If he were truly that skilled, he wouldn’t have retired to become a game streamer back then. In recent years, Nan Ning had been praised too highly, and his mindset had changed accordingly.

Sure enough, when his health dropped by a third, Nan Ning started to lose his composure, frequently opening his backpack to check his remaining health packs. Ten seconds later, with the sound of a gunshot, the game ended.

“Game over! The Xingzhou team has won the final victory!”

“We won!” Tian Xia said excitedly. She had killed two people and didn’t let Xingzai down!

“Well done, Xiao Xia,” Su Yin praised. “The goddess of the esports world.”

“Brother Qiao, great job,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile, giving Qiao Shiyu a high five.

The draft match was in the afternoon, and they had a two-hour break at noon.

“Let’s go have lunch,” Wei Qiang said, following Wan Feng’s gaze. “Do you know Shen Yunxing?”

“Sort of,” Wan Feng said, hands in his pockets, trying hard to suppress his dissatisfaction.

“Yunxing,” Su Yin tugged on Shen Yunxing’s sleeve near the revolving door, “Nan Ning is coming over.”

Shen Yunxing stopped and looked over.

Nan Ning said, “Well played, keep it up,” and then turned and walked away before Shen Yunxing could respond.

“He just left? How rude,” Su Yin frowned.

“Let’s go too,” Shen Yunxing said indifferently. He was thinking about Mr. Fu and Zhou Zhou and wasn’t in the mood to care about Nan Ning’s indifference and provocation.

The show’s production team had prepared a sumptuous lunch and a resting place for the guests.

After lunch, Shen Yunxing returned to the lounge and eagerly made a video call to Mr. Fu.

In the president’s office of Fu Group, Fu Tingzhou was feeding the little one who had woken up hungry. Seeing the incoming call, he smiled.

“Zhou Zhou, daddy is calling.”

Zhou Zhou: “Ton ton ton—”

Our hungry baby Zhou Zhou temporarily forgot about having a daddy.

“Gege, I finished shooting this morning,” Shen Yunxing said as the call connected, smiling contentedly at Mr. Fu on the screen and the little one drinking milk obediently.

“Did you meet your idol, the sniper god Gong Ye?” Fu Tingzhou asked with a smile.

“Yes, and I even got his autograph. But he didn’t choose me. Captain Liang of the QC team picked me,” Shen Yunxing said, a bit disappointed.

“Are you upset?”

Shen Yunxing shook his head. “Just a little regretful. I really wanted to visit the YW base to see how the sniper god trains.”

“Oh, and Gege, I won first place in the friendly match!”

The boy’s eyes sparkled, practically begging for praise.

Seeing this, the smile in Fu Tingzhou’s eyes deepened.

“Baby, you did great,” he praised.

Shen Yunxing blushed at the compliment, rubbing his nose and shifting his gaze to the little one in Mr. Fu’s arms.

“Zhou Zhou, do you miss daddy?”

“Ah!” The little one, full and satisfied, stretched out his small hands as if trying to grab something, tiring himself out.

“Pfft—” Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but laugh at his son’s cute antics. “Silly Zhou Zhou, daddy is on the phone, you can’t grab him.”

“Wah—” Baby Zhou Zhou, hearing the familiar voice, started looking around with big, curious eyes.

“Stop teasing him, or he’ll cry when he can’t find you,” Fu Tingzhou said helplessly.

“Okay.”

“Get some rest. I’ll pick you up after evening training.”

“Alright,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile.

Secretary Yang set out lunch on the table and, seeing her boss video calling his wife, couldn’t help but wonder. She couldn’t understand why the boss had brought the baby to the office. No one else at the company knew the boss’s wife could give birth. Seeing the boss carrying a child to work this morning, everyone had almost gone crazy. The wives’ chat group had over 99 messages in just one morning, and it hadn’t stopped buzzing. She didn’t dare wander outside for long, afraid of being cornered and questioned. If she accidentally let something slip, she could kiss her year-end bonus goodbye.

“Buzz—”

“Buzz—”

The group members were @ing her like crazy again.

Fu Tingzhou glanced at Secretary Yang. “There’s nothing more here, you can go back to work.”

Secretary Yang’s hands trembled slightly as she pretended to organize documents.

“Boss, would you like a cup of coffee? I can make one for you.”

No, if she went out, she would definitely be interrogated.

Fu Tingzhou waved her off.

Seeing this, Secretary Yang sighed silently.

“Alright, boss. Call me if you need anything.” She said, stepping out of the office as if heading to her doom.

“Old Yang, what’s going on? When did President Fu have a child?” Secretary Xu, who had been waiting by the door, immediately pulled her over.

“Secretary Yang, is the child President Fu’s? Yesterday, he and his wife were sweet as honey, but today he brings an illegitimate child to the office?”

“Did President Fu have the child with another woman?! I feel like I’ll never believe in love again!”

“It’s not an illegitimate child, don’t jump to conclusions,” Secretary Yang said, bracing herself to defend her boss. “The child belongs to a friend of the boss.”

“Is it the Tang always coming to see President Fu?” someone asked.

“Uh, I guess.” Secretary Yang replied vaguely.

Sorry, Mr. Tang. Since you haven’t been around lately, you’ll be our boss’s scapegoat for now.

Secretary Yang prayed silently that Tang Che wouldn’t show up at the company for the next few months.

“So that’s how it is. I knew it. Our boss and his wife are so close, it’s impossible he has something going on with another woman. So, the child isn’t President Fu’s.”

“The child is President Fu’s,” Secretary Yang instinctively replied. Seeing everyone’s puzzled looks, she quickly added, “I mean, a godfather is also a dad. Otherwise, why would our boss be helping to take care of him for a while?”

Everyone nodded in agreement. “Makes sense.”

With the situation “cleared up,” everyone dispersed and went back to their own tasks. Secretary Yang patted her chest in relief.

…

At the filming site of the “Ultimate Sniper King” celebrity match, the two-hour break ended, and the intense and thrilling draft phase began.

Nan Ning and Jifeng’s teams didn’t have to participate in the match. After half an hour of fierce competition among the other eight teams, only Shen Yunxing, Liu Su, and Wei Qiang’s teams remained, none of which were full squads.

“What should we do? It’s all my fault for making a mistake. Otherwise, Brother Qiao wouldn’t have died.” Tian Xia’s eyes were red with guilt as she watched Xingzai being surrounded and isolated by two teams on the field.

“Trust Yunxing. He can handle it,” said Qiao Shiyu, who rarely spoke, trying to comfort her. “Wan Feng and Wu Hen can’t out-snipe him.”

Although these two weren’t as skilled as Shen Yunxing, it was still difficult to fight against five people at once.

With the third poison circle refresh, Shen Yunxing knew he couldn’t drag it out any longer, so he chose to take the initiative. He drove towards Liu Su’s team, and after his car was hit three times, he found a safe spot to jump out. Quickly aiming and sniping, he managed to kill Wu Hen and Liu Su while being nearly out of health from the fall. At the same time, Wan Feng shot him down with an AWM.

Host: “The match is over! Congratulations to Team Liang and Team Wen for winning the draft rights!”

In the lounge—

“Wow, this Shen Yunxing is amazing! His awareness and movement are top-notch. It would be a waste if he didn’t go pro!” Qin Tian said regretfully.

Gong Ye: “He is indeed strong, but I’m more curious about who Team Wen will pick.”

“Of course, they’ll pick Nan Ning,” Qin Tian said matter-of-factly. “He was the captain of the Yu Huang team in 2020. Even though he’s been retired for two years, his awareness and skills are unparalleled, even among geniuses. Right, Captain Wen?”

Xu Wen smiled and pressed the red button representing Nan Ning’s team.

“Then I’ll pick Bai Xin’s team,” Chen Liang also smiled, since Jifeng was who he wanted from the start.

Nan Ning was good, but he thought Jifeng had a great mentality, making him more suited for the stage. If he had to compare their skills, well, sorry, he wouldn’t choose anyone else. Because to him, the guy with the taunting skill was the best.

After the match, the ten teams boarded their respective buses and headed to the team base. On the bus, Shen Yunxing was holding his phone, reporting the filming progress to Mr. Fu.

【Xingzhou is a Good Baby】: Gege, we’re on our way to the base.

【mon amour】: Okay [photo]

Mr. Fu had sent a picture of baby Zhou Zhou drinking milk. The little one looked so well-behaved with his big, round eyes that Shen Yunxing’s heart melted.

“Is that your son?” someone suddenly asked beside him.

Shen Yunxing frowned and turned off the screen, looking displeased at Chen Liang, who had moved closer without him noticing.

“Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean to peek at your phone,” Chen Liang raised his hands. “I came over to ask you something and accidentally glanced at it. Really, I didn’t even see what your son looks like.”

The person sitting in the front turned around at the commotion.

Not wanting to make a scene, Shen Yunxing decided to let it go.

“What does Captain Liang want to ask me?”

Chen Liang: “It’s like this, you’re really good. I want to invite you to join my team and compete.”

Shen Yunxing declined, “No.”

Chen Liang was taken aback. “Don’t be so quick to refuse. Think it over. I see you enjoy competing. You took the friendly match so seriously, you have the spirit of a professional player!”

“No.”

“Why not? Your skills are so good, it would be a waste not to compete.”

Shen Yunxing glanced at him. “Because I have to take care of my son.”

“Don’t joke around. You’re too young to have a son,” Chen Liang laughed. “That must be your nephew.”

Shen Yunxing looked at him with a face that clearly said, “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Chen Liang, who was about to raise his offer to 50,000: “…”

After spending over half a year looking for a god-tier sniper, it turned out he was a professional stay-at-home dad. Who could understand this feeling?
