Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 87

In the dim light, Shen Yunxing and the man were lying face to face with their fingers intertwined, sharing the bed. A little bundle fast asleep was nestled between them.

“Gege, you didn’t even let me know you were coming,” Shen Yunxing leaned in to kiss the corner of Fu Tingzhou’s mouth, smiling with his eyes.

“I wanted to give you a surprise.” Fu Tingzhou gently rubbed the bruise on the boy’s jawline and asked, frowning, “Does it hurt?”

Shen Yunxing shook his head and pressed Fu Tingzhou’s hand into his embrace. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Fu Tingzhou paused and asked, “What about the rest of your body?”

“Gege, you already know,” Shen Yunxing said, feeling guilty and cursing Meng Lele as a traitor in his heart.

Fu Tingzhou’s gaze carried a hint of inquiry and danger. Unable to withstand the scrutiny, Shen Yunxing started to act coquettishly, kissing the man’s palm.

“Gege, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. You know, injuries are inevitable while filming,” he said, lowering his head to plant another kiss. “Besides, Director Zheng and Teacher Jiang have taken good care of me. The stick they used is a prop, and Teacher Jiang was careful when hitting me.”

After Shen Yunxing finished speaking, Fu Tingzhou got up and rolled up the boy’s pants to inspect the injuries on his legs.

Shen Yunxing hesitated for a moment but then extended his leg willingly.

The boy’s pale legs were marked with several intersecting bruises that looked quite severe, making Fu Tingzhou’s eyes ache.

He took out the ointment he carried with him and applied it gently to the boy’s injuries.

Fu Tingzhou’s lowered gaze was a bit intimidating, and Shen Yunxing swallowed nervously, speaking softly, “It looks worse than it is. They’re just superficial injuries and will heal in a few days.”

Seeing that Fu Tingzhou remained unresponsive, Shen Yunxing tugged at the man’s sleeve, saying plaintively, “Gege, won’t you talk to me?”

Fu Tingzhou’s hand paused in applying the ointment, then he wiped his hands clean and pulled Shen Yunxing into his arms.

“Gege, are you not angry anymore?” Shen Yunxing looked up and kissed the man’s chin.

Fu Tingzhou kissed the boy’s forehead and said gently, “I’m not angry.”

He was just having difficulty accepting that the person he cared for deeply had been hurt like this.

He respected Shen Yunxing’s choices and acknowledged his efforts. He hoped Shen Yunxing would achieve the person he wanted to become through his hard work. While he felt proud and honored, he was also deeply pained and helpless.

Because he knew that the path Shen Yunxing had to walk was far from over.

Shen Yunxing rested his head on Fu Tingzhou’s shoulder, quietly enjoying the embrace.

“Gege, Zhuozhuo is awake,” he said with a blush after a few minutes.

The little one had actually been awake for a while, staring at the two dads playing affectionate games without crying or making a fuss.

Initially, Shen Yunxing had not planned to address it. He had finally managed to calm Fu Tingzhou down and didn’t want to push him away now, fearing Fu Tingzhou might feel hurt.

But as Fu Tingzhou’s kisses moved from the top of his head to his forehead, then to his nose and finally to the corners of his mouth, with a subtle tendency to deepen, Shen Yunxing couldn’t stand the curious, innocent gaze of their son anymore.

“Watch our son for me, I’ll go make the milk,” Fu Tingzhou said, kissing Shen Yunxing’s flushed lips.

Shen Yunxing nodded.

The room was kept warm with several heaters Fu Tingzhou had arranged, so he simply reached out and lifted the little one from the bed.

“Ah~” The little Zhuozhuo, who had not seen his dad for a while, finally realized who it was. He grabbed the front of his dad’s shirt with his little hands and burrowed his head in.

“Mm, ah!” While burrowing, he mumbled baby talk that the dads couldn’t understand.

“Zhuozhuo is saying he misses daddy, right?” Shen Yunxing kissed the flushed face of his son. “Daddy misses Zhuozhuo too; I even dreamt about Zhuozhuo last night.”

“Mm?” The little one stared with bright eyes, seriously “talking” with his dad.

“Yes, daddy really misses Zhuozhuo,” Shen Yunxing kissed the little chubby hand extended to his mouth.

Zhuozhuo, whose hand was kissed by daddy, grinned and giggled, showing his bare gums.

“Gege, I’ll take care of it,” Shen Yunxing said to Fu Tingzhou, who had finished preparing the milk.

Fu Tingzhou handed the bottle to Shen Yunxing and rummaged through a nearby suitcase to pull out a small rice cooker and a bag of fresh dumplings.

The dumplings were plump with thin skins and large fillings, and the wrinkles on them indicated they were handmade by Fu Tingzhou himself.

Shen Yunxing watched as the white, plump dumplings were dropped into the pot, swallowing his saliva in envy.

“Mm!” After being fed and full, Zhuozhuo grabbed the corner of his dad’s sleeping shirt happily and nibbled on it.

When discovered by daddy, he smiled with his eyes squinting and his bare gums showing.

“Zhuozhuo, you can’t eat this,” Shen Yunxing said, taking his gaze away and picking up a sterilized pacifier from the box, offering it to the little one.

“Ah-mmm~” Zhuozhuo opened his mouth to grab it and waved his little chubby hand happily.

A moment later, Fu Tingzhou brought over the cooked dumplings.

Handing a pair of chopsticks to Shen Yunxing, Fu Tingzhou said with a smile, “Your favorite vegetarian dumplings.”

Shen Yunxing’s eyes lit up as he picked up a plump dumpling and put it in his mouth without waiting for it to cool.

“Ah~ It’s so hot,” he said, his words muffled.

“Eat slowly, no one is competing with you,” Fu Tingzhou poured a glass of water for Shen Yunxing, his smile both helpless and affectionate.

Shen Yunxing wanted to eat slowly, but after eating nothing but boxed meals for over twenty days, he missed Fu Tingzhou’s cooking terribly.

After finishing a plate of dumplings, he burped from being too full.

“The hot water is ready. Go take a bath,” Fu Tingzhou said, pinching the boy’s earlobe.

Shen Yunxing blinked, “But there’s only a shower, no bathtub.”

“I had a simple one installed before we came.”

Shen Yunxing’s eyes brightened upon hearing this.

“I’m going right now!”

He squatted down, pulling out a new towel from the suitcase, and, turning to his Fu Tingzhou at the door, said with a smile, “Gege, do you want to bathe together?”

 

After speaking, without waiting for a response from the man, Shen Yunxing shook his head and rebutted, “No, Gege still needs to watch Zhuozhuo.”

 

“Then I’ll go by myself~” He said, blushing and slipping out the door.

 

Fu Tingzhou chuckled, glancing down at their silly son, who was gnawing at his little feet. “Daddy’s becoming more and more mischievous. When we go back, let’s make sure to give him a proper lesson, okay?”

 

“Mm~” The little one didn’t understand and, seeing his father looking at his little feet, thought his father wanted to eat them too. So, he generously extended his chubby foot towards him.

 

“Silly son,” Fu Tingzhou said, both amused and helpless.

 

…

 

The next day, Shen Yunxing woke up full of energy after a good night’s sleep, having taken a bath the night before and being held snugly by Fu Tingzhou.

 

Meng Lele, who was doing his makeup, noticed the constant smile at the corner of his lips and asked curiously, “You seem in a particularly good mood. Did something happy happen?”

 

“It’s a secret,” Shen Yunxing replied with a smile.

 

No one in the crew knew that Fu Tingzhou had come. Shen Yunxing thought Fu Tingzhou didn’t want people to know, so he kept it a secret.

 

However, after the filming ended at noon, Director Zheng suddenly gathered everyone together and happily shared the news.

 

“Mr. Fu came to visit the set and brought several boxes of dumplings for everyone. Today we’re in for a treat!”

 

Everyone applauded and cheered, “Thank you, Mr. Fu! Mr. Fu is awesome!”

 

Meng Lele glanced at the suddenly appearing boss and then at Shen Yunxing, who was smiling sweetly, and finally understood.

 

No wonder Shen Yunxing’s mood was so good this morning; it turned out the boss had come last night!

 

The message from the boss to let her sleep in and not come to call her was definitely from the boss himself!

 

With the boss and the boss’s spouse personally spreading sweetness early in the morning, Meng Lele was so touched that tears of joy spilled from the corners of her eyes.

 

In the afternoon, with Mr. Fu still around, everyone worked especially hard. Even the extras’ performances visibly improved.

 

Shen Yunxing had a heavy shooting schedule that day, changing costumes and scenes, and shooting continuously for four or five hours without a break.

 

Fu Tingzhou, watching from the side, furrowed his brow.

 

“Director Zheng, is the daily filming intensity this high in the crew?” he couldn’t help but ask.

 

“Intensity high?” Director Zheng thought he was joking. “This is nothing compared to a few days ago.”

 

Fu Tingzhou’s frown deepened.

 

“Boss, this is how filming is. Sometimes, to catch a scene before sunrise, everyone has to get up early and wait. Otherwise, if the sun comes up, the scene can’t be shot,” Meng Lele came over and whispered to the boss, who was not familiar with the industry.

 

“And every actor’s schedule is different. Plus, factors like wind, rain, and leaking roofs affect the filming progress. The whole crew has to work extra hours to make up for the delays.”

 

Fu Tingzhou nodded, watching the boy, who was eating a bowl of spoiled food, with red-rimmed eyes.

 

At the same time, he was deeply drawn to this boy who was dedicated and serious about his acting from start to finish. 

 

The boy with the tousled hair, carrying a sack, smiling in the sunlight, was always the brightest star in his heart.

 

Fu Tingzhou stayed on the set for three days. When he left, Director Zheng, knowing their special relationship, gave Shen Yunxing half a day off.

 

On the way to the airport to see Mr. Fu off, Shen Yunxing was smiling the whole time. However, once Mr. Fu and the baby boarded the plane, the smile on his face instantly faded.

 

After the plane took off, he sat alone in the lobby to sort out his emotions before taking a taxi back to the set.

 

“Mr. Fu has left?” Director Zheng asked when he returned.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded.

 

Originally, he wasn’t scheduled for any scenes in the afternoon, but since there was nothing else to do in his room, he decided to stay and continue filming.

 

…

 

The next morning, as Shen Yunxing rubbed his eyes and got out of bed, Meng Lele’s voice came from outside the door.

 

“Yunxing, something big has happened!”

 

“What happened?” He opened the door to let her in, asking.

 

Meng Lele held up her phone, her tone anxious. “You and the boss were caught by paparazzi!”

 

Shen Yunxing was slightly taken aback, took the phone, and saw the Weibo post from a marketing account, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

 

【YiYi Entertainment】: Breaking News! Fu Group President visits rising star Shen Yunxing on set! The two were seen in the same car, and their behavior was intimate! [Pictures*6]

 

Comments from netizens—

 

【What’s going on? Last time it was a handshake that turned into an embrace, and this time it’s a set visit and airport send-off, even holding hands. It’s hard not to believe they’re in a real relationship!】

 

【Mr. Fu’s gaze towards our star is almost overwhelming. Come on, is he interested in our star already? [Pointing and shaking head]】

 

【Let’s just say, this marketing account is really here to blacken Shen Yunxing’s name? The photography skills are so good, it’s a pity they’re not shooting wedding photos instead [Eating melon]】

 

【Where did fans see them holding hands? Shoulder touching doesn’t mean holding hands! What kind of logic is this!】

 

【Upstairs sisters are very hard to support! Mr. Fu is the boss of Shengshi Entertainment and a film investor. It’s fine for him to visit the set, right? Shen Yunxing, as a Shengshi Entertainment artist, sending his boss off at the airport is also fine! Please, cp fans, don’t pounce on every opportunity to stir things up! Our Mr. Fu is just beautiful alone [Caviar]】

 

【With all these hot searches and marketing accounts, could it be possible, just possibly, that Mr. Fu is genuinely interested in Shen Yunxing? After all, Mr. Fu has never visited any other actor’s set, and public embraces are impossible!】

 

【Upstairs +1, Mr. Fu’s identity means he wouldn’t be forced to do this, nor would he do it for publicity. So I firmly believe they have a real relationship! [Sherlock Holmes]】

 

【You’re all guessing their relationship, but I’m shocked that Mr. Fu was carrying a safety seat! It’s for a baby who can’t use a car seat yet. My husband just bought the exact same one from abroad yesterday…】

 

【Holy shit! The cp fans weren’t lying. Mr. Fu and Shen Yunxing really have a baby?!】

 

【Hmm?? Sisters, are you crazy? They’re both men. It’s impossible for them to have a child! [Wake up!]】

 

【Um, as a doctor, I’d like to enlighten you. Male childbirth cases are more common than you think.】

 

Netizens were shocked that Mr. Fu and the same person repeatedly appeared on hot searches. Almost no one paid attention to the safety seat or the educational comment, as their decades-old worldview made them think that men having children was simply impossible.

 

But Shen Yunxing was worried, as there were still a small number of people who believed it.
