Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 88

Five minutes later, when Fu Tingzhou came down from upstairs carrying Zhouzhou, Shen Yunxing was already ready.

 

“Daddy hug~” The little guy immediately reached out his chubby little arms when he saw his dad.

 

Shen Yunxing took their son from Fu Tingzhou’s arms, kissed his red, tear-streaked face, and asked, “Why was the baby crying just now?”

 

The little guy hugged his dad’s neck, pressed his chubby cheek against his dad’s, and pouted unhappily. “Because Daddy and Papa weren’t with Zhouzhou.”

 

Shen Yunxing stroked his son’s disheveled hair and asked gently, “Do you remember what Daddy told you before? If you wake up in the morning or after a nap and you don’t see Daddy and Papa, what should you do?”

 

Zhouzhou furrowed his little brows, thought for a moment, but couldn’t remember. Afraid of being scolded by Daddy, he buried his head in his dad’s arms, cuddling.

 

“Daddy, Zhouzhou forgot…”

 

“It’s okay, Daddy’s not mad at the baby. I’ll tell you again.” Shen Yunxing kissed his son’s head and patiently explained, “When you wake up, don’t cry. If you don’t see us in the room, just call for Daddy and Papa. We won’t go far. As long as we hear you, we’ll come to you.”

 

The little guy looked up at both his dads, then took one dad’s finger and gave it a few kisses with his pouting lips.

 

“Zhouzhou understands now. I won’t cry anymore~”

 

“Good boy.” Their son was so well-behaved that Fu Tingzhou couldn’t help but ruffle the little guy’s head.

 

Receiving praise, Zhouzhou’s face lit up with a happy smile.

 

In the afternoon, the family of three drove to Shen’s parents’ home in the Seine-et-Marne department.

 

“Daddy, are you going on a business trip again?” Zhouzhou clung tightly to his dad’s neck, his big eyes filling with tears.

 

Every time Shen Yunxing went on a shoot, he would take Zhouzhou to his parents’ house for a night. Zhouzhou would get close to the grandparents, and with their help in comforting him, the little guy quickly adapted to his dads working.

 

But after a few times, it didn’t work as well.

 

Seeing his son with teardrops on his lashes and a pouting face, Shen Yunxing leaned down and kissed his son’s eyelids, feeling heartache.

 

“Zhouzhou, don’t cry. Daddy is only going away for two months this time and will be back soon.” He wiped away his son’s tears and softly coaxed, “Zhouzhou, look, our family of three is eating, and in the future, we’ll also need to support Grandpa and Grandma. It’s too hard for Papa to earn all the money by himself. So Daddy needs to act in films to earn milk money for Zhouzhou and help Papa.”

 

“Wuu—” 

 

The little guy hiccuped from crying, counted on his fingers, but at his age, he could only count up to four. However, he knew that three plus Grandpa and Grandma meant many people!

 

So, holding onto his dad’s finger and blinking his watery eyes anxiously, he asked, “Daddy, if we have to support so many people, is our family very poor?”

 

“Uh, well…” Shen Yunxing glanced at Fu Tingzhou, who was concentrating on driving, and turned back, bracing himself to say, “Yes, our family is relatively poor, so Daddy and Papa have to work hard to earn money for the family.”

 

Zhouzhou nodded seriously.

 

“Daddy, you go! When you’re not at home, I’ll help take care of Papa, Grandpa, Grandma, and everyone.” The little guy patted his chest proudly.

 

Shen Yunxing smiled upon hearing this. “What a good boy.”

 

He thought his son was young yet understood the difficulty of earning money. Later, he realized that Zhouzhou had heard that moving bricks was hard work and didn’t want to do it in the future, so he hoped his dads would earn more to inherit the family property when they were gone.

 

Knowing the truth, Shen Yunxing: What a good son (smiling).

 

Of course, this was just an afterthought. Right now, Shen Yunxing was still immersed in the illusion of being heart-warmed and enjoying the affectionate family scene.

 

Ten minutes later, Zhouzhou, holding Daddy’s left hand and Papa’s right hand, knocked on Grandpa and Grandma’s door.

 

“Ah, who’s here?” Shen’s mother opened the door and saw her eldest grandson standing outside. Her eyes crinkled into a smile.

 

The little guy looked up with a grin and said, “Grandma, it’s Zhouzhou~”

 

“Oh, it’s Grandma’s precious big grandson Zhouzhou! Come here and let Grandma give you a hug.” Shen’s mother reached out with a smile and picked up the little guy. “Come in. Your dad is cooking. You two should wash your hands first; dinner will be ready soon.”

 

Once inside, Shen Yunxing looked upstairs and asked, “Mom, is my brother not back yet?”

 

“Not yet. He said he’s too busy with school and might not even come back for the summer vacation,” Shen’s mother said, holding a piece of candy and teasing her grandson.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded and then whispered to Fu Tingzhou.

 

“Bro, do you think my brother is really busy or just pretending?” After washing his hands, he leaned against the door frame and spoke to himself. “I think he’s pretending to be busy, probably wanting to spend more time with his wife.”

 

Fu Tingzhou wiped his hands clean and leaned in to kiss the young man on the lips.

 

“Maybe.”

 

Shen Yunxing was startled, quickly turning his head towards the living room. Seeing that Shen’s mother wasn’t paying attention, he turned back and scolded his Fu Tingzhou.

 

“What are you doing? It’s not good for Mom and Dad to see this.” Although he said this, his cheeks showed two adorable dimples.

 

“Grandma, Daddy and Papa are playing kisses again.” In the living room, Zhouzhou said softly, hugging his grandmother’s neck.

 

Shen’s mother glanced at the bathroom and couldn’t help but ask her grandson, “Zhouzhou, do your two dads do this at home too?”

 

The little guy nodded, his baby voice full of pride. “Mm-hmm, they often sneak kisses behind Zhouzhou’s back. But Zhouzhou knows, Zhouzhou is very smart~”

 

Shen’s mother patted her grandson’s head.

 

Although it wasn’t ideal for the couple to behave like this in front of the child, she felt very pleased with their good relationship.

 

“Dinner’s ready.” Shen’s father came out from the kitchen with a dish and called to his grandson, “Zhouzhou, come sit with Grandpa. Grandpa made your favorite big shrimp today.”

 

“Okay~” Seeing food, the little guy eagerly left Grandma’s side and ran into Grandpa’s arms.

 

Shen’s mother laughed. “Just like your dad, always a little glutton.”

 

“Oh dear, our Zhouzhou has gained weight again. If he keeps growing, Grandpa won’t be able to carry him.” Shen’s father joked with the little guy.

 

Zhouzhou made an effort to suck in his little tummy and said seriously, “Zhouzhou is not fat. Zhouzhou is skinny. Look, Grandpa, Zhouzhou’s tummy is flat!”

 

Four people burst into laughter at the little guy’s babyish remarks.

 

After lunch, Shen’s father took his eldest grandson out for a walk, while Fu Tingzhou had to return to the office due to an urgent matter.

 

Shen Yunxing stayed home to help Shen’s mother sort out clothes.

 

“Where are you going this time, and for how long?” Shen’s mother asked while folding clothes.

 

Shen Yunxing handed her a pile of clothes and replied, “Su City, probably a little over two months.”

 

“Hmm, don’t worry about Zhouzhou. Your dad and I are on summer vacation, so we can help keep an eye on Xiao Fu.”

 

Shen Yunxing smiled, “Then thank you, Mrs. Shen.”

 

“It’s no trouble. Zhouzhou is much better-behaved than most kids. After meals, he even helps wash the dishes.”

 

“Yeah, there were five bowls in total, and he broke four and a half of them.”

 

Shen’s mother: “……”

 

Shen’s mother gave her son a stern look. “Go watch TV or something. Don’t just hang around me all the time.”

 

“Fine, I won’t mention your precious grandson again.”

 

“Growing up only makes you more annoying. When you were little, you were so well-behaved, always calling people ‘Uncle’ or ‘Auntie’ in a sweet voice and never arguing with me,” Shen’s mother said to her younger son.

 

“Mrs. Shen, your favoritism is too obvious. To show you the true nature of your eldest grandson, I think I need to remind you of those potted plants on the balcony that your eldest grandson pulled out by the roots.”

 

Shen’s mother: “……”

 

“Go out. Seeing you just makes me mad.” Shen’s mother pushed her son to the door, and once it was closed, the house felt much quieter.

 

“I’m going to find Dad and Zhouzhou now,” Shen Yunxing said while knocking on the door. “Your eldest grandson should be taking a nap.”

 

Mrs. Shen wasn’t angry; he could see the undisguised smile on her lips.

 

Meanwhile, Shen’s father was proudly showing off his eldest grandson in the neighborhood.

 

“Old Shen, your son brought his grandson to see you again.”

 

“Yeah, he insisted on coming, and every time he brings a bunch of supplements. I checked, and they’re all expensive imports,” Shen’s father said, holding his precious grandson with one hand while keeping the other hand behind his back, his face full of pride and satisfaction.

 

“Hahaha, Yunxing has always been understanding since he was young.”

 

“Yes, Daddy is the most understanding, and Zhouzhou is also very understanding.” Hearing praise for his dad, the little guy tugged at his grandfather and stood on tiptoe to join the conversation.

 

“Oh, hahaha, Old Shen, your eldest grandson is so entertaining!”

 

Having achieved his goal of showing off his grandson, Shen’s father was satisfied.

 

“Grandpa, Zhouzhou is sleepy and wants to nap.” The little guy tugged at his grandfather’s clothes, speaking in his babyish voice.

 

“Alright, Grandpa will take you home to sleep.” Shen’s father picked up his grandson and turned to his old friend, saying, “Old Liu, I’m taking my grandson home now.”

 

“Okay, come out and play mahjong when you have time.”

 

“Sure.”

 

“Dad?” Shen Yunxing, who had just come downstairs, ran into his father and grandson returning home.

 

Seeing his son still in the same position on Shen’s father’s shoulder and finding him asleep with his eyes closed, Shen Yunxing said, “He’s asleep.”

 

Shen’s father signaled to speak quietly. “Let me handle it.”

 

“I’ll do it,” Shen Yunxing said softly. The little guy had gained a few pounds recently and was now almost thirty pounds.

 

“No need. He’ll wake up if you take him,” Shen’s father said.

 

Seeing his father’s cautious look, Shen Yunxing laughed. “Okay, you carry him.”

 

Back at home, Shen’s father placed the little guy in the crib, turned on the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, and covered him with a thin blanket to prevent him from getting cold. The blanket had SpongeBob and Patrick on it, exactly like the one he had used when he was pregnant with Zhouzhou.

 

Shen Yunxing felt a bit embarrassed, touched his nose, and went out.

 

At six in the evening, Fu Tingzhou returned from the office. After the family of five had dinner, they sat in the living room watching cartoons with Zhouzhou.

 

“Zhouzhou, no more cartoons. It’s time for bed.” Shen Yunxing reminded his son at eight o’clock.

 

“Daddy, can I watch one more episode, just one more~” The little guy pressed his chubby face against his dad’s arm, holding up a short, chubby finger, and pouted.

 

“Alright, Grandpa will decide.” Shen’s father picked up the little guy and said.

 

But Zhouzhou knew that Daddy was the boss of the house, so he looked at his dad, waiting for his decision.

 

Shen Yunxing was amused by his son’s little antics and rubbed his soft baby hair, saying, “Just one episode. After that, you have to go upstairs and sleep.”

 

“Okay! Zhouzhou loves Daddy the most~” The little guy was thrilled and snuggled up to Shen Yunxing, giving him a face full of drool.

 

An episode of the cartoon lasted five minutes and ended quickly. After watching it, the little guy seemed a bit unsatisfied, but being a good boy, he got down from Grandpa’s arms, put on his little slippers, and went over to turn off the TV.

 

In Zhouzhou’s eyes, everyone’s bedtime was the same. Since he was going to sleep, it was time for Daddy, Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa to sleep as well.

 

So, holding one hand of each dad, Zhouzhou shook his head and said to Grandma and Grandpa, “Grandma, Grandpa, Zhouzhou is going to sleep now. Good night!”

 

“Good night, Zhouzhou.”

 

Half an hour later, the little guy, freshly bathed and wrapped in a blanket, was carried back to the bedroom by Daddy.

 

“Baby is going to sleep with Daddy and Papa~”

 

Fu Tingzhou looked at the little guy, wrapped in the blanket and wriggling towards the center of the bed, and smiled.

 

“Okay.”

 

Shen Yunxing said, “Zhouzhou, come over and put on your little pajamas before sleeping.”

 

“No, Zhouzhou wants to wear the pink one~” The little guy looked at the blue dolphin pajamas in his dad’s hand and shook his head like a rattle drum.

 

“The pink one was left at home. Can you wear this one today?” 

 

Zhouzhou pouted and turned his little face away, showing his refusal.
