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

“What should we do then? Since the baby doesn’t like it, I guess he’ll have to sleep in just his little birthday suit,” Shen Yunxing sighed. “I wonder if Junjun likes babies who sleep naked.”

 

Junjun is the child of Su Yin and Qin Jingchen, one and a half years old, and very adorable. Zhouzhou especially likes him; whenever they meet, Zhouzhou hugs and kisses him for a long time. When they can’t meet, Zhouzhou pesters both dads to video call with Junjun.

 

Indeed, as soon as the little guy heard Junjun’s name, his little face immediately turned around.

 

“Zhouzhou will wear it,” the little guy said with a frown, unwillingly.

 

Shen Yunxing didn’t want his son to go to sleep with bad feelings, so he coaxed, “Since you’re being so good, tomorrow Daddy will call Junjun and let you video chat, okay?”

 

“Okay!” The little guy instantly brightened up, eagerly stretching out his hands and lifting his legs, showing his cooperation.

 

“Daddy, when will you call Auntie tomorrow?” After changing clothes, the little guy snuggled up to Daddy’s arm.

 

“After Zhouzhou wakes up,” Fu Tingzhou said, tapping his son’s little nose and speaking gently.

 

“Good～ Zhouzhou will go to sleep now!” The little guy climbed up to give both dads a kiss, then lay back in the middle, cheerfully saying, “Daddy, Papa, good night～”

 

“Good night.” Shen Yunxing kissed his son’s cheek.

 

Fu Tingzhou leaned in and kissed each of their foreheads.

 

“Good night, sweetheart.”

 

Shen Yunxing smiled, reaching out to clasp Fu Tingzhou’s right hand, which was resting on their son, their fingers tightly interlocked.

 

……

 

The next morning, Shen Yunxing left while Zhouzhou was still asleep. He kissed his son’s cheek and, with his suitcase in hand, reluctantly was sent to the airport by Fu Tingzhou.

 

“Take care of yourself on set,” Fu Tingzhou said, helping the young man with his luggage.

 

“Alright, goodbye, Gege.” Shen Yunxing hugged the man and then dragged his suitcase onto the plane.

 

As soon as he found his seat, Su Yin’s call came in. This was their third collaboration. Shen Yunxing was the male lead, and Su Yin played his girlfriend in a drama about a romance and mystery involving an older woman and a younger man.

 

When the call was answered, Su Yin’s voice came through with a smile, “Boyfriend, your little assistant has arrived. Where are you?”

 

Shen Yunxing played along, “Girlfriend, I’ll be there in two hours.”

 

“Alright, boyfriend.” Su Yin laughed louder after she finished speaking.

 

“Sister Su, watch your image,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile.

 

Su Yin sighed, “What image? I’m already a mother.”

 

“Even so, you should still be the most beautiful mother.”

 

“You’re right. I’ll wear the sexiest dress for the opening ceremony this afternoon and be the hottest woman on set!”

 

Hearing this, Shen Yunxing couldn’t help but laugh.

 

The announcement for the plane’s imminent departure came over the intercom, and the flight attendants reminded everyone to turn off their phones. Shen Yunxing said goodbye to Su Yin and ended the call.

 

Soon after, he gripped the armrests, waiting for the sensation of weightlessness to pass, then opened the movie Fu Tingzhou had downloaded for him and began watching comfortably.

 

At ten o’clock, the plane landed on time.

 

As he dragged his suitcase off the plane, he saw Meng Lele waiting outside.

 

“Lele Jie.”

 

“You’re finally here. Hand over your luggage,” Meng Lele said.

 

“No need, I can handle it myself.”

 

Meng Lele didn’t insist further.

 

Having followed Shen Yunxing for over two years, she had seen the nineteen-year-old youth grow into his current position—from a rookie to a top actor. He had matured and begun to understand social niceties, but his original intentions had never changed.

 

Half an hour later, Shen Yunxing dropped off his luggage at the hotel, then drove to the filming location.

 

Today was the opening ceremony, the time when the entire crew was present. The director wanted to take this opportunity to help everyone get to know each other better.

 

“If you don’t want to go, don’t. They’re using you to boost the new actors’ popularity. Director Jiang’s plan is really something,” Meng Lele glanced at the rearview mirror. “Besides, Director Zheng was the one who chose you for ‘In the Human World,’ and he didn’t put much effort into it. It seems a bit excessive to use you as a stepping stone for newcomers.”

 

After she finished speaking, Shen Yunxing replied, “The script was recommended to me by Director Zheng.”

 

“Director Zheng?” Meng Lele was surprised. “Why would he do that?”

 

“Director Zheng said he owed Director Jiang a favor, so he helped Jiang by bringing the script to me. Director Zheng has been kind to me, so even if this drama were the worst of the worst, I would still have to take it,” Shen Yunxing smiled. “But I’m quite lucky. The drama isn’t too bad, and the female lead is Sister Su. With the two of us working together, even a bad script can become a hit.”

 

Meng Lele agreed wholeheartedly, thinking of Su Yin’s and her own artist’s skills.

 

Ten minutes later, the van slowly stopped in front of the set.

 

“Oh, our big star has finally arrived,” Director Jiang greeted, accompanied by a girl with a delicate appearance. “Cen Cen, quickly say hello to your Brother Shen.”

 

The young girl, looking only about sixteen or seventeen and dressed in a white dress, appeared particularly pure and beautiful.

 

“Hello, Brother Shen,” Cen Cen said softly as she approached Shen Yunxing.

 

Shen Yunxing nodded, not very warm in his response. “Hello.”

 

Seeing that he didn’t seem to like her, the young girl lowered her head and dared not speak further.

 

At this moment, Su Yin, dressed in a bright red long dress, walked over to him.

 

“Boyfriend, it’s been a while,” she said, reaching out to hug him.

 

Shen Yunxing smiled and took the initiative to hug her.

 

“You’ve become even more handsome after a few days,” Su Yin said, pinching his cheek.

 

“Sister, please show me some respect in public,” Shen Yunxing said, his tone slightly ambiguous.

 

Su Yin laughed in response.

 

Director Jiang and a few actors who had previously worked with Shen Yunxing knew about their good relationship and didn’t think much of it, but some people took note of it.

After the opening ceremony in the afternoon, everyone returned to the hotel to rest.

“Did my godson cause any trouble while you were out filming?” Su Yin approached Shen Yunxing and asked quietly.

Shen Yunxing sighed, “Don’t mention it. When I got up this morning, he was clutching the hem of my clothes and wouldn’t let go. In the end, I had no choice but to cut the clothes with scissors to escape.”

“My godson is so good. Unlike my own little rascal, when I said I was going to film, he ran upstairs to drag my suitcase out and kept asking when I was leaving and if I wasn’t going yet. He even said if I didn’t leave soon, it would be lunchtime,” Su Yin said with irritation. “And it didn’t stop there. He kept pulling at my clothes, asking when I was going, when I was going, and if I didn’t go, he’d have lunch.”

“So you changed the flight to this morning to come early out of anger?” Shen Yunxing asked with a smile.

Su Yin nodded, “This little rascal is so naughty. At least my godson knows how to be considerate.”

While they were chatting happily, they didn’t notice a white figure passing by the corner of the hotel.

At 9:30 p.m., Shen Yunxing had just finished his shower when a video call from Fu Tingzhou came through.

“Daddy~” Zhouzhou’s face was hidden under the covers, only his bright, sparkling eyes visible.

“Baby? Where’s Daddy?” Shen Yunxing asked, feeling helpless.

Just a while ago, around 7:30 p.m., Fu Tingzhou had sent him a photo of the little guy sleeping with a “Daddy” doll. Less than half an hour later, the little guy had woken up and used Fu Tingzhou’s phone to video call him.

“Daddy’s in the study~” the little guy said in a hushed voice. “Daddy, I miss you so much. Are you coming back tomorrow?”

The little guy has a poor sense of time; to him, two months feels like two days. Every time Shen Yunxing is away for work, Zhouzhou thinks he’s only gone for a day or two and calls every night to ask if he’ll be back the next day.

Hearing his son’s soft, milk-sweet voice made Shen Yunxing’s nose a bit sore.

“Be good, baby. Tomorrow Daddy will let you video chat with Junjun, okay?” He tried to change the subject.

The little guy frowned, pulling at the hair on the doll’s head and said, “Okay, but Daddy, you have to come back quickly.”

“Mm, Daddy promises to finish work as soon as possible and come back to be with you.”

The little guy nodded, climbed out of the covers, and gave a kiss on the phone.

“Daddy, will you watch me sleep?” he blinked his watery eyes at the screen, looking pitifully at the unreachable Daddy.

Seeing his son like this, Shen Yunxing couldn’t bear to refuse and quickly said, “Okay, Daddy will watch you. Go to sleep.”

The little guy was delighted, set the phone up at the head of the bed, and then happily burrowed back into his blanket.

“Daddy, good night~”

“Good night, baby.”

Ten minutes later, Fu Tingzhou, who was working in the study, realized he had forgotten his phone and returned to the bedroom to get it.

When he opened the door, he saw the phone propped up at the head of the bed, facing the bed. 

He paused and walked closer. On the screen, the young man in a simple, clean pajama was smiling and greeting him.

“Hi,” Shen Yunxing waved and said with a helpless expression, “Gege, your son is too smart.”

Fu Tingzhou chuckled and, after covering the little guy who was sleeping soundly, picked up the phone.

“Are we starting shooting tomorrow?” he asked.

Shen Yunxing nodded, his gaze involuntarily drifting to Fu Tingzhou’s open pajama collar. “Yes.”

Fu Tingzhou’s fingers tightened around the phone, then he subtly undid another button on his pajama.

“The room is a bit warm. I’m going to get some fresh air on the balcony.”

Shen Yunxing’s mind was gradually distracted by the sight of Fu Tingzhou’s exposed chest.

“Baby?” Seeing him lost in thought, Fu Tingzhou called.

“Huh? Getting some fresh air, right? Okay,” Shen Yunxing said, his face flushed.

Fu Tingzhou smirked, looking up at the moon and said, “The moon is very round tonight.”

A thousand miles away, Shen Yunxing also looked out the window and said, “It’s probably because Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.”

“Baby, there’s still a month until the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Fu Tingzhou chuckled.

“Ah…” Shen Yunxing blinked, his cheeks turning even redder.

After chatting a bit more, the video call ended. Shen Yunxing then received a message from Su Yin on WeChat.

【Sister Su】: Someone is spreading rumors on Weibo that we’re having an affair [excitedly spinning around]

A year ago, Su Yin had officially announced her relationship with Qin Jingchen, which had caused quite a stir on Weibo. Though Shen Yunxing and Fu Tingzhou had not made their relationship public, it was almost common knowledge on the internet that they were involved, so the rumor about Shen Yunxing and Su Yin was clearly started by a newcomer.

He replied to Su Yin with a crying-laughing emoji.

Then he logged into Weibo and tagged the person spreading the rumor, replying: The news is outdated. Sister Su and I are both in relationships.

The internet exploded.

【Ahhhh! In relationships! Is Emperor Shen planning to go public now?! [excited]】

【Finally, after two and a half years, I’ve waited for this day! [covering mouth and crying]】

【Xingzai, hurry up and give our Fu a title. Seeing Fu commenting and liking your Weibo every day, it’s a bit pitiful [hahaha]】

【Remove the ‘hahaha’ at the end, and I’ll believe you’re really feeling sorry for Fu [picking nose]】

【Daily Question: Xingzai, are you going public today?】

Shen Yunxing clicked on it and replied: [Shh]

The netizens responded: Oh, not going public [shrugging]
