Pregnant With The Pup Of A Wealthy Old Man - Chapter 89

【The opportunity to appear on a variety show with a young child is rare. Even if he can’t get away, he will make an effort to clear his schedule.】

Shen Yunxing smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll tell Zhouzhou when I get home.”

“Okay.”

Shen Yunxing was full of energy for the rest of the shoot, and his enthusiasm was contagious, making it rare for the crew to make mistakes during filming.

Finally, before the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 24th, Shen Yunxing’s scenes were wrapped up, and he could go home!

“Director Jiang, Sister Su, Brother Lu, and everyone, goodbye!” He waved goodbye with a smile and hopped into the nanny car with a light step.

Shen Yunxing didn’t tell Zhouzhou or Mr. Fu, wanting to give the father and son a surprise.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou, who was at the company playing with a tablet, lost interest in less than five minutes.

“I want to find Daddy,” he said, turning to Secretary Xu.

“Zhouzhou, be good. Mr. Fu is in a meeting right now. Let’s wait here for a little while, okay?” Secretary Xu bent down and coaxed him.

The child was so adorable, with long eyelashes, a cute little nose, and a rosy mouth, looking more like a delicate doll the more you looked at him.

The boss often brought the little prince to the company, but it was usually Secretary Yang who took care of him. Today, Secretary Yang was out on errands, so the task of looking after the little prince fell to her.

Secretary Yang had instructed her to take Zhouzhou to find the boss if he got impatient, but since the boss was in a meeting, and she knew he disliked interruptions, she had forgotten Secretary Yang’s instructions and decided to try to calm the child down herself.

She thought it was simple; a few words should be enough to soothe a child. However, things didn’t go as smoothly as she hoped.

“No, I want Daddy!” Zhouzhou frowned and said.

Secretary Xu tried to soothe him with a smile for a while, but seeing that he still stubbornly demanded to see his father, she became a bit frustrated.

“Zhouzhou, be good. Daddy is busy, and it would disturb him if you go there now,” Secretary Xu said, her expression turning serious. “Naughty children might get spanked. Do you want Daddy to spank you?”

Zhouzhou had never been spanked or even scolded by his two dads. Hearing Secretary Xu’s words, he was immediately frightened.

“Zhouzhou doesn’t want to be spanked…” The little one said with teary eyes.

Secretary Xu smiled, thinking it was just a matter of soothing the child, but she had underestimated the effect of her words.

“Don’t cry. If Zhouzhou is good, he won’t get spanked,” she said.

“Okay.” The little one nodded, sniffling. “Zhouzhou will be good.”

Then the tears began to flow.

“Oh, why are you crying? Don’t cry!” Secretary Xu panicked, not expecting her words to scare the little prince so much!

“Wuwu, Zhouzhou is being good, doesn’t want to be spanked…”

Without Daddy or familiar auntie around, the little one didn’t dare cry loudly and soon his face turned red from holding back.

Secretary Xu was extremely worried, frantically wiping away the tears with a tissue. Occasionally, she applied too much pressure, and Zhouzhou’s fair face quickly bore red marks.

“It doesn’t hurt…” Zhouzhou covered his little face and turned his head, refusing to let her wipe any more.

Seeing that she couldn’t calm him down, Secretary Xu said, “Zhouzhou, be good. Auntie will take you to find Daddy, okay?”

The little one hesitated for a moment, then turned his face back.

“Okay, Zhouzhou will go find Daddy.” He climbed off the sofa, put on his shoes, and took Secretary Xu’s finger with a smile. “Auntie, let’s go find Daddy.”

Seeing he had finally stopped crying, Secretary Xu sighed in relief. However, finding the boss was impossible as Fu Tingzhou was in a meeting with Ruifeng discussing a collaboration. If she messed things up, her job would be at risk.

She thought that Zhouzhou wouldn’t know where his dad was, so she planned to take him for a walk around the company and then bring him to the meeting room after the meeting ended.

“Alright, Auntie will take you, but Daddy’s meeting room is a bit far, so it will take a while to get there,” she coaxed.

“Zhouzhou isn’t afraid. Zhouzhou can walk a long way!” The little one said, clenching his fists.

Seeing Zhouzhou’s face still marked with red, Secretary Xu felt a bit heartbroken. But, to keep her job, she hardened her heart and continued with her plan.

“Really? Zhouzhou is so great,” she said.

Fu’s Group is large, with over thirty floors. By the time Zhouzhou and Secretary Xu had walked through one floor, Zhouzhou was already too tired to continue. His small hands clung to Secretary Xu’s arm, and he asked with a wrinkled face, “Where is Daddy? When can Zhouzhou see Daddy?”

Secretary Xu replied, “We’re almost there. Are you tired? How about we rest here for a bit?”

In reality, they had moved further away.

The exhausted little one nodded.

After seating Zhouzhou, Secretary Xu suddenly felt a stomach ache. She leaned down to Zhouzhou and said, “Zhouzhou, stay here and be good. Auntie needs to go to the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.” The little one nodded.

The bathroom was only a few meters ahead, and since they were in the company, Secretary Xu thought nothing would go wrong and went in with peace of mind. However, as soon as she turned into the bathroom, Zhouzhou saw someone who resembled his father.

“Daddy?” Zhouzhou called out to the person.

Seeing that the person didn’t respond and was about to walk away, Zhouzhou grew anxious. He slid off the small chair and ran after the person.

“Daddy, Zhouzhou is here!” He ran and shouted.

Two minutes later, when Secretary Xu came out of the bathroom, she saw an empty chair and her heart stopped for a moment.

She stood frozen, then remembered to call Secretary Yang.

Shaking, she dialed the number, her voice trembling. “Yang Jie, I lost Zhouzhou…”

Driving back in a panic, Secretary Yang nearly crashed into the car in front when she heard this.

“Have you notified the boss?”

“No,” Secretary Xu cried. “The boss is still in the meeting. I didn’t dare to disturb him.”

Secretary Yang was furious, almost choking on her anger.

“Why are you calling me? Hurry up and inform the boss! If anything happens to Zhouzhou, we’re both out of a job!”

Damn it, she had repeatedly warned not to take Zhouzhou out. If Zhouzhou wanted to find the boss, she should have taken him directly. This woman clearly didn’t take a single word to heart!

After hanging up, Secretary Yang gritted her teeth and cursed.

Meanwhile, Secretary Xu, who had been scolded, finally took action. She ran toward the meeting room while calling the boss.

When Fu Tingzhou received the call, the representative from Ruifeng was still speaking confidently. He raised his hand to signal a pause and answered the call, hearing Secretary Xu’s breathless voice saying Zhouzhou was missing. His face instantly darkened.

“I have an urgent matter. Excuse me,” he said, rising from his seat and leaving the meeting room in a hurry.

As soon as he exited the meeting room, he ran into Secretary Xu, who was rushing towards him.

Fu Tingzhou glanced at her and said coldly to Secretary Zheng, who was behind him, “Notify all departments to broadcast a search. I want the child found within ten minutes.”

“Yes, Boss.”

Secretary Xu swallowed hard as she watched Secretary Zheng leave.

“Come with me to the monitoring room,” Fu Tingzhou said in a stern voice.

Secretary Xu was startled. “Yes.”

Five minutes later, Fu Tingzhou watched the surveillance footage showing Zhouzhou chasing after an unfamiliar figure. His face darkened with anger.

“This is how you take care of a two-and-a-half-year-old child? You walked him around for over half an hour and left him alone on a chair half his height?” 

Secretary Xu trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence due to fear and nervousness.

“Boss, I…I…”

“Secretary Xu assured me that you would be competent if given the time,” Fu Tingzhou said coldly. “Now it seems you lack the ability entirely.”

He looked at the woman with her head bowed, unable to meet his gaze, and said mercilessly, “The company does not keep incompetents.”

“Boss, I realize my mistake. Please give me another chance!” Secretary Xu suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with fear.

However, Fu Tingzhou was not willing to give her another chance. Today’s incident was enough.

He glanced at the time. The ten minutes had passed, and there was still no news of Zhouzhou.

Fu Tingzhou’s expression grew even darker, and the surrounding cold air felt like it could freeze someone to death.

Secretary Xu dared not speak further. She bowed and left the monitoring room.

“Daddy!”

A childish voice suddenly came from behind. Fu Tingzhou stiffened momentarily before quickly turning around to see Zhouzhou running towards him.

Seeing that it was indeed his father, Zhouzhou let go of the man’s hand beside him and ran towards Fu Tingzhou with short, quick steps.

“Baby, where have you been?” Fu Tingzhou hugged his son tightly, touching the red marks on his face and asking in a hoarse voice.

“Zhouzhou was looking for Daddy~” The little one still didn’t realize that because of him, the company had almost been turned upside down. He hugged his father’s neck and giggled, “Zhouzhou made a mistake. It wasn’t Daddy; it was a handsome brother~”

Zhouzhou pointed to the young man standing at the door.

Fu Tingzhou looked up. The young man didn’t resemble Yunxing at all; he only had a similar build.

“Don’t run off next time. Daddy will worry if he can’t find you.” He ruffled his son’s head gently.

Hearing his father’s words, the little one shook his head.

“But Zhouzhou wanted to find Daddy!”

Fu Tingzhou said, “Next time, when Daddy has a meeting, I’ll bring you along. I won’t let you stay alone in the room anymore.”

The little one’s eyes lit up.

“Really? Daddy isn’t lying to Zhouzhou?”

“Yes, really.” Fu Tingzhou looked at his son’s innocent face, and the surrounding coldness seemed to dissipate. A faint smile appeared on his lips.

“Daddy and Zhouzhou will make a pinky promise~” The little one extended his chubby finger.

Fu Tingzhou smiled. “Okay.”

“Boss,” the young man at the door said, pulling at his pants nervously, “May I leave now…”

“Daddy, the handsome brother brought Zhouzhou back~” Zhouzhou said happily.

Fu Tingzhou patted his son’s head. “Yes, Daddy knows.”

He turned to the young man. “Thank you for taking care of Zhouzhou.”

The young man lowered his head, feeling embarrassed. “It… It was nothing.”

“Are you a new artist signed with Shengshi?” Fu Tingzhou asked.

The young man nodded. “Yes.”

“Who is your manager?”

“Chen Lin, Sister Lin.”

“Chen Lin?” Fu Tingzhou frowned. “From now on, follow Jiang Yan. I’ll have someone prepare a new contract for you shortly.”

The young man was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed in thanks.

“Daddy, why was the brother crying?” The little one asked innocently after the young man left.

“The brother was happy,” Fu Tingzhou said, carrying his son back to the office.

“Zhouzhou, are you hungry? What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“Meat!” The little one waved his chubby hands.

“How many pieces of meat? One piece?”

The little one shook his head vigorously. “Zhouzhou wants to eat lots and lots of meat!”

“Otherwise, Daddy won’t be able to carry you when he comes back.” Fu Tingzhou teased.

“No, Daddy can still carry Zhouzhou!” The little one stretched out his chubby arms and said in a milky voice, “Daddy is so big, he can carry Zhouzhou!”

Fu Tingzhou was amused by his son’s adorable expression. He pinched his son’s soft cheeks and smiled. “Little glutton.”

Zhouzhou laughed. “Daddy is a big glutton~”

Back in the office, Fu Tingzhou took out a puzzle that the young man used to play with and gave it to his son.

As Zhouzhou played, he muttered, “Meat, come quickly.”

Half an hour later, the office door was knocked. Before Fu Tingzhou could react, his son’s excited little voice called out, “Daddy!”

He couldn’t help but smile.

This little guy calls everyone Daddy.

The next moment, a familiar voice suddenly entered his ears, and Fu Tingzhou was stunned.

“Hello, your delivery has arrived,” Shen Yunxing said with a smile.
