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

During the ongoing filming, Shen Yunxing maintained a distance from the girl named Cen Cen, who was the second female lead. Although there were unavoidable instances of physical contact during shooting, he made sure to avoid any private interactions with her, even steering clear of meal times.

The young woman, with a thin skin, tried several times to find an opportunity but eventually gave up, blushing and feeling embarrassed.

Later, Shen Yunxing heard from an actor in the crew that she had been seen leaving a certain screenwriter’s room in the middle of the night. However, the screenwriter had a wife and children at home, as far as he knew. Shen Yunxing couldn’t interfere with others’ choices but felt a bit sorry for the girl, who was only seventeen and had already given up so much.

In early September, with everyone’s hard work, more than half of the filming was completed. The two-month shooting schedule was expected to wrap up by the end of September.

After a week of late-night shoots, Director Jiang gave everyone an afternoon off today. After finishing the morning’s scenes, everyone dispersed to do their own things.

Some returned to the hotel for extra sleep, others went to meet their boyfriends or girlfriends, and some, like Shen Yunxing, spent over half an hour playing face-to-face games with his son.

“Daddy, Zhouzhou misses you so much~” The little guy hadn’t seen his dad for nearly a month and was eager to be close. As soon as Shen Yunxing entered the room, Zhouzhou’s pouty lips were glued to his father’s face.

“Daddy misses our Zhouzhou too.”

Shen Yunxing was overwhelmed by his son’s wet kisses but couldn’t bear to let go, so each time the little guy kissed him, Shen Yunxing would return the affection on his son’s soft, white cheeks.

“Smack—”

“Smack—”

Fu Tingzhou, watching the endless kissing between father and son, smiled and interrupted, “Dinner’s ready. Let’s eat.”

“Daddy, Daddy misses you a lot too. You should kiss Daddy too~” The little guy tugged at Shen Yunxing’s finger with an innocent look.

Shen Yunxing laughed, “Okay.” He turned and gave Fu Tingzhou a kiss on the cheek, which made a sound.

However, the little guy shook his head in dissatisfaction.

“No, like this. It’s how you and Daddy kiss when you’re home!” Zhouzhou said, pinching his own lips.

Shen Yunxing’s ears turned red. Before he could come up with an excuse, Fu Tingzhou quickly pressed his lips to Shen Yunxing’s.

Warm and slightly cool, carrying Fu Tingzhou’s unique scent, it made Shen Yunxing blush and his heart race.

“Zhouzhou, be good and wash your hands by yourself,” Fu Tingzhou said, ruffling his son’s head.

Zhouzhou gave one last kiss to Daddy and then cheerfully said, “Okay~”

There was a small stool by the sink so the little guy could reach it on his own. Shen Yunxing watched his son carefully, seeing him wash his hands and dry them with a towel. He couldn’t help but smile.

“Gege, Zhouzhou is really smart.”

“Mm, Mom says Zhouzhou is just like you were when you were little. At three years old, you could help with many things without causing trouble. I didn’t expect you to be rebellious when you grew up,” Fu Tingzhou said, pinching Shen Yunxing’s reddened earlobe, his tone playful and teasing.

Shen Yunxing averted his gaze. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

Fu Tingzhou laughed. “Do you need a reminder, young master?”

“No, thanks!” Shen Yunxing’s face turned bright red. He said this and then pushed Fu Tingzhou away, running off.

After the family of three had dinner, they sat in the living room watching cartoons with their son. The warm yellow light illuminated them, creating a cozy atmosphere.

The next morning, as Shen Yunxing saw off his partner and son at the airport, he felt clearly that he was being photographed, but such things happened often. As long as Zhouzhou wasn’t involved, it was fine.

Coincidentally, Fu Tingzhou met Molly and Linda at the airport, who had just returned from H Country after finishing their filming tasks. The four of them had a meal together, and then Fu Tingzhou drove them to Old Tang’s place.

After dropping them off, Fu Tingzhou planned to take his son home, but Old Tang insisted he stay for the night. Unexpectedly, trouble ensued!

At 8 p.m., a journalist known for exposing celebrities’ scandals posted on Weibo that they would reveal a shocking piece of news at 10 p.m., hinting that the subject was a newly crowned Best Actor.

As soon as this news came out, netizens began speculating about which star it might be.

【Newly crowned Best Actor? Crap, the first person I think of is Shen Yunxing…】

【Me too… but what scandal could he have? His relationship with Fu Tingzhou is not a secret.】

【Maybe it’s Qi Xin? He won Best Actor in March this year and has been in the spotlight for a messy private life, but there’s no substantial evidence.】

【Hmm, blind guess: Shen Yunxing.】

In the past two years, the new Best Actors were few, and most guesses fell on Shen Yunxing. His fans were somewhat anxious but also apprehensive, as their star had no scandals since his debut, and it was about time something came up.

From 8 p.m., netizens and fans began waiting under Li Wei’s Weibo for the news. At 10 p.m., Li Wei started releasing the shocking details.

【Li Wei v】: Newly crowned Best Actor suspected of being a third party in a relationship [photo]

The photo wasn’t recent; it was from half a month ago, showing Shen Yunxing’s family of three shopping for groceries at a mall.

【Oh my god! It’s really Shen Yunxing!】

【Being a third party? You’re just using a random photo of three people together to make such an accusation. Do you think there are no legal consequences for rumors?】

【Just one photo claiming Shen Yunxing is a third party seems a bit far-fetched. What if the child is a relative or friend?】

【Agreed. But Wei Ge’s exposés are always like squeezing toothpaste. Let’s wait for more details.】

【Waiting for updates +1】

Half an hour later, Li Wei released another set of photos.

【Li Wei v】: [photos]

One photo showed Shen Yunxing’s family of three traveling abroad, another showed Fu Tingzhou taking their son to visit the film set, and the last one was of the three of them crowded together in a car.

【Oh, this clearly shows a family of three, with no woman in sight. How can this be considered a third-party scandal?】

【Looking at the photos, the child seems familiar with both adults. If the child were a relative, they wouldn’t be brought along everywhere. So there are only two possibilities left: one person is the child’s biological parent, or the child is adopted.】

【Or they could both be the parents…】

【The above commenter is crazy. They’re both men. How could they have a child together? [picking nose]】

【Since Wei Ge said the new Best Actor is involved in a third-party situation, it means he has evidence that the child is not Shen Yunxing’s but rather Fu Tingzhou’s with another woman. So who is the woman that both were unfaithful to?】

【Even if the child is Fu Tingzhou’s with another woman, what if they’ve been divorced for a long time? Rumors can be spread easily, but just because someone says Shen Yunxing is a third party doesn’t make it true. Have you all forgotten that Fu Tingzhou once sent court summonses to some rumor-mongering netizens?】

【To add to the above, if there were such a woman, wouldn’t she have been photographed in over two years? If no one has taken a photo, there’s only one reason: they’ve been divorced for a long time!】

【Wei Ge, hurry up and release the remaining evidence. These brainless fans still refuse to admit the truth even with the facts laid out before them.】

During the height of the online debate, Li Wei finally released his final piece of explosive news.

【Li Wei v】: Yesterday at 11 a.m., Fu Tingzhou, the president of Fu’s Group, appeared at the airport with Molly, an artist under his company, and a child around three years old. They were seen laughing and chatting as they left the airport. They went to a restaurant for a meal and then visited a farm stay. The next morning, Fu Tingzhou was seen alone in the parking lot. [photos]

Under the high-definition cameras, the man and woman in the photos, even with masks on, looked happy. The child’s face was pixelated, but from the posture, it seemed the child was leaning towards Molly in a close, affectionate manner.

This revelation caused netizens and fans to lose their composure.

【The woman is Molly, which makes sense. Molly just returned from abroad, and Shengshi Entertainment has been promoting her heavily. Fu Tingzhou has publicly supported her. Two years ago, there were photos of them entering and leaving hotels together, but they were later suppressed.】

【A major scandal. Why aren’t the fans coming out to refute this? The couple looks happy together, not like they’re divorced.】

【Um, I have a question. Normally, would a husband’s wife allow him to travel alone with another man? And even let him take care of the child? It doesn’t add up.】

【They could still be friends after a divorce. It’s not like the photos show kissing or hugging, so what’s the issue?】

【Fans are still defending them. Even with the photos out, they still won’t admit that their star is involved in a third-party situation?】

【If Shen Yunxing is truly a third party, then please show us real evidence like marriage or divorce certificates between Fu Tingzhou and Molly. Otherwise, it just seems like sensationalism.】

【Anyone in the entertainment industry knows that Li Wei’s exposés are only half true at best. Many of those shouting the loudest are just bystanders. No need for me to elaborate further. [picking nose]】

…

Shen Yunxing was shooting late into the night and, after finishing, hadn’t even had time to shower before receiving a call from his agent, Sister Yan.

“Yunxing, check Weibo. Zhouzhou has been exposed online.”

Shen Yunxing frowned deeply and logged into Weibo. The top trending topic was “Top Actor’s Third-Party Affair.”

After reading the entire report, his eyes reddened with anger. Without consulting Sister Yan, he directly @ed the reporter.

【Shen Yunxing v】: @Li Wei, Third-party affair? Which eye of yours saw me being a third party? Is this kind of misleading statement just for show? Also, please delete the photos. I am a public figure, but my family isn’t!】

Within a minute of Shen Yunxing’s post, Molly liked and shared it.

【Oh no, another false rumor!】

【Seriously, how can anyone still believe Li Wei’s claims? He was imprisoned for half a month last year for spreading false information!】

【“My family,” so does this mean Shen Yunxing is officially coming out, and giving Fu Tingzhou a title?】

【Daily question: Will it be public today?】

Although the issue seemed to be resolved, Shen Yunxing’s frown didn’t disappear, as it meant Zhouzhou had been thrust into the public eye.

【So, is this adorable boy Fu Tingzhou’s or Shen Yunxing’s? Does anyone know?】

【Probably adopted. With their good relationship, it doesn’t seem likely that either would cheat and have a child with another woman.】

The term “adopted” stung Shen Yunxing’s eyes. He bit his lip and made a decision.

“Sister Yan, is that variety show with kids still available?” he called his agent, Jiang Yan, and asked.

“Yes.” Jiang Yan paused before asking, “Have you made up your mind?”

“Yes.” Shen Yunxing looked at the flickering lights outside and said.

Rather than letting the speculation continue, he preferred to appear publicly and address it directly.

Jiang Yan said, “Alright, I’ll talk to the program team.”

“Thank you, Sister Yan.”

…

The next morning, just after Shen Yunxing woke up, he received a call from Fu Tingzhou.

“Gege, I’ve signed us up for a variety show,” Fu Tingzhou said, holding his phone and sounding a bit guilty.

“Mm.” Fu Tingzhou responded with a smile. “Your agent has already shown me the contract, but I think some changes need to be made.”

Shen Yunxing said “Ah” and asked blankly, “What’s unreasonable?”

“The payment isn’t reasonable. With my status in the industry, is it worth only one million?”

Shen Yunxing knew Fu Tingzhou was teasing him, and he played along with a smile.

“Indeed, it’s not reasonable. How could the boss of Fu’s Group be worth just one million? It should be at least two zeros more,” he laughed and said. “Zhouzhou is so adorable, appearing on screen will definitely attract a lot of fans, and the program team should pay more.”

Fu Tingzhou chuckled softly.

“Not angry anymore?”

“I am. They said I seduced you, but why can’t it be the other way around?” Shen Yunxing pouted, feeling aggrieved.

“It’s their lack of vision. My precious is so kind and cute, anyone would like him,” Fu Tingzhou cooed.

Shen Yunxing blushed from Fu Tingzhou’s sweet talk and rolled under the covers, then asked, “Gege, this variety show needs both dads to appear, and each episode takes about a week to film. Will your company be okay with that?”

Fu Tingzhou replied, “Yes.”
