Chapter 126 (Extra 2): Rebirth of the Tool Man in a Pampered Protagonist Novel

Beijing XX Private Hospital.

“What? I really have a baby?”

Fang Ziyang’s face lit up with an expression of disbelief and joy upon hearing the doctor’s diagnosis.
He really had a baby again? After so many years, that child had finally arrived?

“Doctor, is this true?”

Xie Zheng was equally at a loss, finding it hard to believe the news he had just heard.
Originally, he and Ziyang had planned to start trying for a baby after finishing the tech exhibition. According to the instructions, after taking the fertility capsules, as long as there were no major health issues, one should conceive within six months.

But for some unknown reason, Ziyang’s body, despite showing no issues during checkups, showed no response even after taking the capsules.
The delay had stretched to nearly three years, and the couple had all but given up hope, thinking Ziyang’s body might just not be suited for the capsules. Who would have thought that after all this, there would finally be light at the end of the tunnel, and a baby would suddenly arrive!

“It’s true. Mr. Fang might have experienced a delayed effect due to his constitution, which is why it took so long for the capsules to work. But rest assured, both of you, the baby is very healthy. The only concern is that it’s still early, so extra care is needed,” the doctor explained, fully understanding the couple’s joy.

Ever since Mr. Fang had gone over six months without any results after taking the capsules, Mr. Xie had invested in a dedicated medical team to ensure Mr. Fang’s health. The doctor was well aware of how much the couple longed for a child.

Mr. Xie, while eager for a baby, was not insistent. However, Mr. Fang placed much more importance on having a child. During the initial months of disappointment, when there was no sign of success, Mr. Fang had fallen into a deep emotional slump, as if he had lost something incredibly important. His despair worried Mr. Xie immensely.

Thankfully, with Mr. Xie’s support, Mr. Fang gradually recovered emotionally. Yet the longing for a child remained a thorn in his heart.

The doctor couldn’t help but silently admire the strong bond between this same-sex couple. It was the first time he had encountered a couple so eager for a child.

Now, the long-awaited baby had finally come. Mr. Fang could finally be happy, and their medical team could stop worrying about his fluctuating emotions, sleepless nights, and Mr. Xie secretly pressuring them to find ways to cheer up his husband.

Honestly, they were doctors, not circus clowns! Mr. Xie’s request to have them entertain Mr. Fang was unprecedented!

With the diagnosis confirmed, the couple’s joy was palpable.

The couple was overjoyed.

Even the usually composed Xie Zheng couldn’t help but be a little flustered, fumbling around nervously.
“What—what should we do now? Should we stay in the hospital? Maybe staying in the hospital would be better. We could take care of the baby here before going home. There’s a medical team here, and no matter how many housekeepers we have at home, they won’t compare… No, no, the hospital has doctors on standby, but the environment isn’t great, and it smells like disinfectant everywhere.”

Xie Zheng’s mind was spinning, completely overwhelmed by the unexpected joy.

Fang Ziyang was also momentarily stunned with excitement, his mind going blank. However, seeing Xie Zheng’s reaction, he couldn’t help but laugh, regaining some composure.

“Why stay in the hospital? I’m not sick. Let’s go home and have Aunt Fen make me some soup. And hurry up, call my brother and have him bring Da Bao over. I want to tell Da Bao he’s going to have a little brother…”

Fang Ziyang shook Xie Zheng to bring him back to his senses, cheerfully giving instructions.

Da Bao was Tang Xun and Rick’s baby. Ever since Fang Ziyang realized the capsules didn’t seem to be working for him, he had grown even fonder of his brother’s child, often holding Da Bao for long periods every day. In fact, Da Bao was closer to him than to his biological father, much to Rick’s dismay.

“Oh, oh, right. Call, call…”

Xie Zheng snapped out of it, grinning foolishly as he quickly pulled out his phone to call Tang Xun and Rick, sharing the joyous news.

After making the call, Xie Zheng still felt unsatisfied with sharing the happiness with just two people. So, he took a photo of the medical report and indulged in one of his favorite activities—posting on his social media.

As always, Xie Zheng’s social media post was simple yet subtly smug.

Xie Zheng: I have a baby now. [Attached: medical report image]

When the employees at New World Tech, who had their notifications set to alert them to their boss’s posts, saw this, their first reaction was unanimous: Here we go again, the boss is showing off his love life again!

Ever since the boss started dating, their lives had been inundated with PDA. After the public announcement of the relationship, the “dog food” they were forced to consume was overwhelming.

While other bosses posted about high-level industry news, motivational quotes, or company updates, their boss’s posts? Pure PDA, free of charge.

What made it worse was that even if the PDA made them sick, they still had to like and engage with the posts. Why? Because… if the boss was in a good mood from all the likes, there was a chance for extra bonuses that month!

So, despite their complaints, they eagerly clicked on the notification. But what they saw left them stunned.

The boss has a baby?!

“Is this for real? Does the boss really have a baby?”

“Wasn’t it said that Mr. Fang’s body didn’t seem suitable for the capsules?”

Cough, cough. “Mr. Fang’s body might not be suitable for the capsules, but nobody ever said the boss couldn’t take them…”

“Haha, switching roles, huh? Makes sense!”

“I don’t care who’s the top or bottom—I just want to know which lucky little one managed to get reincarnated into the boss’s family!”

“Same here. Can I just admit I’m insanely jealous of this unborn heir already…?”

“Born as the heir to New World Tech and Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals, this is the true child of destiny, a winner in life, born with a golden spoon!”

“After two years of waiting, the little prince is finally here…”

New World Tech employees were shocked by the boss’s latest social media post and immediately began discussing it enthusiastically.

Everyone knew what New World Tech and Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals represented today.

Although Xie Zheng and Fang Ziyang weren’t the sole shareholders of either company, both of them held the largest individual stakes in each.

Especially Fang Ziyang—not only did he own the largest share in Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals, but he also controlled its key technologies. The wealth and status tied to that were unimaginable to ordinary people.

So, to say that their child was born a winner in life wasn’t an exaggeration in the slightest!

This little prince was truly blessed.

Still, despite all the discussions and envy, everyone was quick to like and comment on the post. The moment Xie Zheng’s update went live, comments poured in:

Liao Xiaoxiao, Finance Department: Congratulations, boss!

Zhou Qingqing, Legal Department: The boss’s baby is definitely going to be adorable!

Li Yuqin, HR Department: Congrats, boss! The baby’s ultrasound scan must be as beautiful as Mr. Fang!

Wang Dongdong, PR Department: Boss, to celebrate, our PR team has decided to produce the ninth episode of your and Mr. Fang’s love story microfilm!

Everyone: … PR is as shameless and cunning as ever.

Xie Zheng, who had just posted the update, was overjoyed and immensely pleased by his employees’ responses. Such perceptive and thoughtful workers deserved a reward!

So, he decisively handed his phone to his husband and said earnestly, “Baby, I think this month’s profits are looking good. To boost employee morale, why don’t we hand out some bonuses?”

“Absolutely!”

Fang Ziyang nodded enthusiastically, clearly in high spirits from all the praise.

Everyone was celebrating his baby—how could he not be thrilled? Bonuses? Sure, hand them out!

“Wait, let me post on Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals’ social media too. This month, we’ll increase everyone’s bonuses…”

Having been subtly influenced by his low-key but proud husband, Fang Ziyang had also learned to show off on social media. Now that they were having a baby, it was the perfect occasion to brag a little more.

“Post more. That way, everyone will love our baby even more.”

“Mm-hmm! Doing good deeds and building up blessings is always a win. Besides, we’ll never run out of money anyway.”

“Baby, how about I set up a charity foundation specifically for our baby tomorrow? People who know how to use money are the ones who truly make money.”

“That’s a great idea! Hubby, you’re so smart!”

“But, Baby, you shouldn’t spoil the baby too much in the future. Monthly pocket money shouldn’t be too high. I think one hundred million a month until they’re 18 should be enough…”

“One hundred million… isn’t that a bit stingy?”

“It’s not stingy. My grandfather only gave me fifty million a month when I was a kid. Thank goodness I knew how to invest; otherwise, life would’ve been rough.”

“Hubby, if that’s the case, then I was even worse off! I only got a few million a month when I was little. Wah, hubby~”

“My poor baby, that’s so tragic!”

The two new dads, completely lost in their bliss, began discussing how to spend extravagantly to accumulate blessings for their unborn baby.

Doctor watching the entire scene: …

How do I resist the urge to strangle this couple?

At the Xie family villa.

The couple’s social media posts didn’t go unnoticed—Aunt Fen saw them immediately.

“Old Wang, the young masters finally have a baby!”

Aunt Fen was so overjoyed she jumped up and slapped Uncle Wang on the shoulder in excitement.

“They have a baby, so what? Why are you so excited? And didn’t I tell you to stop calling me Old Wang? It sounds awful…”

Uncle Wang, still confused, rubbed his sore shoulder and complained, once again correcting his wife’s nickname for him. “Old Wang” had far too many unfortunate connotations.

Normally, Aunt Fen would have quarreled back. But this time, she didn’t have the patience. She slapped her husband again, more excitedly.

“Our young masters have a baby! How can I not be excited? You silly old man, you need to get your ears checked! We’re going to have a little young master in the family! Just now, the young master posted on social media—Mr. Fang is finally pregnant!”

Aunt Fen had been with the Xie family for years, practically raising Xie Zheng. Though she was technically a servant, her relationship with Xie Zheng was closer to that of a mother and son.

She had always thought that with Xie Zheng’s temperament, marriage would be a distant dream. Yet not only did he find someone, but that someone was Fang Ziyang—a wonderful match! It had made her immensely happy.

And now, with a baby on the way…

When Aunt Fen learned that the capsules didn’t seem to work for the two young masters, she wasn’t too disappointed. As long as the eldest young master was happy, that was enough for her.

But two years later, an unexpected surprise came.

“This is a joyous occasion—we must celebrate properly! Old Wang, you stay home and tidy up while I go out to buy groceries,” Aunt Fen said, her excitement overflowing.

She immediately decided to head out to buy (show off) groceries to celebrate.

Uncle Wang, of course, saw right through his wife’s intentions. Shaking his head, he sighed, “This old woman really can’t keep her excitement in check.”

Then, Uncle Wang picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and started a video call with their neighbor, Steward Zhang. His face broke into a wide grin, full of wrinkles.

“Hey, Old Zhang! What are you up to? I need your advice on something.”

Steward Zhang replied, “What’s up?”

Uncle Wang chuckled, “Haha, oh, it’s nothing much. I just wanted to ask—since we’re about to have a little young master in the house, what should we prepare for him?”

Steward Zhang responded, “Old Wang… I feel like you’re provoking me.”

Feigning innocence, Uncle Wang lightly slapped his forehead. “Oh dear, how could I forget? Your madam ran off with your little young master, who hasn’t even been born yet, and still hasn’t come back. My apologies for bringing up such a painful topic. But hey, you’ve rubbed salt in my wounds before, and I never held it against you. So let it slide this time, okay? Don’t get too worked up at your age—it’s bad for your health.”

Steward Zhang: …

Was it really necessary to hold a grudge for so long just because I once bragged that our household had a young master first?

The newly discovered Xie family baby had unintentionally sparked a “war” between the neighboring stewards.

Though the baby’s arrival brought some chaos, it had undeniably become the center of everyone’s attention.

Thanks to Fang Ziyang and Xie Zheng, who were both proud of their husband and baby, Baby Xie had already become famous nationwide before even being born.

As the joint heir of New World Tech and Dongsheng Pharmaceuticals, Baby Xie was destined to be a dazzling winner in life, envied by all.

When Baby Xie was finally born, the event captured the nation’s attention.

While Xie Zheng was in the middle of an interview, he received a call from the hospital and immediately dropped everything to rush over, followed by a curious swarm of reporters.

And so, Baby Xie earned the unprecedented honor of having their birth witnessed by the entire country, along with… being secretly photographed by an unscrupulous reporter, who managed to capture their tiny bare bottom on the day of their birth.
