HIS SECRET WIFE

Chapter 43

Chanyeol was helpless against his girlfriends coaxing, so he headed over to Baek-hyun's apartment which he hadn't visited in ages. However, he was greeted at the door by a 3-4-year-old girl. With her strength, she struggled to open the door. Chanyeol glanced behind the girl and placed his questioning gaze upon Baek-hyun.

His face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. It was obvious he was seriously ill.

Chanyeol was confused by the scene before him as he asked, "Are you OK? This child is...?"

"My sister's child!"

"When did you have a sister?" Chanyeol saw through his lie straight away, "Why does your sister's child look so much like you?"

Baek-hyun smiled, he never expected to be caught red-handed like this.

"My daughter, Baek-hyune! Because I had to take care of her, I caught a fever," Baek-hyun lifted the little girl onto the sofa and headed to the kitchen to retrieve a glass of water for Chanyeol. "The auntie that usually takes care of her has caught the flu..."

"When did you have a daughter? How come you've never mentioned it before?"

"After being in this industry for a while, who doesn't have their secrets?" Baek-hyun distanced himself from the little girl, afraid he would contaminate her. "Oh yeh, why are you here?"

Chanyeol looked around Baek-hyun's apartment in detail. Rose had told him, in order to see if a man had someone in their heart, examining their home was the best way; there was bound to be a hint somewhere. But, at this moment, Baek-hyun's apartment was in a mess; mainly because of Baek-hyune's presence. Scattered all over the place where children's necessities.

"Why did you go suffer on behalf of Huo Jingjing? It wasn't necessary for you to endure 5 hours."

"Since I decided to help her, I thought I might as well help her all the way. That government official had a lot of pride. If 5 hours could satisfy his anger, then the situation would be easier to deal with. It was worth it in the end, that's all that matters," Baek-hyun brushed his fingers through his messy hair. Whenever he was sick, his hair was messy and his body was weak; there was a different kind of charm to him.

"Do you have feelings towards Huo Jingjing...?"

"Are you joking? I've already got a daughter..." Baek-hyun cracked up laughing. "All I have for Huo Jingjing is admiration, where has your mind wandered?"

"Where's your daughter's mother then?"

Baek-hyun choked and didn't say a word. His eyes looked a little lost.

Chanyeol did not chase him for an answer. He simply placed his gentle gaze upon Baek-hyune who was playing with some building blocks, "How about I take your daughter to my place so you can visit the hospital?"

"Do you know how to take care of a child?" Baek-hyun teased. "Although my little Pudding is well behaved, it's not an easy task. By the way, her nickname is 'Pudding'."

"Look at yourself; you should hurry to the hospital. How much longer can your daughter resist your germs?"

"OK...let me write you some notes."

In the end, the only thing Chanyeol gained from visiting Baek-hyun, was Baek-hyune.

As soon as Rose saw the little girl, her heart sank. Since Baek-hyun already had a daughter, it wasn't likely anything would happen between him and Huo Jingjing. Afterwards, she immersed herself in playing with the little girl.

Y/n quickly found out about Baek-hyun's daughter, but she still told Huo Jingjing the reason why Baek-hyun had gotten sick.

Huo Jingjing hated owing others, so she asked Chanyeol for Baek-hyun's address. After separating herself from her manager and assistant, she drove straight over to Baek-hyun's apartment.
