The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 349 - For My Friend

The entertainment news report continued:

"Eunchae is also the young miss of the Wu family who are long-time friends with the Kim family. The Kims and the Wus have several business collaborations over the years. Many expected that the connection between the two families would deepen with the marriage of Donghwi and Eunchae but they suddenly broke up. And now we recently learned from Donghwi himself that he fathered a child with another woman—"

The TV suddenly turned off.

"Don't watch that anymore," Donghwi's cold voice said. He held the TV remote control in his hand. He looked furious by the news report.

Hoyeon also felt upset because the news report made it sound like she was the reason why Donghwi and Eunchae's relationship ended. The two already separated when Hoyeon and Donghwi began their affair.

"Do you still have feelings for Eunchae?" she asked him.

He scowled. "No."

"But you were engaged to her before..."

"No, we weren't. I never proposed to her. It was more of a verbal agreement of marriage between our families when we were children. It's not an engagement because we didn't agree to it. Yes, we became lovers but it didn't work out." Donghwi tossed the remote to the couch and sat beside her. He grabbed her hand and held it tightly. "She's just someone from my past. You're the one I love now and the one I'll continue to love in the future. Don't think about her anymore."

"What if your father wants you to marry her?"

"Father will never force us to marry people we don't like," he told her with certainty.

"What about the elders? I'm sure they prefer for you to marry Eunchae more than me..." Her voice trembled a little.

He pulled her into his arms and embraced her. "The elders don't rule the Kims. It's my father who's the head of the family. He already loves and dotes on our son. I'm sure he'll accept you."

Although a great sense of insecurity pervaded her, Hoyeon still nodded. She hugged him back, not realizing that she was squeezing him hard. He didn't mind, though. He loved her physical strength.

"Yeon, why don't you come and attend Father's birthday party with me this coming weekend?" he asked.

"No!" Her answer was quick. She didn't even think about it. Anxiety filled her eyes.

"Please, my sweet Yeon. I know that you'll feel uncomfortable there but can you do this for me? For our family? I want to introduce you to everyone and let them know that I'm serious in staying with you and our son."

She felt torn, so she didn't answer right away.

"Ruby will also be attending," he added as additional persuasion.

"Is she?"

Actually, he didn't know. "Wait a minute," he mumbled.

He grabbed his phone and called Jennie. When she answered his call, he didn't even greet her. He immediately asked, "Ruby, you're attending Father's birthday party this weekend, right?"

"No."

"What?" Donghwi was surprised.

Hoyeon's expression cleared up. It was obvious that she already decided not to go like Jennie.

"I already called Father and informed him that I'm not attending the party. I'll just send him a gift via delivery and visit him in person the next day," Jennie told him.

He saw Hoyeon's decision on her expression and panicked a little. "Come on, little sister. Attend the party. It's our Father's birthday."

"Father says it's okay if I don't want to go."

He took a deep breath and decided to just tell his sister the reason why he wanted her to attend. "I want to bring Hoyeon and formally introduce her to Father and to everyone. She won't go if you're not going. Can you change your mind and accompany her?"

Silence.

Donghwi waited for her decision with bated breath.

"Fine," Jennie finally said.

He exhaled a big sigh of relief. "Thanks, little sister. I owe you one."

"I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for my friend."

Her answer made him chuckle. He didn't mind it at all. In fact, he was happy that the two got along with each other and were even friends.

After speaking a bit more, the call ended.

"She says she's coming," Donghwi told Hoyeon.

Although she still felt unwilling, she agreed to attend the upcoming birthday party, as long as Jennie went with them. He could sense her unwillingness, so he tried his best to reassure her.

"Trust in me, my sweet Yeon. With or without Ruby, I'll protect you. My priority now is you and our son."

"Okay."

Donghwi decided to stop working for the night. He needed to give his lady some tender loving care tonight in order to dispel her worries.

###

Gold Heights Condominium, Jennie's penthouse unit.

Night of Jihoon's birthday party.

Donghwi and Lisa were watching a football tournament on TV in the living area. Donghwi was in a formal tuxedo suit with a dark red tie, while Lisa was in casual clothing.

Little Jun was also there running around chasing Leo. His nanny followed him, making sure that he wouldn't get hurt. As for Lily, she was sleeping on Lisa's lap, enjoying her daddy's gentle strokes. She lost a lot of weight but still looked fat compared to her slim brother, Leo.

All of them would be sleeping in the penthouse tonight.

"Mommi! Mama!" Little Jun's excited voice interrupted them.

The two men turned their heads at the same time. Their breaths also caught in their throats at the same time.

Hoyeon wore a traditional red qipao. The skirt hung just below her knees. The toned muscles of her arms and calves stood out the most. She looked strong and tough.

"Beautiful," Donghwi whispered. He looked at her like he was in a trance.

As for Jennie, she wore a modern qipao-inspired dress. Its colour was more magenta than red. The upper part of the dress looked like a traditional qipao but the lower part was a floor-length flowy skirt. It was elegant yet also sexy at the same time with its thigh-high slit. The slit was unnoticeable at first, but when she walked, her smooth leg would pop out of the dress.

Lisa gently transferred Lily from his lap to the couch. Then he stood up and walked to his baby girl. He grabbed her waist, pulled her to his body and kissed her in front of everyone.

Seeing them, Donghwi also stood up and walked to Hoyeon, intending to kiss her too. However, he was too late. Another guy reached her faster than him.

"Mommi, kiss!" Little Jun demanded his mother.
