The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 350 - Househusband

Hoyeon picked up Little Jun and kissed him on the cheek. However, the little guy was unsatisfied. He grabbed his mother's face and gave her a kiss on the mouth instead. Then he turned to Lisa and smirked.

Everyone laughed at the toddler's antics, except for one person.

Donghwi glared at Lisa. "Stop corrupting my son. Look at him. He's emulating your shamelessness!"

It was Jennie who felt offended at his accusation. She snapped at him. "Don't blame Lisa. You're just salty because your son is more romantic than you!"

Jae, the make-up artist and the hairstylist snickered a few steps behind them. They just came out from the walk-in closet after glamming up Jennie and Hoyeon.

Donghwi glared at them next. The make-up artist and the hairstylist immediately shut up, but Jae didn't mind and continued snickering. Then he whipped out his phone and started snapping photos of the smug Little Jun.

"Junie boy, hold your smile and look at Uncle Jae's camera. Yes, good job! My cutie patootie pie is so handsome! Even more handsome than Dada and Papa! Ehehe."

Both Jennie and Hoyeon chuckled at Jae's claim. Hoyeon then wiped the small lipstick stain that got on Little Jun's lips.

As for the make-up artist and the hairstylist, they retreated to the background with the nanny. They already discovered Lisa's identity about a month after they started working for Jennie. Needless to say, they were very shocked. Even without the signed NDA, they wouldn't dare divulge this piece of information to the public because Lisa was a fearsome enemy.

It wasn't worth it offending the most powerful man in the business world of his generation just for some quick cash. They might get away if they betrayed Jennie but to anger someone of Lisa's calibre? That would be pure insanity on their part. Besides, they already began respecting and liking Jennie as a boss. Loyalty for her was already growing inside them.

Donghwi scowled when he saw Lisa smirking at him. The expression was so similar to his son's own smirk that it was as if they were the father and son. It also didn't help that Little Jun looked a bit like Jennie. They seemed more like the actual family. The thought depressed him a little as jealousy filled him inside.

Finally, it was time to go. Jae and the nanny diverted Little Jun's attention, so that Jennie and the others could leave the penthouse.

The two pairs rode Lisa's limousine on the way to the party.

"I guess you're not coming with us judging by that outfit of yours," Donghwi commented as he looked at Lisa's casual clothes. "Did Father not invite you?"

"Of course Father invited Lisa," Jennie replied instead. "Originally, both of us aren't coming but since you asked, I'll attend. Lisa and I will only attend events together as a couple after we officially announce our relationship. Besides, with the three of us gone, he needs to stay at home to babysit the cats and Little Jun. Right, honey?"

"En." Lisa readily agreed.

Donghwi scoffed. "You're letting this brat turn you into a househusband?"

Jennie pursed her lips at Donghwi.

Then Lisa replied, "Hmm... That would be nice."

Donghwi looked at Lisa as if he transformed into an alien. Jennie, on the other hand, looked delighted.

"Don't worry, hon. I'll work hard so that if you ever decide to be a househusband, I can support our family. Then you can stay at home and take care of our kids." Then she realized what she just said and blushed. "I mean, our cats. Our cats are our kids."

"En." Lisa chuckled and nuzzled her neck.

Donghwi shook his head at them, and then turned to his Hoyeon, expecting her to have the same reaction as him. However, Hoyeon had a slightly envious expression on her face as she watched Jennie and Lisa.

He cleared his throat and asked her, "Do you also want me to become a househusband?"

Hoyeon looked at him like he had lost his mind. "We have a son to support. Both of us need to work."

"Ahahaha! Of course, of course. I was just joking," Donghwi laughed awkwardly.

It seemed like his little sister was right. The romantic advances of his son (learned from that damn Lisa) was more effective to Hoyeon than his own attempts of romancing her.

The Kim ancestral residence wasn't ideal to host a grand bash because it housed too many priceless treasures that could be damaged by the guests. Even the compound was a treasure in itself.

That was why it was decided that Jihoon's birthday party would be held at another property of his. This property boasted a contemporary and chic mansion with a tropical-style landscaping. He recently acquired it as one of his real estate investments.

At the moment, a line of luxury cars slowly made their way inside. Only people who showed invitations were let through the massive gates. Even if someone was a member of the Kim family, he or she wouldn't be allowed inside without an official invitation.

Inside the mansion, the guests mingled with each other. Most of them were individuals or from families who were around the same level as the Kims in high society. There were a lot of businesspeople and socialites among them.

The status of these people were impressive, but they weren't at the top of high society's hierarchy. Their levels weren't high enough to invite the likes of the Manobans, the Kwons, and most especially the family of Madam Wan. Nevertheless, this birthday party was still filled with a lot of different personages who were connected to the Kim family one way or another.

Jihoon welcomed and briefly chatted with the people who came over to greet him a happy birthday. Jia and Alice were beside him. His second son, Jay, and first daughter, Jisoo, also had arrived. Her first daughter came with her best friend, Chaeng. He asked them to accompany him in greeting the guests.

Jufang, Meng and the other elders were displeased by Jihoon's decision to display his illegitimate children in such a conspicuous position beside him. To them, it was like showing the whole world their family's dirtiest and darkest stains. How shameful!

The conversations suddenly stopped and heads turned towards the entrance. Jihoon and the others followed suit to see what was going on.

Audible gasps could be heard when everyone saw the new arrivals.
