Lu Che was helpless against his girlfriends coaxing, so he headed over to Fang Yu's apartment which he hadn't visited in ages. However, he was greeted at the door by a 3-4-year-oldgirl. With her strength, she struggled to open the door. Lu Che glanced behind the girl and placed his questioning gaze upon Fang Yu.
His face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. It was obvious he was seriously ill.
Lu Che 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?" Lu Che saw through his lie straight away, "Why does your sister's child look so much like you?"
Fang Yu smiled, he never expected to be caught red-handed like this.
"My daughter, Fang Yue! Because I had to take care of her, I caught a fever," Fang Yu lifted the little girl onto the sofa and headed to the kitchen to retrieve a glass of water for Lu Che. "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?" Fang Yu distanced himself from the little girl, afraid he would contaminate her. "Oh yeh, why are you here?"
Lu Che looked around Fang Yu's apartment in detail. Long Jie 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, Fang Yu's apartment was in a mess; mainly because of Fang Yue's presence. Scattered all over the place were 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," Fang Yu 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..." Fang Yu cracked up laughing. "All I have for Huo Jingjing is admiration, where has your mind wandered?"
"Where's your daughter's mother then?"
Fang Yu choked and didn't say a word. His eyes looked a little lost.
Lu Che did not chase him for an answer. He simply placed his gentle gaze upon Fang Yue 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?" Fang Yu 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 Lu Che gained from visiting Fang Yu, was Fang Yue.
As soon as Long Jie saw the little girl, her heart sank. Since Fang Yu 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.
Tangning quickly found out about Fang Yu's daughter, but she still told Huo Jingjing the reason why Fang Yu had gotten sick.
Huo Jingjing hated owing others, so she asked Lu Che for Fang Yu's address. After separating herself from her manager and assistant, she drove straight over to Fang Yu's apartment.
Upon seeing the disguised Huo Jingjing at his front door, Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh, "You are currently the main focus of the media. For goodness sake, can't you let me have some rest? If the media capture a photo of us, it would be impossible for us to explain ourselves!"
"Don't worry about going to the hospital. I'll leave after your fever subsides."
