Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 10

“What frog?”

Chi Qingche cupped her face adorably, tilting her head to look at her. “Nope, nope~”

Li Su was amused by her antics.

Chi Qingche spoke up for Li Su’s grievances. “When Huo Zhenzhou regains his memory, he’ll regret it!”

Li Su replied calmly, “Not necessarily.”

Huo Zhenzhou was a cautious man who always thought twice before acting.

Even with amnesia, he wouldn’t act impulsively.

“Then why did you marry Huo Xuanye???”

Chi Qingche fixed Li Su with a gaze as clear as her name.

“For that face.”

“Face???”

Li Su herself was a stunning beauty, and she was also an extreme judge of appearances.

Her brother, Li Chen, was also exceptionally handsome, which had inadvertently raised her aesthetic standards.

The Huo brothers indeed both had god-tier looks.

Their mother, Xiao Qiyu, had once been a movie star. Because of her beauty, she only made three films before being relentlessly pursued by Huo Bowen, eventually marrying into wealth and transitioning from actress to capital, she now owned her own film company.

Both brothers had inherited their mother’s beauty.

Chi Qingche gave a thumbs-up. “As expected of my bestie, principled! Your love remains unwavering. That unpredictable and fickle Huo Zhenzhou doesn’t deserve you!”

“Huo Xuanye got lucky. He actually has the fortune to marry our precious Susu, he must be over the moon every night~”

“His brother just brought a woman home, and he immediately rushed into a flash marriage with you. Could it be he’s had a crush on you all along?”

“Maybe before, since you were his sister-in-law, he had to suppress his feelings, drowning himself in alcohol and cigarettes to numb the pain. But now that he has the chance, he’s throwing himself at you.”

“Suddenly, I’m kind of shipping you two.”

“Back when his brother went missing, Huo Xuanye made sure to see you every day, staying by your side, afraid you might do something drastic.”

The chatterbox Chi Qingche rambled on without pause.

“Did… he?” Li Su grew doubtful.

Her memories didn’t quite match that.

She had been grieving every day: going to the beach, boarding yachts, visiting the police station, or being forced by her parents to stay home and rest.

Huo Xuanye, at the time, had likely been busy directing search efforts for Huo Zhenzhou while managing the company.

Uncle Huo and Grandpa Huo had been the same.

During those three months, she had seen Huo Xuanye more than in all the previous years combined.

But it definitely wasn’t every day.

Chi Qingche insisted, “Yes, yes, he did!”

Li Su countered softly, “You’re misremembering. The Huo family was swamped back then~”

Chi Qingche smirked knowingly. “Maybe so, but there’s one thing I remember clearly. That day you fainted at the beach, the urgency and worry on his face when he carried you to the car didn’t seem fake.”

Li Su’s recollection was entirely different. “I remember him saying, ‘Sister-in-law, we haven’t found my brother yet. You can’t afford to collapse. If something happens to you, my brother will skin me alive when he gets back.’”

“Huh? He said that???”

Chi Qingche was stunned.

Had she really misread the situation?

Had Huo Xuanye truly only ever seen Li Su as his sister-in-law?

Chi Qingche narrowed her eyes with a knowing smile. “Maybe he was just afraid you’d do something reckless out of heartbreak. Sacrificing himself for the greater good, that kind of man does have a sense of responsibility.”

In Chi Qingche’s mind, Huo Xuanye’s standing had already surpassed Huo Zhenzhou’s.

Oh, sweetheart, you’re so naive. This has nothing to do with responsibility.

Huo Zhenzhou just wanted the Huo family’s inheritance rights.

Not only were the two of them engaged in heated discussion, but at this very moment, the conference room of the Huo Corporation was also buzzing with debate.

“Did you see the news? The eldest Huo heir is back!!”

“I saw it, I saw it! Who would’ve thought he lost his memory? Do you think he’ll still come to work at the company?”

“I think he’ll at least have to wait until his memory recovers. How can he work when he doesn’t remember anything? Our Huo Corporation isn’t some small company!”

“What shocked me the most was that he actually married someone else. Remember how extravagant and high-profile his engagement banquet with the eldest daughter of the Li family was? How times have changed!”

“I actually think it’s quite normal. Being all alone and having lost his memory, with a gentle and caring woman by his side taking care of him, it’s hard not to fall in love.”

“It’s not normal. He was engaged to Miss Li for a year without marrying her, yet he got married just three months after going missing. That’s way too fast!”

“Not as fast as our current young President Huo and his ex-sister-in-law’s flash marriage. The moment President Huo brought a wife home, he went and got his marriage certificate, even announcing it on Weibo.”

“Do you think young President Huo had feelings for Miss Li before?”

“Now that you mention it, Miss Li is stunningly beautiful, the kind that could topple cities and kingdoms. It wouldn’t be strange for two brothers to fall for the same woman.”

“Hahaha~”

Huo Xuanye and Zhuang Ze stood outside the conference room door.

Zhuang Ze had wanted to open the door long ago but was stopped by Huo Xuanye’s gaze.

They stood outside listening for a few minutes.

Only after hearing this did Huo Xuanye walk into the office.

Their discussion was so intense that only a few noticed Huo Xuanye’s entrance, immediately falling silent.

Huo Xuanye lazily took his seat at the head of the table. “I didn’t realize our company’s executives were so gossipy. Since I’m here in person, if there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to ask me directly.”

The moment his words fell, the conference room instantly quieted.

Everyone unanimously began reviewing the documents in front of them.

Huo Xuanye casually glanced around. “Since no one has any questions, then all you need to know are the three things I posted on Weibo.”

First: He and Li Su were married.

Second: His elder brother had returned but lost his memory.

Third: His elder brother had married someone else.

“Actually, we were wondering how serious President Huo’s injuries are. Is there a chance his memory will recover? Should we go visit him…”

Someone bold finally spoke up.

Huo Xuanye’s gaze was indifferent. “Don’t worry. Medical technology is advanced these days. He’ll recover soon, and when he does, you’ll all have the chance to see him again.”

His elder brother had just been beaten up this morning, leaving marks on his face. It wasn’t the best time for visitors.

Once his brother’s face healed, he would probably come to the company.

The doctor had suggested he visit familiar places more often, and the company and home were the places his brother had spent the most time.

“Congratulations, young President Huo, on your marriage!”

“May you have a harmonious union lasting a hundred years!”

“May you have children soon.”

“May your love last forever.”

“May your hearts be forever united.”

“May you grow old together.”

“May your marriage be harmonious.”

“May you be a perfect match.”

…

To an outsider, it might sound like a corporate meeting, but to those in the know, it seemed more like a game of idiom recitation.

But~

Listening to the well-wishes, Huo Xuanye’s mood suddenly improved.

It was as if hearing these blessings meant he and Li Su would live out their lives exactly as described.

Huo Xuanye couldn’t help but smile.

But the moment he realized it, he schooled his expression back to seriousness. “Let’s begin the meeting.”

The conference room returned to its usual solemn and formal atmosphere.

At this moment in the Huo residence, the purplish-red bruise on Huo Zhenzhou’s face had been treated by the family doctor. He stood up and headed upstairs, but didn’t return to the bedroom.

Zhou Motang’s eyes were reddened as she followed him, sniffling. “Honey, the doctor said you should rest in the bedroom. Where are you going?”
