Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 100

The grand finale of Dance Beyond Limits was underway.

Li Su wore an elegant, understated light blue strapless gown, its sheer skirt adorned with delicate three-dimensional white flowers. The petals, translucent and weightless, fluttered with her every step: dreamy, poetic, and breathtaking.

The moment she appeared on screen, the live chat exploded with comments like “Goddess descended,” and fans spammed “wife” endlessly.

Huo Xuanye was in the audience, seated in the front row. His gaze flickered between Li Su and the barrage of comments on his phone.

He didn’t get it.

He really didn’t.

Why were people calling his wife their wife?

Even girls were calling her “wife.”

The show had run smoothly for two months, aside from the mid-season replacements of Zhao Bo and Lu Jun.

Seated at the judges’ table, Li Su watched the contestants she had supported all along perform on stage, her heart swelling with emotion.

Aside from the premiere, it had been a long time since she last danced on stage herself.

Every two weeks, she went to the hospital for a check-up.

Every day, she underwent rehabilitation.

The doctors still advised against high-difficulty moves, urging her to recover slowly. It would take about two years to return to her former condition.

She missed dancing so much.

She missed performing.

So, so much.

But tonight’s stage belonged to the contestants.

After three intense hours, the champion was finally crowned.

All the contestants and judges gathered on stage to celebrate amidst a shower of confetti.

Lin Yaoqing leaned close to Li Su’s ear. “How’s your leg? There’s a dance competition in the U.S. are you joining?”

“I can’t. But I hope you bring home the championship.”

“If you’re not going, then neither am I.”

“Are you chickening out?”

“Of course not! You’re my only rival. If my rival isn’t competing, what’s the point?” With that, Lin Yaoqing flitted off to chat and celebrate with the other contestants.

Suddenly, Li Su was pulled into a hug. “Thank you! For supporting me these past two months.”

The girl embracing her was Wang Sichun, this season’s champion.

“No need to thank me. You earned this yourself. Go enjoy it.” Li Su smiled warmly.

[Our Susu is so gentle!]

[Not taking any credit at all, who wouldn’t feel for Sichun and Susu after seeing them practice day in and day out at the studio?]

[I want to see Susu dance again!]

[Bad show! The production team sucks. Now that it’s over, shouldn’t the judges perform too?]

[She is dancing!]

[Wiggling her waist and swaying counts as dancing? That doesn’t do Susu justice at all.]

[Have a heart, she’s not fully recovered yet. Even her routine two months ago was simple.]

Holding a bouquet gifted to her, Li Su stepped off the stage.

Noticing this, Huo Xuanye stood and walked toward her.

They met near the audience seats.

Li Su handed him the flowers. “Thanks for accompanying me. These are for you. Let’s go on vacation tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Huo Xuanye took the bouquet and pulled her into an embrace.

[May Sister and Brother-in-Law stay happy for a hundred years!]

[I bet Susu doesn’t realize the livestream is still running.]

[LOL, makes sense. Susu never flaunts her relationship, no posts about hubby on Weibo or TikTok.]

[Love seeing this. Keep it coming.]

Leaning against Huo Xuanye, Li Su relaxed completely now that the show was over until she suddenly noticed their faces on the big screen.

Wait…

What was the director doing?!

Shouldn’t they be focusing on the winners instead of her right now?

With effortless grace, Li Su waved at the camera, smiling.

A subtle hint to the director: Cut it out and focus on someone else.

The director got the message.

The scene returns to the stage once more.

Many in the audience are calling out Li Su’s name.

Standing beside Huo Xuanye, Li Su greets the crowd with a warm smile.

“Thank you all for coming tonight. Please be careful on your way home. See you next time!”

“Su Su, you’re so beautiful!!”

“Can we shake hands?”

Some audience members begin moving toward the front rows.

Not only does Huo Xuanye hold Li Su’s hand protectively, but security also quickly surrounds them.

The venue tonight is massive, and if anything were to go wrong, the situation could spiral out of control.

“There’ll be chances in the future. Love you all!” Li Su blows them a kiss.

Huo Xuanye secretly fumes with jealousy.

First, they call her “wife,” and now she’s blowing kisses?

As if he, her actual husband, doesn’t exist?

An hour later, the two return to their hotel.

They’re still holding hands in the elevator, but the moment they enter their room, Li Su leaps onto Huo Xuanye, wrapping her legs around his lean waist.

“Baby~”

“Tonight, I can do whatever I want, right~?”

He’s been waiting for this.

“Starting tonight, you’re paying back what you owe me, yeah?”

Two whole months!

Twice a day, minus her period.

That…

She’ll never be able to repay it.

She might just be indebted for life.

“Didn’t we agree to go on vacation after this?” Li Su cups his face. “Hmm?”

“We’ll go on vacation too, but let’s take our time, no rush…”

“You seem pretty eager to me.” Li Su traces her fingers lightly over his face, her thumb brushing his lips.

Huo Xuanye’s gaze grows hazy, his wife’s hands smell so sweet.

He loves the faint scent of pear blossoms that lingers on her.

It’s intoxicating.

“Baby~”

“You’ve neglected me for over two months…”

It’s not as exaggerated as Huo Xuanye makes it sound.

She’s just been a little busy during the day, but she still sleeps with him every night.

Even when he’s away on business, he insists on video-calling her until she falls asleep. If his phone dies in the middle of the night, he wakes up furious.

Seriously…

So childish!

As if she’d just vanish into thin air.

“Like you haven’t been sleeping with me every night,” Li Su teases, playfully flicking his prominent Adam’s apple.

It bobs under her touch.

“Baby, that’s exactly why I’ve been so unsatisfied every night, utterly pitiful. At my age, I’m in my prime. You should cherish me. Later, when I can’t perform anymore, even if you want it, I won’t be able to…”

“Shh, shh~~”

Li Su shakes her head slightly. “Last time, you said you quit smoking, cut back on drinking, and kept up with workouts so that even at fifty, your little swimmers would still be top-tier. Forgetting already?”

“Not forgetting. That’s just my way of asking for more…”

“Honestly, whether you can perform or not doesn’t matter. New energy tech seems pretty great these days.”

Huo Xuanye lays her down on the bed, his heart pounding as he cups her face in return. “You… wait, you…”

“Wife, you told me you’ve been busy coaching the trainees every day. How did you find time to research new energy tech?”

With a husband like him right here.

Does she even need that kind of thing?

“I didn’t research it, I didn’t!”

“I just stumbled across it…”

Li Su quickly backtracks.

Truthfully, Qingqing sent it to her, but there’s no need to mention her girl-talk with her bestie.

“Show me.”

Li Su blinks. “Show you what?”

“Those new energy products you ‘stumbled across.’”

Li Su’s face flushes, her ears burning.

“I have you. Why would I need something like that?” She loops her arms around his neck. “If I ever need it, I’ll look into it then.”

Huo Xuanye’s gaze was suggestive, “Baby, maybe we’ll need it in a couple of days.”

Li Su: “…”

Help!

They were going on vacation, not a honeymoon!!

“Not giving it?” Huo Xuanye brushed his lips against hers, murmuring, “Fine, baby, I’ll search for it myself tomorrow.”

He could search all he wanted.

She wasn’t sending it.

“Get off, let’s shower first.”

“Mhm.”

That shower took an hour, and the moment they stepped out, the two figures tangled together again.

By the time the sky lightened to the pale hue of dawn, Li Su finally closed her eyes.

Exhausted.

More tiring than dancing.
