Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 105

A few days later, Huo Xuanye paused mid-step as he returned to his office after a meeting.

Was he seeing things? His father was actually sitting in his office.

“Dad, did you need something?”

“Well, your mother asked me to take you to the hospital for a checkup. You can go by yourself if you prefer.”

Huo Bowen wasn’t particularly eager to go either.

“A checkup? What kind of checkup? I’m perfectly healthy,” Huo Xuanye said, baffled.

What was going on?

Huo Bowen gestured for him to close the door.

His assistant shut the door behind them.

Only then did Huo Bowen leisurely explain, “You may be healthy, but isn’t your, uh, quality not up to par?”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

A comment from years ago had come back to strike him right in the heart!

Huo Xuanye was speechless. “I-”

“You don’t seem to have any work scheduled next, right? Let’s go. Your mother gave me this task.”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

Wife, save me!!!

Wife!

With no choice, Huo Xuanye followed his father to the hospital.

“Dad, we really don’t need to do this. I’m definitely fine. You should be more concerned about my brother, he still isn’t married.”

“Aren’t you worried at all? He’s already in his thirties. In a few years, he’ll be forty and no one will want him.”

Just thinking about it gave Huo Bowen a headache.

For years, his two sons had been a problem, one refused to marry, and the other refused to have kids.

Now, finally, there was a glimmer of hope, his younger son was ready to start a family.

But now they had to worry about whether his little swimmers were up to the task.

Huo Bowen’s expression darkened. “Right now, your issue is the priority. Go get checked. If your quality isn’t good, and you have to do IVF, think about how much more suffering she’ll have to endure.”

“Dad! There shouldn’t be any problems. My lifestyle has been very regular these past few years, no smoking, barely any drinking, regular exercise, and hardly any late nights. Hardly any…”

Huo Bowen gave him a cold look. “Some things aren’t about lifestyle. Some men just aren’t cut out for it, low sperm count, weak sperm, dead sperm. Understand?”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

There was no explaining this!

The way his father was looking at him now made it clear, he thought Huo Xuanye was all bark and no bite. A man on the outside, but with subpar little swimmers.

At the hospital, Huo Xuanye resigned himself to the tests.

There was no way around it, his mother’s orders.

If he didn’t let his parents see the results, he wouldn’t be leaving the hospital today.

While waiting for the results, Huo Xuanye texted Li Su.

[Huo Xuanye: ⊙︿⊙ At the hospital. Dad misunderstood and thinks I have weak sperm, so he dragged me here for tests.]

[Li Su: That’s good. You haven’t had a checkup in years, might as well get it done.]

[Huo Xuanye: You don’t feel sorry for me at all. (‘-ω)]

[Li Su: Fine, I’ll pity you for one minute. I’ll give you the night off.]

[Huo Xuanye: Thanks, wifey!]

[Li Su: Then I won’t come home tonight. You can sleep alone.]

[Huo Xuanye: !!!???]

[Huo Xuanye: That’s not what I meant!]

[Huo Xuanye: Do you still want me??]

Why wasn’t she replying?!

Panicked, Huo Xuanye called her. “Wifey~”

“Did the results come out?”

“No, it’ll take two hours. What did you mean earlier about not coming home tonight?”

Li Su answered lightly, “Exactly what I said. I’m out shopping with my mom right now, so I’ll just stay at her place tonight.”

“Then I’m coming too.”

“No way, if you’re going to sleep with me, you won’t get any rest tonight.”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

“No rest! I don’t need rest!!!”

Li Su smiled gently, “You can take a day off. It should be fine, just work harder next month.”

“You’re mocking me.”

“Not at all.”

Huo Xuanye watched as his father walked in. “Gotta go, I’ll text you.”

“Was that Susu calling to check in?” Huo Bowen had just stepped out to take his wife’s call.

“You two should’ve looked into this pregnancy prep stuff earlier.”

“Yeah, yeah.” Huo Xuanye leaned back lazily, but his fingers flew across the screen as he sent a message.

[Huo Xuanye: I’m coming over tonight.]

[Li Su: Didn’t you want to rest?]

[Huo Xuanye: No rest.]

[Li Su: Why not?]

[Huo Xuanye: I have to prove my stamina, or else you’ll think I’m old and go find some younger guy. Then I’ll be left without a wife.]

[Li Su: You, the second young master of the Huò family, can’t find someone to marry you??]

[Huo Xuanye: I only want you.]

Out of all the water in the world, I’ll only take one sip.

[Li Su: In that case, I’ll come home tonight.]

[Huo Xuanye: I’ll be waiting for you, sweetheart.]

Two hours later, Huo Bowen anxiously went to collect the test results.

He was far more nervous than Huo Xuanye.

With the eldest son refusing to marry, seemingly determined to stay single forever, if the second son turned out to have low sperm count or poor motility, the Huo family line would end with them.

It wasn’t just him, the Huo family elders were also deeply concerned about Huo Xuanye’s condition.

Huo Bowen first snapped a photo of the report and sent it to his wife before scrutinizing it carefully.

“You…”

Huo Bowen stared at the report. “There’s nothing wrong with you!”

“Dad, next time, don’t pause like that. It’s terrifying.”

Huo Xuanye had genuinely thought something was wrong.

“It’s good that you’re fine. Thankfully, you’ve been disciplined these past few years. I knew it! you’re my son, there’s no way you’d have issues.”

Huo Xuanye’s lips twitched.

“Your mother and I had you two, and I still don’t have any problems in that department. You’re my son, how could you have issues? Your mom was just worried your health might be failing and you’d get dumped.”

Huo Bowen folded the report. “Alright, I’ll take this back to show your grandparents. You go find your wife and get busy.”

“Got it.”

Late at night, the house was quiet.

The living room was brightly lit, but the enormous sofa held only one person.

Li Su.

She’d promised to come home, yet here he was, abandoned.

Huo Xuanye angrily called his wife, only to have the call rejected.

Huo Xuanye: “…”

He was wrong.

He was truly wrong.

When his wife said they were prepping for pregnancy, he should’ve been diligent every single day, working hard, even if it meant toiling like an ox.

And yet, he’d dared to think about taking a day off.

Now his wife was mad.

[Li Su: Watching a movie. I’ll come back after.]

Knowing he was waiting at home, she still went to see a movie?

She was really angry!

First, it was a movie, next thing he knew, she’d say, “Oops, accidentally went home with Mom.”

That could totally happen.

[Huo Xuanye: I’ll wait for you. If you don’t come back, I won’t sleep.]

A little temper tantrum.

At 11 p.m., Li Su opened the front door.

The moment she stepped inside, she saw Huo Xuanye kneeling before her, holding a keyboard.

Li Su closed the door casually and took her time changing her shoes.

Huo Xuanye stared at her. Disaster, his wife wasn’t even speaking to him.

“I was wrong, wifey!”

“My dearest wife~”

“I deserve to die. From now on, I’ll fully comply with my wife’s arrangements—no retreating, no resting, working diligently every single day as promised!”

Li Su stood expressionless before him.

Huo Xuanye picked up the prepared belt nearby and handed it to her. “Here, I deserve this. Go ahead and hit me, punish me with the family discipline.”
