Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 107

“Feeling hopeless?”

Huo Xuanye shook his head, sat down beside Li Su, and pulled her into an embrace. “It just means I need to keep trying. Are you feeling unwell? Go lie down for a while.”

“Get away from me.”

“No.”

“Huo Xuanye, isn’t my period exactly what you wanted? You get a seven-day break!”

Before, he might have found those seven days agonizing, but now he was probably secretly thrilled.

Huo Xuanye’s eyes had been brimming with tears earlier, and now they were still damp, the corners slightly red. With that expression on his face, Li Su felt both angry and heartbroken.

Huo Xuanye stubbornly wrapped his arms around her waist. “When I woke up this morning, you weren’t beside me. You weren’t even at home. For the first time in all these years, I didn’t know where you were. I was so scared. I was terrified you’d left me.”

“Wifey, I want to grow old with you. I want to have a child with you.”

“Wifey, I can’t reverse time and become 18 again, but I’ll work out, eat well, take supplements, even medicine if I have to. I’ll listen to you from now on, I promise.”

“Okay? Wifey~”

Li Su looked at him impassively. “You’re only 31.”

“It’s not that I’m not capable! I’m talking about the future, just in case.”

“You know exactly how capable I am.”

“But you’re not interested in me anymore.” Li Su clicked her tongue.

Huo Xuanye cupped her face and kissed her. At first, Li Su struggled, but when she couldn’t push him away, she gave in.

As the kiss deepened, Huo Xuanye buried his face in her shoulder, breathing heavily.

“Baby~”

“Touch me, feel it, do you really think I’m not interested in you?”

He pressed her hand against him, and Li Su leaned close to his ear. “Then you’ll just have to endure it~”

Huo Xuanye’s voice was hoarse. “Mhm. I’ll endure it. After your period, I’ll give you everything.”

Li Su: “No!”

“Wifey~”

“Wifey~”

“I’ll give it all to you, just for you!”

“I don’t want it, I don’t want it, I don’t want it! Get out of here.” She shoved him.

Huo Xuanye pressed his forehead against hers. “Wifey, if you tell me to leave during your period, who’s going to take care of you? Should I let Chi Qingche do it instead?”

“I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

“You do. When I’m with you, you don’t have to be strong.”

It was just her period, nothing serious.

Huo Xuanye insisted on staying, so Li Su reluctantly let him spend the night.

The next day, she kicked him out.

He was annoying.

She didn’t return until ten days later.

Ten days apart was nothing like being together every day. The moment they reunited, it was like sparks meeting dry tinder, an unstoppable blaze.

They slept until 1 PM.

Completely spent.

Not a drop left.

Huo Xuanye held Li Su close. “Baby, let’s never be apart for ten days again. It’s too long.”

“That depends on your performance.”

“I think I did really well this time.”

Li Su stroked his cheek. “Not bad. But pregnancy is a matter of chance. If you’re too exhausted, I might have to resort to scientific methods.”

Huo Xuanye immediately protested, “No IVF.”

“What IVF? I’m talking about going to the hospital to monitor ovulation. We’ll do it when the follicle is mature.”

“No, no, no. Wifey, ten days apart was punishment enough. I don’t want that method. I’d rather go back to how we were before. Every day is fine by me.”

“You’re willing? Well, I’m not!”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

Li Su got out of bed.

Huo Xuanye watched her walk away, his gaze lingering on the marks from the previous night scattered across her fair, delicate skin.

“So… what’s the frequency then?”

“That depends on my mood.”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

Ahhh!

Li Su put on her pajamas, turned around, and smiled with amusement in the corners of her eyes. “Honey, you don’t need to worry right now because I’m not pregnant yet, so I won’t let you rest. Once I do get pregnant, you’ll have plenty of time to rest, during my postpartum confinement and recovery, you’ll get a whole year off.”

Huo Xuanye: “…”

A whole year!!

He was doomed.

Huo Xuanye could already foresee his future.

He had been living in bliss without even realizing it.

Huo Xuanye threw off the covers, got out of bed, and hugged Li Su from behind. “Wife, I’ve decided, before you get pregnant, every single day.”

“No regrets?”

“Absolutely none.”

“Fine, I’ll give you one more chance.”

“Thank you, my dear wife~”

Two months later, Li Su felt unwell and took a pregnancy test at home. After seeing two lines, she went to the hospital for confirmation.

Once she got the results, she took a photo and sent it to their group chat.

The next second, Huo Xuanye called.

“Wife, wife!!! You’re pregnant!”

“I’m going to be a dad, I’m going to be a dad!”

Li Su stood in the sunlight, smiling gently. “Yes, you’re going to be a dad.”

“Wife, where are you? I’m coming to see you right now.”

“You didn’t even call me before going to the hospital.”

Li Su got into the car. “I’m heading home now. See you there.”

“Okay.”

Li Su and Huo Xuanye arrived home one after the other.

Huo Xuanye held the test report, so excited he could cry.

Li Su watched him quietly. “Congratulations. Now you can rest.”

Rest?

Li Su meant he wouldn’t get any action!!!

“Wife, don’t say such sad things on such a happy day.”

“Didn’t you really want to rest?”

“Misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding! I don’t want to rest. I want to be with my wife every day, seizing the moment.”

Pfft.

She didn’t believe him.

Huo Xuanye’s joy didn’t last long before the doorbell rang.

It was their parents.

“Li Su, congratulations!”

“We were thinking… since you’re pregnant, you should move back to the Huo family estate now so you can be taken care of. What do you think?”

Li Su smiled. “I don’t mind.”

Huo Xuanye still had to work, after all.

She could rest.

The man who had to earn money couldn’t rest.

Since his wife agreed to move back, he had no choice but to go along.

Back when Li Su and Huo Xuanye had moved into their new home, Huo Zhenzhou had mostly recovered from his illness and returned to the Huo estate.

So when they went back, Huo Zhenzhou was also home.

Over the years, the Huo elders hadn’t stopped introducing potential partners to him.

But Huo Zhenzhou simply didn’t want to marry.

He turned down every blind date. If he couldn’t refuse, he’d go and then reject the woman afterward.

This went on for three years until the elders finally gave up. If he didn’t want to marry, so be it.

If he didn’t want to, even if he did marry, it would just be for show. Better to let him be than cause trouble at home.

Huo Zhenzhou stepped forward warmly. “Congratulations to you both.”

“Thanks, bro!” Huo Xuanye held Li Su’s hand. “Bro, all these years, I’ve actually wanted to congratulate you too, but why are you still single? Why haven’t you found us a sister-in-law yet?”

“Not everything worth congratulating has to be about marriage,” Huo Zhenzhou replied calmly.

After hearing such remarks for years, he felt almost immune.

He asked for nothing, and he knew there was no chance of reconciliation now.

He only hoped that Li Su would be happy in the future.

May the rest of her days be smooth.

“Brother is right, I was being narrow-minded. Congrats, bro, on leveling up in maturity by another year.”

Huo Zhenzhou: “Today isn’t my birthday.”

Huo Xuanye: “Early wishes.”

Huo Zhenzhou: “…”

Since moving out to live on their own, Li Su and Huo Xuanye rarely came back to stay.

But their rooms were still kept clean and tidy, ready for them to rest in whenever they returned.

Li Su flopped onto the bed with a sigh. “Ugh, I can’t dance for a whole year now. Only light exercise for me…”

Huo Xuanye sat beside her, lost in thought.

“Huo Xuanye, what’s on your mind?”

He leaned down. “Wife, my brother’s already an old man and still not married. Do you think he’s still holding out hope for us to divorce?”
