Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 15

Zhou Motang’s expression darkened across the table.

If Huo Zhenzhou wasn’t planning to pursue the matter, what could she possibly achieve by confronting Li Chen?

But that didn’t mean she couldn’t remind Huo Zhenzhou that Li Su’s brother had hit him.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was slightly awkward.

Huo Xuanye’s voice broke the silence. “Wife, you just said my face was handsome and sexy. If you keep looking at my brother, I’ll get jealous.”

Li Su calmly sipped her orange juice. “Fine, I won’t look anymore.”

Huo Xuanye didn’t believe her for a second, but at this moment, as long as she was willing to humor him, he wouldn’t call her out on it.

He added, “Mom, Dad, do you have time today? Can we go to the Li family to discuss the wedding? I’m in a hurry.”

Li Su glanced at him from the corner of her eye.

Discussing the wedding today? Since when did she know about this?

Even the marriage certificate had been posted online by Huo Xuanye, clearly, he was in a rush.

Huo’s parents couldn’t understand why he was so impatient. Had he already had feelings for Li Su before?

How terrifying!

“We can reschedule other plans. Your marriage is more important,” Huo Bowen said solemnly.

Huo Xuanye turned to the family head, who had remained silent. “Grandpa?”

Old Master Huo’s gaze was deep. “I’m going to pick up your grandmother today.”

Grandma Huo?

Li Su’s heart skipped a beat. In the entire Huo family, only Grandma Huo didn’t seem to like her much.

Even Li Su herself didn’t know why.

Old Master Huo said, “You two come with me.”

The dining room fell silent as everyone continued eating.

Zhou Motang couldn’t help but ask, “Which two?”

“Us,” Huo Zhenzhou murmured.

“Your grandmother went up the mountain to pray for your blessings. She’s been worried about you. She’ll be overjoyed to see you when you pick her up.” Old Master Huo glanced at Huo Zhenzhou’s face. “Get that face treated.”

Huo Zhenzhou: “Understood.”

For the first time, Zhou Motang felt the suffocating pressure of an elite family.

She couldn’t seem to fit in.

She couldn’t even follow who was talking to whom.

Sometimes, she envied Li Su. Li Su had interacted with the Huo family before and moved through their world with ease.

She and Huo Zhenzhou had married first, yet today, the priority was discussing Huo Xuanye and Li Su’s wedding?

Was that fair?

In the car on the way to the Li residence, Huo Xuanye noticed Li Su’s subdued mood. “If it were my brother sitting next to you right now, you’d be smiling, wouldn’t you?”

Li Su shot him an exasperated look.

Huo Xuanye’s face was practically screaming his displeasure. “Let’s stop by the hospital first.”

Li Su asked casually, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I’m getting this mole removed. All that talk about it being sexy and handsome was just lies.” Huo Xuanye suddenly leaned in close. “You never really treated me as his substitute.”

“If you saw me as him, you wouldn’t be this calm. You should’ve done this and that to me…”

“But you haven’t done anything. You still see me as Huo Xuanye!”

Why did his expression look so strange?

His fierce glare was tinged with a hint of grievance.

Li Su felt wronged too. “My relationship with him was slow and steady. We never did anything particularly passionate. What exactly are you expecting from me?”

Huo Xuanye stared at her lips and muttered softly, “At least a kiss or something.”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

Huo Xuanye couldn’t bring himself to repeat it. “If you’re really not happy about it, we don’t have to go today. You know my parents are very open-minded, they won’t be upset.”

Li Su explained, “I’m not unhappy because of that. I’m worried about your grandmother.”

Huo Xuanye’s pounding heart settled upon hearing this. “My grandma adores my brother. Now that he’s back safe and sound, she’s doing just fine. Even if we don’t go pick her up, she won’t be mad.”

Why was Huo Xuanye acting so innocent at this moment?

Li Su didn’t want to hide it from him. “Then brace yourself, your grandmother doesn’t like me very much.”

“She doesn’t like you? How is that possible?”

Huo Xuanye couldn’t resist pinching her cheek. “My wife is so adorable, how could anyone in this world not like you?”

Li Su’s ears flushed pink. “I’m not RMB, not everyone has to like me.”

“That’s not right. Even the famous Mr. Ma once said he didn’t like money. If even RMB can’t win everyone over, then her not liking you is her problem.” Huo Xuanye leaned closer to Li Su’s ear. “Compared to me, she’s always preferred my brother anyway.”

“Isn’t it funny how fate works? The two people she doesn’t like ended up married.” Huo Xuanye seized the chance to hold Li Su’s hand. “Don’t worry, I’m on your side.”

Li Su said, “It’s not about treating her like an enemy. It’s just that she always finds fault with me whenever we meet. She’s hard to please.”

“You don’t have to please her. There are plenty of servants at home to take care of her. I married you to be my wife, not to wait on her.” Huo Xuanye pressed her palm against his cheek. “Please focus your attention on your husband… me.”

The warmth from his skin sent a ripple of emotion through Li Su’s heart.

Regardless of what Huo Xuanye would actually do, just knowing he stood by her side made her happy.

Her gaze softened. “Then promise me you won’t get that mole removed.”

“Why not? Wouldn’t I look more like him if I did?”

“No.”

Li Su gently traced her thumb over it. “It’s better to have a little difference.”

Not resembling him wasn’t good, but being too similar wasn’t either.

This way, somewhat alike, yet distinct was just right.

Outside the car, the scenery rushed past in reverse, but Li Su’s breathtaking beauty remained still against the blurring backdrop. To Huo Xuanye, it felt like she was the only thing left in his sight.

Li Su was actually touching his face voluntarily, her fingers so gentle. His brother had enjoyed this tenderness for so long.

He was jealous!

No… soon, it would be his brother’s turn to envy him.

Or maybe not.

If his brother never regained his memories, he’d never remember how deep his bond with Li Su had once been.

Huo Xuanye nuzzled lightly against her palm. “I’ll listen to you. I’m your husband, every part of me belongs to you. You call the shots. From now on, I’ll even ask for your opinion before getting a haircut. How’s that?”

Li Su: “???”

Huh?

That really wasn’t necessary.

Huo Xuanye’s hair was already quite short even shorter than Huo Zhenzhou’s.

Because Huo Zhenzhou preferred a slicked-back look, revealing his handsome forehead.

Li Su slowly withdrew her hand. “You can decide about your hair yourself. I change my hairstyle often, and I don’t ask for your opinion either. Your opinion doesn’t matter much to me.”

Huo Xuanye sighed. “I still can’t compare to my brother~”

Li Su: “???”

She had only thought about Huo Zhenzhou for a second, could Huo Xuanye read minds now?

“You used to give my brother advice about his hair.”

Li Su covered his mouth, “Alright, no more talking.”

Huo Xuanye caught the faint scent of pear blossoms from her palm, his gaze growing hazy again as he obediently nodded.

The moment Li Su withdrew her hand, Huo Xuanye started speaking once more.
