Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 29

The next day.

The moment Li Su opened the door, a tall, imposing figure strode in, wrapping one arm around her while the other closed the door behind him.

Huo Xuanye advanced step by step, forcing Li Su to retreat.

She backed up until she hit the sofa, stumbling onto it with nowhere left to go.

Huo Xuanye loomed over her, his presence as overwhelming as a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Unfazed, Li Su met his gaze. “What, are you here to avenge your brother?”

Huo Xuanye’s intimidating aura shattered instantly. His finger lifted her chin playfully. “He deserved it. Why would I avenge him? My wife’s happiness is all that matters. What I can’t believe is that you actually made me sleep in the guest room last night!”

“You brought it on yourself.”

Huo Xuanye leaned in closer. “Baby, what did I do wrong?”

Li Su pressed a fingertip to his chest. “You went outside to shower on your own, letting your brother misunderstand. I just locked you out, fulfilling your wish, that’s all.”

“You were the one who left. You knew better than your brother whether the door was locked or not. When both of you were standing outside, he yelled to open the door but didn’t even try the handle to see if it would budge. You were clearly just standing there watching the show.”

Li Su smiled brightly. “Am I wrong?”

“No.”

Huo Xuanye surrendered. “My brilliant, sharp-witted wife, I can’t hide anything from you.”

“Sweet talk won’t help.”

“I’ve already been punished with a lonely night. Don’t be mad anymore, okay?” Huo Xuanye lowered his head. “I waited outside for an hour. I barely slept last night, look at the bloodshot eyes I got from it…”

Li Su smacked him lightly. “Awake now?”

“You hit me again.”

Li Su smirked, her smile teasing and alluring. “What do you mean, ‘again’? This is me spoiling you, indulging your kinks~”

Huo Xuanye’s gaze turned hazy. “Then promise you won’t lock me out again. Punish me however you want.”

His left hand slid down to her slender calf, massaging gently before guiding her foot to rest on his knee.

The motion was sensual, charged with implication.

His voice dropped to a murmur. “Next time I make you angry, baby, you can hit me, scold me, step on me in high heels…”

“Step where?”

“Wherever my baby wants.”

That smug grin made her want to stomp on his face.

“Forget it. I’d hate to accidentally kill you, not worth the murder charge.” Li Su pressed her foot lightly against his knee a few times. “Go get changed. Don’t forget we’re flying out today.”

“I didn’t forget.”

Huo Xuanye bent down, pressing a soft kiss to her knee before finally heading off to change, satisfied.

Li Su  muttered under her breath, “Pervert.”

Waking up and getting to tease his wife first thing in the morning, what a perfect start to the day.

Li Su and Huo Xuanye left the country.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhenzhou still accompanied Zhou Motang to the bridal shop. After last night’s incident, her constant nagging had convinced him that skipping out would be unfair to her.

“Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, welcome!”

The staff were sharp-eyed. Though the bride Huo Zhenzhou had originally come to order a wedding dress for wasn’t the current one, the wedding was still happening.

News of Huo Zhenzhou marrying someone else while Li Su wed his younger brother had spread like wildfire online, everyone knew.

The manager smiled. “Ms. Xiao has preselected a few gowns. The bride can start by trying those.”

Zhou Motang held onto Huo Zhenzhou’s arm and said, “I don’t know much about wedding dresses. Could you introduce some to us?”

“Of course.”

The store manager smiled and began explaining to the couple:

“This wedding dress is from the Spanish luxury bridal brand Pronovias, known for its simple and modern style.”

“This one is from the renowned Lebanese brand Elie Saab, which emphasizes luxury, elegance, and a dreamy, ethereal charm.”

“This piece is also from a Lebanese designer brand, Zuhair Murad, featuring a classic and opulent Baroque court style.”

“This wedding dress is from the U.S., founded by Oscar de la Renta, blending traditional and contemporary elements, with a focus on lightweight bridal wear.”

Listening to the manager’s introduction, Zhou Motang’s previously gloomy mood lifted considerably.

Even without going abroad, she could wear wedding dresses from international luxury brands. The Huo family was wealthy, and Huo Zhenzhou was the eldest son of the family. This wasn’t just her wedding, it was also Huo Zhenzhou’s.

She had been worried that her rushed wedding preparations would make the event too simple.

But that wasn’t the case. Now, she represented the Huo family as well.

Her wedding with Huo Zhenzhou would be luxurious and grand, and she would be the most beautiful bride that day.

Huo Zhenzhou withdrew his arm. “Go try them all. You can pick several styles.”

On the wedding day, she would definitely need to change dresses.

“Okay.”

Huo Zhenzhou sat on the sofa, waiting for Zhou Motang to try on the dresses. Besides the gowns, she would also test different makeup looks, a lengthy process.

He had brought his laptop and immediately immersed himself in work.

When Zhou Motang stepped out in the first dress, the curtain opened, but unlike other men who couldn’t take their eyes off their brides, Huo Zhenzhou kept his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

“Mr. Huo, the bride has changed into her dress,” the manager reminded him.

Zhou Motang stood nervously as Huo Zhenzhou finally looked up at her.

With a sweet smile, she asked, “Honey, do I look good?”

“You look beautiful.”

If she looked beautiful, why didn’t he spare her more than a glance?

What work could be so captivating?

Yet, she felt relieved that, at least for this moment, Huo Zhenzhou hadn’t thought of Li Su.

Perhaps they had tried on wedding dresses together before.

By the time Zhou Motang tried on the third dress, she stepped out only to find Huo Zhenzhou gone, no trace of him on the sofa.

“Tangtang~”

“Something came up at the company, so he had to leave. That’s why he asked me to come keep you company. I hope you’re not upset. On the wedding day, he’ll get to see our gorgeous bride properly.”

Xiao Qiyu suddenly appeared, and Zhou Motang’s mood brightened instantly. “Mom, I understand. Work is important.”

“With you here, I won’t feel lonely.”

“Tangtang, you look absolutely stunning all dressed up,” Xiao Qiyu circled around her. “All that skincare and maintenance wasn’t for nothing, you should keep it up.”

“Mhm.”

The life of a wealthy socialite was truly indulgent.

Facials, manicures, and skincare treatments could all be done at home with professionals coming to serve her.

She didn’t even have to spend a single penny, everything was billed to Xiao Qiyu’s account.

Even in summer, she never felt the heat, wherever she went, there was air conditioning.

Everything she ate was the freshest, air-flown, and free from contamination.

At home, jewelry, clothes, and handbags filled entire walls, with new outfits every day.

No wonder everyone wanted to be rich.

It was simply amazing!!!

Meanwhile, Li Su and Huo Xuanye had also landed from their flight. They headed to a hotel to rest for the night before going to try on wedding dresses the next day.

How strange, every wedding dress fit perfectly, requiring not a single alteration when worn by Li Su.

Standing under the lights in her pristine white gown, Li Su was lost in thought when a sudden kiss on her cheek snapped her back to reality. Huo Xuanye had arrived by her side.

“What are you thinking about?” he murmured.

It was fine if she thought of her brother at other times, but on their wedding day, he wouldn’t allow her mind to wander to him.

Otherwise, he’d lose his mind.
