Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 31

Li Su felt as if she were emanating a sacred glow, the atmosphere, the scene, it was all just so strange.

The way she felt with Huo Xuanye was completely different from how it had been with Huo Zhenzhou before.

Her fingertips traced lightly over his face. “He’s your own brother…”

“And you’re my own wife, darling. The bond between husband and wife surpasses everything. Even if he and I are blood brothers, we’re still two separate individuals with our own families and lives. My future is with you, husband and wife are one.” Huo Xuanye reveled in the gentle caress of her fingers.

Wherever she touched, it was like a stone dropping into a still lake, sending ripples across the surface.

Huo Xuanye had even secretly started looking at properties.

Eventually, he and Li Su would move out of the Huo family estate and enjoy their blissful life together.

But now wasn’t the time yet.

Li Su watched him quietly, surprised that such reasonable words could come from Huo Xuanye’s mouth.

She’d have to see him in a new light.

Yet all Huo Xuanye saw at this moment was the overwhelming desire to pin her down. His scorching heat traveled from his fingers to her ankles, then spread throughout her entire body.

Even though he was crouched on the floor now, her foot resting on his thigh, his clothes disheveled as if he were at her mercy, in truth, he was the predator lying in wait, his gaze filled with nothing but the intent to claim her.

Huo Xuanye stroked her ankle. “Am I right, baby?”

Li Su gave a slight nod. “Yes, we’re one. He and Zhou Motang are one.”

Huo Xuanye slowly rose and leaned closer to her. “Requesting to become one with my wife…”

Li Su melted like boneless silk, sinking backward into the soft mattress.

She was like a candle, and Huo Xuanye was the flame: scorching, searing, igniting her until she dissolved into a pool of liquid.

Mornings abroad were no different from those back home.

Dawn light crept in, the room silent and serene.

As time passed and the sun climbed high, someone finally stirred on the pristine white bed.

“Hungry?”

Li Su was awake, but not fully, her consciousness still drifting as she lazily buried her face against his chest. “Mm… hungry…”

So hungry.

She was starving.

But she didn’t want to move.

Her back ached.

Her legs were weak.

Even her bottom felt sore and limp.

Her whole body was exhausted.

So tired…

All because someone had too much stamina.

“Biting your husband’s pecs out of hunger, I can’t tell if you like them or not…” Huo Xuanye teased her deliberately.

She wasn’t biting his chest!

Could he stop making things up?

Her lips had just brushed against it accidentally.

“I don’t like them.”

If he was going to exaggerate, she wouldn’t let him have the satisfaction.

“Guess I’ll have to train harder then.”

Li Su: “…”

What was he planning, breastfeeding in the future?

She muttered airily, “Moderate fitness attracts the opposite sex. Excessive fitness attracts the same sex.”

Huo Xuanye instantly backtracked. “Never mind, I won’t train anymore.”

When the hotel staff delivered lunch to their door, Huo Xuanye lazily threw on a robe and got out of bed.

Li Su lay there, thinking, if Huo Xuanye was this obsessed with her, how could he still talk about fighting for the company’s inheritance?

She had actually believed his nonsense.

Huo Xuanye returned to the room, bending down to gently brush the hair from her face. “Lunch is here. Want me to carry you out?”

Li Su countered, “When are we going back?”

“Do you really want to go back that badly?”

Did she really want to go back and see his brother?

Every time she returned from performances abroad before, she had always gone to see him.

They had only been out for three days.

Li Su sat up. “I need to go back to work, sweetie~”

Huo Xuanye cupped her face and planted a kiss on her lips.

“I mean, hey, I need to go back to practice dancing,” Li Su rephrased.

She couldn’t be bothered to explain, the “sweetie” she had used was just a verbal filler, not an invitation for him to kiss her.

“We’ll go back tomorrow. Today, let’s rest at the hotel.”

He’d better mean actual rest and not dragging her into another round of exercise.

Exhausting.

She didn’t want to move at all.

How could it be more tiring than her dance practice?

Li Su casually threw on a dress and went out for a meal.

Midway through their meal, Huo Xuanye suddenly said, “Seems like we can’t go back tomorrow.”

Without looking up, Li Su replied, “If you have work, I can go back first.”

Huo Xuanye answered, “No, we have to take our wedding photos.”

Oh.

Wedding photos.

“Wifey, you said you wanted to come out and take beautiful wedding photos. You didn’t forget, did you?”

Thankfully, he remembered.

Li Su wiped her lips. “If we’re taking wedding photos, why did you leave so many hickeys on me??”

“Wifey, let’s not put it that way. I have them too.”

Huo Xuanye boldly tugged his collar aside to show her. “You bit me.”

Guess they’d have to tip the makeup artist extra tomorrow.

The makeup artist would have her work cut out for her.

And the photo retoucher afterward.

“Don’t act like you didn’t bite me too. Huo Xuanye, you’re a dog!” Li Su refused to back down.

She didn’t even need to pull her clothes aside, Huo Xuanye could already see the marks on her collarbone and shoulders.

Huo Xuanye smirked roguishly. “Yeah, I’m a dog, and you’re holding my leash.”

Smooth talker, words just rolling off his tongue.

It was hard to believe Huo Xuanye had never been in a relationship before.

No dating experience, but clearly a master of sweet nothings??

Huo Xuanye’s eyes gleamed with smugness. “Wifey, you’ll have to hold onto me from now on.”

Li Su picked up her glass and gave him a meaningful look. “I will. I’ll try my best not to let you fall into the sea and get picked up by someone else.”

Her brother’s disappearance must have left her with some trauma!

“I won’t even go near the ocean from now on!”

“Then what about our seaside wedding photos?” Li Su said flatly.

Huo Xuanye changed his mind again. “We’ll take them. I’ll hold your hand. If anything happens to us, not even the ocean can separate us.”

Li Su: “Actually, we don’t have to go. I have PTSD about the seaside now.”

She had just been going along with it.

Huo Xuanye agreed. “Same here. We should respect the ocean, respect it by staying away. We can take our wedding photos somewhere else and they’ll still be gorgeous. My wifey is already a knockout, she’ll look beautiful no matter where we shoot.”

And how lucky was he to have married Li Su?

He felt a little guilty toward his brother, but so what?

His brother had lost his memory and married someone else.

If he hadn’t seized the opportunity, someone else would have.

Li Su was a heartthrob, plenty of people adored her.

First come, first served!

The couple unanimously agreed not to take their wedding photos by the sea.

So instead, they went to a castle, a prairie, a waterfall, streets blending classical and modern styles, and a lavender field.

When Li Su had followed Huo Xuanye abroad, she hadn’t expected they’d stay for ten days.

They landed in Jing City around 8 p.m.

Airplane food wasn’t great, so the couple headed straight to a restaurant after landing.

Before their dinner arrived, Huo Xuanye stepped outside to take a call.

“Did you see the wedding invitation from the Young Master Huo? Huo Zhenzhou actually didn’t marry Li Su, it’s his younger brother marrying her instead. Do you think… that Li Su might have been secretly involved with the second young master Huo before?”

“Could be. I went to the beach to join the fun earlier, and I saw Huo Xuanye carrying Li Su!”

“Seriously?”

“Absolutely true! He even carried her on his back. Ah, nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing is more fun than playing with the sister-in-law. Heh, with the elder brother away and Li Su being so beautiful, it must’ve been hard to resist!”

As the gossiping group turned the corner of the hallway, they saw Huo Xuanye leaning against the wall under the light, talking on the phone.
