Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 32

Standing against the white wall, dressed entirely in black, Huo Xuanye had clearly overheard the conversation. He murmured a soft “hang up” into his phone before casually slipping it into his pocket.

Beneath his high brow, his deep, dark eyes glinted with a cold indifference, yet the corners of his lips curled upward.

A mocking, arrogant smile played on his face.

“Second Young Master Huo!”

“Second Young Master Huo, tonight-”

Before the word “good” could even leave their lips, Huo Xuanye’s fist had already struck.

Dealing with three spoiled, pleasure-seeking playboys didn’t even require half his strength. In moments, the trio was rolling on the ground, begging for mercy.

“Second Young Master Huo, we were wrong!”

“We’ll never dare to spout nonsense again!”

“Please let us go!”

Lazily leaning against the wall, arms crossed, Huo Xuanye looked down at them with disdain. “If I or my wife ever hear such talk again, I’ll assume it came from your mouths, and the consequences will fall on you.”

“We wouldn’t dare!”

“Our mouths are trash, utter trash!”

They began slapping their own faces in frantic apology.

Suddenly, the door of the private room beside Huo Xuanye swung open.

A breathtakingly beautiful face appeared in the doorway.

“Miss… Miss Li…”

“Miss Li, we were wrong! We’re sorry!”

The three immediately dropped to their knees in apology. Li Su calmly observed their bruised faces and battered bodies before Huo Xuanye’s handsome face abruptly blocked her view.

With his back to them, Huo Xuanye let them scramble away.

Li Su asked softly, “What happened?”

“Taught a few blind idiots a lesson.” Huo Xuanye held out his hands to her. “Punching them hurt my hands, wifey~ Blow on them for me?”

Li Su perfunctorily blew twice. “What did they say?”

“Nothing worth hearing. Don’t bother.”

Huo Xuanye alone was enough to bear it.

He would remember.

Those men, and their families, would never again be involved in anything related to the Huo family.

They were now on his blacklist.

Since Huo Xuanye refused to elaborate, Li Su didn’t press further.

His combat skills were impressive, taking on three without a scratch, still able to joke around with her afterward.

Terrifying.

She wondered, if Huo Xuanye fought her brother, who would win?

They returned to the private room as waiters began bringing in their dinner.

After ten days abroad, she missed the taste of home.

Li Su picked up her chopsticks and started eating, while Huo Xuanye seemed distracted.

If those men dared to discuss it openly, who knew how many others were whispering behind their backs?

Yes, he had harbored feelings for Li Su in the past.

Yes, he had carried her, held her before.

But that was only because, back then, when her brother went missing, Li Su had been so grief-stricken she fainted.

Was he supposed to leave her lying on the beach instead of taking her to the car, to the hospital?

He didn’t care what people said about him.

But he worried Li Su would feel upset if she heard the rumors.

Li Su sipped her water leisurely. “Aren’t you eating? You keep staring at me, is there food on my face?”

“There is.”

“Hmm?”

Huo Xuanye’s gaze burned. “You’re my food.”

Li Su: “…”

She shouldn’t have asked.

This smooth-talking man.

If he had the guts, he could skip dinner and just…

But eating her alone wouldn’t work either.

During their time abroad, they had spent every day taking wedding photos, smiling until their faces ached. By the time they returned to the hotel and showered, they collapsed into sleep. As for marital activities… they’d only managed it once the entire trip.

After finishing their meal, by sheer coincidence, they ran into Huo Zhenzhou in the hotel lobby as he was attending a social engagement.

“Bro!”

Huo Xuanye greeted him openly.

“You’re back,” Huo Zhenzhou replied calmly.

Huo Xuanye smiled. “Bro, mind if we hitch a ride? I won’t bother calling the driver.”

Li Su: “…”

If Huo Xuanye didn’t care, why should she?

Huo Zhenzhou was equally unfazed. He took the front passenger seat, leaving the back for the couple.

Huo Xuanye held Li Su’s hand, resting it on his thigh, idly stroking it as the car smoothly headed toward the Huo residence.

Li Su had been sitting upright at first, but the ride was too dull, and no one spoke. She tilted her head, leaning against Huo Xuanye’s shoulder, closing her eyes as if dozing.

“Baby, tired?”

“A little.”

“Let me hold you.”

Before Li Su could refuse, Huo Xuanye had already pulled her onto his lap. “Sweetheart, my legs will always be your seat. Don’t be shy.”

Was he doing this on purpose?

What was the point of provoking Huo Zhenzhou like this? He didn’t even remember.

Li Su couldn’t be bothered to struggle. She sat facing him on his lap, burying her face in his chest.

Huo Xuanye seized the chance to wrap an arm around her waist, pressing a light kiss to her forehead. “You say you don’t like my pecs, but here you are,” he murmured.

“Shut up.”

Huo Xuanye grinned lazily. “Bro’s not an outsider. He’d be happy to see us so loving.”

Li Su pinched his waist discreetly.

Shut up, shut up!

Huo Xuanye endured the pain silently.

The driver stole a glance at Huo Zhenzhou through the rearview mirror.

In the past, it had been the eldest young master who was affectionate with Miss Li in the car.

Now, the eldest young master sat expressionless, clearly, his memories hadn’t returned.

Once Li Su stopped pinching him, Huo Xuanye started acting up again. “Wifey, you’d bless Brother and his wife too, right? Just like me?”

Li Su mouthed for him to shut up, her eyes glinting with annoyance.

So cute!

She looked like a little rabbit with its fur puffed up.

Huo Xuanye couldn’t resist pinching her cheek.

Li Su retaliated by pinching his waist through his shirt.

Neither would yield.

What loving couple? They were more like rivals on the battlefield.

Huo Xuanye didn’t let go, and neither did Li Su.

It hurt!

He hadn’t even used much force, why was she pinching him so hard?

Huo Xuanye relented first, and Li Su released him immediately.

He was sure the spot on his waist had turned red.

Huo Xuanye looked at Huo Zhenzhou in the front. “Bro, if you ever made your wife mad and fought, would she lock you out?”

“No.”

“See, wifey?” Huo Xuanye pouted. “We should be like that too. Even if we argue, we should talk it out. Fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot, no separate rooms. It’s bad for the relationship.”

What relationship?

You’re the one damaging it.

“If we don’t separate, I’ll just go back to my parents’ house. You can talk to my brother, I’m sure he’ll have a nice, thorough chat with you,” Li Su said sweetly.

“Brother-in-law is… yeah, he’s really something. Brother-in-law…”

Huo Xuanye nodded solemnly. “Right, brother-in-law. How could I dare to ‘chat’ with him? I’ll listen to whatever he says.”

“Wait, no… how about I just try not to make you mad, okay?”

“Wifey, we agreed, if you’re angry, you can punish me.”

The high heels she had given Li Su abroad had never touched the ground.

She had to respect his kink!!

“Bro, did your family have any disciplinary rules when you were kids? Why does your brother seem to enjoy being punished so much? Does he have a masochistic streak?” Li Su spoke to Huo Zhenzhou, but her eyes were fixed on Huo Xuanye in front of her.

Huo Zhenzhou tried hard to recall, memories surfaced of him and Huo Xuanye being punished together, standing side by side, getting their palms smacked, crying together, then laughing together.

Rubbing his temples, Huo Zhenzhou tried to remember more.

The driver glanced at him from the corner of his eye. “Young Master, did you remember something?”
