Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 37

Li Su arrived at the Huo Corporation at noon.

By the time she woke up, it was already 5 p.m.!

It seemed like she had slept for a long time, but in reality, she had only dozed off for an hour.

So, with Huo Xuanye being this indulgent in women, could he really secure the inheritance?

Li Su stepped out of the lounge. Huo Xuanye’s office was quiet, the photo frame she had once gifted Huo Zhenzhou still sitting on the desk, but the handwritten marriage certificate they had written together was gone.

Huo Xuanye must have left to attend to business.

Her head still groggy from sleep, Li Su debated whether to wait for Huo Xuanye to go home together, but her feet had already carried her out of the lounge.

She ran straight into Huo Zhenzhou and Zhuo Yang, who had just finished a meeting.

Zhuo Yang tactfully excused himself.

Wait, weren’t they supposed to be in the same meeting?

Before she got close to Huo Zhenzhou, Li Su had politely addressed him as “Young Master Huo.”

Later, she called him “A-Zhou.”

Now that she was married to Huo Xuanye, she should technically call him “brother.”

But staring at his face, Li Su couldn’t bring herself to say it.

After a long pause, she finally forced out, “President Huo.”

Hearing her address, Huo Zhenzhou said, “You can call me ‘brother,’ just like A’Ye does.”

Li Su smiled bitterly. Back when they were playful and teasing, she had called him “brother” before.

But that was different from now.

Huo Zhenzhou remained composed. “You’re still in the office at this hour. Seems like your trip abroad has improved your relationship.”

Li Su replied, “I learned from you. Now that we’re married, of course, I should treat him better. Though we can’t be as loving and harmonious as you and sister-in-law, every couple has their own dynamic. A’Ye just likes it when I play along with him.”

Huo Zhenzhou said earnestly, “I’m happy for you, that you can leave the past behind and start anew. A’Ye is a good man.”

“I think so too.”

The moment Huo Xuanye stepped out of the elevator, he saw Li Su and Huo Zhenzhou standing face-to-face in the corridor, bathed in the warm orange glow of the setting sun.

A sharp sense of crisis surged within him.

“Wife.”

Huo Xuanye made sure they both knew he was there.

“Wife, you’re awake~”

He strode forward, openly taking Li Su’s hand. “Did you sleep well?”

Li Su shot him a glare. “What do you think?”

Huo Xuanye pulled her into his arms. “My bad, I didn’t let my wife rest properly at noon. We’re newlyweds, after all. Brother, you should understand, right?”

“Try not to let it interfere with work in the future.”

With that, Huo Zhenzhou left.

Huo Xuanye muttered under his breath, “Guess he doesn’t get it. Is it because he’s over 25 and can’t keep up anymore?”

“Don’t look at me, I wouldn’t know,” Li Su whispered back. “They’re trying for a baby. Your brother probably cares more about quality than quantity.”

“Darling, what’s that supposed to mean? Are you saying I go at it too much, or that my performance is lacking?”

“I didn’t say that.”

Li Su was dragged back into the office. The door shut behind them, and Huo Xuanye pinned her against the wall.

“Explain. Too many times? Count them, it’s not that much. And as for quality, I think I’m doing just fine. Unless… you’re not satisfied?”

Huo Xuanye felt another wave of insecurity.

His face was the only reason Li Su had agreed to a flash marriage with him.

If he couldn’t perform in bed, how could he keep her happy?

How could she continue to see him as her brother’s substitute?

Maybe he should secretly do some research…

“Huo Xuanye, I was talking about your brother, not the two of us. Why are you getting so worked up?” Li Su gave him a meaningful look. “Can’t you keep your mind clean for once? Must it always be filled with indecent thoughts?”

With a beauty in his arms, if he didn’t entertain some improper ideas, he wouldn’t be a normal man.

Huo Xuanye pressed on relentlessly, “Then tell me, how was my performance?”

Li Su sighed, “Is it really that important?”

“Very.”

It would determine the direction of his future efforts.

Should he focus on increasing frequency, improving quality, or perhaps both?

Li Su’s ears tinged slightly pink. “It was… alright…”

She had never been with Huo Zhenzhou before, Huo Xuanye was her only man.

The experience had been decent.

Huo Xuanye had a strong sense of service.

Judging by her expression, Huo Xuanye could tell Li Su was satisfied.

Excited, he hugged her and planted several kisses on her lips. “Wait for me a few minutes, and we’ll leave work together.”

“Okay.”

Huo Xuanye reluctantly let her go.

Casually, Li Su asked, “What about the marriage certificate?”

“Sent it to be framed.”

After Huo Xuanye quickly signed a few documents, they left the office together.

Instead of heading home after work, they went out for dinner, just the two of them. After the meal, they caught a movie, behaving like any other couple in love. Once the movie ended, they returned home together.

On the way back, the bustling nightscape outside the window flashed by in reverse.

Huo Xuanye focused on driving while Li Su sat beside him, feeling as though even the air conditioning blew sweet, fragrant breezes.

So this was the kind of life his brother had been living all along!

How could he have forgotten Li Su after losing his memory?

Though it wasn’t exactly honorable, Huo Xuanye couldn’t help but silently thank his brother for the opportunity.

If not for his brother’s amnesia, he would have remained Li Su’s brother-in-law for life.

As they drove home, Huo Xuanye’s cheerful demeanor puzzled Li Su. Unable to decipher his thoughts, she asked, “Since your brother is getting married, shouldn’t we prepare a wedding gift for him?”

Huo Xuanye nodded in agreement. “We should. I haven’t decided what to give yet. Any ideas, honey?”

“Not really.”

“Should I handle the gift, or would you like to?”

Li Su chuckled. “If I prepare it, won’t you get jealous?”

Huo Xuanye grinned back. “Not at all! I’ve been busy lately. If you take care of the gift under both our names, I’d be thrilled, I married such a capable wife!”

Of course, he was lying about not feeling jealous.

But he was curious about what Li Su would choose for his brother.

Thinking about it from another angle, presenting a gift as a couple, felt incredibly satisfying.

Even if his brother regained his memories someday, Huo Xuanye had already won big-time.

Once home, Huo Xuanye transferred five million yuan to Li Su.

Li Su was baffled. “Why the money?”

“For the gift. Whatever’s left is yours. If it’s not enough, just let me know.”

Since when did a gift for an ex-fiancé cost five million?

The next day, Li Su invited Chi Qingche to go shopping with her.

“You dragged me out to help pick a wedding gift… for your ex-fiancé???” Chi Qingche pressed a hand to Li Su’s forehead. “Are you feverish? Forget a gift, just give him a couple of punches instead.”

Li Su laughed. “Iron fists or golden ones?”

“Li Su, you’re way too kind. If it were my ex-fiancé getting married, not crashing the wedding would be mercy enough. Why bother with a gift?”

“Because I’m trying to move on from him.”

Chi Qingche stared at her in shock.

That gentle, breathtakingly beautiful face relaxed with a look of relief.

This Li Su was worlds apart from the one who had been depressed and despondent after learning of Huo Zhenzhou’s disappearance, the Li Su everyone feared might throw herself into the sea in despair.

The Li Su now was the strong-willed woman she had always known, gentle yet resilient, capable of both deep love and fierce resolve.

“Exactly! You should let go, it’s just a relationship, not the end of the world!” Chi Qingche agreed. “Just send him anything! How about a few quilts? When Huo Zhenzhou regains his memory and hides under them to cry, at least the sound will be muffled.”

“Hahaha~”

“I’m so mean!”

Chi Qingche burst into laughter.
