Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 41

“I’ll give it to you! Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll go ask Huo Zhenzhou for it.”

“Dad!”

“If I get caught, I’ll be kicked out of the wealthy family.”

“He never had any feelings for me in the first place. It’s only because Grandpa saved him, and on his deathbed, Grandpa entrusted me to him, that he agreed to marry me! He thinks I have no family left in this world!”

Huo Zhenzhou was just acting out of sympathy and a sense of responsibility.

Zhou Zhanpeng hadn’t come home in two years and was usually unreliable. In Grandpa’s heart, he had long considered Zhou Zhanpeng dead.

“Where’s the five million?!”

Zhou Motang took out a card from her bag. “The password is my birthday. Dad, don’t tell me you don’t even remember my birthday?”

Zhou Zhanpeng snatched the card. “When’s your birthday?”

Hah.

Of course, he didn’t remember.

Grandpa had foresight.

A man like this was no different from being dead.

“001209.”

“Oh, oh…” Zhou Zhanpeng clutched the card. “When should I leave?”

“Today would be best!”

“You really have no father-daughter affection, Zhou Motang!”

If she had no affection, would she have come back to give him money?

“Leave now!”

She planned to stay here for a day or two.

“Wear sunglasses and a hat, disguise yourself as a tourist!” Zhou Motang reminded him.

Zhou Zhanpeng found it troublesome. “So much hassle!”

“If you want the money, listen to me.”

“Fine!”

For the sake of money, Zhou Zhanpeng endured it.

Zhou Motang stayed on the island until the next day before returning to the Huo residence.

The Huo household was bustling inside and out.

Just days ago, they had been busy preparing for her and Huo Zhenzhou’s wedding, and now they were already working on Huo Xuanye and Li Su’s ceremony.

The two brothers’ weddings were only ten days apart.

It was all quite rushed. Zhou Motang wanted to help, but Xiao Qiyu told her to rest first.

So she went upstairs to relax.

The Huo residence remained a hive of activity.

Li Su spent the whole day in the dance studio. When she returned to her office to change, the door closed behind her as soon as she stepped inside.

Startled, she felt Huo Xuanye’s presence envelop her from behind.

“Hey, wife!”

Huo Xuanye had leveled up, now he wasn’t just ambushing her in bed but also in the dance studio.

“I’m about to leave work. Why are you here?”

Huo Xuanye turned her around. “I came to ask about the message you sent me. What do you mean you’re going home for a few days?”

“For the wedding. You’ll have to come pick me up from my family’s place.”

Huo Xuanye wasn’t having it. “The wedding’s still days away. Can you go home a little later?”

He couldn’t bear to be apart from his wife!

A faint smile curled at the corners of Li Su’s lips as she tapped Huo Xuanye’s chest with her fingertip. “No can do~”

“Why not?”

“Because someone lacks restraint. On the wedding day, I want to be the most beautiful bride. Before then, I need to rest well and conserve my energy to be in perfect condition. Starting tonight, we’re living apart.”

Was it his fault for lacking restraint?

No, it was Li Su’s.

If she let him have his way every day, he’d definitely exercise restraint.

But since they didn’t have that luxury, whenever he got the chance, wasn’t it natural to go all out?

Still, Huo Xuanye didn’t dare say that. There would be plenty of time later, they hadn’t even had the wedding yet, so he couldn’t afford to argue with Li Su now.

Pouting, Huo Xuanye reluctantly compromised. “Then let me take you back to the Li family tonight. We’ll start living apart tomorrow, okay?”

Since he put it that way, Li Su couldn’t refuse.

Seeing her nod, Huo Xuanye’s cheekbones nearly lifted to the sky.

Tonight, he could once again enter her domain and sleep in Li Su’s sweet, soft bedroom.

The last time in Li Su’s room, they had kissed.

He had also taken advantage of her while she was asleep to do something naughty. Had she deleted the photos of her brother from her phone yet?

During dinner that evening, Li Chen glanced at Huo Xuanye a few times. “Why do I feel like there’s something wrong with your brain? You seem kind of dumb.”

He kept grinning like an idiot.

“Bro, I’m just happy that in a few days, I’ll be marrying Susu,” Huo Xuanye explained. “Happiness is written all over my face.”

Since when had Huo Xuanye become so shameless?

Or was Susu just too ethereally beautiful, making it effortless to wrap both brothers around her finger?

Li Chen’s only worry now was whether Huo Zhenzhou would cause a scene if he ever regained his memories.

They’d just have to take it one step at a time!

Huo Xuanye’s excitement was impossible to hide, and Li Su could feel it too.

Once the two of them entered Li Su’s room, Huo Xuanye was practically bouncing around like an overexcited puppy, itching to mark his territory everywhere.

Looking around, touching everything.

Li Su went to shower first.

If he liked it, he could admire it all he wanted.

It wasn’t his first time here, what was he so excited about?

After her shower, Li Su started her skincare routine.

Huo Xuanye, meanwhile, stood boldly behind her. “Wife, do you have pajamas for me? Or should I just come out naked after my shower?”

“Naked?”

Huo Xuanye leaned down, pressing close from behind, his lips brushing her ear as he whispered, “It’s not like they’ll stay on for long anyway.”

His warm breath tickled her ear, and Li Su tilted her head slightly away. “Mom and Dad probably prepared pajamas for you. Go get them yourself.”

“Fine.”

So much for coming out naked.

Li Su was speechless. Naked? What was he thinking? Was he really that shameless?

Such a rogue!

A complete scoundrel!

Not long after, Huo Xuanye emerged wearing only a pair of black sleep pants.

Truly, the audacity of Huo Xuanye, no shirt?

Whatever. He could wear whatever he wanted.

Li Su stole a few glances before shyly looking away.

Huo Xuanye sidled up to her with a cheeky grin. “Baby, why aren’t you looking anymore?”

“Let’s sleep.”

Huo Xuanye flashed a wicked, roguish smirk. “Going to bed so early tonight? Seems like my wife wants to play for a long time~”

Huo Xuanye turned off the lights, climbed into bed, and burrowed under the covers. “Does my wife want to try something new tonight?”

“Something new?”

“Huo Xuanye, I didn’t say anything.”

“Baby~ leave it to me.”

The consequence of leaving it to Huo Xuanye was waking up late again the next day.

Luckily, with the wedding preparations underway and being at her own home, there was nothing to fear.

“We agreed… tonight, you go back to the Huo residence, and I stay at my place…”

Huo Xuanye, still half-asleep, tightened his arms around her. “Can’t you call me ‘husband’ just once to make me happy…?”

Still drowsy, he nuzzled into her chest. Li Su ruffled his hair. “Huo Xuanye, I’m not falling for it again. What did calling you ‘husband’ get me last night?”

Huo Xuanye didn’t dare answer, but he had no problem snuggling up to Li Su and acting spoiled.

The two lingered in bed for a long time before finally getting up.

Huo Xuanye reluctantly left for work.

Today was his last day, starting tomorrow, he’d be fully focused on wedding preparations.

There were many things he couldn’t trust others with. He had to oversee everything personally to ensure nothing went wrong.

A wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event.

No regrets.

He wanted to give Li Su a perfect wedding, something she could look back on fondly even when they were old, holding his hand and reminiscing.

On the eve of the wedding, Huo Xuanye’s friends threw him a bachelor party.

Huo Zhenzhou attended as well.

The two brothers sat together, drinking.

The private room was bustling with noise, yet the air around the two brothers remained eerily still.

Huo Xuanye twirled his wine glass between his long, well-defined fingers. “Brother,” he said, “Susu and I are holding our wedding tomorrow. Will you come?”
