Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 56

“Grandma! Forget about my sperm quality for a second, I’m a human being, not an animal! She’s still recovering, her health isn’t great, and you want her to get pregnant and have a baby? I married her to be my wife, not a breeding machine!”

“Grandma, don’t ever say something like that again!”

“All I want is for her to fully recover.”

Huo Xuanye covered Li Su’s ears as he angrily retorted at the old lady.

The grandmother massaged her temples. “Alright, alright, it was just a suggestion. Whether you follow it or not is up to you.”

Huo Xuanye was livid. “Don’t even suggest it! She’s in the middle of recovery, going through painful rehab every day. She shouldn’t have to hear that kind of talk.”

Just hearing it made him furious.

Li Su, however, felt that Huo Xuanye had covered her ears a little too late.

She had already heard everything.

The old lady was indeed shrewd, calculating as always.

Just as she was recovering, she was supposed to have a baby?

Her legs weren’t even fully healed yet, what baby?

No way.

Huo Xuanye finally let go of Li Su’s ears. “If you’re so eager to hold a grandchild, Mom, why don’t you and Dad put in some effort? Have a third child.”

“You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Your mother and I are way past that age, what third child?” Huo Bowen snapped.

“Then stop pressuring me and Susu. We’re still young.”

One claimed to be old, the other young.

Either way, neither was in a hurry.

Huo Zhenzhou was currently in the divorce cooling-off period, so no one brought him up.

By the time breakfast ended, Li Su remained unfazed, but Huo Xuanye was about to explode.

They headed to the rehab room, where Li Su performed some simple exercises.

Huo Xuanye’s chest heaved with anger, his breathing heavy.

Li Su glanced at him a few times. “Don’t take it so seriously. You know the saying, ‘publicly agree, privately do as you please’? If they push too hard, just nod along on the surface. Whether or not we actually conceive is between us. Can anyone force us to have a baby?”

Back when Huo Xuanye had suddenly blurted out that his sperm quality was no good while holding her hand, Li Su had been stunned.

He’d acted like a complete fool.

He probably hadn’t even thought it through before saying it.

It had just popped into his head.

And out of his mouth.

Now the entire Huo family believed Huo Xuanye had poor sperm quality.

Huo Xuanye deflated like a punctured balloon, his tall frame suddenly crouching down. “My wife is so much smarter than me. I overreacted.”

Li Su tapped the tip of his nose lightly. “But the way you covered my ears was adorable.”

Gradually, Huo Xuanye calmed down. “I didn’t want you to hear those things. It’s frustrating. Your legs aren’t healed yet, and none of us can truly understand what you’re going through, your legs, your career, your stage. At the very least, no one should be bringing up demands like that, suggesting ideas like that at a time like this…”

Stupid and cruel!

He didn’t dare say those four words to Grandma’s face, though.

He’d get scolded.

“We won’t listen to her. Grandma’s in good health, if we have a baby later, she’ll still get to meet her great-grandchild.” Li Su gently stroked his face. “Now come help me with rehab.”

“Okay.”

First, she sat and did some light exercises, then slowly stood and walked.

She was still in recovery, so she couldn’t overexert herself. Rest was just as important.

Huo Xuanye only took time to handle company work while Li Su was asleep.

The moment she woke up, he’d put his laptop aside to be with her.

Autumn had arrived, and the skies over the capital had turned hazy.

On the day the divorce cooling-off period ended, Huo Zhenzhou and Zhou Motang met at the civil affairs bureau.

Zhou Motang had gone to a salon to have her makeup professionally done today, dressing up exquisitely and beautifully.

Yet Huo Zhenzhou’s gaze was indifferent, barely lingering on her.

Once they received their divorce certificates, they were completely severed from each other.

Zhou Motang clutched the divorce papers and asked, “Has her leg gotten better?”

“Hmm.”

She knew Huo Zhenzhou was a man of few words, but his coldness toward her still made her heart ache unbearably.

“Can you answer one last question for me?”

Huo Zhenzhou glanced at her coldly. “What?”

“Have you really not fully regained your memories?”

Zhou Motang had always believed that Huo Zhenzhou had remembered everything, how deeply he had once loved Li Su, and that was why he had been so insistent on divorcing her.

The lies she had told him had conveniently become his excuse.

Huo Zhenzhou replied indifferently, “No.”

He, too, wished he could fully recover his memories.

But…

Now, seeing Li Su with his younger brother, he was afraid.

Afraid that once his memories returned, his heart would be torn in two, torn between impossible choices.

Zhou Motang believed Huo Zhenzhou was telling the truth.

A man like him wouldn’t bother lying.

“Then… I guess this is goodbye.”

The moment Zhou Motang finished speaking, Huo Zhenzhou turned and left.

The chauffeur opened the car door, and he got in without looking back.

Zhou Motang stood rooted in place, tears slipping from the corners of her eyes.

The scene of their divorce was captured on camera.

Meanwhile, at home, Huo Xuanye, who was keeping Li Su company, received the photos.

A newly divorced, single wealthy woman with a massive divorce settlement, how many traps were waiting for her?

Huo Xuanye wasn’t the villain here. He was merely giving fate a little nudge.

News of Huo Zhenzhou’s divorce from his newlywed wife, Zhou Motang, spread across the internet that very day.

Though the trending topic was quickly taken down, the news had already gone viral.

When Li Su woke up and checked her phone, she saw a message from Chi Qingche:

[The eldest Huo brother got divorced??? A whirlwind marriage and divorce, who would’ve thought the great Huo Zhenzhou would become a twice-married man!]

What did it matter if he was twice-married?

With Huo Zhenzhou’s status, even if he became a four-time divorcee, there would still be women lining up to marry him.

Still, Li Su found it strange. A whirlwind marriage and divorce wasn’t exactly a glorious thing for someone like Huo Zhenzhou, so why had it spread all over the internet?

Who had leaked it?

Huo Xuanye walked in with a glass of warm water. “Here, drink up, wifey.”

Li Su’s gaze settled on his face. “Your brother got divorced today.”

“Yeah, I guess. The cooling-off period ended today.”

Huo Xuanye acted completely indifferent. “Are you happy he’s divorced?”

“Where did you get that idea?”

“True. He only got divorced, it’s not like he got his memories back.” Huo Xuanye brought the glass to Li Su’s lips.

Even feeding her water had to be done with such dominance.

Typical Huo Xuanye.

Li Su took a sip and leaned back against the headboard with a sigh.

Huo Xuanye’s eyes burned with intensity, as if he wanted to kiss her until she cried.

Why was Li Su sighing?

Did she regret marrying him in haste? If she had waited just a little longer, she could’ve married his brother after the divorce?

Did she still want to marry Huo Zhenzhou?

What was so great about a twice-married man?!

He had no intention of becoming one himself.

Li Su noticed Huo Xuanye’s intense stare. When she looked up, he smiled, completely different from the gaze he had just given her.

Truly a master of switching expressions.

“Wifey~”

“Want more water?”

Playing innocent.

Li Su couldn’t resist teasing him. “Your brother getting divorced should be a happy occasion for him. Why don’t we celebrate for him tonight?”

Huo Xuanye’s lips twitched. “How exactly would we celebrate?”

“Just a small celebration at home. We could buy some party poppers pop!” Li Su spread her hands with a bright smile. “What do you think?”

No.

Why should Huo Zhenzhou’s divorce be celebrated?

Does she still have feelings for my brother?

So jealous!

So jealous!
