Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 57

When the wife says to celebrate, how can we not celebrate?!

Huo Xuanye waved his hand grandly and personally wrote a banner.

Thus, when Huo Zhenzhou returned home, the butler Uncle Xu and the servants unfurled a red banner.

It read: Congratulations to my brother on his divorce and return to singlehood!

Huo Xuanye perfunctorily twisted a party popper, which exploded with a bang, showering the cold-faced Huo Zhenzhou with colorful confetti.

Before Huo Zhenzhou could get angry, Huo Xuanye said, “Bro, my wife said we should celebrate for you. You can’t refuse your sister-in-law’s kindness.”

Huo Zhenzhou’s icy gaze swept over Li Su on the sofa. “Thanks.”

Li Su: “…”

Huo Xuanye, you big blabbermouth.

Huo Xuanye consoled him, “Bro, out with the old, in with the new. She wasn’t right for you. Someone as outstanding as you will find another girl.”

“Bro, I’ll drink with you tonight.”

The brothers really ended up drinking that night.

Li Su ignored them. After dinner, she leaned on her crutch and returned to her room.

Half-asleep, she felt a scorching presence press against her, a heavy arm draping over her waist as he nuzzled against her back, his voice husky and low as he called out:

“Wife~”

“Susu~”

“Baby, I love you so much~”

“Baby~”

“You’re mine, all mine~”

It had been over two months since her injury, and she wasn’t as fragile as when she first returned to the Huo residence, so Huo Xuanye was now allowed to sleep in the same bed.

Li Su murmured softly, “Are you drunk?”

“Nope~”

“Wife, I have a high alcohol tolerance~”

He’d only get drunk if he wanted to.

“Dad wouldn’t let me drink too much! He scolded me, saying my health is bad and I shouldn’t drink so much. What if I really can’t have kids in the future?”

“Haha, wife, isn’t he dumb? He doesn’t even know I was lying to him~”

“Wife is still recovering, so we’re not having a baby now~”

Huo Xuanye clung to her, rubbing against her like a kneading kitten. “Even though I really want a baby with you, I’m a good husband. I respect my wife’s wishes~”

Li Su chided him softly, “Huo Xuanye, you liar~”

Huo Xuanye’s voice deepened. “When have I ever lied to you…”

Li Su: “You said before that you didn’t like kids.”

“Oh, did I say that? Well, if I did, then I take it back. If my wife likes them, I like them. I’m a wife simp.”

Li Su turned over to face him.

Huo Xuanye smelled of shower gel, he must have bathed.

If he could shower and safely make it to bed, he probably wasn’t that drunk.

So what was he doing now?

Three parts drunk, acting like he’s ten?

Li Su patted him. “Go to sleep. Stop talking.”

“Goodnight, wife.”

“Goodnight.”

The next morning, Huo Zhenzhou was absent from the breakfast table.

Huo Xuanye was shocked. “No way? My brother hasn’t woken up yet? Did we really drink him under the table last night?”

“Dad, after you kicked me out, did you keep drinking with my brother?”

Huo Bowen’s expression darkened. “No. He left early this morning to catch a flight, business trip to California.”

After the divorce, the workaholic was back.

Huo Xuanye nodded. “It’s pretty chaotic over there lately. He should be careful!”

“After everything that’s happened, a change of scenery is good for him.”

“Throwing himself into work is better than running wild outside.”

The old master and mistress sighed with mixed emotions.

With Huo Zhenzhou away, Huo Xuanye had to go to the company.

But he couldn’t stop worrying about Li Su.

Li Su comforted him in return, “Go ahead. It’s been over ten weeks since my injury, and I can walk slowly on my own now. With so many servants at home, don’t worry~”

Her injury happened on August 29th, and today was already November 11th, the day of the e-commerce frenzy, the crazy shopping festival.

“I’ll just attend a few meetings and come right back.”

Huo Xuanye kissed her. “Call me if anything comes up.”

Li Su wasn’t a child, yet Huo Xuanye kept looking back at her reluctantly as he left.

After Huo Xuanye was gone, Li Su did a few simple rehabilitation exercises under Xiao Qiyu’s care before returning to her room to rest.

Leaning against the headboard, Li Su tuned into Chi Qingche’s livestream.

As a beauty blogger, Chi Qingche was demonstrating makeup on the show.

Li Su watched her best friend’s livestream and sent her a few virtual gifts.

As she watched, she heard footsteps.

Thinking Huo Xuanye had returned so soon, she looked up only to see her brother.

Li Su typed a message on the screen: “My brother came to see me.”

Chi Qingche saw the comment, Li Chen had gone to the Huo residence!

“Alright, everyone, that’s it for today. Signing off now, bye-bye!”

Chi Qingche ended the livestream instantly.

Li Su smiled sweetly. “Brother, what brings you here?”

“Because Huo Xuanye isn’t home.”

Li Su pretended to be upset. “Do you dislike him? You only love me when he’s not around.”

Li Chen explained, “It’s because he’s not home that he asked me to come keep you company.”

Oh~

So that’s how it was.

Since when had their relationship gotten so good?

With her brother here, Li Su naturally couldn’t stay in bed. She pushed the covers aside and prepared to get up.

Li Chen handed her the crutches, watching her walk slowly. A pang of sorrow welled up in him, even a tough man like Li Chen couldn’t help but feel like crying when he saw his sister, who should have been shining on stage, now relying on crutches.

His sister was so strong.

But that didn’t mean the person who hurt her could atone for it with just a few years in prison.

The siblings sat by the balcony, brewing tea and chatting.

“Hey~”

“I’m here too.”

Both turned their heads to see Chi Qingche smiling shyly.

She had rushed over the moment her livestream ended, Li Chen was still here!

Chi Qingche sat beside Li Su. “How’s your leg?”

Li Su: “I can walk.”

“Walking isn’t enough, you need to be able to run and jump too.” Chi Qingche gently touched Li Su’s leg, her voice filled with indignation. “Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!”

“Brother Chen, now that the bastard’s in prison, can’t we break his legs?”

Chi Qingche had the face of a sweet, innocent girl, yet her words were shockingly ruthless.

Li Chen held a steaming cup of tea and said nonchalantly, “Who told you his legs aren’t broken?”

Li Su and Chi Qingche both turned to look at him.

Li Chen remained unruffled. “The detention center doesn’t just hold him alone. If you offend someone inside, getting beaten is normal.”

And Zhou Zhanpeng had been beaten more than once.

That meant more than just Li Chen had paid to have him beaten, Huo Xuanye was probably involved too.

“Really? Really?” Chi Qingche was thrilled. “His legs are broken?”

Li Chen smiled without answering.

Brother Chen was actually keeping them in suspense.

Chi Qingche was certain. “Then it must be true! Su Su, Brother Chen got revenge for you!”

Li Su rested her hands on her legs. Even if Zhou Zhanpeng’s legs were broken, the damage he had done to her was irreversible.

She was a dancer, her legs meant everything to her.

“Thanks, brother.” Li Su forced a faint smile.

Li Chen couldn’t bear to hear that kind of talk; all he wished for was Li Su to be safe and healthy her entire life.

Li Chen answered the phone and left.

Li Su watched Chi Qingche eating and asked, “You rushed over right after your livestream ended, and you’re satisfied with just saying a few words?”

Chi Qingche handed her the warm chestnuts. “Very satisfied~”

Alright then~

The secret feelings of a crush, she didn’t understand them.
