Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 75

A few days after Christmas, New Year’s Day arrived.

On New Year’s Day, Huo Xuanye and Li Su went out for a dinner date at a restaurant.

After the meal, they got into the car.

Li Su settled into the passenger seat, while Huo Xuanye picked up a document folder from the back and handed it to her.

“Wife, your gift.”

On the day after Christmas, Li Su had slept until noon before getting up to unwrap her presents. The diamonds and jewelry Huo Xuanye had given her were so dazzlingly abundant.

Today’s gift was clearly not jewelry.

Li Su opened it.

Inside were a property purchase contract and a deed of gift.

Huo Xuanye had bought it outright, explicitly stating that it was not part of their marital assets but solely owned by the wife.

Very thoughtful.

Li Su flipped through the contract. “A 200-million-dollar luxury apartment, just like that?”

They had planned to look at properties together, but she had been too busy with rehabilitation and hadn’t gone, so Huo Xuanye had made the decision himself.

At a red light, the car stopped, and Huo Xuanye turned his head. “Wife, I just have one request, you can’t kick me out in the future, okay~”

“That depends on whether you argue with me or not.”

Huo Xuanye pouted. “How would I dare? Even if we argue, can I at least sleep on the sofa? Getting kicked out is pretty embarrassing.”

Li Su remained calm. “That depends on how bad the argument is.”

“If I argue with you, you can just slap me.”

Li Su: “…”

Is that arguing or rewarding him?

Li Su felt there was something else inside the folder. She reached in and pulled out a card. “What’s this?”

“The key card.”

Li Su laughed. “Key card?”

Huo Xuanye’s ears turned red. “I was thinking of staying out with you tonight. Is that okay?”

“Hmm…”

As the car started moving again, Li Su pondered.

Huo Xuanye glanced at her several times out of the corner of his eye. “Just for a change of pace.”

Li Su twirled the key card. “What do you mean by that? We haven’t even been married that long, are you already bored?”

“No, I-”

Ugh!

He had just promised not to argue.

“I just want to experience all kinds of things with you, together.” Huo Xuanye thought Li Su would like the idea.

She didn’t.

Because of her dancing, Li Su traveled to all sorts of places.

Staying in hotels was nothing new to her.

But staying in one with him might still be a fresh experience?

Huo Xuanye resigned himself. “It’s fine, we can just go home.”

“You sound so pitiful~” Li Su suddenly changed her tone. “But I never said I wouldn’t go.”

“Go?”

“Go.”

Huo Xuanye instantly perked up.

“You’ve already booked it, wouldn’t it be a waste not to go?”

Huh?

Since when did Susu develop a thrifty virtue?

Maybe he could plan more outings in the future.

Once they entered the hotel, the two became inseparable.

From the doorway to the sofa, and from the sofa to the bed.

In stark contrast to their fiery passion was the study back at the Huo residence.

Unlike the bright, spacious study during the day, only a floor lamp illuminated the room at night. Huo Zhenzhou sat alone at the desk, his computer screen glowing, but his attention wasn’t on it. Instead, he aimlessly scrolled through his social feed, something he never used to do.

Li Su updated her feed frequently.

But tonight, she hadn’t posted anything.

Huo Zhenzhou’s finger paused on the screen.

[Helping impoverished mountain regions at tonight’s charity auction, this diamond butterfly brooch is absolutely stunning! Planning to give it to Mom.]

The post was from one of Huo Zhenzhou’s classmates.

At first glance, the butterfly brooch looked familiar to him.

When he zoomed in on the details, his heart shattered on the spot.

It was the one he had given to Li Su.

Li Su had sent all the gifts he gave her to auction!

Huo Zhenzhou logged onto the website and quickly spotted the updated auction items posted that evening.

Apart from the butterfly brooch, there were also the bracelet, tiara, necklace, earrings, and other pieces he had once given Li Su.

Every single gift he had given her, she wanted none of them!

Quietly sending them to auction to extract their last bit of value?

In the dimly lit hotel room, two bodies pressed close together.

The screen of Li Su’s phone lit up behind her.

Ever since she had last muted it, she never turned the sound back on.

Li Su was completely unaware of the incoming call.

Huo Xuanye’s finger swiped across the screen, answering it.

He kept the screen face down.

“Wife~”

“Can we spend every New Year’s Eve together from now on?”

Li Su’s gaze was hazy as she looped her arms around his neck. “No~”

This wasn’t the response Huo Xuanye had expected.

He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice rough. “If you don’t want to spend New Year’s Eve with me, who do you want to spend it with?”

“Mmm… Once my leg recovers, I might be performing on shows during New Year’s~”

Oh, that’s what she meant!

Huo Xuanye nearly had a heart attack.

Between kisses, he murmured, “Baby, wherever you go for performances, I’ll be there waiting for you. If you’re on stage, I’ll be in the audience watching. I won’t let you spend it alone.”

“Mmm~”

Huo Xuanye: “Promise?”

“Mmm.”

“Baby, I love you~”

“I like you so much…”

“You smell so good~”

Li Su felt sticky with sweat, how could he think she smelled good?

She found Huo Xuanye a little odd tonight. “You’re talking so much…”

Huo Xuanye persisted, “Baby, do you think my kissing is better or my brother’s…?”

Why did he stop?

He had asked this question many times already.

Seemed like he really cared about it!

“You… Your kissing is better-”

Huo Xuanye didn’t dare ask, Li Su, do you like my brother more or me more?

He was afraid of hearing an answer he didn’t want.

This was enough. He didn’t want his brother to hear too much.

Some time later, Huo Xuanye carried Li Su, freshly bathed, back to bed.

Curled up in his arms, she found a comfortable position and fell asleep.

Huo Xuanye quietly picked up her phone, the call log showed only ten minutes.

He deleted the record.

Satisfied, he hugged Li Su and closed his eyes.

Now his brother should finally give up!

After New Year’s, Li Su received a call from Qiao Ni about a client and headed to the dance studio.

Walking into the meeting room, she immediately recognized the familiar figure by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Huo Zhenzhou stood there, impeccably dressed in a suit, exuding an aloof and distinguished aura.

A man who had regained his memories and gone through a divorce carried a uniquely pitiable air.

Li Su spoke calmly, “President Huo.”

Huo Zhenzhou turned. “You’re calling me President Huo?”

Li Su explained, “Aren’t you here to discuss business? For work, of course, it’s President Huo. At home, I can call you brother.”

As she took a seat, Huo Zhenzhou couldn’t help but ask, “You auctioned off all the gifts I gave you before.”

“No, I didn’t.”

Huo Zhenzhou’s expression softened slightly. “You kept some?”

Li Su lifted her gaze. “Some I threw away.”

Huo Zhenzhou: “…”

This wasn’t humor, it was a knife to his chest!!!

Li Su offered a polite smile. “President Huo, let’s discuss business.”

Huo Zhenzhou composed himself. “The company’s annual gala, we’d like to invite your dance troupe to perform.”

“Sure, but the timing might not work out.” Li Su opened her phone. “On my end, I’m only free on the 16th, 23rd, and 29th. The rest of my schedule is packed.”

“Su Su! Big news!”

Before Huo Zhenzhou could respond, Qiao Ni burst into the meeting room.
