Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 82

While waiting, Chi Qingche felt too embarrassed to look at Li Chen, so she chatted with Li Su on her phone instead.

[Qingqing: It’s just the two of us!!! A private room! What should I say?]

[Susu: Say, “I like you. Will you go out with me?”]

Chi Qingche’s ears burned bright red.

[Qingqing: Li, my gorgeous beauty, I don’t dare! ]

[Susu: Then you’ll just have to take it slow and steady~ Wishing you success. May you conquer my brother soon!]

[Qingqing: Do you think I have a chance?]

[Susu: Only my brother can answer that. Go for it! ()]

Mhm!

Go for it!

Since her crush couldn’t stay hidden, she might as well chase him boldly!

If she didn’t make a move, she’d only end up being invited to Li Chen’s wedding someday.

Soon, two dishes arrived.

Chi Qingche obediently put her phone away, no phones during meals.

The view across the table, Li Chen, was even more appetizing than the food.

Li Chen noticed her gaze. “Don’t just stare at me. Eat more.”

Before, when she hadn’t been caught, she’d always stolen glances at him.

Now, she didn’t bother hiding it.

She stared openly, unabashedly.

Chi Qingche lowered her head shyly. “Okay.”

After the meal, it was time to go home.

A car pulled up outside the restaurant.

Li Chen opened the door. “Tell the driver where you want to go, and he’ll take you.”

Chi Qingche reflexively asked, “What about you?”

Li Chen stood beside the car. “I have work.”

Right…

With such a big company to run, a domineering CEO like him was always busy.

Unlike her, a carefree idler.

Chi Qingche got into the car obediently, waving reluctantly. “Then… bye~”

“Bye.”

Li Chen closed the door.

Chi Qingche covered her face, Li Chen was such a gentleman!!

Thrilled!

Overjoyed!

Ahhhhh…

“Miss Chi, where should I take you?”

The driver’s voice pulled her out of her blissful daze.

“Home, the address is…”

After giving the address, Chi Qingche leaned back comfortably into the plush leather seat.

This was her first time riding in Li Chen’s car alone!

His personal car!

How was this any different from entering Li Chen’s room?

Even his car smelled amazing.

Meanwhile, Li Su’s claim of having something to do wasn’t a lie.

She really was busy.

That afternoon, the Dance Beyond Limits program team was scheduled to shoot promotional photos.

First, individual shots, then group photos.

During the group shoot, conflict arose.

After a few takes, neither Zhao Bo nor Lu Jun was satisfied.

Zhao Bo suggested, “How about Lu Jun and I sit, while you two beauties stand on either side? You’re both in gorgeous dresses, standing would look best.”

“You want to be in front and the center? Why should you get the C-spot?” Lin Yaoqing retorted. “I disagree.”

Zhao Bo frowned. “Lin Yaoqing, can’t you think bigger?”

Lin Yaoqing shot back, “And where’s your big thinking? Don’t think just because you came back from abroad with some fans, you deserve the center.”

“Li Su and I will stand in the middle, and you two can stay on the sides. Even in heels, our heights would balance out.”

She nudged Li Su with her elbow.

Li Su glanced at her.

Lin Yaoqing waggled her eyebrows, then leaned in to whisper, “We might not get along usually, but now’s the time to unite against outsiders. The C-spot can’t go to them!”

She couldn’t stand the sight of them.

Li Su simply remarked, “Putting the prettiest in the center makes the whole group look good. I agree.”

She just wanted to finish early and go home.

Ugh!

Lu Jun stood in the center, arms crossed. “I admit you’re beautiful, but I heard you’re injured. Are you really fit to be a mentor?”

His gaze was disdainful. “Out of the four of us, you’re the most useless, aren’t you?”

Li Su didn’t get angry, instead, she smiled. “Oh, is that so?”

“A dance show will definitely have difficult moves. Right now, you can only manage simple ones, right? How are you going to teach and guide them then?” Lu Jun scoffed. “Am I wrong?”

“Not wrong.”

Li Su casually took a seat on one of the chairs. “Just because I can’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t call in reinforcements.”

Seeing Li Su sit, Lin Yaoqing followed immediately.

There were only two chairs.

With both of them seated, the other two had no choice but to stand.

So simple, just strike first.

Zhao Bo and Lu Jun were fuming.

They shot a look at the show’s director across from them.

The director shrugged helplessly.

Don’t drag me into this!

One was the young miss of the Li family, the other the young miss of the Lin family. These two weren’t just darlings of capital, they were the capital.

Li Su came with sponsorships from both the Li and Huo corporations, and Lin Yaoqing had her own backing too.

Though Zhao Bo and Lu Jun also had financial supporters behind them, compared to the sums Young Master Li and Second Young Master Huo were throwing around? It wasn’t even close.

They were giving more than what was even allocated to Li Su herself.

Lin Yaoqing crossed her arms, her expression the very picture of a spoiled young lady. “Start shooting.”

If you’re unhappy, tough luck!

The photographer snapped away without hesitation.

Lin Yaoqing leaned in close to Li Su’s ear. “Who are you calling in?”

Li Su smiled. “Secret.”

Lin Yaoqing huffed. “What’s with the mystery? Calling for help is no fun.”

Li Su: “No rule says I can’t.”

Lin Yaoqing: “Don’t think you’re the only one who can. I can call people too!”

Li Su: “You’re not injured. You can handle it yourself.”

Lin Yaoqing smirked mischievously. “Nope, I’m calling someone anyway. Preferably the person you want, just to take them first.”

Li Su: “…”

Who was it that just said they’d stand united with her? Now she was snatching people away.

By the time the promotional photos were done, it was already late.

Li Su turned down Lin Yaoqing’s dinner invitation and headed straight home.

Lin Yaoqing stood by her car, displeased. “Li Su, you’re no fun. Did marriage turn you into a husband-fearing housewife? Can’t even eat out now. Does Huo Xuanye never have business dinners?”

Li Su got into her car. “There’ll be plenty of time for meals. I need to go practice.”

“If you’re not fully healed, just rest properly! Or else you really won’t be able to dance anymore. And then I’ll laugh at you just like the others.”

“I’ll do my best not to give you that chance.”

With that, the car door closed.

Under the night sky, the dance studio’s bright lights flickered on. Li Su stood in the center, dressed in simple practice attire.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror, took a deep breath, and began her routine.

Lu Jun’s words from earlier weren’t wrong. As a judge, she was more than qualified, her resume was impeccable, filled with achievements that spoke for themselves.

But when it came to guiding others, she couldn’t demonstrate.

She could only instruct verbally.

Li Su started spinning.

Many dance routines involved turns. The motion itself was simple, but maintaining speed and control through multiple rotations was difficult.

As she spun, suddenly,

Thud!

She collapsed onto the floor.

“Tch.”

“That hurts…”

Huo Xuanye, who had just returned, rushed forward in an instant and scooped her up.

Li Su recognized his familiar scent and leaned her head against his chest.

Pain was nothing.

She wasn’t afraid of pain.

Back when she was training, she’d endured far worse.

Huo Xuanye felt a damp patch on his chest. “Darling, don’t cry…”
