Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 84

The acupuncture session lasted half an hour.

The elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner came in and removed the needles.

Li Su took a few steps after getting off the bed and felt her legs much improved.

“Thank you, Dr. Xu.”

“Miss Li, you’re still in recovery. Don’t overexert your legs,” Dr. Xu reminded her.

Last night, she had been too impatient.

“Stay seated for now. I’ll see the old gentleman out.”

Huo Xuanye followed Dr. Xu out.

Li Su paced around the room when she heard Huo Xuanye’s phone chime a few times.

Hesitating for a moment, she picked up the phone, it had a passcode lock.

She entered Huo Xuanye’s birthday. Incorrect.

She tried her own birthday. Still wrong.

Why would Huo Xuanye use her birthday as the passcode?

Huo Xuanye had no idea how other men felt when their wives took their phones in their absence.

But he was delighted.

He wanted Li Su to keep tabs on him.

Only if she cared would she check his phone.

“Try our wedding anniversary.”

Huo Xuanye’s voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Su. “There were just some messages…”

“Mhm, you can read any messages sent to me.”

Huo Xuanye stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her from the back. “Go on, unlock it.”

“You’re here now, unlock it yourself.”

Li Su handed the phone back to him.

Huo Xuanye didn’t take it.

His hands were busy holding his wife!

He lowered his head, whispering against her ear, “Baby, you didn’t forget our wedding day, did you?”

“I…”

Huo Xuanye teased in a mock-wounded tone, “You couldn’t have forgotten, it was also the day your brother-in-law came back…”

“Shut up!!”

Huo Xuanye fell silent.

Li Su unlocked the phone.

A shadow flickered in Huo Xuanye’s eyes, he had known she wouldn’t forget that day.

7, 7.

As soon as the phone unlocked, a message from Old Madam Xie popped up.

Though there were several messages, they all conveyed the same thing: asking when they would move back to the Huo mansion.

Li Su scrolled through and realized Old Madam Xie had asked more than once.

Each time, Huo Xuanye had refused.

Huo Xuanye let her look. “Ignore her. We’ll go back whenever you want.”

Li Su turned around and stuffed the phone into his pants pocket. “Tomorrow is fine.”

The main reason was that the Huo mansion was closer to the TV station.

Li Su had no other thoughts.

Huo Zenzhou wasn’t even in her considerations.

Huo Xuanye held her tighter. “You’ve thought it through?”

Li Su nodded slightly. “The Huo mansion is also closer to the house we bought. Since we’re preparing for renovations, being nearby will make it easier to check on the progress.”

“Alright.”

Ah!

If only Huo Xuanye could always be this obedient.

But he never listened at night!

Sometimes, he didn’t listen during the day either.

The next day.

Huo Mansion.

The moment Li Su and Huo Xuanye stepped out of the car, Old Master Huo and Old Madam Xie came out to greet them.

“Susu!”

“You’re finally back!”

“If you hadn’t returned soon, I’d have thought you two were getting divorced too.”

Old Madam Xie excitedly took Li Su’s hands.

Huo Xuanye carried the luggage. “Grandma, that’s not a fair thing to say. How could we divorce when we live together? We weren’t even separated.”

Old Madam Xie: “You’d better not bully Susu.”

Li Su was flattered.

The old madam hadn’t treated her like this before.

Huo Xuanye was equally puzzled by his grandmother’s change in attitude. “I haven’t! Grandma, how could a grown man like me bully a delicate woman like her? We’re doing great, better than ever.”

Old Madam Xie pulled Li Su inside. “We’ve prepared all your favorite dishes. Let’s go in, no need to stand at the door.”

This was still directed at Li Su.

Not only was Li Su in disbelief, but Huo Xuanye couldn’t believe it either.

What had changed Grandma’s mind?

The old lady had finally accepted Li Su.

Seeing them get along well, Huo Xuanye set down the luggage and headed to the office to work.

At the company, he attended two short meetings.

Then returned to his office.

Zhuang Ze stood at the door, his mind full of question marks.

Had the CEO forgotten something???

He was still outside!

They still had work to do, documents that needed signing, so why was the office door locked?

Zhuang Ze had no choice but to knock.

Soon, he was met with a handsome but visibly irritated face.

Huo Xuanye opened the door and walked away.

The CEO seemed off today, acting mysteriously.

Once inside the office, Zhuang Ze realized his intuition was right.

Placing the documents on the desk, Zhuang Ze asked, “CEO, these books… why the sudden interest in traditional Chinese acupuncture?”

“Just studying up.”

Studying acupuncture?

What an unusual hobby.

“Yesterday, after the old Chinese doctor gave my wife acupuncture, her legs felt much better. So I decided to learn a bit,” Huo Xuanye explained cheerfully.

He quickly signed the documents.

“Interested in joining me?”

Zhuang Ze shook his head frantically. “No, no. When I relax, I just want to lie around at home.”

“Then you can be my practice model.”

“Model?”

“I need to practice.”

Zhuang Ze took a step back. “CEO, I think this is something best left to professionals. Madam will surely be touched by your thoughtfulness, but please don’t experiment recklessly. If you accidentally paralyze her, it wouldn’t be worth it.”

Huo Xuanye narrowed his eyes. “I won’t make you do it for free. There’ll be a bonus.”

In an instant, Zhuang Ze stepped forward, his expression turning serious and earnest, all traces of fear gone.

He declared, “CEO, who else but me? For Madam, for your love, I’m willing to sacrifice myself.”

“Don’t worry, I’m learning from the old doctor,” Huo Xuanye said smoothly, knowing exactly how to handle him. “If I accidentally paralyze you, he’ll fix it.”

Zhuang Ze: “…”

That good, huh?

“CEO, I’d give my all for work. But if I’m paralyzed, how can I work? So please, be careful with the needles.”

Huo Xuanye flipped through the books on his desk. “I’ll be doing this for my wife. Do you think I’d mess around?”

All the books had been purchased from the old Chinese doctor.

Not only that, but he also planned to study at the clinic.

“Madam is truly lucky to have such a thoughtful and caring husband.”

Huo Xuanye shot him a cold glance.

Zhuang Ze smiled. For a bonus, flattering the boss wasn’t beneath him!

Who would say no to extra money?

But Zhuang Ze soon paid the price for that bonus.

“Ahhhh!”

Huo Xuanye pulled out the needle. “That painful? Weird, Dr. Xu’s needles didn’t hurt.”

Tears welled in Zhuang Ze’s eyes. “CEO, I think acupuncture requires experience. Starting on the first day might be a bit too soon…”

He had been naive!

To actually let Huo Xuanye practice on him!

Thankfully, the office was soundproof. Otherwise, people might misunderstand if they heard agonized screams coming from inside.

“I’m just practicing on you to gain experience, aren’t I?”

Zhuang Ze felt miserable, so he was just being used to grind experience points!

Huo Xuanye picked up another needle. “Don’t be such a baby, you’re a grown man. Let’s go again.”

Zhuang Ze was terrified.

Huo Xuanye picked up his phone and tapped a few times on the screen.

A notification popped up on Zhuang Ze’s phone,  Alipay payment received: 200,000 yuan.

Zhuang Ze instantly switched expressions again. “No problem, President. I’m ready.”
