Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 86

“No.”

Li Su mercilessly rejected him.

No going out.

But kissing was allowed.

By the time Li Su came downstairs, her lips were red.

Everyone in the dining room noticed.

Li Su lowered her head, Huo Xuanye, that bastard, had kissed her way too hard.

Under the table, she kicked Huo Xuanye.

Huo Xuanye leaned closer and whispered, “What are your orders, Princess?”

Li Su replied just as quietly, “Be more mindful of appearances in the future.”

Huo Xuanye’s gaze lingered on her plump, glossy lips. “My wife is drop-dead gorgeous.”

“Does your leg hurt?”

Because she had just kicked him?

Li Su shook her head slightly. “Let’s eat.”

Huo Xuanye obediently started eating. If he listened to his wife, she might cooperate with him later that night.

Across the table, Huo Zhenzhou found the scene unbearable whether he looked or not.

The person sitting beside Li Su should have been him.

Huo Zhenzhou lowered his eyes. The food tonight was delicious, but he had no appetite.

After moving back to the Huo residence, Li Su went to the dance studio every day to prepare for the show’s performance.

On the day of the rehearsal, she arrived early.

She sat quietly in the audience, watching Zhao Bo and Lu Jun rehearse.

Young people, pushing the difficulty of their dance moves to the limit.

Regardless of anything else, Zhao Bo and Lu Jun were undeniably skilled dancers, worthy of their past roles as dance leaders in a boy band.

“Here, have this!”

Li Su looked at the iced Americano being handed to her. “Thanks, but I don’t drink this.”

“Tch! This is the good stuff! Rehearsals can go on forever, we might be here till two or three in the morning. Don’t you need coffee to stay sharp?”

Li Su gave her a deadpan look. “I’ve never liked iced Americano. I don’t drink it.”

Lin Yaoqing took a sip. “That’s exactly why I bought it for you because I knew you wouldn’t like it!”

Li Su kept her eyes on the stage. “How thoughtful of you.”

“Ugh! Why do they get so many backup dancers?!”

“Is the music supposed to be this loud? It’s deafening!”

“Honestly, their dancing is just average, and they’re panting on purpose at the end for the finale? Gross.”

“Do they actually think they’re sexy or something?!”

Li Su wanted to cover her ears.

“Li Su! Don’t you dare leave!”

The moment Li Su made a move to stand up, Lin Yaoqing caught her.

“On this show, those two are on one side, and we’re on the other. Let’s set aside our internal conflicts and unite against the common enemy.”

“Got it?”

Compared to Lin Yaoqing’s agitation, Li Su remained perfectly calm. “Is there even a competitive relationship between us?”

What did that mean??

What was Li Su implying?

Li Su didn’t even see her as competition?!

They had been rivals since childhood, and Li Su didn’t consider her a rival at all???

Lin Yaoqing was about to lose it.

“The focus of this show isn’t us, it’s the contestants,” Li Su added.

Oh.

So she meant there was no competition between the two of them and Zhao Bo and Lu Jun.

“I don’t care about that. I’m only here for the exposure,” Lin Yaoqing said, staring at the big screen. “Look at all the familiar brands up there.”

Li Su massaged her temples.

She hadn’t even known Huo Xuanye and his brother had sponsored the show. By the time she found out, the contracts were already signed.

“At least we’re not contestants, or we’d be called ‘nepo babies’!”

Li Su chuckled. “We’ve been called that plenty of times already.”

Lin Yaoqing couldn’t stop complaining, “How shameless can they be? How many times are those two going to rehearse?”

“You know what this is called? This isn’t professionalism, it’s wasting everyone’s time.”

She just couldn’t stand the sight of those two.

Li Su remained silent.

She didn’t want to talk.

She needed to conserve her energy.

Lin Yaoqing was stunned when she saw Li Su closing her eyes to rest.

How could she possibly sleep with all this noise??

The moment the music stopped, Li Su opened her eyes.

She stood up and walked toward the director.

Lin Yaoqing immediately followed.

If there was trouble, she wasn’t about to be left out!!!

“Director, they’ve been rehearsing for so long, they should take a break,” Li Su said expressionlessly. “Otherwise, if they get exhausted and word gets out, their fans might come after you.”

Director: “Take a break, take a break. Miss Li and Miss Lin, which of you wants to go first?”

Li Su: “Me.”

“Me! Me!!” The moment Lin Yaoqing heard Li Su volunteer, she jumped in to compete.

Ugh!

It had become a habit.

Ever since they were kids, she loved fighting Li Su for things.

Li Su smiled faintly. “You’ve already had an iced Americano. Not staying up late would be a waste of the caffeine in your system. I’ll go first.”

Lin Yaoqing: “…”

Was this Li Su’s reason for not drinking iced Americanos???

How could she even endure this?!

Lin Yaoqing returned to her seat to watch Li Su’s performance.

The dance moves were simple, completely devoid of flashy techniques. She was dressed plainly too, a white T-shirt and loose white pants. A chair was placed in the middle, and she danced around it before finally pushing it away.

Lin Yaoqing had a feeling this dance…

Would be beautiful.

If only Li Su changed her outfit.

Her legs hadn’t fully recovered yet, so Li Su was performing as a dancer with impaired mobility.

“That’s it? I heard Li Su won first place in the dance competition the year before last.”

“That’s only because the two of us didn’t come back to compete.”

“Exactly. There’s no real skill here, her legs probably aren’t healed yet!”

“Isn’t she some rich heiress? Does she really need to work before her legs are fully recovered?”

“Who knows? Anyway, I think the two of them dance worse than us, and they have fewer fans too. Why shouldn’t we be in the center?”

Zhao Bo and Lu Jun, sitting right in front of Lin Yaoqing, chattered away without pause.

Lin Yaoqing poured her coffee over their heads.

Both of them shot to their feet, coffee dripping from their hair.

“Lin Yaoqing! What the hell are you doing?”

“Sorry, my hand slipped,” Lin Yaoqing said with a smile. “Since you two have been dancing so much, you must be pretty sweaty anyway. Might as well take this chance to go wash up!”

“You-”

Lin Yaoqing shook her other cup of coffee. “What, do you want me to pay for your costumes? Sure, call my assistant. Put it on my tab.”

“Are you insane?! What did we do to you?”

“You think I’m deaf?” Lin Yaoqing grinned. “We don’t dance as well as you?”

“She’s just not good right now!!”

“Did I say anything wrong?”

The two of them fired back one after another.

Lin Yaoqing splashed the remaining half of her other coffee at them.

Only then did people notice the commotion and rush over to intervene.

Li Su walked over as well. “Lin Yaoqing, it’s your turn.”

Lin Yaoqing clenched her fists. “I’ll hold back.”

Once the recording was over, those two were dead meat!

She stepped in front of Li Su. “Don’t listen to what they said.”

“Mm.”

Li Su was actually being this obedient for once.

Her cool, detached gaze swept over the two now surrounded by onlookers before she said to Lin Yaoqing, “I’m leaving first.”

“Aren’t you going to watch my rehearsal?” Lin Yaoqing asked excitedly.

“My husband is waiting for me outside.”

Lin Yaoqing rolled her eyes, “Then have your husband come in and watch with us!!”

“Is that really necessary?”

“Just take a look and give me some feedback.”

“You don’t need my opinion, do you?” Li Su was shocked.

“I do!! Sit down right now!”

So fierce.

Did Lin Yaoqing eat gunpowder tonight?
