Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 87

Li Su glanced at Zhao Bo and Lu Jun one last time before deciding to stay.

She sent a message to Huo Xuanye.

Soon after, Huo Xuanye walked in carrying food.

Li Su eyed the several bags in his hands. “When did you buy all this?”

“Just now. I figured you’d be hungry.”

Huo Xuanye handed her a warm drink without tea.

Li Su took it. “I am a little hungry. Thanks, hubby~”

She rarely called him “hubby,” and hearing it now made his ears flush red, his heart itching with excitement.

“Don’t mention it. It’s nothing.”

Li Su and Huo Xuanye sat down and started eating.

Lin Yaoqing, who had just finished a rehearsal run, spotted them from the stage.

“I’m up here working hard, dancing my heart out, and you two are just stuffing your faces?! I asked you to watch me and give feedback! Did you even look?! Did you?!”

Lin Yaoqing roared in frustration.

“Is she always like this?” Huo Xuanye frowned, displeased.

“No.”

Li Su strongly suspected Lin Yaoqing was going through early menopause.

She should see a traditional Chinese doctor for some herbal remedies.

Being this irritable all the time wasn’t healthy.

“I watched, I watched,” Li Su replied. “Your expressions are off. Pay attention to them on the live broadcast day.”

“Again! I’ll do it again! I was just pissed off earlier!”

Lin Yaoqing stepped back to restart.

Li Su continued eating.

Dancing was exhausting, so she never restricted her diet.

With all the energy she burned, she ate a lot that night.

Every time Lin Yaoqing paused and looked down from the stage, she saw Li Su eating, sometimes even being hand-fed by Huo Xuanye.

So annoying! So damn annoying!!!

What’s so great about being married?!

From now on, no partners allowed at rehearsals!

Once she finished, Li Su commented again, “Your facial expressions still need work.”

Lin Yaoqing: Aaaahhh!!!

Meanwhile, Zhao Bo and Lu Jun, who had been doused with coffee by Lin Yaoqing earlier, had showered and changed. They had only intended to watch Lin Yaoqing rehearse but ended up spotting Li Su and Huo Xuanye.

The real focus wasn’t Li Su.

It was Huo Xuanye.

CEO Huo!

The second son of the Huo family!

The two immediately put on their most ingratiating smiles and approached.

“CEO Huo, hello! I’m Zhao Bo, one of the mentors for this show.”

“And I’m Lu Jun.”

Their grins were sickeningly sweet.

“Don’t worry, CEO Huo! Since Ms. Li is recording with us, we’ll make sure to take good care of her!” Zhao Bo pulled out his phone. “Would you mind exchanging contact info? If anything comes up, I can reach out to you directly!”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Lu Jun also whipped out his phone.

Huo Xuanye’s gaze had been tender enough to melt moments ago, but now, disturbed, his eyes flashed with impatience.

“If anything happens to my wife, the director will contact me. Just focus on your own work and don’t upset her. I’ll be dropping by often.” Huo Xuanye had zero interest in adding these people.

“But the director’s swamped! He’s got too much to oversee during live recordings. CEO Huo, Ms. Li and I are both judges and mentors, we spend a lot of time together.” Zhao Bo refused to give up.

This was a major investor!

“You two are hilarious,” Li Su remarked leisurely.

“Huh?”

Lu Jun reflexively asked, “What… do you mean?”

Since Huo Xuanye wasn’t biting, Li Su saw no reason to hold back. “Badmouthing me while trying to cozy up to my husband? Two-faced and scheming.”

“We weren’t badmouthing you!”

“No, no, we were talking about someone else!”

“Yeah, yeah! Someone else!”

“Bullshit! You two were just badmouthing us!!” Lin Yaoqing’s voice rang out.

She had somehow jumped off the stage and was now storming over in their direction.

Huo Xuanye began to wonder whether it had been the right decision to let Li Su participate in this show.

But if he didn’t let her join…

No.

She loved dancing.

This was her passion.

“Honestly, we weren’t, Mr. Huo, Miss Li. Uh, we’ll take our leave now!”

“See you later!”

The two of them bolted.

Lin Yaoqing plopped down beside Li Su, fuming. “I really want to replace those two!!!”

But Zhao Bo and Lu Jun had just returned from abroad and were currently trending.

Their presence was good for the show.

“Just bear with it,” Li Su handed her a glass of water.

Lin Yaoqing pointed at the cup. “What’s this? It’s not poisoned, is it?”

Li Su’s expression darkened.

She shouldn’t have bothered being nice.

Deciding to play along, Li Su deadpanned, “Yes! It’s arsenic! Drink it and you’ll drop dead instantly.”

Lin Yaoqing: “…”

She didn’t believe it!

In this day and age, where would anyone even get arsenic?

Li Su and Huo Xuanye left.

The car glided smoothly into the Huo residence and came to a stop at the entrance.

Once parked, Huo Xuanye carried the sleeping Li Su out of the car.

From the first floor to the second.

Just as he reached the top, Huo Zhenzhou emerged from his room in pajamas.

Seeing Li Su nestled in Huo Xuanye’s arms, he asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with her?”

Huo Xuanye kept his voice low. “She’s asleep.”

“Huo Xuanye, if she’s this exhausted, maybe reconsider letting her join that show.”

“Brother, that’s not my call. Put yourself in her shoes, if you were her husband and she insisted on going, if it was something she loved, would you lock her up at home and forbid her?” Huo Xuanye still spoke softly, not wanting to wake Li Su.

Huo Zhenzhou said, “There will be other shows in the future. Her health comes first.”

“Her happiness matters too. A good mood leads to good health.” With that, Huo Xuanye turned and carried Li Su away.

Huo Zhenzhou stood rooted in place. What right did he have to put himself in her shoes?

Every time he tried, his heart ached.

Morning sunlight spilled in, flowers blooming, their fragrance drifting through the air.

Exhausted from the day before, Li Su couldn’t remember how she’d gotten home when she woke up.

Rolling over, her memories slowly returned, and she realized she must have fallen asleep in the car last night.

So now…

Had Huo Xuanye changed her into her pajamas?

In the warm cocoon of blankets, Huo Xuanye draped her arm over his waist.

“Good morning, wife.”

His lips brushed against hers.

Li Su turned her head, letting him kiss her cheek instead.

Huo Xuanye kept his eyes closed, his warm lips trailing from her cheek to her neck.

“Mmm~”

“That tickles~”

Huo Xuanye kissed lower, his body shifting downward.

Li Su pressed a hand against his head. “No, I didn’t shower last night.”

“It’s fine.”

“I danced yesterday. I’m gross.” She patted his cheek. “Snap out of it!”

Huo Xuanye lifted his head. “Still tired?”

“Very.”

If she was tired, he wouldn’t tease her.

Maybe he should continue studying traditional Chinese medicine with that old practitioner. Then, whenever Li Su was exhausted, he could give her a few acupuncture needles to relieve her fatigue.

Gently stroking her cheek, Huo Xuanye asked, “Are you going again today?”

“No, I’m too tired…” Li Su lay sprawled on the bed. “Carry me to the shower…”

“Of course, my beautiful lady.”

Li Su skipped rehearsal, but she did visit a renovation company.

She spent the whole day outside, only managing to check out two firms.

After returning home, she casually placed the brochure on the table and began to reflect, why should she be the one handling such matters?

She could easily make a request and delegate it to someone else.

“What’s this?”

“Susu, what are you planning to renovate?”

How had the old lady and the old master suddenly returned?

Weren’t they supposed to be at the temple?
