The next day, Li Su arrived at the TV station very early.
After the rehearsal, she sat in the backstage area getting her makeup done.
She lazily closed her eyes to rest, when suddenly, a familiar face appeared in the mirror.
“Can you stop appearing out of nowhere like a ghost?”
“Yesterday, I told my parents I agreed to the arranged marriage. In the evening, I met my fiancé. You know what? He’s actually quite obedient, I think he likes me. Whatever I said, he just kept nodding and agreeing, so well-behaved.” Lin Yaoqing smiled smugly.
Today, Lin Yaoqing was a world apart from the dejected version of herself from yesterday.
Li Su: “Well, congratulations in advance on your wedding.”
Lin Yaoqing leaned in closer, her eyes fixed on the mirror.
If only Li Su’s face could be hers in the next life!
It was just too beautiful.
Lin Yaoqing grinned. “Thanks! I’ll invite you to the wedding banquet.”
“I’ll be there.”
Lin Yaoqing left in high spirits.
That evening, during the live broadcast, Lin Yaoqing stole the spotlight.
She suddenly announced on the show that she was getting married.
The show’s ratings skyrocketed as everyone speculated about who the groom might be.
After the program ended, Li Su walked out of the TV station and saw Lin Yaoqing approaching a man holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
The man looked refined and shy, his ears flushed red.
Like a pure-hearted boy.
Meanwhile, Huo Xuanye, dressed in all black, leaned against his car. When he saw her approaching, he opened the car door with a backhanded gesture. “Wife.”
Li Su suddenly felt like teasing him. “Look at others, they bring flowers when picking someone up. What about you?”
Huo Xuanye glanced to the side, then pulled Li Su into his arms. “My bad. Your husband messed up. Let’s go buy flowers first, and then you can punish me hard tonight.”
Trying to earn himself a reward again, huh?
Li Su quickly pushed him into the car.
“Stop by the flower shop.”
Wait, was he actually serious about buying them?
“No, no need to stop.”
Huo Xuanye wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned in. “Why not anymore?”
“I was just saying it casually. We already have so many flowers at home.”
“That won’t do. If others have it, you should too!”
“If others are sick, should I get sick too? Not everything others have is something you need.” Li Su nestled against him. “I’m so tired. I don’t have the energy to punish you tonight.”
She was tired every day!
Every. Single. Day.
In the past month, they’d only done it twice.
One month!
Twice!
He was practically turning into a celibate monk.
Li Su rested her head against his chest, closing her eyes with exhaustion.
She had been working hard lately.
Huo Xuanye kissed her forehead and didn’t dare move, holding her like that all the way home.
By the time they reached the Huo residence, Li Su finally opened her eyes, looking dazed. “Did I fall asleep?”
“Yeah.”
Li Su looped her arms around Huo Xuanye’s neck. “After that nap, I suddenly feel recharged. Let’s go upstairs.”
With that, she kissed his cheek and got out of the car.
Huo Xuanye froze.
He wasn’t misunderstanding her, was he?
Upstairs!
Upstairs!
Wife, I’m coming!
The next day.
Huo Xuanye was playing golf with a client when he suddenly received a call from Zhuang Ze.
“Boss, boss! The eldest young master never went on a business trip, he’s right here in Jing City!”
“I just saw him coming out of a psychiatric clinic. It looks like the eldest young master is seeing a psychologist!”
“Boss, he’s getting in his car now. I’m tailing him. Hurry over!”
Huo Xuanye had someone else from the company take over with the client and rushed off immediately.
A psychologist?
He arrived at the hotel.
“He’s in here!”
“Boss, does the eldest young master have a mental illness?”
“Hiss-”
It was hard to say whether it was because he had regained his memories and discovered that his fiancée had become his younger brother’s wife.
Huo Xuanye pressed the doorbell.
Starting off with zero frames like this?
Zhuang Ze turned and walked away.
None of this had anything to do with him.
Time to leave.
Today was Saturday.
Off work.
Huuo Xuanye glanced out of the corner of his eye and couldn’t help but laugh.
The door in front of him opened.
Huo Zhenzhou’s face was damp, droplets clinging to the ends of his hair, he must have just washed his face inside.
Without a word, Huo Zhenzhou turned and went back in.
Huo Xuanye entered the room and closed the door behind him.
“Zhuang Ze said he saw you coming out of a psychiatric clinic. Brother, are you sick?”
Huo Zhenzhou sat on the sofa, silent.
Huo Xuanye took a seat across from him. “You’ve been hiding it from all of us. Mom and Dad don’t know. Since last year, you’ve been frequently traveling for work, so you were actually seeing a psychiatrist.”
“Yeah.”
He had been.
Huo Zhenzhou didn’t think it had helped much.
He would probably be haunted by this for the rest of his life.
Huo Xuanye could more or less guess the reason for his brother’s condition, but knowing was one thing, it didn’t mean he had to concede.
Li Su was his wife.
Neither he nor Li Su was had wronged Huo Zhenzhou.
He had thought his brother was the kind of person who could accept reality with grace.
But instead, he had driven himself to the brink, secretly seeking therapy.
Huo Xuanye suggested, “So have you considered my advice? Start dating someone new. Once you have a new love, you’ll forget the old one. You won’t care about Li Su anymore.”
Huo Zhenzhou’s expression flickered slightly. “You make it sound so easy. If it were you, could you just move on and find someone else so effortlessly?”
“Brother, you’re more resilient than I am. You came back with a wife. If it were me, I couldn’t do it!”
It was precisely because Huo Xuanye kept stabbing at his heart that he grew more and more depressed.
“If you two hadn’t gotten married, I might still have had a chance!”
“Brother, I don’t think so. Don’t cling to a path that was never possible. You’ve known Li Su for so long, don’t you understand her? You held another woman’s hand right in front of her, and yet you still hoped she’d forgive you and reconcile with you!” Huo Xuanye couldn’t help raising his voice.
Calm down.
Stay composed.
Brother is sick.
Huo Xuanye said, “Brother, even if it weren’t me, it would’ve been someone else.”
Huo Zhenzhou grew agitated. “Then why did it have to be you?! Because you’re my brother? Because you look like me?!”
He couldn’t stay calm!!
Screw this.
Huo Xuanye abruptly stood up. “Yes! I admit it, she agreed to marry me because I look like you! So what?!”
“Li Su is drawn to my face, and I’m drawn to her as a person. We’re both willing!”
“Brother, the only one who can save you now is yourself! I’m never divorcing her!”
“The moment you brought Zhou Motang back, you were already out of the game!”
Faced with his brother’s words, Huo Zhenzhou lifted his gaze. “She loved me first.”
The face before him bore some resemblance to his own.
They were brothers, after all, how could they not look alike?
Huo Zhenzhou stood up. “Why did it have to be you? You knew she was my fiancée, yet you still married her!”
“Because I love her! I love her!!” Huo Xuanye roared. “You married Zhou Motang out of gratitude, and I married Li Su out of love!”
“You didn’t see how heartbroken Li Su was when you went missing but I did!!”
“Didn’t you see how devastated Li Su was when you brought that woman home? I saw it too!”
“You can’t just force us apart because you missed out on the love of your life. She and I don’t owe you anything!!”
Huo Xuanye was right.
They didn’t owe him.
Everything was his own fault.
That was why he was sick.
Huo Zhenzhou collapsed onto the sofa, defeated.
Huo Xuanye took a step back. “Brother, I don’t want to make Li Su suffer. She went through hell last year, physically and mentally. I’ll pretend I never heard any of this. No one else can heal a wounded heart. You have to do it yourself.”
With that, he turned toward the door.
His hand was on the knob when Huo Zhenzhou spoke from behind him.
