Amnesiac Fiancé Married Another, So I Married His Brother - Chapter 99

“I don’t really remember,” Huo Zhenzhou said.

“That proves I’m right. You only remember the good memories—the fights and arguments, you don’t recall any of them. But…” Li Su paused. “None of that matters now. What’s important is the future. A’Ye, Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, and I all hope you can pull yourself together. Whether you get married or not, whether you date or not, we don’t think any of that matters.”

“What matters is that you stay physically and mentally healthy. Don’t let yourself fall into such a miserable state. Don’t make us worry. What happened today, don’t let it happen again.”

“Can you do that?”

Huo Zhenzhou lifted his gaze, his dark eyes fixed on her.

Li Su continued persuading, “Not for us, but for yourself. You don’t want people to think of the eldest son of the Huo Group and immediately picture you as a divorced, broken man, do you?”

Huo Zhenzhou forced out a reply, “For the Huo family’s reputation?”

“For yourself. I’m afraid if you keep going like this, one day you’ll just… disappear. And then I’ll have to tell my child, ‘You once had an uncle, but sadly, he died young…'”

Huo Zhenzhou’s lips twitched. “You’re pregnant?”

Huo Xuanye, who had been standing at the door, rushed in. “You’re pregnant?!”

“No, no, no!”

“Calm down, both of you! I’m not pregnant!”

Li Su stumbled backward in alarm. “No, I meant in the future, the future!”

Huo Xuanye considered that if Li Su were pregnant, it wouldn’t be entirely impossible.

They usually took precautions, but sometimes in the shower, they didn’t…

Huo Xuanye pulled her into an embrace. “That’s enough, I think. Let’s go. Give him some time.”

Go?

Dare he leave?

Li Su didn’t even dare to go.

She was terrified that once they left, Huo Zhenzhou would lock himself in the bathroom again.

Taking a shower was fine.

But if he passed out in the bathtub, it could easily turn into a disaster.

“Brother, we’re not leaving. You should rest for a bit. No, change your clothes first. The bed is all wet.”

“Let’s go out.”

Li Su grabbed Huo Xuanye and dragged him out.

Huo Xuanye reached back to close the door.

Close!

Close!

“Brother, the door’s broken.”

Huo Zhenzhou’s expression remained calm. “It’s fine.”

Outside, Li Su sat on Huo Xuanye’s lap.

She leaned against his chest. “I tried my best…”

She had said everything she could, appropriate or not.

“We’ve both tried. With an illness like this, it’s up to him.”

Huo Xuanye wrapped an arm around her waist, his other hand resting on her flat stomach. “Nothing?”

Li Su smacked his hand away. “No, nothing.”

“If I were pregnant, could we have gone at it so intensely last night? The baby would’ve been long gone…”

“That wouldn’t happen. My genes are decent, high quality, shouldn’t miscarry so easily.” Huo Xuanye was very confident in himself. “But as I get older, the quality might decline.”

Li Su lifted his chin with a finger. “What, you want me to get pregnant now?”

“Wouldn’t dare. I’d never demand that of you. I’ll just demand that I don’t smoke, drink less, stay up less, and make sure my little swimmers stay lively even at fifty.”

Li Su: “…”

What did he need such lively swimmers at fifty for?

Planning to father children in his old age?

And what was that look on her face?

Pure disdain.

Huo Xuanye nuzzled his cheek against her palm. “You don’t want to?”

Li Su was very honest, “I don’t want to. If we have a high-quality child in the future, the quality of yours won’t matter anymore.”

“You don’t care about my body at all.”

“Huo Xuanye, stop being unreasonable.”

“I don’t care. You just comforted him, now it’s my turn…”

Li Su was exhausted.

She absentmindedly planted a kiss on his cheek.

Huo Xuanye responded by kissing her several times in return, “Let me comfort my wife.”

“Thank you~”

Huo Xuanye gently stroked her back, “I should be the one thanking you, for helping me counsel my brother.”

“He’s my brother too.”

Huo Xuanye’s lips curled into a smile, not a hidden one, but an openly delighted grin.

Why was Huo Zhenzhou Li Su’s brother?

Because Huo Zhenzhou was his brother.

And Li Su was his wife.

After some time, Huo Zhenzhou emerged from the room, impeccably dressed. The living room was quiet, and his gaze immediately landed on Li Su, who had fallen asleep on Huo Xuanye’s lap.

To love her is to wish her well.

To love her is to wish her happiness.

Huo Xuanye looked up and met his eyes.

Huo Zhenzhou moved quietly, “Isn’t that uncomfortable? She should sleep in bed.”

“I don’t dare move,” Huo Xuanye whispered in reply.

Li Su slept well at night, but her daytime naps were light.

Not long after he spoke, Li Su’s eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She was awake.

In her dazed vision, she saw Huo Zhenzhou’s coldly handsome face.

He was out?

Li Su stood up, took two steps, and then her foot went numb.

“Ah!”

Li Su swayed unsteadily.

Both men reached for her at the same time.

Li Su fell against Huo Xuanye.

Huo Zhenzhou awkwardly withdrew his hand.

This… wasn’t his place to intervene.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?” Huo Xuanye asked anxiously.

“My foot’s numb.”

Li Su clutched his shirt, “Still numb…”

Huo Xuanye looked at her fondly, “You should sleep in bed from now on.”

Li Su nodded in agreement.

Once the numbness faded, Li Su stood up, “You seem to be doing better, so we’ll head out now.”

“I’ll adjust as quickly as I can.”

“We all believe in you. You’ve always been a strong-willed man in our eyes, right, hubby?” Li Su linked arms with Huo Xuanye.

Huo Xuanye immediately chimed in, “Right, bro. You’ll definitely pull through. We’re counting on you to support us when we don’t want to work anymore, so don’t you dare collapse.”

Huo Zhenzhou was speechless.

What nonsense was he spouting now?

“We won’t bother you anymore. Bye.” Huo Xuanye picked up Li Su’s bag, “Fix the door, and don’t lock yourself in the bathtub again. You almost died.”

“I won’t.”

Huo Xuanye took a few steps, then called out, “Wife.”

What now?

A mischievous glint flashed in Huo Xuanye’s eyes, “Should we smash the bathtub?”

Li Su: “…”

Don’t ask me!

It’s not my bathtub.

Huo Zhenzhou had enough, “Just go.”

“Alright, we’re really leaving now.”

Huo Xuanye had been deliberately provoking him, it added some liveliness to the atmosphere. Otherwise, his brother might spend the whole day in despair, and he was afraid he might spiral again.

On the way back, Huo Xuanye was still a little worried about Huo Zhenzhou.

So he sent Zhuo Yang a message, asking him to keep an eye on things.

But then he received a message from Huo Zhenzhou.

Telling him not to tell their parents.

“My brother still has hope.”

“How so?”

“He told me not to tell Mom and Dad, which means he still cares about them in his heart. He won’t die.” Huo Xuanye held Li Su’s hand. “The weight in my heart can finally be lifted.”

He hoped his brother could truly come to terms with things this time.

He never wanted to go through something like this again.

“I hope so. I don’t know what else to say beyond that.” Li Su felt she had already been understanding enough.

She didn’t want to dwell on the past, what mattered more to her was the future.

Her stage, her life, her husband…

Li Su lightly tapped Huo Xuanye’s hand. “Give me a leg massage tonight.”

“Acupuncture?”

Li Su silently looked at him.

Huo Xuanye suddenly laughed. “Just a massage, but not just a massage. For acupuncture… give me two or three years. I’ll definitely master it.”

Li Su raised an eyebrow slightly. “Alright, I believe in you.”
