After Losing His Memory, He Married His Ex-boyfriend’s Father

Dinner was prepared by Huo Chengyuan, while Jiang Nian and Huo Nianning were playing games in the living room.

Huo Chengyuan was in the kitchen, separated by a wall, but he could still hear his son cursing and complaining about his teammates, calling them bad and too fond of playing. The boy, on the other hand, was well-behaved and always spoke softly, trying to advise him to stay calm.

Huo Chengyuan’s lips curled up, but the smile on his face faded away the next second as he thought of something.

“What a crappy game! Why do I always get matched with trash teammates? It’s fine if they’re bad, but they don’t even listen to advice and keep feeding the enemy. He single-handedly fed twenty kills, almost like he was serving them on a platter. Calling him a noob is an insult to noobs.” Frustrated, Huo Nianning exclaimed.

“I’m done playing. I’ll go to the kitchen and see how the food is cooking,” Jiang Nian said, tossing his phone aside.

He and Huo Nianning didn’t have a good synergy when playing together. They hardly ever won, either because they encountered lousy teammates or faced opponents who were exceptionally skilled. It was impossible to enjoy the game.

“Husband, it smells so good.”

He pushed open the kitchen door and caught a whiff of the delicious aroma from the food, making his mouth water with anticipation.Huo Chengyuan watched the adorable expression on the boy’s face as he swallowed his saliva, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his eyes.

“Just wait a few more minutes, and we’ll be ready to eat with one more dish.”

“Okay.” Jiang Nian’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he was caught drooling by his husband.

Five minutes later, the meal was served on the table.

Huo Nianning took a deep breath and then raised both thumbs to his dad. “It smells amazing, Dad! Your cooking skills are fantastic!”

Jiang Nian nodded in agreement, his chin resting on his hand, and a pair of cute dimples appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

After a while, Huo Chengyuan saw that they had almost finished eating and put down his chopsticks. He asked, “Nian Nian’s injury is almost healed. Until when were you planning to hide it from me?”

“Huh?” Huo Nianning, who was feeling a bit full and rubbing his stomach, looked at his dad with a puzzled expression.

“Husband?” Jiang Nian raised his head, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

“Niannian,” Huo Chengyuan looked at the boy, feeling reluctant but knowing that he had to reveal the truth to avoid irreparable consequences.

“You’ve mistaken the person you are in a relationship with. Nianning is your boyfriend,” he spoke softly, his expression gentle.

“Huh?” Huo Nianning looked at his dad with the eyes of someone betrayed. “No, Dad, you don’t have to use me as a shield if you don’t want to take responsibility!”

Jiang Nian’s expression changed from confusion to anger. He slammed a photo of the three of them from his phone onto the table.

“Nonsense! He’s clearly our son!” His almond-shaped eyes widened as he angrily declared.

Huo Nianning: “…”

Huo Nianning was fuming. “That was on my birthday, when you came to celebrate with me!”

Jiang Nian bit his lip, his eyes turning red as he looked at the man.

He couldn’t believe it. In his memory, the man was his husband. He felt that his husband must no longer love him to say such things. Tears began to fall uncontrollably.

“You’re lying! You just don’t love me anymore, and you want to push me away, don’t you?” He choked up, filled with sadness and hurt as he questioned, “Didn’t you promise not to push me away again? You lied to me, wuwuwu…”

Jiang Nian was heartbroken. Tears fell incessantly like broken beads. He tried hard to open his eyes and see his husband’s expression, but because he had been crying, everything was blurred by a layer of mist, and he couldn’t see anything clearly.

Feeling a bit anxious, he cried even harder, and his head started to throb slightly.

“Honey, my head hurts so much.” He held his head, reaching out to the man, hoping to be embraced.

“Nian Nian, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Huo Nianning, seeing the state he was in, asked with concern.

“Mm, my head hurts, wuwuwu…”

Jiang Nian continued crying, extending his arms towards the man, showing no intention of letting go.

In reality, the pain wasn’t that severe. He just wanted his husband to feel sorry for him and hold him.
The boy’s cheeks turned red from crying, and his pitiful appearance melted Huo Chengyuan’s heart.

He reached out and pulled the boy into his embrace, soothingly saying, “Stop crying. I was lying before. Aren’t you feeling better now?”

“Really… really?” Jiang Nian leaned against his husband’s chest, hiccuping and speaking with a pitiful tone.

Huo Chengyuan gently patted the boy’s back, “Really.”

Huo Nianning watched the two of them embracing as if no one else existed, and his expression gradually became numb.

Damn it! If only he had known it would end up like this. Why did he do it in the first place?

Jiang Nian was quickly comforted by the man. He rubbed his eyes, hooked his arm around the man’s neck, and acted spoiled, “Husband, my head hurts. Will you accompany me to sleep for a while?”

“Okay,” Huo Chengyuan replied.

He was the one who made Jiang Nian cry, so it was his responsibility to comfort him.

Huo Chengyuan got up and saw the boy still sitting in the chair, one hand tugging at his clothes, as if he had something to say. He stopped in his tracks and looked at the boy with gentle eyes.

“I want my husband to hug me,” Jiang Nian said, tugging at the man’s clothes and mustering up the courage to speak.

Seeing that the man was just looking at him without taking action, Jiang Nian pouted, blinked his watery almond eyes, and said with a face full of grievances, “You lied to me just now and made me so sad. I want to punish you a little, shouldn’t I?”

Huo Nianning: “…”

Silently taking out his phone, he opened the camera function to record it.

The boy’s eyes turned red, and Huo Chengyuan couldn’t resist the clear and bright gaze from the other person. He softened and bent down to pick the boy up.

Jiang Nian became happy, hooking his hands around his husband’s neck and burying his tear-stained cheeks in the crook of his neck, smiling contentedly.

“In consideration of your sincerely apologetic attitude, I’ll forgive you temporarily,” he murmured softly.

Huo Chengyuan chuckled, “Thank you, Nian Nian.”

Left behind, Huo Nianning felt the responsibility to clean up the aftermath.

Half an hour later, after Huo Chengyuan had put the boy to sleep, he called his son into the study.

“Tell me, what’s the deal between you and Nian Nian?” Huo Chengyuan asked.

“What deal? We don’t have anything!” Huo Nianning felt speechless about his dad’s words. “You don’t think I’m in a relationship with Nian Nian, do you? Is that why you kept pushing him to me?”

“If there’s no relationship, then why were you holding hands at the café?”

Recalling that day, Huo Chengyuan furrowed his brow.

He had something to discuss that day, but because he hadn’t slept well the previous night, he planned to go to the café to grab a cup of coffee to wake himself up.

Little did he know that as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw his son holding hands with another boy, with the boy’s head resting on his son’s shoulder.

Their posture was intimate, and anyone would think that their relationship was more than ordinary.

“Holding hands at the café?” Huo Nianning was stunned for a moment, remembering what had happened. He quickly explained, “Oh, that… that was fake, it was just for show! There was a girl who kept bothering me, so I asked Nian Nian to pretend to be my boyfriend to make her give up!”

“I thought you two had something going on, but I didn’t expect it to be… a misunderstanding,” Huo Nianning couldn’t stop himself from rambling. Seeing his dad’s warning gaze, he instinctively swallowed his saliva. “By the way, Nian Nian just mentioned that he had a headache. Maybe you should call the hospital and ask if it will affect his recovery?”

Huo Nianning’s inner thoughts: Damn it, I’ve been calling him “Mom” for a whole week, what a huge misunderstanding!

Having understood the whole situation, Huo Chengyuan waved his hand and let his son go.

After closing the study door, Huo Chengyuan closed his eyes and rubbed his brow.

In that instant when he realized the boy and his son weren’t in a romantic relationship, he felt a tinge of relief in his heart.

Despite knowing that he should suppress this sudden surge of emotions, he couldn’t help but dwell on it repeatedly, with even the corners of his mouth involuntarily curling up.

After a few moments, Huo Chengyuan composed himself and called Dr. Chen.

“This is simply nonsense!” Dr. Chen scolded sternly after hearing the whole story. “You have quite the audacity. What if the patient gets upset and can’t handle it? Although the patient has amnesia, he still has his own thinking and logic. Forcing external intervention can have the opposite effect and lead to irreparable consequences.”

Huo Chengyuan listened to the doctor’s lecture for a long time and repeatedly assured him that they wouldn’t use such methods to provoke the boy again before finally being pardoned.

The next day.

Jiang Nian had cried a lot the previous night and didn’t wake up until seven in the morning.

Huo Chengyuan prepared breakfast and sat face-to-face with Huo Nianning at the dining table, silently eating.

As they were almost finished with breakfast, Huo Nianning noticed that his friend hadn’t come down yet and said, “Why hasn’t Nian Nian come down yet? Should I go up and get him?”

Huo Chengyuan replied, “No need. I left breakfast for him. Let him continue sleeping.”

Huo Nianning glanced at his dad and said, “Oh.”

So much for three meals a day being served promptly. What a double standard situation. This is not how you treat me!

“Dad, why don’t you just pair up with Nian Nian? I can tell he quite likes you, and you don’t dislike him either,” Huo Nianning hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “As long as you like it, I don’t mind Nian Nian being my stepmother.” After all, he had already gotten used to it over these days.

As soon as the words left his mouth, his dad gave him a light glance.

Huo Nianning felt a chill down his spine and quickly fell silent, afraid to speak recklessly again.

In the Huo family, if you don’t get up by 7:00 am, you won’t have breakfast.

But Jiang Nian was someone who was pampered as a “husband,” so even if he woke up close to 9:00 am, he still had food to eat.

“You just woke up?” Huo Nianning sat on the couch playing games, looking at his friend who came out of the kitchen holding a steamed bun, his eyes wide open in surprise.He had heard from his husband that it was this guy’s rotten idea that made his husband lie and provoke him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Huo Nianning was somewhat puzzled by the way he was being stared at as if he were an enemy.

“I hate you.” Jiang Nian swallowed his steamed bun and angrily puffed up his cheeks.

“Huh?” Huo Nianning looked bewildered and wanted to ask why, but Jiang Nian just turned his head away, refusing to communicate.

Huo Nianning had no choice but to send a WeChat message to his dad for advice. In the end, he found out that his own dad, who tricked his son for the sake of pleasing his “little lover,” had sold him out!

And that wasn’t the end of it. His dad also gave him a task: to quickly win over the person and if he was even a day late, his monthly allowance would be deducted by a hundred, and if it was two days late, it would be cut in half!

This was outrageous! It was even darker than a roasted pig’s skin!

Huo Nianning: “…”

So, you two are in love, and I’m the one paying for it. Smiling.jpg

Jiang Nian was engrossed in drawing on his tablet when someone suddenly poked his back, startling him. In a moment of carelessness, his hand slipped and accidentally deleted the layer he had just finished drawing.

He was taken aback and quickly pressed the “undo” button.

“What are you doing?!”

He turned his head and glared fiercely at the culprit.

Huo Nianning had known him for over a year but had never seen him so fierce. Although he was not intimidating at all, it still made Huo Nianning instinctively swallow.

Just kidding, behind this beautiful thing was his dad. With one careless mistake, he would lose his pocket money for the rest of his life!

“Nianning, you’ve been drawing for so long. Are you tired?” Huo Nianning held a small cake and said in a pleasing manner, “It’s your favorite strawberry cake. Would you like some?”

Jiang Nian instantly refused, “No!”

He was a person with principles!

However, when he turned around—

【Never Forget You】: Husband, can your adorable little Nian Nian have a delicious strawberry cake? [Kitten crouching obediently]
 

Author’s note:

Huo Nianning: When will my old Liang make an appearance? I can’t stand living like this anymore! (Slams the table)

Liang Zhen: Just wait a bit longer. If I show up too soon, your dad might eat me.

Hmm, old Liang and old Huo know each other^-^. This “old” is crucial, you’ll be tested on it later~
