After Becoming A Popular Girl, I Choose My Husband On Planet X - Chapter 19

That evening, after a nonstop day at the hospital, Bai Zixin’s legs were numb and her eyes blank from exhaustion. She had even forgotten to eat.

The moment she stepped through the door, hunger hit her so hard she felt like biting someone. On the dining table were two still-steaming dinners—one was Ye Yibai’s usual herbal chicken soup rice, the other was Gao Muting’s favorite army-style home meal, rich with oil and sauce, looking incredibly tempting.

Her eyes lit up, and she sat down to eat immediately.

Humming a little tune between bites: “Who cooked today? It smells so good … I could marry this bowl of braised pork rice”

But halfway through, she suddenly froze.

“Huh… why does my stomach… feel weird?”

She set down her chopsticks, pressing a hand to her belly, frowning as she rubbed it. Before she could think too much, the next second she bolted into the bathroom, clutching the sink as she gagged.

“Ugh… I feel awful… My braised pork rice… I take it back…”

Just then, the bedroom door banged open.

Ye Yibai rushed in first, still in his suit, face pale with panic. “Xinxin? What’s wrong?!”

Tears welled in her eyes, her voice weak and trembling. “Ugh… I think I ate something bad… hic… That restaurant you ordered from yesterday—I’m never touching it again…”

Ye Yibai froze. “…That wasn’t me.”

The very next second, Gao Muting strode in, still carrying the chill of the night air, his expression dark as if marching into battle. “Take her to the hospital.”

Bai Zixin had thought it was just ordinary food poisoning.

But she never expected—

That very night, the two great houses of the Federation would explode into chaos.

【 Gao Family Video Call – Emergency State 】

The moment the screen connected, Father and Mother Gao leaned in, both looking horrified.

“What did you say? Zixin threw up?!”

“Is she pregnant? Tell us, Muting, is it yours?!”

Father Gao demanded, voice shaking with urgency: “Speak the truth! I’ve already booked the Baby Academy!”

Mother Gao was already on her shopping app, scrolling while she spoke. “Doesn’t matter, we’ll buy things first! Which kind of swaddling blanket does Zixin like? Let’s prepare thirty!”

【 Ye Family Video Call – Full Firepower 】

Mother Ye’s face nearly pressed against the screen. “What?! Zixin threw up?!”

Father Ye grabbed the mic. “Is it Yibai’s? This is serious!”

Younger Brother Ye chimed in from the background. “I already started assembling the crib! Don’t tell me the Gao family will beat us to it?!”

Mother Ye nodded solemnly. “We’ve just finished painting the nursery. There are little clouds on the walls—Zixin’s favorite!”

The two families’ video calls looked like a joint Federation military drill, both sides talking over each other for ten whole minutes, not giving Bai Zixin a single chance to speak. The scene sounded like some massive AI voice dataset training session:

“Is she too sick to even talk?!”

“Muting, do you have a preliminary ultrasound result yet?”

“The Ye family already has three candidates for prenatal education teachers! How about your family?!”

Finally, Bai Zixin reached his limit, grabbed a pillow and threw it at the screen, yelling:

“I just had a stomachache!”

The whole place was silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Ye Yibai immediately stepped forward, handed over the anti-nausea medicine, and smiled gently: “Come, honey, take some medicine. We will cook it ourselves next time instead of ordering delivery.”

Gao Muting also frowned and said, “From now on, I will cook for you myself. You are not allowed to eat food from outside anymore.”

Bai Zixin held the hot water pitifully and said, “Wow, I’ll only eat porridge and side dishes from now on… I won’t trust any braised pork rice anymore…”

But the next day, the two families still refused to give up.

The Gao family sent a large box: Korean ginseng, deer antler cream, bird’s nest, prenatal music player, gold foil bl00d-tonifying soup…

The Ye family was no less generous: they gave the baby two health monitoring bracelets, a smart milk bottle, a pregnancy record notebook, and even three sets of maternity clothes for different months.

Bai Zixin looked at the baby supplies on the ground with a blank look in his eyes, as if he was halfway out of his mind:

“Can’t you all just… ask me first if I’m pregnant!?”

Ye Yibai looked helpless: “Ask you? If I ask you, will they believe it? You’re so sweet, who would dare to question you?”

Gao Muting’s eyes darkened, and his tone was cold yet strangely… jealous: “They don’t suspect you. They only suspect—me or him.”

Bai Zixin’s face instantly turned red as fire: “Y-you guys——!!”

“Shut up, everyone!! You’re not going to get pregnant after all the precautions!”

She sat on the ground, clutching a large bottle of anti-nausea medication, wailing, “I just have a stomachache! Why is the entire universe trying to force me to have a baby?!”

Gao’s mother and Ye’s mother were secretly communicating with each other.

Gao’s mother: Did you vomit today?

Ye Ma: No. But she’s starting to eat acid. Do you think there’s a chance?

Gao’s mother: It’s stable. Planning a hotel stay and a pregnancy-maintaining soup for next month.

[The other side of the screen]

Bai Zixin took a deep gulp of the porridge and said to Ye Yibai and Gao Muting tremblingly:

“I swear… I’ll never eat anything else again… If either of you makes me sick again, I’ll sleep in a separate room from you!”

Gao Muting said calmly, “Then I’ll sleep in the living room.”

Ye Yibai said gently, “I’ll sleep with you, but we won’t do anything rash.”

(2:00 AM)

That night, Ye Yibai was flipping through a book while asking, “Actually, being pregnant isn’t bad, what do you think?”

Gao Muting said calmly, “I have no objection, but I want to go first.”

Bai Zixin: “I… I’ll sleep in the guest room!!! …You’re all scammers!”
