After Becoming A Popular Girl, I Choose My Husband On Planet X - Chapter 3

Bai Zixin—no, now it should be Wen Nuannuan—stood in the small square in front of the interstellar clubhouse. The sunlight was falling lightly. She was holding a pure white lace umbrella. Her snow-white long dress swayed gently in the morning breeze, and the hem of her skirt fell to her ankles. She looked like a fairy walking down from the clouds.

The edge of the umbrella was outlined with a circle of gold rose lace, which made her skin look delicate, white and almost transparent.

Her features were naturally delicate, with round eyes and eyelashes as long as if covered in double layers of stardust. Her pupils held a hint of water, as if she always retained a primal curiosity about the world. When she smiled, the corners of her lips curved, revealing the dimple on her left cheek. A tiny teardrop mole nestled beneath the corner of her eye made her smile like a candied haws in the moonlight—just the right amount of sweetness.

She waved at the two of them, her voice clear and sweet: “Hello~ Good morning, it’s your turn to play with me today!”

The tone was brisk and soft, as if inviting people to go to the river to release paper boats, rather than to participate in an aristocratic husband-selection ceremony that would determine the future direction of the planet’s alliance power.

Gao Muting: “…”

Ye Yibai: “…”

The two men had their phones jammed on the spot.

——Why is she completely different from what I imagined?

Gao Muting, clad in a black military uniform, exuded a sharp aura like a cold blade unsheathed. Having served in the military for many years, his gaze was always icy. He had always believed that the daughters of S+-class families were nothing more than empty shells built on power—arrogant, cold, and treating everyone else like dirt.

But now, she stood in the sunshine and smiled at him, her smile as sweet as sugar sprinkled on ice cubes. She also waved her umbrella at him and called his name in a soft voice, as if calling a puppy.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat as if struck by lightning.

“…Why is her voice so soft?” he whispered to himself.

He tried to adjust his expression and suppress the sudden beat of his heart, but failed.

Ye Yibai, on the other hand, was dressed in a gray-blue robe, resembling a senior lecturer from the Academy Star. He habitually held a data pad in his hand, his knuckles slender and his demeanor gentle. When he heard he had been chosen by the S+ family, he was still in a morning class at Interstellar University. He was so shocked that he dropped his pen into the teaching simulator.

The family was in an uproar.

That night, Ye’s father looked through the old family tree and said, “Listen carefully, son! This is a once-in-a-century opportunity to turn things around! Although you’re a B+, your mother was an A-class home economics champion when she was young. Our family has a lot of heritage! If you make the list, you’ll be the pride of our family!”

Ye’s mother, while stewing a nourishing soup, exhorted her like she was squeezing toothpaste: “My dear son, remember, the happiness of the daughter is the highest command. You can’t say anything else when she says one thing. If she wants you to laugh, you laugh. If she hits you, you praise her for her strong hand. Do you understand?”

Ye Yibai: “…”

He had expected the three-day trial to be awkward, given the disparity in status and starting points. He had spent a full week preparing a self-introduction, resume, thesis abstract, and even a set of “100 Daily Conversation Phrases.”

Finally she smiled at him.

“Ye Yibai~” Her voice was like a wind chime soaked in sugar water, “You look beautiful in this outfit today, I like it!”

Ye Yibai’s head buzzed, his ears instantly turned red, and he almost dropped the data tablet.

His eyes flickered slightly, and there was only one conclusion in his mind: She doesn’t have a bad temper, she is the type that can make you fall in love to death!

The two looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other’s eyes.

It’s dangerous.

She is sweeter, cuter and more defenseless than what is described in the profile.

Bai Zixin—oh no, Wen Nuannuan—wasn’t aware of their turbulent emotions at all. She just turned around gently, with the hem of her dress slightly lifted, and walked towards the Xinghe Botanical Garden, with her umbrella tilted across her shoulder.

She turned around, her eyes curved. “Why are you still standing there? Let’s go! I want to see the Galaxy Rose bloom today!”

Her voice is sweet and soft, like the glimmer of light after a summer rain, making people follow her involuntarily.

Gao Muting had a sullen face and walked steadily, but his heart was already churning – this woman could not be given to anyone else.

Ye Yibai took a deep breath, his heart beating like thunder – in the three-day trial of coexistence, it was not just her who was choosing us, this was also the beginning of us choosing her.

At this moment, thousands of miles away, the elders of the two families were guarding the surveillance screens.

Grandmother Ye held the Buddhist beads in her hand, chanting silently while nervously saying, “Yibai, please don’t stutter… don’t force your smile… Oh no! She smiled at him! She smiled!”

Ye’s mother leaned on the table and said, “Do you think it’s too late for me to send some desserts over now? Girls are in a good mood when they eat sweet things!”

The atmosphere in the Gao family conference room was extremely low, and all the senior executives were in a serious discussion.

Gao Muting’s uncle pushed up his glasses and said, “Muting, you have to hold on. Our family depends on him.”

“We can’t be careless. He’s not good with girls.” Gao’s father said coldly, “I hope everything can be stable.”

But the next second – Bai Zixin turned around and smiled at Gao Muting on the screen, her tone as sweet as milk tea with three doses of honey: “Let’s go, dazed~”

The Gao family: “… Yeah, there’s hope.”

——This husband selection trial may be more thrilling than expected.
