1 The Groom Runs Away, Find Another One

Interstellar Year 3521, June, Star District Two.

The Qu Family and Yi Family were both nobles from District Two. Today was a good day for the two families to get married. All the big screens on the bustling streets were showing wedding photos of the new couple on a loop.

The woman in the wedding photo was sweet and elegant, and the man was handsome. Everyone who saw them felt that the two of them were very compatible.

Their wedding was held on the 88th floor of the Starry Night Building on the business street in District Two. The banquet hall was on the top floor. There was a luxurious and dazzling huge crystal chandelier, expensive utensils, and the scenery outside the tallest building.

Not only were the nobles of District Two present at this wedding, but it was also said that two big shots from District One had come. It was obvious how much attention this wedding attracted. The Yi Family and the Qu Family were indeed quite famous. However, compared to the lively atmosphere in the banquet hall, the atmosphere in the bride's lounge was extremely oppressive.

Yue Ran asked worriedly, "Xiaowan, you still haven't get in contact with Yi Han? Did something happen to him? Why don't I ask the Yi Family?"

Qu Xiaowan, who was wearing a white wedding dress, lowered her eyes and looked at the diamonds on the dress.

At this moment, her AI suddenly sounded with a notification. It was a call from Yi Han. Qu Xiaowan raised her hand to pick it up.

"Xiaowan, I'm sorry. Something happened to Xiaoman's aircraft in Division Six. I have to save her!" Yi Han said anxiously.

Qu Xiaowan's expression darkened. "Won't the rescue team save her?"

Yi Han said unhappily, "Xiaowan! How can you say such things? How can I ignore Xiaoman when she's in danger?"

Qu Xiaowan said calmly, "Yi Han, have you forgotten? I'll be 20 years old in a few hours. If you don't come back and marry me, I'll be forcefully assigned a husband by the main system."

Yi Han said, "Xiaowan, I'll try my best to rush back. I'll go save Xiaoman first. After all, no one expected such an accident to happen."

Try his best? Did that mean that he might not be able to come back? Qu Xiaowan fell silent.

Yi Han was unhappy when he did not hear Qu Xiaowan's response. He said reproachfully, "Xiaowan, I know you're unhappy, but you can't be so selfish. Xiaoman is your younger sister! She's seriously injured, so I can't leave at all! Forget it, let's leave it at that. I'll try my best to rush back. Don't look for my parents either."

With that, the call ended.

The bride in the mirror with exquisite makeup smiled mockingly. Hehe, younger sister? She was selfish?

When Qu Xiaowan was 13 years old, her ship was attacked by the galactic bandits. Fortunately, the Interstellar Security Team came early and she was saved. However, she was still seriously injured and was frozen in the freezer for five years.

No one knew that in the five years that she was frozen, Qu Xiaowan's soul actually transmigrated back to ancient Earth 1,000 years ago. When she woke up, there was a younger sister in the family who was six months younger than her. Her father adopted Qu Xiaoman from Division Six. It was said that she was the child of her father's good friend.

Qu Xiaoman was very scheming and knew how to please people. Not only did Qu Xiaowan's father treat her like his biological daughter, but even Qu Xiaowan's two biological brothers treated her as their biological sister.

Oh right, even Yi Han, who was Qu Xiaowan's childhood sweetheart and was engaged to her when she was young, ran away from the marriage for Qu Xiaoman. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Something happened the moment she was going to get married?

"Xiaowan…" Yue Ran looked at her daughter worriedly and heartbrokenly, but she did not know what to say to comfort her.

Instead, Qu Xiaowan comforted her mother. "Mom, I'm fine. The wedding will go on as usual."

Yue Ran asked in confusion, "As usual?"

"Yes, go to the banquet hall and entertain the guests for me. I'm going out for a while and I'll be back soon." After saying that, Qu Xiaowan hurriedly left the bride's lounge in her wedding dress.

Yue Ran chased after her. "Xiaowan, where are you going at this time?"

The moment the door was closed, a sentence floated in through the crack. "The groom has run away. I'll find another one!"

"…" Yue Ran.

There was a reason why Qu Xiaowan married Yi Han. She had slept for five years and when she woke up, her mind was filled with memories related to ancient Earth. She could not adapt to it for a while. Moreover, her body had just recovered and she was still very weak. In the past two years, she had been staying in the Qu Family and did not even leave the house. She only went online occasionally.

After she woke up, she did not have much contact with the opposite sex, not to mention that she and Yi Han had been engaged since they were young. The two of them were well-matched in terms of social status and grew up together. A few years later, they were admitted to the medical department of the Military Academy of China University. It was only natural for the two of them to get married.

There was a rule in the Federation of China that ordinary women had to have a legal spouse when they reached 20 years old. If they didn't, the main system would assign them a random husband as a "birthday gift" once their 20th birthday arrived.
