Chapter 3 Marry Me

"I, I'm of age now!" Ajue frowned, as if he were carefully considering just how old he actually was, before finally declaring with utter seriousness, "I must be forty years old!"

"Pfft!"

Such a cute and adorable look, claiming to be forty years old?

Little cutie, are you kidding me?

Su Wan's annoyance at Huo Yichang's escape from their wedding vanished in an instant.

She teased him, smiling, "Then fine, take out your glowing brain. If you're over twenty, you help your sister here with this wedding. Once we resolve the crisis later, we can divorce if you want to leave our family."

Though in the Interstellar Empire, getting a divorce wasn't that simple, it was still better than being randomly married off to a man whose height, weight, and beauty were unknown.

Most importantly, Su Wan was all about looks; she couldn't stand ugly, and if she ended up married to an ugly husband, she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep!

The reason she had been willing to act deeply in love with Huo Yichang and marry him was also because he was fairly good-looking.

But compared to Ajue right now, Huo Yichang was just a potato!

"Glowing brain..." Ajue looked around, and then noticed the glowing brain on his wrist.

However, it seemed broken, and after fiddling with it for a while, he finally managed to open the marriage application interface.

"Sister, is it this one?"

Su Wan leaned over to look, it was a black glowing brain, and she couldn't make out the brand, but the texture and luster were nice; it seemed to be expensive.

It might have a privacy function, or it could be damaged—she couldn't see anything else, the personal information page was a bit garbled, but fortunately, the marriage application code was clear.

All Su Wan had to do was pull up her personal information page, and the two of them would scan each other's code, which would count as submitting a marriage application to the Empire's central system.

If the two people met the marriage requirements, the central system would grant approval.

Just at that moment, footsteps came from behind.

Su Wan turned her head and saw two women approaching.

One was older, wearing a purple cheongsam, exuding an air of noble elegance.

The other was younger, accompanying the lady in the purple cheongsam.

The newcomers were Huo Yichang's mother and sister.

"Su Wan, my brother hasn't arrived yet. Look, what shall we do about this wedding?" Huo Jiaojiao's lips curled up, her smile reveling in the misfortune.

She had never liked Su Wan, this feeble girl because, in Huo Jiaojiao's opinion, Su Wan had always been shamelessly clinging to her brother.

More importantly, she and Su Man were good friends—they had known each other for seven years.

Huo Yichang's mother, on the other hand, wasn't against this marriage, given the relationship between the two families.

Plus, in Huo Yichang's mother's eyes, Su Man was merely a foster daughter of the Su Family.

How could she compare to Su Wan, the legitimate young lady?

She spoke with heartfelt sincerity, "Xiaowan, just wait a bit longer for Yichang, he'll definitely come back."

Su Wan looked down at the time on her glowing brain, it was already past nine in the evening.

Less than three hours were left until midnight.

If Huo Yichang truly intended to rush back, he should already be in the third district by now.

But he wasn't.

Su Wan said with a smile, "Auntie, the wedding will go ahead as planned, please return to the banquet hall."

Huo Yichang's mother nodded in satisfaction; although Su Wan had health issues, she hailed from a good family, had excellent manners, and was obedient and sensible.

Huo Jiaojiao, supporting her mother, glanced back at Su Wan, sneering as she dropped a comment, "Pride comes before a fall!"

They walked far away, having not noticed Ajue around the corner throughout the entire conversation.

Su Wan narrowed her eyes, turned around, and saw that Ajue was still sitting there. He had retracted his fluffy tail during the encounter to avoid being seen and now it peeked out again.

Carefully hooking Su Wan's ankle.
