My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Chapter 1351: Comparison

When Shi Yalin heard Shi Gen’s words, she was filled with anger.

The initial reason that stopped her from chasing after Chi Yang explicitly was that she thought that he was allergic to other women. However, when Chi Yang rescued her after she fell into the water, she knew that he was not allergic to her.

Initially, she had wanted to express her love for him then. Yet, when she thought about how she was only 15 years old, she held herself back.

To get close to Chi Yang and be with him, she would come to the Chi family to visit Grandpa Chi every holiday or school holiday. Therefore, she had always regarded herself as Chi Yang’s fiancée.

However, just as she was about to turn 18—at the age where it was appropriate to get the Shi family to help her propose marriage—someone threw a wrench in the works. The key takeaway here was that it was a woman from the Nangong family.

“Did you hear what Grandpa said?” Shi Gen looked at Shi Yalin unhappily.

“I heard you. Don’t worry, Grandpa. I know what’s important.”

“That’s good. Don’t worry, you’re my only granddaughter. I’ll definitely be concerned about your marriage and do my best to help you win Chi Yang over. Don’t forget, even if we can’t get through via Old Master Chi, you can still get your mother to seek out your aunt-in-law. Chi Yang will have to listen to your aunt-in-law, no?”

Even though Shi Yalin had always looked down on that ‘aunt-in-law’ of hers, her expression softened slightly at the thought that at least she could put her aunt to good use.

“Anyway, when you go in later, you have to carry yourself in utmost magnanimity even if the Nangong family is present, understand?”

Shi Yalin nodded.

After a while, the old butler finally came over. “Old Master Shi, Miss Shi, sorry to have kept you waiting. Please come in.”

Shi Yalin nodded at the old butler and followed her grandfather inside.

The moment they stepped into the hall, they saw the woman sitting next to Chi Yang.

Since she had just returned home from the competition, Nangong Nuannuan was still in her student uniform, and her hair was casually tied up into a bun.

The simple outfit was a stark contrast to Shi Yalin’s expensive custom-made dress. From their outfits alone, one looked like a typical female student while the other was a noble swan.

However, once they compared everything else other than clothes, Shi Yalin paled greatly in comparison.

She had always wished to leave behind an impression that she was mature even at such a young age—she wanted Grandpa Chi to realize that in spite of how young she was, she was capable to support the whole Chi family. Therefore, Shi Yalin always showed up in a single-piece every time she went to the Chi family. Even though her outfit was couture tailored by an internationally renowned designer, Shi Yalin was only 17 years old after all. Her slightly immature exterior coupled with her one-piece dress conveniently layered a tinge of reliable maturity on her.

If not compared to a girl like Nangong Nuannuan, this outfit would still look good.

However, she compared herself to Nangong Nuannuan.

Unlike the mature and steady Shi Yalin, who had her curled long hair cascading down her shoulders, Nuannuan’s hairstyle could not have been any more casual. There was a red bunny hair clip on her head. Complemented by her fair skin and exquisite facial features, her slight smile had the charm of a woman, but it also had the innocence of a young girl. It was enough to attract everyone’s attention. Even Shi Yalin, who was looking at Nangong Nuannuan with disdain, was taken aback by her striking beauty.
