My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

One's life depended on the choices one made. The decisions one made would determine the life one led. Zhou Ruxue did not care about the Chi family and had insisted on choosing Pei Jitong. Regardless of whether her future was going to be sweet or bitter, she would have to stand by the choices she made.

Nangong Nuannuan turned around and left. She walked from the deputy building at the East Gate to the Villa District and went straight to Deputy Hall, where Shi Yalin was.

In Deputy Hall, Shi Yalin seemed like a princess by the way she was being adored by socialites and various young masters. A socialite was playing the piano. The beautiful music of the piano was like a gentle stream flowing through the hall. Shi Yalin smiled and looked at Nuannuan. The socialites and young masters also looked at her.

The socialite was indeed good at playing the piano, as long as Nuannuan did not compare her to the master pianists she had heard before.

Once the song was finished, the socialite withdrew her hands from the keys. Everyone in the hall applauded and cheered for her.

The socialite was beautiful. She slowly stood up and nodded at everyone. She did not seem to be uncomfortable or shy at all from the warm applause of the crowd. Her every move brimmed with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

"As expected of the young miss of the Xiao family. She plays the piano so beautifully. Even some so-called piano masters would struggle to fight her."

A young master from a noble family heavily praised her. His eyes were filled with unconcealed interest.

However, the young miss of the Xiao family only smiled slightly. She did not even glance at the young master speaking to her. She simply said to the crowd, "Sze Lingyun, my family's Jingyan often says that you are multi-talented, but I've never been witness to that myself. Today is Miss Shi's celebratory banquet, but you haven't prepared any gifts for her. Why don't you give us all a song too?"

The Xiao family's young miss was smiling, but it could not cover up her aggressiveness.

Everyone stepped aside, revealing the girl named Sze Lingyun from within the crowd.

She was very beautiful.

Her beauty was different from Nangong Nuannuan's extremely aggressive beauty, Selena's wild and sensual beauty, and Bai Liyue's cold and indifferent beauty. This girl's beauty gave people a very warm feeling.

Her eyes curved gently, and the corners of her lips had a cute curve that she had been naturally blessed with. She made people feel like they could not help but want to get close to her.

The girl had been called out by Miss Xiao. Her warm eyes contained a trace of anger. Everyone seemed to know that this young lady might not be a daughter of a prestigious family, and they all looked at her with disdain.

Shi Yalin looked at the girl called Sze Lingyun with interest and called out, "Miss Shii?"

Sze Lingyun walked toward the piano platform. She walked with her head held high and her chest puffed out. She did not seem to cower in the slightest, despite the disdainful gazes from so many socialites and young masters. However, just as she was about to walk onto the stage, she tripped over her dress as she had been holding her head up too high and puffing out her chest too much.

Her dress's hem was quite thin. After recovering, she took a big step forward. Although no one noticed anything wrong, Nangong Nuannuan had clearly heard a soft tearing sound just now.

Shi Yalin had obviously noticed it as well. The corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.

Sze Lingyun walked onto the stage and smiled. She then said, "Miss Shi, I'm very sorry. I'm not some socialite from a wealthy family. I came to your banquet today because my boyfriend invited me at the last minute. I initially wanted to prepare a congratulatory gift for you, but..."
