My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

"Based on her attitude and words, I saw that Xiao Yaxin clearly admires Li Jingyan. Is Li Jingyan Xiao Yaxin's sibling or cousin? How could she fancy him?"

"Xiao Yuqi is Elder Xiao's adopted daughter, not biological. She's a business expert and has helped him manage the Xiao Group well. Her husband, Li Heyi, was the eldest young master of a third-rate noble family—the Li family. Before this, everyone looked down on him and thought he was nothing more than his mediocre position. But Li Heyi is a natural leader and quickly rose through the ranks like a fish in water. fe soon became the 12th official of the executive hall, ranking even higher than Shi Maowen, who's 13th. As long as Li Heyi did not make any mistakes, even if Shi Maowen were to become president in the future, the lowest position he could be given was vice president. Because of this, Xiao Yuqi is now the most prominent descendant of the Xiao family.

"Li Heyi and Xiao Yuqi only have one son, Li Jingyan. He's the son of the 12th official of the executive hall and Elder Xiao's grandson. He's not related to Xiao Yaxin by blood. Li Jingyan is very well-off, and Xiao Chengan's two daughters from his second wife aren't in the picture at all. Xiao Yaxin was envious of Sze Lingyun, so she tried to make things difficult for her—which is understandable. But Li Jingyan has already filed their marriage application. Once I go back and approve it, he can get married to Sze Lingyun."

Chi Yang was pretty tight-lipped when it came to outsiders, but he was like a talkative toddler in front of his Nuannuan. If his wife asked a question, he would rack his brain to tell her everything she might possibly want to know.

"From what you know of Elder Xiao, if he knew that his granddaughter liked his grandson, do you think he would object?"

"What's there to object to? They're not related by blood, and their marriage would be good for the Xiao family. Even though Xiao Yuqi is Elder Xiao's adoptive daughter, Elder Xiao would definitely be happy if they could get closer."

Nuannuan frowned. "So, will the Xiao family be unhappy if you approve Li Jingyan's marriage application when you get back?"

"Li Jingyan is a soldier for the Eagle Special Forces. As his commander-in-chief, I'm responsible for running a background check on his potential future wife to ensure that she's not someone that would bring dishonor to our army. Also, she wants to marry him just as much as he wants to marry her. Everything will be fine as long as the two of them remain in love. Moreover, Li Jingyan's father is only the 12th official right now. Even if his father was the president, as long as he applies for official approval for the marriage, I will grant him it—given that his woman comes from a good background. Whether or not the Xiao family will be happy is not something I have to consider."

Nuannuann was amused by Chi Yang's serious, righteous, and straightforward response.

He reached out to stroke her soft, smooth hair and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Is it that difficult to admit that you want to help your brother?"

A doting smile flashed across Chi Yang's eyes, "I'm not messing around. This is just the way it is. Li Jingyan is a soldier, and a soldier should see their military group as their end-all-be-all. From the day they enter the military base, they hand their lives over to it."

"You're just speaking from your high position. And anyway, Li Jingyan is still your brother. For your brother to get the person he loves, not only do you have to back him up, but you have to get the Wu family to help too."

"It'll be good for Sze Lingyun to gain a higher status."
