The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Shen Yanran was slightly taken aback. If Wen Qian hadn't mentioned it, she really wouldn't have thought about work.

Although it was her only option when she was forced into it, she had worked diligently there for three years and had developed some attachment to it.

But since she had already decided to break up with Gao Yufeng, she wanted to cut ties cleanly. "As for work, I'll go and resign after I'm discharged from the hospital tomorrow. You're right, that place was never right for me."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qian clapped her hands happily and said, "That's great! Yanran, you're right to think that way. With your talent and ability, you can totally open your own jewelry design studio. Why should you suffer in that lousy place of Gao Yufeng? I'm off tomorrow, so I'll go with you. Let's see who dares to make things difficult for you."

Shen Yanran smiled warmly, "Okay, okay, you come with me. After I resign, we'll go out for a big meal, it's on me."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll wait for your call tomorrow and come pick you up from the hospital." Wen Qian waved goodbye to Shen Yanran at the door of the ward.

After seeing Wen Qian off, Shen Yanran returned to her cold hospital bed, lay there silently, staring at the pale ceiling, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

These past two days have felt more dangerous than the last ten years she's lived, and she almost paid the ultimate price...

Early the next morning.

The doctor made his rounds on time, gave Shen Yanran a quick check-up, and found that she had fully recovered. He then told her that she could be discharged at any time.

Shen Yanran said thank you and then watched the doctor leave.

She glanced at the time on the wall; it was only 7:30. Not wanting to disturb Wenqian's rest so early, she packed her things and went through the discharge procedures herself.

However, when she arrived at the hospital entrance, she found that it was already raining heavily outside.

Shen Yanran had no umbrella and didn't call anyone. She just looked helplessly at the sky, feeling that even God wasn't on her side and was blocking her way at this moment.

Just then, a low-key yet luxurious black Bentley van appeared in the drizzling rain.

Immediately afterwards, a man in a sharp suit stepped out of the driver's seat, holding an elegant black umbrella, and walked up to Shen Yanran, saying, "Miss Shen, please get in the car."

Shen Yanran was surprised that Xu Fan was still there at this time and asked, "Secretary Xu, what are you going to do?"

"Please get in the car to pick you up from the hospital," Xu Fan replied crisply.

But Shen Yanran refused without even thinking, saying, "No need, Secretary Xu, I'll just call my friend over later, no need to trouble you."

"Ms. Shen, you're too kind. Please get in the car." Xu Fan opened the car door without offering any further explanation.

Shen Yanran regretted not calling Wen Qian sooner. Seeing Xu Fan standing in the rain with an umbrella waiting for her, she couldn't bear it. "Okay, thank you then."

However, once Shen Yanran got into the car, she discovered that there was already someone else inside, and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Li Zhanting looked at Shen Yanran, who seemed slightly surprised, with a deep gaze, and said naturally, "I've come to pick you up from the hospital."

Shen Yanran looked at him warily and defensively. She had always believed that she and Li Zhanting were just strangers who had met by chance, and that there was no need for him to care about her so much. "You came to pick me up? Why?"

"What do you think?" Li Zhanting asked with interest.

She said?

What could she say...?

Wait a minute, does this man really think of her as his fiancée?

"Mr. Li, I think you've misunderstood. There's nothing like that between us. You really don't need to do that," Shen Yanran explained earnestly, hoping he would understand her meaning.

Li Zhanting stared at her anxious little face, a faint smile appearing on his cold face. "So what kind of relationship do we have?"

It's neither!

Shen Yanran desperately wanted to shout out those words.

But when he thought of the other party as his savior, he could only sigh helplessly and say, "Mr. Li, you are knowingly asking questions."

"Knowing full well what you're asking?" Shen Yanran had barely finished speaking when Li Zhanting suddenly reached out his long, slender fingers to brush away the stray hairs on her forehead and asked in a low, delicate voice.

Shen Yanran felt the heat from his fingers, and her fair face flushed involuntarily. "Don't do this."

"If I don't do it this way, what do you want me to do?" Li Zhanting's sharp, hawk-like eyes gleamed in the dim light, but his expression was unfathomable.

Shen Yanran didn't want to play games with Li Zhanting anymore. She struggled slightly, pulled her chin back, and said, "Since you're pretending to be confused, I'll be clear: no matter what, there's no possibility between us."

“Okay, let me make this clear to you too. I never force women, but once I've set my mind on a woman, she has to be mine. So... it's not up to you.” Li Zhanting said in a deep, magnetic voice with an unyielding tone.

Shen Yanran rarely interacted with men, and she didn't know how to deal with such a domineering and forceful man. "How can you be so unreasonable?"
