The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Li Zhanting reached out and gently enveloped Shen Yanran's pale hand, which was clenched tightly in anger, and whispered to comfort her, "It's just a statement, nothing to worry about. If you want, I can announce to the world right now that we're married and give you a grand wedding."

As Shen Yanran felt the warmth emanating from Li Zhanting's palm and listened to his calm and magnetic voice, her heart, which had been numb with pain, suddenly became clear.

Thinking of the man's status and position, Shen Yanran tightened her grip on the warmth in her hand, shook her head, and said calmly, "There's no need to go to such great lengths for me. Anyway, I never married you to show off to anyone, and I'm already very satisfied with just your words."

Shen Yanran knew that if her relationship with Li Zhanting were made public, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar, and the Shen family would be the first to be affected.

But she would never let the Shen family use her to curry favor with Li Zhanting!

Li Zhanting knew that the two of them had gotten married in a bit of a rush and there were many things they hadn't had time to prepare, but that was only a matter of time. As long as Shen Yanran was willing, he would do it. But now, after hearing what she said, he suddenly felt that those so-called ceremonies were just for outsiders to see. As long as the two of them were of one mind, that was enough.

Li Zhanting's cold face gradually softened. He gently stroked Shen Yanran's delicate hand with his slender fingers and said in a deep and affectionate voice, "You are really easy to satisfy."

In truth, all Shen Yanran ever wanted was a lifelong, monogamous relationship. She didn't care about material things at all. Unfortunately, it wasn't until that kidnapping incident that she realized how naive she had been, misunderstanding the complexities of human relationships...

However, she was also blessed with good fortune, as she met a man she never expected in her entire life.

Shen Yanran was lost in thought when suddenly her phone vibrated twice; it was a WeChat message from Wen Qian.

"Holy crap, Gao Yufeng is such a shameless bastard! He still has the nerve to say that you two have relationship problems, when he's the one who cheated on you and messed around with other women! He doesn't care about your reputation at all. What kind of man is he!"

Gao Yufeng was well aware of how bad Shen Yanran's reputation had been in recent years. Not only did he not honor the marriage agreement, but he also issued such an ambiguous statement. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Shen Yanran was not good enough for him and that he had finally dumped her.

Gao Yufeng's completely selfish declaration of annulment did indeed provoke Shen Yanran, but it also strengthened her resolve to sever all ties with the past. "It's okay, just think of it as being bitten by a dog."

Wen Qian was so angry that her eyes turned red. She continued in the WeChat message: "That beast Gao Yufeng is really infuriating! It seems that asking him for 100 million in compensation is not enough. You should have asked him for 800 million or 1 billion. He should have suffered enough to die!"

The 100 million yuan compensation was just a casual request she made, simply because she didn't want them to have an easy time. She never expected them to take advantage of her and deliberately set her up.

The Shen family also stepped forward, acknowledging the contents of the statement announcing the annulment of the engagement, once again indifferently pushing her into the abyss.

Ultimately, she also has the blood of the Shen family in her veins, so why are they so biased?

Wen Qian couldn't hear Shen Yanran's reply and assumed she was too angry to speak, so she quickly comforted her, "Yanran, don't be angry. It's not worth it for that kind of scumbag. I'll go over there right now and settle accounts with them, make them retract their statement, and then kneel down and apologize to you!"

After uttering those harsh words, Wen Qian put away her phone and left the company, her anger blazing. She then sped off to the Gao Group.

After reading the WeChat message, Shen Yanran immediately called Wen Qian back. The phone rang several times but no one answered. Her heart tightened suddenly, fearing that Wen Qian might do something rash because of her. She immediately stood up from her seat. "Oh no, Wen Qian went to Gao's. I have to go there right away."

Of course, Li Zhanting wouldn't let Shen Yanran go alone. He immediately pulled the anxious Shen Yanran aside and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll take you there."

While making a phone call to Wen Qian, Shen Yanran tightly gripped Li Zhanting's hand, as if she had found a pillar of support, and followed him outside.

Shen Yanran kept calling Wen Qian along the way, but the other party wouldn't answer, making her forehead covered in sweat.

Li Zhanting took out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and carefully wiped Shen Yanran's sweat, comforting her, "Don't worry, we'll be there soon. If your friend sees you making phone calls like this, it will easily distract her."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanran immediately pressed the lock screen button and dared not move again.

Li Zhanting was right. Wen Qian was an impatient person. If she saw her making phone calls over and over again, she would definitely be distracted while driving. She couldn't let her get distracted.

The car soon arrived at the Gao Group building. Shen Yanran eagerly opened the car door, but before getting out, she said to Li Zhanting, "Wait for me in the car."

Ultimately, this is a matter between her and Gao Yufeng, and she wants to clean things up herself so he won't have to worry about it.

Without waiting for Li Zhanting's reply, Shen Yanran rushed out and went straight to the front desk to ask, "Has anyone come looking for Gao Yufeng?"

The receptionist had long heard of Shen Yanran's reputation and already looked down on her, let alone after Gao Yufeng issued a statement announcing the annulment of their engagement. She was even less likely to take her seriously. "What do you think this place is? Do you think just anyone can see Young Master Gao?"

Shen Yanran ignored her sarcastic attitude and started to get nervous again, thinking that Wen Qian hadn't arrived yet.

Just as she was hesitating whether to call Wenqian again, a familiar yet surprised voice suddenly rang out, "Sister, what brings you here?"

Shen Yanran turned around indifferently and saw a pair of glaring figures.

The handsome man was gently embracing the charming and lovely woman in his arms.

The woman, with her pretty face upturned and a smug look on her face, watched Shen Yanran approach.

Looking at Shen Yufei's latest Chanel dress and exquisite makeup, Shen Yanran saw no sign of her impending miscarriage and sneered, "Since you're here, why shouldn't I be?"

Shen Yufei looked like she had been misunderstood and wronged, and shook her head, saying, "No, sister, you misunderstood me. I just didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital so soon."

A chill gradually settled over Shen Yanran's heart. It sounded as if she was implying that her hospitalization was all an act.

But she shouldn't forget what reason she had given to keep Gao Yufeng by her side in the first place. "Of course, he can't compare to you, a woman who's about to miscarry. In just two days, he's recovered as if nothing happened."

"Sister...you..." Shen Yufei nestled tightly in Gao Yufeng's arms, heartbroken, "You know perfectly well that women shouldn't talk nonsense during the first three months of pregnancy, yet you still cursed me like that. I'm so heartbroken..."

Gao Yufeng, holding Shen Yufei, said with a face full of disgust, "Shen Yanran, this is a public place. Watch your words and don't go too far."

Shen Yanran said with a cold and sarcastic expression, "You know this is a public place. You only announced the annulment of our engagement online not long ago, and you're already so eager to bring your mistress to the company to show off your love. You're so shameless, how dare you blame me for speaking without tact?"

Gao Yufeng's face suddenly stiffened, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in his deep eyes. "We've already broken up. You don't need to keep targeting us like this."

Shen Yanran scoffed, "You're overthinking it. I'm a human being, and I don't have time to argue with a pair of beasts."

Gao Yufeng was being openly insulted by Shen Yanran in his own company, and his dark eyes were filled with malice. "I never expected you to be so rude. Was all that polite and poised demeanor you showed me before?"

A hint of sarcasm curled up on Shen Yanran's indifferent face as she looked at the man in front of her with disdain and said, "Gao Yufeng, who do you think you are? Do you think I need to put on an act for you? Remember this, I wasn't putting on an act, you're not worthy."

Gao Yufeng unconsciously frowned, and judging from her calm tone, it was as if she had never cared.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had lost something important, something he could never get back.

Seeing Gao Yufeng's expression, Shen Yufei gritted her teeth inwardly. Shen Yanran, that bitch, has already had her engagement publicly dissolved. What does she, a woman who has been dumped by a man, have to be proud of?

However, in front of Gao Yufeng, Shen Yufei certainly wouldn't say what was on her mind. She would only squeeze out a few pitiful tears with a sad expression and ask softly, "Brother Feng, what will it take for my sister to forgive us? Does she really want me to kneel down in front of her?"

Hearing Shen Yufei's soft and restrained voice, Gao Yufeng felt a pang of heartache. He gently wiped away the glistening tears from the corners of her eyes and comforted her tenderly, "Of course not, Feifei. You must remember that you are not alone now. You must always protect your health. But you and Yanran are sisters after all. We're family, so let's not be so formal. After a while, Yanran will understand on her own. Then I'll talk to her properly, and she will definitely understand us."

Shen Yanran was getting impatient with their feigned concern. Just then, she saw Wen Qian appear at the door and walked past them indifferently.

Wen Qianfeng rushed into the Gao Group building and saw Gao Yufeng and Shen Yufei talking to Shen Yanran. She was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and rushed over. "Gao Yufeng, you shameless bastard, how dare you provoke Yanran!"

Wenqian studied Taekwondo for five years, and most men are no match for her.

However, Gao Yufeng, mindful of his status, was unwilling to clash with Wen Qian. He merely frowned and warned her inwardly, "Wen Qian, that's enough. My business with Yanran is none of your concern. Don't meddle."

Wen Qian wasn't afraid at all anymore. She had disliked Gao Yufeng for years, and there was also Shen Yufei, who always pretended to be innocent and surrounded him. "Heh, Gao Yufeng, don't you dare threaten me. Since I dared to come today, I dare to fight you to the death! And that shameless green tea bitch next to you, I won't let her get away with it either!"
