The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

"Knock, knock, knock." The knocking sounded again.

Wen Qian assumed it was the waiter bringing the food and ignored it. Instead, she continued solemnly, "Yanran, why don't you think about it again? They say a man's words are deceitful, so don't be fooled by Li Zhanting's sweet talk!"

Out of politeness, Xu Fan knocked on the door before entering, but to his surprise, as soon as he opened it, he heard a woman's voice inside, specifically telling him not to be fooled by his boss...

These words naturally reached Li Zhanting's ears as well.

Shen Yanran knew that everything Wen Qian said was for her own good, and she understood her good intentions. Just as she was about to explain that she had actually married him and registered their marriage, she saw Li Zhanting and Xu Fan walking over.

His noble and handsome face always wore a cold expression that kept people at a distance, and his deep, cold eyes sent chills down anyone's spine.

Wen Qian had her back to the door, so she only heard footsteps but didn't know who came in. However, when she saw Shen Yanran's expression change, she knew that the person was definitely not a waiter, so she quickly turned around to look.

A man in an expensive black suit walked steadily toward the two of them.

But his deep, pool-like eyes concealed a cold, sharp edge, making people afraid to meet his gaze.

Wen Qian pursed her lips awkwardly; the powerful aura of a superior made her dare not say anything more.

Li Zhanting's deep, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his pupils, before his deep, icy voice slowly rang out, "Miss Wen, what do you think I lied to Ranran about?"

Shen Yanran noticed that Li Zhanting seemed a little unhappy, so she quickly stood up and went over to explain for Wen Qian: "I didn't say you lied to me about anything. You misunderstood. Wen Qian didn't mean that."

Just then, a ray of sunlight shone on the man, and his tall and slender silhouette gradually appeared on the ground. Every gesture he made exuded a noble and dignified air.

Wen Qian had to admit that any woman would be crazy about a man like that, let alone a woman as innocent as Shen Yanran.

Gao Yufeng's betrayal was still fresh in her mind, and Wen Qian couldn't bear to see Shen Yanran hurt again. She braced herself, met Li Zhanting's deep gaze, and solemnly said, "It's okay, Yanran. Since I dare to say it, I'm not afraid of making Mr. Li angry. But Mr. Li, do you really like Yanran?"

Li Zhanting's thin lips curved into a barely perceptible smile, then he gently pulled Shen Yanran into his arms and said in a deep, seductive voice, "She's so wonderful, why wouldn't I like her?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanran felt a tremor in her heart, and her clear and bright eyes became even more intense.

Is this... a confession?

Li Zhanting's simple words left Wen Qian speechless.

Shen Yanran never imagined that the love and warmth she had always longed for would be found in a man she had only known for three days.

Seeing Shen Yanran's pampered appearance, Wen Qian had no reason to doubt and immediately said cheerfully, "Mr. Li, I apologize for what I said before, but I also hope you understand that Yanran has had a very difficult time all these years. She really needs a man who loves her wholeheartedly to protect her."

“Ms. Wen, you may not know this, but just yesterday morning, the president and his wife obtained their marriage certificate, so your worries are completely unnecessary,” Secretary Xu stepped in to explain.

Wen Qian covered her mouth in shock. She thought it was surprising enough that Shen Yanran was dating a man in such a high position as Li Zhanting, but she didn't expect that the two not only had a whirlwind romance, but also got married in a flash. She was speechless.

Shen Yanran felt a little guilty that Xu Fan had calmly revealed something she had wanted to tell Wen Qian but hadn't had a chance to. "Wen Qian, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to keep it from you. I just hadn't had a chance to tell you yet."

It took Wenqian a while to recover from the repeated shocks.

Although she only found out about her best friend's wedding recently, she still sincerely wished her well. "Oh, there's no need for apologies between us. I'm overjoyed that you're getting married. Congratulations, Yanran."

Shen Yanran's eyes reddened slightly, her nose tingled, and she said in a choked voice, "Thank you, Wenqian."

Li Zhanting looked down at his easily moved wife with deep eyes, and suddenly felt an urge to kiss her.

Shen Yanran clearly felt the man beside her getting close. She turned her head slightly, and a handsome face was right next to her. She instinctively flinched, placing her hands on his chest, and said softly, blushing, "Don't do this, Wen Qian is still here..."

Li Zhanting raised a slight brow, his mood not quite right, and took off his coat, tossing it over Wen Qian's head before saying calmly, "Now, she's gone..."

After Li Zhanting finished speaking, before Shen Yanran could react, he domineeringly hooked her beautiful, orchid-like lips and swallowed them little by little.

"I really want to take you home right now." Li Zhanting reluctantly released Shen Yanran's rosy lips, his burning gaze fixed on her.

Shen Yanran stared blankly at the man in front of her, completely at a loss. In broad daylight, in front of her friends, he had just kissed her like that!

Wenqian was suddenly covered by the suit jacket, and her vision went completely black for a moment. When she realized what had happened, she didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Li Zhanting was really exasperated. Did he think he was performing magic, just throwing a piece of clothing over her and making her disappear?

"Cough! Cough!" Wen Qian didn't remove the clothes covering her head, but said in a muffled voice, "I said, you two, is that enough...?"

Hearing her friend's extremely helpless voice, Shen Yanran immediately snapped back to reality and pushed away the man who was reluctant to let go, saying irritably, "It's all your fault, Wenqian is angry."

While complaining to Li Zhanting, Shen Yanran carefully took off Wen Qian's suit jacket from her head.

Wen Qian "saw the light again" and immediately saw Shen Yanran's rosy lips and blushing cheeks. Without even guessing what had just happened, she couldn't help but tease, "Tsk tsk, it's a good thing I was covered by my clothes, otherwise my beautiful eyes would have been blinded by some people."

Shen Yanran's eyes flickered shyly, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."

Wen Qian straightened her slightly messy hair and glanced at the man behind Shen Yanran. "Wasn't he more dramatic than me just now?"

And the man standing respectfully behind Li Zhanting is truly impressive, with an air of "do not look at or listen to anything improper." How did he manage that?

Shen Yanran was also surprised that Li Zhanting, who was such a grown man, would do something so childish. Fortunately, she knew that Wen Qian wouldn't really be angry. "He's just like that, don't mind him."

Li Zhanting enjoyed Shen Yanran's knowing look at him. Seeing the two women chatting, he gestured to Xu Fan behind him, "Tell the manager here that the food can be served."

"Yes, President, I'll arrange it right away." Xu Fan's expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, and she turned to leave.

Wen Qian ate her lunch, which was so lavish it couldn't be more sumptuous, and was very satisfied. As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's gift is bound to him," so she naturally had to say a lot of good things about Li Zhanting, "Yanran, you've finally met the right person. You'll definitely be very happy after marrying Mr. Li."

"Mmm." Shen Yanran did not deny that since she met Li Zhanting, she had felt a care and attention she had never experienced before.

Perhaps getting married was a bit impulsive, but she wanted to spend the rest of her days with him.

Before leaving, Wen Qian couldn't help but say to Li Zhanting, "Mr. Li, from now on, you'd better treat our Yanran better, or I won't let you off the hook!"

Li Zhanting could sense the friendship between Wen Qian and Shen Yanran, and he knew how important she was to Shen Yanran. So he solemnly promised, "Miss Wen, rest assured, I will only be good to Ranran for the rest of my life, until death do us part."

Wen Qian smiled reassuringly, "Alright, I won't disturb your honeymoon any longer, goodbye."

Watching Wen Qian drive away, Shen Yanran felt a mix of emotions. For a long time, Wen Qian had always been there for her in any problem. Now that Wen Qian had Li Zhanting, she hoped that her best friend would find her own happiness soon.

Just then, Xu Fan drove up, got out of the driver's seat, and went around to the back to open the car door for Li Zhanting and Shen Yanran. "President, Madam, please get in the car."

Shen Yanran didn't move, but instead carefully looked Xu Fan up and down.

He looked every bit the business elite, dressed in a well-tailored bespoke suit, which indicated that he had a good income. He was also extremely handsome, about 1.85 meters tall, exactly the type that Wen Qian would like. I wonder if he has a girlfriend.

Xu Fan tensed up under Shen Yanran's gaze, and he also felt the president's cold stare, which made him freeze. He asked nervously, "Madam, is there a problem?"

Shen Yanran didn't think much of it and asked directly, "Secretary Xu, do you have a girlfriend?"

Xu Fan never expected Shen Yanran to ask this. She glanced at Li Zhanting's unpleasant expression and didn't know whether she should say she had a girlfriend or not.

Seeing Xu Fan's troubled expression, Shen Yanran suddenly felt that it was a bit impolite to ask such a question, since it involved personal privacy. She quickly changed her words and said, "Well, I was just asking casually. It's okay if you don't want to say. Let's go."

"Xu Fan, Madam asked you, so just answer," Li Zhanting suddenly said in a cold voice.

"Yes, President." Xu Fan nodded, then explained to Shen Yanran in detail, "I have a girlfriend I've been dating for three years, and we plan to get married at the end of the year."

"Really? Then congratulations in advance, Secretary Xu." Shen Yanran nodded with a hint of regret. So Secretary Xu is getting married. It seems I'll have to ask someone else for Wenqian.

When Li Zhanting saw that Shen Yanran seemed very disappointed, a nameless fire suddenly ignited in his heart.
