Shen Yanran didn't actually have any special plans for today; she just wanted to go out and look for a job. However, she didn't want Li Zhanting to know that she wanted to achieve her dreams through her own abilities.

But Shen Yanran couldn't find a suitable reason right away, so she had to bring up her best friend, "I...I made plans to go shopping with Wenqian today, what's wrong, is there something you need?"

Li Zhanting finished drying Shen Yanran's hair, put the hairdryer aside, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, I just wanted to take you somewhere, but since you've already made plans with your friends, I'll take you there during dinner."

Hearing this, Shen Yanran became very curious. "Where are you taking me?"

"It's a secret for now." A mysterious smile appeared on Li Zhanting's noble and handsome face.

Shen Yanran smiled slightly, looking rather mysterious.

She glanced at the time on the wall; it was almost nine o'clock. She urged Li Zhanting to hurry up and change his clothes, saying, "You're going to be late for work, hurry up and change."

Li Zhanting said unhurriedly, "The company's working hours are set for the company's employees. As the boss, I am not subject to these restrictions, so I can start work whenever I want. However, since my wife has spoken, I will of course obey."

After saying that, Li Zhanting turned and walked towards the wardrobe next to him.

Shen Yanran turned around and glanced at the man who was changing clothes.

With his handsome and sculpted features, deep and striking like a knife, and his high-end and fashionable suits that perfectly showcased his physique, he seemed to possess the aura of a born king, leaving an unforgettable impression.

However, a meaningful smile played on his handsome face. "Come here."

Shen Yanran's nerves tightened instinctively; her intuition told her that going over there now would surely lead to trouble. "No."

Li Zhanting raised an eyebrow slightly, his deep voice filled with seductive allure as he said, "Are you sure you don't want to come?"

Shen Yanran's clear and bright eyes flickered slightly as she looked at the perfectly sculpted man before her. Her face flushed slightly, and she pursed her lips, parting them slightly, "I won't go."

It's not about what Li Zhanting wants to do now; it's about her being afraid that she might impulsively do something to him. It's better not to go through with it.

Li Zhanting raised his eyebrows and slightly curled the corners of his mouth. Since the mountain wouldn't come to him, then he would come to the mountain.

Out of the corner of her eye, Shen Yanran noticed that the man had already started walking towards her. She subconsciously looked up and was about to say something when she saw an exquisite and high-end tie being placed in her hand.

Then the man extended his good finger and lightly tapped her smooth, fair forehead, his deep, sexy voice chuckling, "What's going on in your little head? I called you over to help me tie my tie, not to...eat you. What are you afraid of?"

Shen Yanran's eye twitched slightly. She had had a little thought just now, but she would never admit it.

Holding the tie in his hand, he said somewhat confusedly, "But I don't know how to tie a tie."

"It's okay, I'll teach you." Li Zhanting seemed very satisfied with Shen Yanran's answer. No matter what it was, as long as it was her first time, it had to be his.

After saying that, he took her hand and put the tie around his neck, instantly closing the distance between them.

"First, do it like this... then do it like this." Li Zhanting patiently taught Shen Yanran how to tie her tie.

Shen Yanran's soft little hand was tightly enveloped by the man's slightly rough big hand. She didn't know whether to look at their hands or how the tie was tied together, and even her heartbeat started to quicken involuntarily.

"Alright, have you learned it?" Li Zhanting said, but he still didn't let go of Shen Yanran's hand.

Seeing that he had tied his tie, Shen Yanran took her hand back, nodded with a slightly flushed face, and said, "Mm."

Li Zhanting undid all his ties at once, put them back in Shen Yanran's hands, and said domineeringly, "Fine, then tie them for me again."

Shen Yanran was speechless. She had already tied it, so why did she have to tie it again? Was it to test her learning ability?

At this moment, Li Zhanting had already begun to bend down gently for her in a gentlemanly manner, ready to help.

Seeing him like this, what could Shen Yanran say? She breathed a sigh of relief, and with the movements he had taught her in mind, she carefully retied his tie.

But since it was her first time tying a tie herself, she looked so bad that she was embarrassed to look up at him.

Li Zhanting glanced down at the collar of his shirt, at the expensive tie that resembled the red scarf worn by elementary school students, and smiled helplessly. "It seems that Mrs. Li's academic level needs improvement."

She only learned it once, and the way she tied it was already quite good, okay? Yet he still mocked her. She pouted somewhat displeasedly and said, "If Mr. Li thinks my tying is not good, just take it off."

As she spoke, Shen Yanran tried to take off the tie she had just tied.

Li Zhanting refused and immediately reached out to stop him, saying, "Who said it's not good-looking? I like it just the way it is."

To be honest, even Shen Yanran herself couldn't stand the tie she was wearing, yet he still said he liked it. "Hehe, Mr. Li's taste is truly exceptional."

"Of course, I have exceptionally good taste in wives," Li Zhanting proudly raised his head, his tone full of doting affection, "And, you have to call me husband..."

Shen Yanran knew very well that since they were married, they had to fulfill their obligations as husband and wife. Besides, they had already done everything they should and shouldn't have done last night, so what difference did it make if they had a different title?

“Li Zhanting…” Shen Yanran raised her head and re-examined the man who had given her a new lease on life.

“…” Li Zhanting did not respond.

"Husband..." Shen Yanran called her again.

This time, Li Zhanting finally nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, wife."

Shen Yanran heard his low laughter above her head and instinctively felt her cheeks burn.

Li Zhanting looked at Shen Yanran intently for a moment, a doting smile always on his lips.

Just then, a soft, polite knock sounded on the bedroom door, followed by the voice of the butler, Uncle Zhong, "Young Master, Secretary Xu has arrived."

Upon hearing the voice, Li Zhanting quickly regained his usual calm and mature demeanor. "Okay, I understand. Tell him to wait for me at the door."

Upon hearing that Li Zhanting was leaving, Shen Yanran, knowing she would be going out soon as well, got up to change her clothes and head out.

However, she realized something was wrong when she was halfway through taking off her clothes. It seemed like a pair of eyes were watching her, so she immediately turned around and looked back.

Sure enough, she saw Li Zhanting's deep, enigmatic eyes looking at her with a half-smile.

Shen Yanran blushed and threw a clothes hanger at her, saying, "What are you looking at? Go to work."

Li Zhanting gently stepped aside, dodging the flying clothes hanger, and then a doting smile appeared on his lips: "Okay, my dear wife."

This time, Shen Yanran watched Li Zhanting leave with her own eyes before she felt at ease enough to change her clothes.

After changing her clothes, Shen Yanran called Wen Qian. "Wen Qian, do you have time today? I'd like to talk to you about something."

Wenqian readily agreed, "Sure, I was just thinking of asking you to go shopping with me. Let's meet at Gate 2 of Xinrui Plaza and talk as we shop."

As Shen Yanran walked downstairs, Uncle Zhong came over from the side and said with a smile, "Young Master said before he left that you were going out in a little while, so he asked me to prepare a car for you. It's waiting at the door, and you can leave at any time."

Shen Yanran was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Zhanting to have prepared such a small thing for her. "Okay, I understand, thank you Uncle Zhong."

"Young Madam, you're too kind. It's what I should do. Oh, and this is also what the young master asked me to give you. The password is your birthday." As he spoke, Zhong Ping took out a black bank card with gold lettering from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yanran.

"Oh, thank you." Shen Yanran reached out and took the bank card that was gleaming with a faint golden light, a sweet smile appearing on her delicate face.

It feels really good to be pampered like this without any conditions.

Half an hour later, Shen Yanran arrived at Xinrui Plaza in the car arranged by Li Zhanting.

This place covers a large area and is located in the city center, a bustling area that integrates shopping, leisure and entertainment.

Moreover, the area has a large flow of people and a dense population, so the foot traffic of the newly established department store should not be underestimated.

The department store contains mid-to-high-end brands, international brands, and luxury goods stores—it has everything.

It's also a must-visit place for the sons and daughters of high society.

This is also one of the industries under Shengtian International.

Shen Yanran got out of the car and hadn't walked far when she saw Wen Qian waiting for her at the fountain in the center of the square.

Wen Qian also saw Shen Yanran at the same time, and happily raised an arm, waving it and saying, "Yanran, I'm here."

Shen Yanran quickened her pace and met up with Wen Qian.

Looking at the radiant Shen Yanran, Wen Qian smiled with satisfaction, "Yanran, you have to admit, married women are different; they all become even more beautiful than before."

Shen Yanran subconsciously touched her cheek. "Really?"

"Of course I have them. Did you think I wouldn't see the 'little strawberry' on your neck just because you're wearing a turtleneck today? Tsk tsk... My Yanran has really grown up... Hahaha." Wen Qian teased Shen Yanran while touching her rosy and lovely face.

Shen Yanran's face was already flushed, and she pulled away Wen Qian's small hand that was bothering her face, saying helplessly, "Stop fooling around, I have something important to tell you."

Wen Qian pulled Shen Yanran's arm and asked intimately, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Tell me, Madam Li, what brings you here?"

Shen Yanran, who always spoke freely with Wen Qian, said directly, "You know a lot of people, could you help me ask which jewelry design companies are currently hiring? I'd like to give it a try."
