The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

The Li family's old residence, Jialong Manor.

As soon as Li Zhanting entered the door, he heard Li Shengtian's hearty laughter, "Rongrong, you really have changed a lot as you grow up. You've become more and more beautiful. I never thought that the tomboy of the past would grow up to be so pretty."

Sun Mingyan also smiled happily and said, "Rongrong, you must be twenty-five or twenty-six this year. Do you have a boyfriend yet?"

"Not yet, I... I'm not in a hurry, I want to wait until I find a job first." Chen Rongrong glanced shyly at the two elderly people in front of her, then lowered her head bashfully.

Li Shengtian looked at his old comrade's granddaughter with increasing satisfaction. "How can you not be in a hurry? Before you came, your grandfather told me that he had to find you a suitable partner, or he would never forgive me."

"I'm really not in a hurry, Grandpa Li, you don't take my grandfather's words to heart." Although Chen Rongrong said this, she was already overjoyed inside.

Sun Mingyan, having been a woman of Chen Rongrong's age, could tell that Chen Rongrong was just too embarrassed to admit it. "You kids of this generation, really, always saying you're not in a hurry, but we elders are so anxious. Take Zhan'er for example, he's already 30 this year and doesn't even have a girlfriend yet."

"How could that be? Zhan Ting is so outstanding, how could he not have a girlfriend yet?" Chen Rongrong asked, feigning surprise. In fact, she had already inquired about Li Zhan Ting's relationship status and came prepared.

"Why not? That brat, all he does is work, work, work all day long." Li Shengtian was grumbling when he suddenly saw Li Zhanting walking over. He immediately frowned and asked unhappily, "You've got some conscience, you came back pretty quickly."

Chen Rongrong finally met the man she had longed for, but she was too nervous to say anything.

However, her reaction was naturally noticed by Sun Mingyan, who was sitting opposite her. So she took the initiative to introduce the two young people: "Zhan'er, come here, let me introduce you. This is Rongrong. You met her when you were little. You two were very good friends back then."

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Zhanting looked expressionlessly at the somewhat flustered woman on the sofa.

Chen Rongrong stood up from the sofa with a shy expression, then nervously reached out to greet Li Zhanting, saying, "Brother Zhanting, it's been a long time."

In fact, Li Zhanting didn't have much of an impression of Chen Rongrong anymore. He only remembered that there was a crybaby who kept running around behind him, which annoyed him a lot.

However, back then her name seemed to be Chen Rong, and she was a boy. I never expected that when we met again, she would be a girl.

"Hmm." Li Zhanting didn't reach out, but simply nodded calmly as a greeting.

When Li Shengtian saw Li Zhanting's dismissive attitude, he became a little angry. No matter what, Chen Rongrong was his old comrade-in-arms' beloved granddaughter. How could he be so rude to her? "Li Zhanting, speak properly to me."

Chen Rongrong awkwardly withdrew her hand. Seeing that Li Shengtian was angry, she quickly pretended to be generous and said, "It's okay, Grandpa Li. Maybe I look quite different now than when I was a child. Zhan Ting and Brother Zhan Ting didn't recognize me for a moment. We'll get to know each other better in a bit."

Li Zhanting glanced indifferently at Chen Rongrong, who was explaining herself, but didn't pay her any more attention. He simply said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I've already met the person. I have other things to do, so I'll leave now. I'll come to see you again when I have time."

When Chen Rongrong heard that Li Zhanting was leaving, she became anxious, but she didn't know how to say anything.

Sun Mingyan, however, said somewhat unhappily, "You child, what's the rush? Rongrong and you haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's catch up. Your grandfather and I are going to the kitchen to see how lunch is going. You can stay and eat with us too."

Li Shengtian also glared at Li Zhanting in the shadows, warning him not to leave, before leaving with Sun Mingyan.

The reason why Li Zhanting was called back by his two elders in such a hurry was obvious: to arrange a blind date for him.

If he were still single as before, he would just go along with the wishes of the two elders and deal with it. But now he is a married man, so naturally he has to "remain chaste" for his wife.

For a moment, only Li Zhanting and Chen Rongrong remained in the large living room.

Chen Rongrong deliberately straightened her back, revealing her beautiful figure in an attempt to attract Li Zhanting's attention.

But Li Zhanting didn't even glance at her; he simply took out his phone and casually started browsing.

Chen Rongrong and Li Zhanting have known each other since they were children. At that time, she was the only child in her family, but because she was a girl, she was not well taken care of and was dressed up as a boy by her parents from a young age.

However, she liked Li Zhanting from the first time she met him and wanted to regain her female identity and confess her feelings to him.

Unfortunately, the Chen family encountered problems in politics at this time and had to immigrate, thus losing contact with Li Zhanting.

Time has passed, but Chen Rongrong has never given up her wish to marry Li Zhanting. So, she came to the Li family under the pretext of visiting her grandfather's old comrade-in-arms.

She used to be a tomboy with no appeal, but now she has changed a lot and is becoming more and more like a well-bred young lady. She even changed her name so that she would be worthy of Li Zhanting when she met him one day.

But for some reason, when Li Zhanting saw her, he acted as if she were a stranger, ignoring her completely.

"Brother Zhanting, it's been almost eighteen years since we last met, hasn't it? When we were little, you used to play with me every day..." In order to have something to talk about with Li Zhanting, Chen Rongrong had no choice but to take the initiative to bring up their wonderful past.

Li Zhanting acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued scrolling through his phone.

When Chen Rongrong saw that Li Zhanting still didn't speak, her face turned pale.

But I don't want to give up such a rare opportunity.

So she picked up an orange from the table in front of her, carefully peeled it for him, and handed it to him, saying, "Brother Zhanting, this orange is very sweet, you should try it."

Li Zhanting looked at the orange segment that suddenly appeared in front of him and said with a low, oppressive aura, "Take it!"

Chen Rongrong was startled and panicked, so the orange segments she was peeling fell onto Li Zhanting.

Li Zhanting immediately stood up in disgust and said coldly, "Stay away from me."

Chen Rongrong had wanted to get closer to Li Zhanting, but her plan backfired, and she was even rejected by him. Unable to bear it any longer, she burst into tears. "I'm sorry, Brother Zhanting... I didn't mean to, I... I..."

Grandpa Li and Sun Mingyan, who had been hiding in the kitchen, came out as soon as they heard the crying.

"What's wrong? What happened? Rongrong, why are you crying?" Sun Mingyan walked over to Chen Rongrong with some concern and asked.

Chen Rongrong just kept her head down and cried without saying a word, as if Li Zhanting had done something to wrong her and she had suffered all kinds of grievances.

Li Shengtian's face darkened, and he asked Li Zhanting in an annoyed tone, "What happened? Did you bully Rongrong?"

He knew Li Zhanting's temper all too well; it must have been that he hadn't given the person a friendly look and had ignored them.

Li Zhanting dislikes it most when someone gets close to him without permission, especially a woman who has ulterior motives towards him.

His innate germaphobia made him unable to tolerate it any longer, and of course he didn't bother to explain that it was Chen Rongrong who deliberately provoked him.

Although Chen Rongrong cried because she felt wronged, she was genuinely afraid of angering Li Zhanting. She came here to marry him; otherwise, it would be even harder for her to maintain her position in the Chen family...

"Grandpa Li, please don't be angry. It has nothing to do with Zhan Ting. I accidentally dirtied his clothes, that's why he's angry." Chen Rongrong wiped away her tears and quickly explained for Li Zhan Ting.

Li Shengtian glanced at the trampled oranges on the ground and sighed helplessly, "It's no big deal, Zhan'er, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. If your clothes are dirty, just change them. There are plenty of clothes for you in the old house. Look how scared you've made Rongrong."

Knowing that Li Zhanting's condition was due to his obsessive-compulsive disorder, Sun Mingyan immediately called the butler, "Old Han, take the second young master upstairs to change into a new set of clothes."

Han Shengli arrived upon hearing the voice, "Yes, Madam."

Then he immediately bowed slightly to Li Zhanting and said, "Second Young Master, please come with me."

"No need." Li Zhanting took off his coat expressionlessly and threw it into Han Shengli's hands. "Uncle Han, throw this coat away."

Chen Rongrong's face turned pale, unable to believe that Li Zhanting had despised her to this extent!

She just accidentally touched it with her hand, and someone casually threw away a suit jacket worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Sun Mingyan also felt that Li Zhanting had gone too far. "Alright, Zhan'er, Rongrong didn't mean to. What you did was very impolite."

The elderly couple originally thought that the two children were childhood sweethearts with a foundation of affection, and that this meeting would surely rekindle their romance.

After all, their grandson is already thirty years old, the age to settle down and start a family. It won't do for him to stay single forever.

But to their utter surprise, Li Zhanting was so stubborn that he refused to give them a kind look and even made the girl cry. How could they possibly explain this to Chen Rongrong's grandfather?

When Chen Rongrong saw how much Li Zhanting disliked her, she cried even more aggrievedly, and tears kept falling down her face.

Li Zhanting hated women who cried endlessly in front of him. He had only come today to talk to his grandparents and ask them to stop arranging blind dates for him, but he didn't expect to run into such trouble. He should have known better than to come; at worst, he would have just been scolded.

Li Shengtian comforted Chen Rongrong for a few words, but when he wanted Li Zhanting to apologize, he found that Li Zhanting had already left without saying a word!
