The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

After listening to Xu Fan's explanation, Li Zhanting immediately called Shen Yanran.

Shen Yanran had just returned to her office when her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Li Zhanting calling, so she immediately answered it.

As soon as the call connected, Li Zhanting explained, "Honey, you came to the company to see me? Why didn't you come upstairs? I was in a meeting, and the signal was blocked, so I didn't hear you. Are you alright?"

Shen Yanran said understandingly, "I'm fine. I just called you at noon to ask about Rou Rou, but I couldn't get through, so I was a little worried. I went to your company to check on you and was relieved to find out you were in a meeting. Then I went back to my company."

Li Zhanting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright. Don't worry about Rou Rou. Xu Fan has already taken it to the best veterinarian, and everything is normal. It's just a little malnourished. Just feed it more nutritious food to help it recover."

"Oh, okay? Then I'll go to the pet store after get off work tonight and buy some more treats for Rou Rou."

"No need, I've already had Xu Fan buy everything and put it at home. By the way, I might be going home a little late tonight, so you don't need to wait for me after I finish eating."

"What's wrong? Are you working overtime?"

"No, it's because my mom and my older brother's family had a conflict at the old house. It seems to be quite serious. Grandpa was so angry that he had the housekeeper take my mom to the hospital to calm down. I wanted to go back first to check on her, and then go to the hospital to see how she is. It will probably be very late, so I wanted to let you know first." Li Zhanting didn't understand Shen Yanran's intentions, but he didn't want her to worry about it either, so he didn't ask her to come with him.

A conflict has arisen?

Shen Yanran suddenly remembered what Jiang Meiling had said when she came to see them that morning. She must have argued with Lin Ruoqi about the child.

She had vaguely sensed that Jiang Meiling actually had a lot of opinions about Lin Ruoqi when they were at the old house.

Moreover, the situation has escalated to the hospital, and it's more serious than we imagined. As Li Zhanting's wife, how could she act like nothing was wrong and ignore it? Of course, she had to go back to the old house with him. "Wait for me a moment. I'll ask President Zhao for leave and go back with you to take a look."

Although she and Jiang Meiling had their share of conflicts, Jiang Meiling was, after all, her mother-in-law, and as her daughter-in-law, she still had to visit her.

Regardless of Li Zhanting's opinion, Shen Yanran hung up the phone and went directly to Zhao Qingying to ask for leave.

Upon hearing that Shen Yanran's mother-in-law was hospitalized, Zhao Qingying granted her leave without hesitation.

Hearing Shen Yanran's resolute attitude on the phone, Li Zhanting had no choice but to drive to pick her up first.

Shen Yanran had just taken leave and was walking out of the company when Li Zhanting arrived in his sports car.

As soon as she got in the car, she asked Li Zhanting about the specific situation.

Li Zhanting then repeated to her what his grandfather had told him, "That's roughly the situation."

Shen Yanran was somewhat shocked. She never expected Jiang Meiling to be so extreme, actually threatening her older brother with suicide.

She couldn't help but wonder what would happen if Jiang Meiling used the same method to threaten Li Zhanting one day.

Suddenly, Li Zhanting tightly enveloped Shen Yanran's cold little hand with his warm, large hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter what my mother says or does, I will never divorce you in this lifetime. Even if I die, I will..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yanran immediately grabbed his right hand and said seriously, "Alright, stop saying such unlucky things. I don't want to hear it."

Just hearing the word "death" made her feel terrible.

Li Zhanting grabbed Shen Yanran's small hand, kissed it repeatedly, and said, "Okay, I won't say anything, I'll listen to you."

About an hour later, Li Zhanting drove the car to the old house.

The guards at the gate saw his car from a distance and were ready to greet him.

Han Shengli received a call from the gatekeeper in the main building and immediately told Old Master Li, "Master, the second young master has arrived."

Li Shengtian was slightly taken aback. "Why is this child back? Didn't you say he didn't need to worry about us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhanting walked in from outside the door with Shen Yanran. "Grandpa, Grandma, where's my older brother? Is he alright?"

Li Shengtian said with some surprise, "Your older brother is resting in his bedroom upstairs. Apart from looking a little pale, he seems fine. But why did you suddenly come back? Didn't I tell you not to worry? And you even brought Yanran back with you."

Li Zhanting's feelings for Li Yanchen were much deeper than those for Jiang Meiling. "With such a big thing happening at home, how could I not worry? Especially my older brother. Since the car accident, although he seems to be fine on the surface, he is still very sad inside. I should go upstairs and see him."

Li Shengtian naturally knew that the two brothers had a good relationship since childhood, so he nodded and said, "Alright, then go up and see him. Your grandma and I will talk to Yanran downstairs for a while."

Li Zhanting turned around and looked at Shen Yanran for her opinion.

Shen Yanran gave him a reassuring look.

Knowing that his grandparents would not harm Shen Yanran, Li Zhanting let go of their tightly clasped hands and took the elevator upstairs.

In the old house, Li Zhanting and Li Yanchen lived next to each other. He knew the way well and arrived at the door of Li Yanchen's room. Just as he was about to knock, he heard a woman crying inside.

While crying, Lin Ruoqi complained to Li Yanchen, "Yanchen, I'm sorry. It's all because of me that Mom got so upset. It's all my fault for not being able to have a child with you."

Li Yanchen stroked Lin Ruoqi's hand and said gently, "Qiqi, don't be like this. No one can control physical ailments. I won't blame you. Besides, Mom was just momentarily confused, so don't take it too hard."

"But...but Mom can't stay in the hospital forever. What if she still thinks I'm not familiar with her after she's discharged and wants me to divorce you?" This was Lin Ruoqi's biggest worry. If she left the Li family, the Lin family wouldn't want her either, and she would really be homeless.

Li Yanchen said firmly, "No, Qiqi, I will absolutely not agree to divorce you. I will definitely try to persuade Mom again."

But Lin Ruoqi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as she said, "But Yanchen, you can persuade Mom for a while, but you can't persuade her forever. As long as I can't carry on the Li family line, she will always find me an eyesore. Besides, for our future happiness, we must have children. What do you think?"

After a few seconds of silence, Li Yanchen sighed and said, "If you really want a child, then let's adopt one."

Jiang Meiling, who values ​​lineage so much, would never allow her to bring back just any child.

Lin Ruoqi shook her head with a heavy expression. "Adoption is probably not an option. Mom wouldn't agree if she found out."

"You're not still thinking about surrogacy, are you? No, absolutely not, I won't agree to it." Li Yanchen's feelings for Lin Ruoqi were unwavering, and he would never allow his sperm to grow in a strange woman's womb, as that would make him feel like he was betraying his wife.

Lin Ruoqi certainly didn't want her child to be born in another woman's womb, so she would reject the idea of ​​surrogacy herself. "No, I only mentioned surrogacy on a whim. Now that I've calmed down, I think the best way is adoption."

Li Yanchen looked at Lin Ruoqi with some confusion, "Adoption? Whose child do you want to adopt?"

In fact, Li Yanchen had considered this method before, but he had been struggling to find a suitable candidate.

Lin Ruoqi is the only daughter in her family, with only one half-brother. She is not married yet, let alone has children.

Only the collateral branches of the Li family have children of suitable age.

But when he thought about how they had always coveted everything the Li family now possessed, and how the adopted child might be exploited in the future, he couldn't take the risk.

“I want to adopt Li Zhanting’s child. That way, we won’t have to worry about future disputes over the inheritance. After all, he’s a member of the Li family and Li Zhanting’s biological son. There’s nothing to fight over, right?” Lin Ruoqi said, as if she made a lot of sense. But in reality, she knew very well why she wanted to adopt Li Zhanting’s son.

It was all for revenge against Shen Yanran.

Since God is so blind as to prevent her from becoming a mother, then she will take Shen Yanran's child and make it her own, so that she will be disappointed!

Li Yanchen objected without hesitation: "No way. Even if Zhan Ting didn't have a child yet, I still wouldn't agree to you doing this. It's too cruel."

He wouldn't be so selfish as to separate Shen Yanran and her son because of his own special circumstances.

Lin Ruoqi wiped away her tears and argued, "How can it be cruel, Yanchen? Think about it carefully. I'm doing this for your own good, for the good of all of us. Having a child by our side is a source of comfort, and he's your own brother's child. I'll treat him like my own child. It's definitely possible. So I think as long as you're willing to ask him, Li Zhanting will definitely agree."

Li Zhanting couldn't listen anymore and pushed open the door, saying, "You're wrong. Even if my brother begs me, I won't agree."

That would be his first child. He would love and cherish him so much that he would never give the child to his older brother.

Li Zhanting's sudden voice startled Lin Ruoqi.

But when she saw the handsome and intelligent Li Zhanting appear before her, she still couldn't help but be moved.

Fearing that Li Zhanting might get angry and do something excessive to Lin Ruoqi, Li Yanchen quickly spoke up to explain, "Zhanting, don't be angry. Your sister-in-law was just saying it casually to me; she didn't mean to actually do it."
