The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

After comforting Jiang Meiling, Li Zhanting went to the dean's office and had a detailed discussion with the neurosurgery experts, finalizing all the details of Jiang Meiling's surgery.

Although the world keeps saying how advanced Western medicine is, China's medical level is now among the best in the world, not to mention that it has Lu Ming, one of the world's best surgeons.

Li Zhanting sent Jiang Meiling all her test results and surgical details to him.

After receiving Li Zhanting's message, Lu Ming immediately replied and agreed to the surgery, and then he personally performed the operation.

It was already late at night when Li Zhanting and Shen Yanran left the hospital.

Although it was summer, the temperature at night was still too cool. Shen Yanran was only wearing a thin shirt. As soon as she stepped out of the hospital, she was shivered by a gust of cool night wind.

Li Zhanting also felt a slight chill, but he was more concerned about Shen Yanran's physical condition, so he immediately took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

Shen Yanran instantly felt a warmth spread through her body, and the man's large, warm suit instantly warmed her heart as well. "Thank you."

Li Zhanting reached out and pulled Shen Yanran into his arms, saying in a deep, seductive voice, "Let's go home."

The Li's Hospital was a bit far from where they lived, and it was already past eleven o'clock when they got home.

Shen Yanran opened the door, and before she could even change her shoes, she heard a few weak meows coming from inside.

She immediately took off her shoes and ran barefoot to the bedroom.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the little orange cat lying on the floor, meowing pitifully.

Shen Yanran immediately picked it up with a pained expression. "Little chubby, what's wrong with you? The ground is so cold. Why aren't you lying in your little bed?"

The orange tabby cat felt especially nice to touch after its bath, and Shen Yanran stroked it as she placed it in its soft and comfortable cat bed.

The little orange cat naturally didn't know its name was Rou Rou. It only knew that the woman who picked it up smelled very nice and familiar, so it naturally became affectionate and friendly towards her.

Shen Yanran's gloomy mood improved a lot because of its initiative to show goodwill.

Just as she was about to hold the little meat in her arms and stroke it, a powerful force suddenly appeared behind her and lifted her up.

Shen Yanran gasped in surprise, then looked at the man holding her, puzzled. "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly pick me up?"

"What do you think? You're worried the kitten will be cold and uncomfortable lying on the floor, but you don't know how to take care of yourself. You ran in without even putting on shoes, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Li Zhanting said in a deep voice as he helped Shen Yanran sit on the bed and put the slippers he was holding on her feet.

Shen Yanran chuckled, "I was in such a hurry that I forgot."

After saying that, she ran to Rou Rou's side, hugged it tightly in her arms and said, "Little Rou Rou, do you still remember me? I picked you up yesterday. From now on, we are a family. I am the mother and that is the father. Say hello to the father."

Shen Yanran picked up Rou Rou's front paws and pointed them at Li Zhanting, pretending to speak in a childish and cute voice: "Hello, Daddy, my name is Rou Rou."

As if understanding Shen Yanran's words, Rou Rou meowed twice in response.

Li Zhanting was at a loss for words regarding the interaction between the man and the cat. He never imagined that his first experience as a father would be for a kitten.

Li Zhanting raised his wrist, checked the time, and said in a low voice, "Alright, it's getting late. Put the cat down, go wash up, and go to bed."

Shen Yanran had been out with Li Zhanting all day and was indeed a little tired. She bent down and kissed Rou Rou, then put it back in its cat bed and gently instructed, "You have to be good when you sleep tonight and don't run around anymore, okay?"

Rou Rou nuzzled Shen Yanran affectionately with its head, as if to indicate that it understood.

Shen Yanran was finally relieved and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Li Zhanting changed into his pajamas and went to his study to continue working.

When Shen Yanran came out of the bathroom, Li Zhanting was already gone.

So she dried her hair as she walked towards the door. Sure enough, she saw that the study light was still on in the hallway. She was about to go in and tell Li Zhanting to get some rest, but she stopped at the door.

She heard Li Zhanting talking on the phone in the study, seemingly discussing Jiang Meiling's surgery with someone.

Shen Yanran didn't disturb them and quietly returned to her bedroom to prepare for sleep.

As they passed Rou Rou's cat house, the little guy suddenly raised his head, meowed twice at Shen Yanran, and then rubbed against her feet with his not-so-flexible limbs.

Shen Yanran bent down and picked it up in one swift motion. "What's wrong, Rou Rou?"

Since Rou Rou couldn't speak, she could only express her wishes through actions, and simply nestled in Shen Yanran's arms without moving.

Shen Yanran chuckled softly, "What do you mean? Do you want to sleep with me?"

Rou Rou meowed softly twice in response.

Shen Yanran stroked its soft little body and agreed without thinking, "Okay, Daddy might be busy until very late, so you can sleep with me tonight, little chubby."

After saying that, she picked up Rou Rou and took her to bed to rest. Soon, the two of them snuggled together and fell asleep.

Li Zhanting finished his work at 2 a.m. and returned to the bedroom. Seeing Shen Yanran fast asleep, he couldn't help but want to kiss her smooth, fair cheek. But before he could even get close, something furry brushed against him.

Li Zhanting looked closely and saw that Rou Rou was sleeping in its spot.

He picked up the kitten, both amused and exasperated, and placed it where it should have been sleeping.

Shen Yanran was half asleep, and subconsciously she was afraid that Rou Rou would fall off the bed because she was a restless sleeper, so she reached out to touch her, but she didn't feel anything. Just as she was about to wake up, a pair of gentle and broad hands held her small hand tightly in their own, and pulled her over with them.

Shen Yanran suddenly smelled a familiar cool fragrance, which relaxed her a lot. Then she hugged the huge human-shaped pillow and fell into a deep sleep again.

After kissing Shen Yanran's forehead without any difficulty this time, Li Zhanting fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, Shen Yanran got up very early to make breakfast in the kitchen.

When Li Zhanting woke up, Shen Yanran had just finished preparing breakfast. "You're awake. Go wash your hands and eat."

Smelling the delicious aroma on the table, Li Zhanting immediately replied, "Okay, I'll be right there."

While serving rice to Li Zhanting, Shen Yanran said, "I also prepared a breakfast for Mom. Let's take it to her after we finish eating."

Li Zhanting was somewhat surprised, after all, Jiang Meiling had never given Shen Yanran a kind look in all this time. "You...have you thought it through?"

Shen Yanran countered, "What's there to think about? Mom's in the hospital, isn't it perfectly normal for me, as her daughter-in-law, to make her breakfast and take care of her?"

“But my mother’s attitude towards you has always been…” Li Zhanting hesitated, thinking that Shen Yanran was the last person he wanted to see.

Shen Yanran knew this even without Li Zhanting saying it. "I know my mother-in-law has a lot of opinions about me, but she is your mother after all. I married you, so we are family, and she is my mother too. She is sick and hospitalized now, so it is only right that I take care of her."

For some reason, Shen Yanran always thinks of the scene when her mother, Lin Yueru, was hospitalized.

It was so lonely and unbearable. Apart from her insisting on visiting her in the hospital every day, no one else in the Shen family went to see her.

Therefore, she did not want Jiang Meiling to experience that feeling.

Li Zhanting was naturally pleased that Shen Yanran thought this way. "Okay, then we'll go over after we finish eating."

Inside the Li Family Hospital.

Just as Shen Yanran had imagined, Jiang Meiling did feel lonely and isolated.

She's not young anymore, and she can't spend all day on her phone like a young person. So, she was all alone in the huge ward, and all she could do was lie down. It was incredibly boring.

Even when the hospital nurses prepared a lavish breakfast for her, she found it tasteless.

Just then, the door to the ward opened. Jiang Meiling thought it was a doctor or nurse and, without thinking, shouted, "Get out! I don't want to see you!"

Shen Yanran stood at the door for a moment, stunned. "Mom, it's me."

Jiang Meiling immediately frowned. "What are you doing here? Where's my son?"

As Shen Yanran handed out the items in her hands, she explained, "Zhan Ting had an urgent matter at his company, so he left after dropping me off. But I told him I would come to see you when I'm not busy tonight."

Shengtian International is such a big company, it really can't function without Li Zhanting, so Jiang Meiling didn't say much. But seeing Shen Yanran made her inexplicably annoyed. "Then why did you come up here? I don't want to see you."

Shen Yanran glanced at the table next to her and saw that Jiang Meiling had only touched the food a few times, so she knew that Jiang Meiling hadn't eaten enough. "I was worried that you wouldn't be used to the food at the hospital, so I specially made breakfast and brought it to you. It's still warm. Would you like to try some?"

Jiang Meiling, however, showed no appreciation whatsoever, saying, "I don't need your fake kindness. Whatever I want to eat, I'll have my son bring it over. Now get out of here!"

"Mom, no matter how dissatisfied you are with me, you still have to eat. I'll leave once you've finished eating." Shen Yanran seemed to have anticipated Jiang Meiling's words, and wasn't angry. After saying that, she took out the breakfast she had carefully prepared.

Although it wasn't as lavish as what the hospital prepared, it was thoughtfully prepared and nutritious, and it smelled just like home.

Jiang Meiling had only eaten a few bites of breakfast and was still hungry. She was surprised to see that Shen Yanran had not only prepared breakfast but also cut fruit for dessert.

It immediately made her mouth water.

Seeing that Jiang Meiling did not refuse, Shen Yanran handed the chopsticks to her and said softly, "Mom, please eat."

Jiang Meiling glanced at Shen Yanran with complicated emotions. Thinking of what her son had said to her before, she didn't want to do anything to Shen Yanran that might offend him, so she took the chopsticks.

Shen Yanran was secretly delighted; finally, a good start...
