The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Chapter 409 Her Future Days Won't Be Easy

The reporter looked somewhat embarrassed by Shen Yanran's retort, but in order to dig out more valuable information, she still braced herself and continued to ask, "Ms. Shen, you really know how to joke. Of course, I'm not as talented as you. You were first place from the auditions to the finals. Congratulations! But while you've achieved unparalleled glory here, have you thought about your half-sister's situation? She was taken away by an ambulance. Aren't you worried about her life or death at all?"

Before Shen Yanran could answer, Wen Qian stepped forward and blocked her way, saying with a displeased expression, "Are you a reporter from the Bureau of Gossip? What does Shen Yufei's life or death have to do with our Yanran? It's all her own fault, she has no one else to blame. This interview is over."

After saying that, she pulled Shen Yanran away from the interview site.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yanran remembered that Wen Qian had a very important interview today and couldn't come to watch her competition live. Why did she suddenly come?

As Wen Qian pulled Shen Yanran forward, she explained, "I rushed over as soon as my interview ended and ran into Xiaoxue. She told me about what happened on the field. Luckily, Teacher Qiao Yi and Aunt Lin are good friends and can testify for you. Otherwise, given Shen Yufei's scheming nature, she might have caused some trouble again. Speaking of which, she's really like a persistent ghost. How come I always run into her?"

Shen Yanran also felt helpless, "Maybe we are just incompatible. No matter when or what happens, I can't have her, and she can't have me."

Ten years ago, after Shen Yufei moved into the Shen family, everything around Shen Yanran, including the people, seemed to leave her overnight.

Whenever Shen Yufei is around, Shen Yanran is always just an extra. That's fine, she never intended to steal the spotlight. But strangely, whenever she is alone with Shen Yufei, some kind of accident always happens.

And that person who was always disliked and was considered the culprit without any reason was her.

She used to laugh without understanding why, and sometimes she really thought she had accidentally hurt Shen Yufei, and felt guilty a few times.

But as time went on and the incidents happened more often, even the most naive Shen Yanran realized that everything was done on purpose by Shen Yufei.

In this way, Shen Yufei became a pitiful little princess, while she became a vicious woman that everyone hated!

But things are different now. She is no longer the weak and vulnerable Shen Yanran. No matter what happens, no matter what tricks Shen Yufei plays, Li Zhanting will believe in her and protect her without hesitation.

At this moment, she also wanted to share her joy of winning the championship with Li Zhanting as soon as possible.

Shen Yanran suddenly paused and said, "Wenqian, I want to make a call to Li Zhanting. Wait for me a moment."

Wenqian said with an air of understanding, "Married women are different, huh? They have to tell their husbands everything. Okay, I'll go wait for you up ahead."

Shen Yanran blushed subconsciously, then took out her phone from her bag.

But before she could unlock the screen, her phone suddenly rang; it was Li Zhanting calling.

Shen Yanran answered the phone happily, "What a coincidence, I was just about to call you."

Li Zhanting said in his usual doting voice, "This shows that we are on the same wavelength. Come out, I'll be waiting for you at the door."

Shen Yanran felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Okay, I'll tell Wenqian and Xiaoxue, and then I'll go out to find you."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanran quickened her pace unconsciously. She had just met Wen Qian and hadn't even had a chance to speak when Xiao Xue hurriedly walked over from the other side. "Sister Yanran, I finally found you! The organizers said the celebration banquet is all set up and they're just waiting for you, the champion, to arrive."

Song Lingxue had wanted to congratulate Shen Yanran when she was announced as the champion, but there were just too many people around her, so she went backstage to tidy up her things and prepared to leave with Shen Yanran at any time.

Unexpectedly, the event organizers' staff came to ask her for help with the celebration banquet arrangements. She had just finished her work and came to find Shen Yanran.

Shen Yanran was not a very sociable person and did not want to celebrate with strangers. She could only apologize and say, "Xiaoxue, you've come at the right time. Could you please tell the organizers that I appreciate their kindness? My husband is still waiting for me outside, so I won't go. You can go for me."

Song Lingxue said somewhat awkwardly, "Sister Yanran, this... isn't quite right. This is a celebration banquet specially organized for you by the organizers. If you, the main character, aren't even here, what use is a little assistant like me?"

Wenqian was quite familiar with this kind of social public relations, so she took the responsibility upon herself, saying, "It's alright, I'll go talk to the organizers. You can go ahead first. Xiaoxue has been busy all day, so she should go home and rest early too."

Song Lingxue was worried that Wen Qian wouldn't be able to handle it alone, "Sister Wen Qian, are you sure you can manage?"

"Xiaoxue, please remove the 'ma' (吗) part. Of course I can do it, otherwise what would I be doing here? Don't worry," Wenqian assured, patting her chest.

Shen Yanran knew Wen Qian's interpersonal skills well and was grateful for her efforts. "Thank you, Wen Qian."

"Oh, don't be so polite with me. Let's go, don't keep your Mr. Li waiting." Wen Qian waved her hand generously and then saw the two of them to the door.

Shen Yanran first hailed a taxi for Song Lingxue, saying, "Xiaoxue, let me take you there first."

Song Lingxue didn't refuse, and nodded with a smile, saying, "Well then, goodbye, Sister Yanran."

Shen Yanran smiled and waved, "Take care on the road. Send me a WeChat message when you get home."

After watching Song Lingxue leave, Shen Yanran ran happily to the side of the ever-eye-catching supercar.

As soon as she approached the car door, the door automatically opened upwards like angel wings.

Without thinking, Shen Yanran bent down slightly and sat down.

This scene was witnessed by Joey, who was also preparing to sneak away.

With his broad knowledge and experience, he could tell at a glance that the man in the car must be either rich or noble, but he also saw the gentle way the man reached out to fix Shen Yanran's hair.

In fact, after he came to China, he had someone secretly investigate Shen Yanran, but for some reason, he couldn't find anything. All he knew was that she had broken ties with the Shen family and even severed all relations with them.

It now seems that the man in the sports car must have protected Shen Yanran's identity and background in order to safeguard her.

Joey breathed a slight sigh of relief. Seeing Shen Yanran living a happy life meant that when he met Lin Yueru in the future, he could finally give her an explanation.

Inside the car, Li Zhanting drove with one hand and took Shen Yanran's soft hand with the other, interlocking their fingers. Then, in a deep and charming voice, he said, "Congratulations."

Shen Yanran smiled sweetly and squeezed Li Zhanting's hand, replying, "Yes, thank you."

After a few seconds of silence, Li Zhanting continued, "Shen Yufei, what do you plan to do?"

"You already know." Actually, it was both unexpected and expected that Li Zhanting would know about Shen Yufei. After all, the competition was broadcast live, and even if Li Zhanting hadn't watched it, someone would have told him.

Li Zhanting nodded slightly and said, "Knowing that you have a match today, I asked Xu Fan to keep an eye on it."

Shen Yanran sighed slightly and said, "I thought what happened in the past was enough for her to learn her lesson, but she still insisted on walking into the line of fire and ended up with a ruined reputation. You see, even without our intervention, her future days will not be easy."

Li Zhanting's sexy lips curved into a beautiful smile. "Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. You won the championship, and I have to celebrate with you properly."

“Okay, where should we go to celebrate?” Shen Yanran’s first thought was that Li Zhanting would take her out for a delicious meal.

Li Zhanting had already decided on his destination, but he still pretended to ask her, "Where do you want to go?"

Shen Yanran naturally had no objections, "I'm fine with anything."

A meaningful glint flashed in Li Zhanting's dark eyes. "Then I'll take you to a special place to celebrate."

It would have been better if he hadn't said that. But now that he had, Shen Yanran felt like something big was about to happen. Moreover, the way Li Zhanting had looked at her just now was a bit strange, as if he was about to devour her.

Shen Yanran's heart inexplicably began to race...

When they arrived at their destination, Shen Yanran finally understood what Li Zhanting meant by "don't regret it."

It really surprised and surprised her that it was a love hotel.

She had only heard Wenqian mention such places occasionally before, saying that her colleagues were very trendy and would come up with all sorts of ways to enhance their relationship when they were bored with their boyfriends, and love hotels were one of them.

But this was an unknown world to Shen Yanran, and she was also very suspicious of why Li Zhanting knew about such a place.

The moment Shen Yanran was led into the room by Li Zhanting, her face darkened. "Why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Li Zhanting said in a wicked voice, "Isn't it obvious what I want to do? Surprised? Unexpected?"

Shen Yanran stood motionless at the door with her arms crossed, and continued to ask, "You seem to know this place like the back of your hand. Do you come here often? With whom? Your ex-girlfriend?"

Li Zhanting thought Shen Yanran was shy and didn't dare to go in, but he didn't expect to hear her ask so many questions, all of which were "life-or-death" questions.

He immediately said, trying to save face, "Song Yue recommended this place to me. It's my first time here, and I'm finding it interesting. Don't you like it? Then let's go somewhere else."

Shen Yanran narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression softening as she asked, "Really?"
