The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Lin Ruoqi looked at everyone with a gloomy expression, while they were all overjoyed that Shen Yanran was pregnant with twins.

Just a second ago everyone was happy for her pregnancy, but the next second it seemed like they had forgotten her existence and were only thinking about celebrating for Shen Yanran.

Lin Ruoqi was unwilling to accept this and couldn't swallow her anger. Even if it wasn't for herself, but for the child in her womb, she was determined to fight for it.

Li Yanchen, however, did not think as far ahead or as deeply as Lin Ruoqi. When he heard such good news, all he could think about was that after the children of the two families were born, they would not be too lonely, and the lively scene of the three children playing together.

However, when he turned around, wanting to say something to Lin Ruoqi, he noticed that her expression was rather unpleasant, and his heart immediately tightened. "What's wrong, wife? You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Lin Ruoqi gently rubbed her forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "I think it's because of jet lag; my head suddenly feels a little heavy."

Li Yanchen said with concern, "Then I'll accompany you upstairs to rest for a while."

Lin Ruoqi shook her head and refused, "No need. Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom are all so happy right now. I don't want to suddenly leave and spoil everyone's fun."

While Sun Mingyan was happy, she also noticed the two people whispering to each other. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be in a bad mood. "What's wrong, Yan'er, Ruoqi? Why do you two suddenly look so pale?"

Li Yanchen frowned slightly and explained, "Grandma, Qiqi isn't feeling well. I wanted to take her upstairs to rest, but she saw you all so happy and didn't want to spoil the mood..."

Lin Ruoqi suddenly pulled Li Yanchen aside, interrupting him, "No, Grandma, don't listen to his nonsense, I'm fine."

Sun Mingyan earnestly advised, "Child, what time is it? Why are you still being stubborn? This pregnancy has already been difficult for you. What if something goes wrong? Go upstairs and rest. I'll have the kitchen make you some bird's nest porridge to nourish your body."

Lin Ruoqi nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Grandma. I'll go upstairs to rest now."

Li Yanchen naturally wanted to stay with his wife. "Grandma, I'm going upstairs with Qiqi."

Sun Mingyan immediately nodded and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. You two really need to get some rest. I'll call you before dinner tonight."

Li Yanchen accompanied Lin Ruoqi upstairs to their old room, where everything was just as it had always been, as if they had never left.

Logically speaking, people who have been away from home for a long time should feel comfortable and at ease when they return to a familiar room, but at this moment, Lin Ruoqi felt hostile towards this room.

Because every decoration here was installed according to Jiang Meiling's preferences, and none of them were her own. In the past, she dared not express any opinions, but now that she is carrying the child that the Li family has been longing for, she has the right to say "no"!

Lin Ruoqi walked to the bedside and tugged at the pristine white sheets, saying indifferently, "Yanchen, have Butler Han find someone to replace everything in the house. I don't like it."

Li Yanchen asked in surprise, "You don't like it anymore? Why? Everything here is something we've used for almost a year. Why are you suddenly saying you don't like it anymore?"

Lin Ruoqi touched her belly and said with a good reason, "Maybe my mindset has changed since I got pregnant, so the things I like have changed too. I'll change them all, otherwise I won't be able to rest at all."

Li Yanchen thought that this was not an excessive request, and it was just to let her get some rest, so he nodded in understanding. "Okay, then I'll have Butler Han send someone up to change the things. However, this change will probably take a long time. Didn't you just say you were dizzy? Why don't you go to Zhan Ting's bedroom to rest for a while?"

Lin Ruoqi had the same idea. "Okay, I'll go sit down for a while and come back when I'm done changing."

After saying that, he walked out without turning his head, and then went to Li Zhanting's room next door.

This is the room she used to frequent before she married Li Yanchen; it holds many memories for her, including those with Li Zhanting.

At that time, she always thought that Li Zhanting liked her, but he was just not good at expressing himself. She was also a young girl in love and secretly liked him, but was too shy to confess.

Until one day, her family told her that the Li family had decided to get engaged to her. She was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, and she waited expectantly for the next day when Li Zhanting appeared at the Lin family and got engaged to her.

Unexpectedly, the person who came that day was Li Yanchen, a man who only regarded him as an older brother.

It was from that moment that she realized the so-called engagement by the Li family was merely a way to provide relief to the Lin family.

To put it bluntly, it's like selling your daughter.

If Li Yanchen hadn't stepped forward in time to say he liked her and wanted to marry her, she might have already been engaged to a man in his fifties...

Lin Ruoqi wished that the man who stood up for her back then was Li Zhanting, that the man who said he liked her was Li Zhanting.

Even though she was unwilling a hundred times over, she had no choice but to agree, otherwise she would never have the chance to see Li Zhanting again.

After her engagement with Li Yanchen ended, Lin Ruoqi wanted to find an opportunity to explain to Li Zhanting, but he refused to even see her.

She thought he was angry that she had married his brother, which was why he ignored her and even left the Li family to join the army, where he stayed for more than three years.

If Li Yanchen hadn't been in a car accident and fallen into a coma, causing the company's stock to plummet and giving many enemies an opportunity to take advantage and steal a large amount of stock, Li Zhanting might not have returned to the Li family to take charge.

The man Lin Ruoqi had been longing for had returned, and she was overjoyed, showering him with care and concern almost every day.

But Li Zhanting never responded to her, and she always thought that Li Zhanting was still angry with her, until the day he got a marriage certificate with a woman named Shen Yanran, and he doted on her a lot!

She then realized that the reason she had always believed was nothing but a joke; Li Zhanting never loved her, and never had...

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoqi's eyes hardened, wishing she could destroy all of Shen Yanran's belongings in the room.

Lin Ruoqi looked around and finally fixed her gaze on the large bed not far away.

She slowly walked over, then lay down where Li Zhanting had slept. The faint, cool fragrance of the pillow made her feel as if Li Zhanting were lying beside her, causing her to blush involuntarily. "Zhanting..."

Li Yanchen was worried about leaving Lin Ruoqi alone in Li Zhanting's room, so he gave the housekeeper a few instructions and came over. Unexpectedly, he found her lying on Li Zhanting's bed, oblivious to everyone else.

A complex look suddenly appeared in Li Yanchen's gentle eyes. His wife was sleeping in her own younger brother's bed, and she seemed to be calling out her brother's name. It was all very strange.

But he quickly shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off that unrealistic thought from his mind. Then, pretending that he hadn't seen or heard anything, he stepped back to the door, his voice much lower than usual, "Qiqi, the room is almost ready. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Lin Ruoqi, who was in bed fantasizing about sleeping with Li Zhanting, felt a jolt in her heart when she heard the sound. She hurriedly sat up and subconsciously looked up at the door. Seeing that Li Yanchen had not yet come in, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the man she longed for was Li Zhanting, her current status did not allow her to behave in any strange way. Especially considering what happened earlier, lying on Li Zhanting's bed, anyone who saw it would find it inappropriate, and she certainly couldn't let Li Yanchen see it, since she was counting on him to pave the way for her child's future.

As Lin Ruoqi quickly tidied up Li Zhanting's bed, she replied to Li Yanchen, "I know, I'll be right there."

Li Yanchen sat in his wheelchair, quietly waiting for Lin Ruoqi to come out, but his mood grew heavier and heavier. He didn't know why the scene he had just seen kept playing in his mind.

He really hoped he had misunderstood...

When Lin Ruoqi saw Li Yanchen at the door, perhaps because she felt guilty, she didn't even dare to look at him before returning to her room.

Downstairs, Jiang Meiling watched the housekeeper and a group of servants going in and out as if they were moving house, and found it strange, so she asked, "Housekeeper Han, what are you doing?"

Han Shengli stopped and explained respectfully, "Young Master thinks the things in the room are too old and wants to replace them with new ones, so I brought people upstairs to bring down the old things and then took new ones from the storeroom to replace them."

Jiang Meiling then noticed that the so-called old things the servants were carrying were things she had previously asked people to prepare for Li Yanchen's room.

When she was decorating these things, Lin Ruoqi had different opinions, but she was scolded by her, so she didn't dare to say anything more. Now, she's taking advantage of her pregnancy to remove everything that she arranged without even giving a heads-up. She's really audacious!

Jiang Meiling immediately became furious and said, "This is outrageous! She's touched by my things? She's really giving me too much credit! Old Han, have someone send me the things again, and don't replace a single one, do you hear me!"

Han Shengli was somewhat troubled, "But what about the eldest young master?"

Jiang Meiling's voice rose considerably in anger, "Yanchen is my son, he listens to me. I said no replacements, and that's final! You all need to return the items to me right now!"

Sun Mingyan, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard Jiang Meiling's shouts and immediately came out. "What's wrong now, Meiling? Why are you shouting again?"

Jiang Meiling said without any mercy, "It's all because Lin Ruoqi is shameless. She came back and immediately changed all the decorations I had made for Yan'er's room without even saying hello. Isn't she obviously trying to give me a hard time because she's pregnant?"
