The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Lin Ruoqi grabbed Li Yanchen's large hand that was resting on her lap, raised her beautiful face, and said pitifully, "Husband, I really don't know why you say such things. Didn't we agree to never say the word 'divorce'? Besides, we finally had a baby. You can't let him be born without a mother or father, can you?"

As she spoke, she took his hand and touched her stomach.

Li Yanchen's cold gaze gradually shifted from Lin Ruoqi's delicate face to her lower abdomen. Thinking that their hard-won treasure was located there, his heart wavered once again.

Just as she said, a child cannot be born without a father or mother.

Ultimately, this is a matter between adults, and an innocent, unborn child should not have to bear the consequences.

Li Yanchen withdrew his hand, closed his pained eyes, and said in a somber voice, "Let me think about it some more."

Seeing that Li Yanchen had relented, Lin Ruoqi's anxiety finally subsided, and she began to try to please him, saying, "Then... let me help you to bed to rest."

"No need, I'll sleep in the guest room tonight. You should get some rest." Li Zhanting rejected her attempt to please him in a low voice, and then pushed his wheelchair away.

Lin Ruoqi stared blankly as Li Yanchen left, but dared not stop him.

This is insane! Absolutely insane!

She thought that after becoming pregnant, she could gain a place in the Li family because of her son, but she didn't expect to enjoy any happiness for even a day, and Li Yanchen discovered her secret.

Now that he's moved to a guest room, Jiang Meiling will definitely make things difficult for her again tomorrow morning. What should she do?

The next morning, Lin Ruoqi, who had barely slept all night, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the whole family.

Because of her age, Sun Mingyan gets up very early. Thinking that Lin Ruoqi is pregnant, she should pay special attention to her diet and drinks. She was about to go to the kitchen to give her some instructions when she saw Lin Ruoqi coming out with breakfast. "Ruoqi, what time is it? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Lin Ruoqi smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, Grandma. I went to bed early yesterday and wasn't sleepy at all. I figured I had nothing better to do, so I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone. I haven't made it in a long time, so I don't know if it will suit your taste."

Sun Mingyan quickly put the breakfast in her hand on the table next to her and said with concern, "Oh, Ruoqi, there are maids and cooks at home, why do you need to do anything? You are pregnant now, and the family's key beneficiary."

A glint flashed in Lin Ruoqi's eyes, and she said softly, "Grandma, I'm not that delicate. Besides, I'm only three months along. It's not that exaggerated."

Sun Mingyan took Lin Ruoqi's hand and said earnestly, "It's precisely because you're not yet three months pregnant that you need to be especially careful. You know how difficult it was for you and Yan'er to have this child, so you must protect yourself, understand?"

"I understand, Grandma, but yesterday..." Lin Ruoqi and Li Yanchen had gotten into such a mess, she needed to find someone else to back her up.

Sun Mingyan didn't want to bring up yesterday's unpleasantness anymore. "Let's not talk about yesterday's matter. It was just a misunderstanding. You don't need to take it to heart. Taking good care of yourself during your pregnancy is the most important thing."

Lin Ruoqi had achieved her goal. "Yes, I understand, Grandma. Thank you, Grandma."

Sun Mingyan smiled kindly and patted her head, "Silly child, we're all family, no need to thank me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Meiling arrived at the restaurant. She glanced at Lin Ruoqi expressionlessly and asked in an icy voice, "Why did you come down alone? Where is my son?"

Lin Ruoqi naturally didn't dare mention that the two of them had slept in separate rooms the night before. She instinctively hid behind Sun Mingyan and whispered, "Yanchen... he's still upstairs and hasn't gotten up yet..."

Jiang Meiling immediately glared at her with dissatisfaction, "Yanchen hasn't gotten up yet, what are you doing downstairs? Don't you know he's physically disabled and needs someone to take care of him? Don't think that just because you're pregnant you can get away with anything. Go upstairs and take care of my son."

Lin Ruoqi shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, Mom, I didn't neglect Yanchen. I just wanted to make breakfast for everyone in advance."

Jiang Meiling scoffed disdainfully, "What's the point of hiring so many people at home? You're not needed to fawn over them. If it weren't for your pregnancy, I really wouldn't even bother to say a word to you."

Sun Mingyan found Lin Ruoqi's words really grating, so she stood up for her, "Alright, Meiling, why are you so angry so early in the morning? Ruoqi came down to make breakfast for everyone out of filial piety. You should at least say thank you and thank you for your hard work. Why do you have to say such nasty things? And you expect her to serve Yanchen? Who is she? She's our Li family's granddaughter-in-law, not a hired maid. Can you please be a little more respectful to her in the future?"

"I do want to respect her, but look at what she did yesterday, making Zhan Ting so angry that he left overnight, and I don't know when he'll come back." Jiang Meiling was still thinking of finding an opportunity to repair the relationship between mother and son.

That's really bad; she completely angered him and drove him away.

Sun Mingyan had no intention of arguing with her. "What happened last night is over. Why are you still talking about him? And why did you come down by yourself? Where is Zhong Nan?"

When Jiang Meiling heard that the old lady was trying to shut her up, she pouted and said, "Zhongnan is washing up and will be down in a bit."

Sun Mingyan pulled Lin Ruoqi to sit opposite Jiang Meiling and said, "Your dad will be down in a little while, so let's sit here together and wait for them."

Li Shengtian didn't know if he had eaten something wrong, but he had an upset stomach as soon as he woke up in the morning. He was a little slower than usual when he came out of his room. At this moment, Li Zhongnan also came out of his room. He was stunned for a moment, and then immediately greeted him, "Dad, good morning."

Li Shengtian nodded slightly, then looked at the darkness under his eyes and asked with concern, "You seemed to have come home quite late last night. Is there some problem at the company?"

Li Zhongnan rubbed his temples, looking somewhat tired, and said, "There's nothing wrong with the company, but there's been a problem at the American military factory that I need to go and resolve."

Li Shengtian's expression also turned serious. "Wasn't everything resolved last time? How come something else has happened?"

"We'll have to go there to find out the specifics. I have to leave after I finish breakfast." Li Zhongnan was also puzzled, but since it concerned a matter of national importance, he had to handle it personally.

Li Shengtian asked with some concern, "Are you sure you can handle going alone? Let Zhan'er go with you."

Li Zhongnan shook his head helplessly and said, "Let's forget about Zhan'er. His wife is pregnant now, and he rarely goes to the company. How could he possibly be willing to accompany me to the United States? It would take at least half a month to go there and back."

Li Shengtian thought about it and realized it made sense. Before he got married, that kid worked like crazy. He wouldn't rest even when asked to. Now that he has a wife and a child, he doesn't even want to work anymore. He wondered who he took after in this way.

"Dad, if Zhan Ting is not comfortable, I'll go with you." Li Yanchen pushed his wheelchair up behind the two of them.

Li Zhongnan glanced at Li Yanchen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes. He was about to refuse, but he was afraid of hurting Li Yanchen's pride, so he could only change his words and say, "Your wife is also pregnant. Can you rest easy if you don't stay with her?"

“She has her grandma and mom taking care of her at home, so what do I have to worry about? As long as you don’t mind, Dad,” Li Yanchen said with a self-deprecating laugh.

Li Zhongnan frowned slightly. "You child, when have I ever disliked you? Yesterday I even told your grandfather that when you come back, I'll let you return to the company. How about this, after breakfast, go to the company and talk to your brother about this. Then you stay here and watch the company while I go to America with him."

Li Yanchen hesitated, "It wouldn't be good for me to go to the company like this, would it? Let me go to the United States with you instead."

Li Shengtian patted his shoulder and comforted him gently, "There's no need to make such a fuss. The company is our own, so who does it affect? ​​I was worried about your health before, afraid that you would overwork yourself, so I never mentioned this to you. Now that I see that you are recovering well, I had this idea. If you really feel burdened, then forget about it."

Li Yanchen had always believed that his physical disability disqualified him from working at the company, and he was also afraid of being judged. He had given up on the idea of ​​returning to the company. Now that his father had brought it up, his gloomy heart was rekindled, and he even found it hard to believe. "Dad, are you really willing to let me go back to work?"

"Of course it's true. You've always been your father's pride, and you're so capable at work. How could I let you waste your time like this?" In Li Zhongnan's eyes, Li Yanchen has always been an outstanding child, and he even thinks he's better than Li Zhanting in some aspects.

Li Shengtian also began to encourage him, saying, "Your father is right, Yan'er. The car accident was an accident, and no one wanted it, but you don't need to feel inferior because of it. You managed the company very well before, and I believe you will do even better in the future. Go ahead with confidence."

Li Yanchen looked at his grandfather and father gratefully, "Yes, I understand, Grandpa, thank you for your support."

After breakfast, Li Zhongnan went directly to the company and told Li Zhanting about having Li Yanchen return to work there.

Li Zhanting had no objections, but he was worried about his health. "It's good that my brother is willing to come back to work, but is his health alright?"

Li Shengtian nodded affirmatively, "No problem, I've already asked the doctor."

"That's good. I'll organize all my recent work and hand it over to my older brother in a bit, then I can have a holiday." Li Zhanting was just worried about not having a reason to go home and be with his wife, and his good father found him the perfect "successor".

Li Shengtian immediately glared at him with displeasure, "What vacation do you have? Who gave you a vacation? I have important matters waiting for you to come to America with me to handle."
