The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Shen Yanran subconsciously swallowed. In fact, even without Li Zhanting asking, she had already answered him with her actions.

From the moment she decided to marry him, she knew that their marriage would happen sooner or later.

She had made up her mind and was about to respond when her stomach suddenly growled loudly.

Suddenly, Shen Yanran's carefully constructed mental defenses crumbled. She immediately covered her flushed cheeks, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

Honestly, he hadn't eaten all day and hadn't reacted at all, but at this crucial moment, he made a sound. It's so embarrassing!

Li Zhanting couldn't help but smile wryly. The last time he wanted her, she responded with her snoring. This time, it was her stomach growling. Couldn't she just give a normal response?

But Li Zhanting was not discouraged. He gently pulled down Shen Yanran's shy hands, his fiery gaze roaming over her body: "Don't worry, husband will satisfy you!"

God!

How did he even think of saying something so shameless!

Shen Yanran's face was now as red as it could possibly be.

However, just as Li Zhanting was about to make his next move, Shen Yanran suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

Shen Yanran immediately realized that something was wrong, so she quickly got up, pushed away Li Zhanting who was pressing down on her, and rushed into the bathroom.

Li Zhanting was completely stunned and had no idea what had happened.

It wasn't until he saw a bright red stain on the wrinkled sheets that he realized why Shen Yanran had suddenly refused him.

Shen Yanran hid in the toilet, too ashamed to go out. She really couldn't face Li Zhanting.

She can even forget the exact date of her period; her memory really needs some work...

Li Zhanting glanced at the time on the wall. Shen Yanran had been inside for ten minutes and hadn't come out. He knew that many women suffered from severe menstrual cramps and even fainted during their periods. He was worried that Shen Yanran, who was physically weak, might also experience this. So he immediately got up and went to the bathroom door, asking anxiously, "Wife, are you alright? Should I call a doctor to come and take a look at you?"

Although Shen Yanran had a slight stomachache, it was a normal physiological phenomenon and not to the point that a doctor needed to examine her. She just felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to face Li Zhanting.

Li Zhanting couldn't hear anything inside and assumed Shen Yanran had really fainted from the pain. He pounded on the bathroom door, shouting, "Shen Yanran! Shen Yanran, can you hear me?!"

Shen Yanran looked at the violently shaking door and knew that if she didn't go out soon, Li Zhanting might really rush in. She took a deep breath, calmed her embarrassed mood, and slowly opened the door, saying, "I'm fine."

Li Zhanting touched her slightly pale face and said in a low voice, "Then why didn't you say anything? I thought you had fainted from the pain."

Upon hearing Li Zhanting's words, Shen Yanran knew that he already knew everything. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm really fine. I just forgot the date and wasn't prepared. You go downstairs to eat first, and I'll change my clothes and come over."

Li Zhanting could tell she was embarrassed, so he said, "Okay, I'll go downstairs first."

As soon as Li Zhanting came downstairs, he instructed Zhong Ping to immediately boil a pot of brown sugar water.

Zhong Ping, being an experienced butler, immediately understood the meaning behind Li Zhanting's instructions. "Yes, young master, I'll go and have someone prepare it right away."

When Shen Yanran came downstairs after changing her clothes, she saw Zhong Ping handing a cup of red hot water to Li Zhanting.

Hearing Shen Yanran's footsteps, Li Zhanting carefully blew on the brown sugar water in the cup to make sure it wasn't too hot before handing it to Shen Yanran.

Shen Yanran recognized the aroma of brown sugar water as soon as she smelled it. She was about to reach out to take it when Li Zhanting stopped her. "Be careful, it's hot. I'll hold it for you to drink."

Zhong Ping watched Li Zhanting's every move in astonishment. To be honest, he had worked for the Li family for decades and this was the first time he had ever seen his young master treat a woman so considerately. Even the woman he had grown up with had not received this kind of treatment.

As expected, the young master marrying the young mistress is true love...

In front of Zhong Ping, Shen Yanran really wanted to say that she could do it herself, but seeing how serious and considerate Li Zhanting looked, she couldn't bear to refuse. She followed Li Zhanting's steady and strong hands and drank a cup of hot brown sugar water.

Suddenly, she felt a warm feeling all over her body, especially in the deepest part of her heart that had been hurt countless times, which seemed to be gradually repaired at this moment.

Seeing how sweet the young couple was, Uncle Zhong wisely left quietly.

Li Zhanting said, "I saw that you were feeling quite unwell, so I asked Uncle Zhong to prepare some light and delicious dishes. Try them and see how they taste. If you don't want to eat them, I'll have Uncle Zhong tell the kitchen to make them again."

Seeing how meticulous Li Zhanting was being, Shen Yanran couldn't help but laugh and say, "I'm just on my period, it'll be fine in a few days. You don't need to make such a fuss. People who don't know better might think I have some serious illness..."

"Okay, I understand. Let's eat." Li Zhanting pulled Shen Yanran to the dining table and sat her down.

Although Shen Yanran experienced occasional severe abdominal pain, with Li Zhanting taking meticulous care of her, she suddenly felt that the pain was nothing. She even had a slight urge to hope that this period would last a little longer...

The next day, Li Zhanting was worried about leaving Shen Yanran alone at home, so he decided to take a day off to stay home with her. However, he received news that his parents had returned to China shortly after he got up.

It was Old Madam Li who personally called to inform them: "I was originally waiting for you to bring your granddaughter-in-law to see me, but I didn't expect your parents to come back first. That's fine, there's no time like the present, so come over today and let them be happy too."

Li Zhanting refused without even thinking, "No, Ranran isn't feeling well and can't go today. Let's do it another day."

Madam Li's expression changed. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Are you sick?"

When Shen Yanran finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, she overheard Li Zhanting on the phone. It seemed to be a call from his family.

Shen Yanran didn't want to leave a bad impression on the Li family because of her own trivial matter, so she quickly stopped him and said softly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm fine."

Although Madam Li was old, she was still sharp-witted and had excellent hearing. She immediately recognized the woman's voice on the other end of the phone. "I heard it. My granddaughter-in-law said it's nothing. Don't try to fool this old woman. It's settled then. You can leave home now."

Old Madam Li spoke loudly at the end, and Shen Yanran, standing to the side, naturally heard it all.

So is she going to meet Li Zhanting's family?

Li Zhanting put down his phone, looked deeply at the somewhat dazed Shen Yanran, and respectfully asked for her opinion, "You don't need to be too nervous. If you don't want to go, we won't go. At most, my grandma will scold me a bit."

Shen Yanran knew that Li Zhanting was doing it for her own good, but she didn't want him to be disciplined for no reason. Everyone cares about their own man, right?

"How can we refuse? Since the old man personally called to invite us, there's no reason for us not to go. I'll change my clothes and go with you right now."

After saying that, Shen Yanran started picking out clothes from the wardrobe, and also picked out clothes for Li Zhanting. "You should change quickly too, so your family won't be waiting."

Meanwhile, at the Li family's old residence.

Li Zhongnan, still a bit tired from just returning to China, saw his mother sitting on the sofa, holding her phone and smiling as she seemed to be thinking about something. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mom, what are you thinking about that makes you so happy?"

Madam Li immediately snapped out of her daze, and Li Zhongnan called her over happily, saying, "I just called Zhan'er and asked him to bring his wife home, and he agreed."

Li Zhanting's wife?

When did his second son get a wife? He, as the father, didn't know?

Li Zhongnan asked in confusion, "Mom, you must have misheard, when did Zhan Ting get married?"

"No mistake, no mistake. I was planning to give you and Meiling a surprise, but I didn't expect you to return to China ahead of schedule. Come and see, I have photos here." As she spoke, Madam Li showed Li Zhanting's marriage certificate to Li Zhongnan and Jiang Meiling.

Li Zhongnan and Jiang Meiling were stunned the moment they saw the photo; they could hardly believe what they were seeing.

You must understand that the Li family is not an ordinary family. Not just any woman can marry into it. She must be a daughter of a prominent family who has gone through layers of selection and careful choosing.

Now, suddenly a woman they've never even met has appeared and gotten married to their son. This is utterly ridiculous!

Jiang Meiling said with a heavy expression, "Mom, why didn't you say so earlier? How could we let a strange woman marry into our family so easily? Does she even know her place? Is she worthy of my son?"

Madam Li, however, said nonchalantly, "What difference does it make whether I say it sooner or later? Anyway, Zhan'er and that girl have already gotten their marriage certificate. Besides, you've never even met that girl, so how do you know she's not good enough for your son?"

Just as Jiang Meiling was about to argue with Sun Mingyan, a loud crash suddenly sounded behind her.

A tall, beautiful young woman with fair and lovely skin froze on the spot.

Jiang Meiling turned around, glanced at her impatiently, and said, "Lin Ruoqi, what's wrong with you? You can spill water everywhere. How can I trust you to take care of Yanchen?"
