The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Shen Yanran was genuinely surprised that he would say such romantic things when she casually mentioned a bag. Her fair and delicate face flushed involuntarily. "I know you're good to me, but I really don't need that many bags. Just buy one for Wenqian for me. I'll send you a picture in a bit."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Aunt Wang's voice rang out from outside the door: "Mrs. Li, are you up yet? I've made breakfast for you, eat it while it's hot."

Shen Yanran quickly said to the man on the phone, "I'm not talking to you anymore, Aunt Wang is calling me for dinner, bye-bye."

Li Zhanting suddenly spoke up, stopping her from hanging up the phone, "Wait, I have something else to say."

Shen Yanran turned off the speakerphone and held the phone to her ear, asking, "What is it?"

All that could be heard from the phone was Li Zhanting's deep, captivating voice, "I love you, my wife..."

Shen Yanran's usually calm heart suddenly started pounding. She took a deep breath and uttered the same three words, "I love you too."

She hung up the phone immediately after saying that, otherwise she was really afraid that her heart would jump out of her mouth.

It's so embarrassing!

Li Zhanting held onto his phone, not putting it down for a long time, as if the call had never ended, because at this moment his mind was replaying Shen Yanran's words.

It sounds so good!

When Xie Tingrui came to find Li Zhanting, he was holding his phone with a sweet and happy look on his face. It was obvious that he must have been happily talking to his wife again.

Although he didn't want to bother him, work was the priority at the moment.

So he coughed lightly twice, as a way of reminding him that someone was coming.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhanting put down his phone, his gentle expression gradually turning cold. "When did you arrive? Why didn't you knock?"

Xie Tingrui felt he had been wronged. "Brother, I knocked on the door several times but you didn't answer. I thought something had happened to you, so I pushed the door open and came in. Who knew you were just holding your phone and grinning like an idiot, completely unaware that I was there."

Li Zhanting wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he glanced at him and said, "This isn't a silly grin. It's a happy grin. You don't understand the joy of having a wife."

Xie Tingrui rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "Hey bro, are you ever going to stop? You keep using this to provoke me. Is it really that funny?"

Li Zhanting didn't mind teasing him a bit more, "Interesting, very interesting, since you're the only single one among the three of us."

Xie Tingrui's eyes widened as he pointed at himself and complained, "Heavens! I've been running around doing things for you, and even if I haven't done anything right, I've still put in the effort, right? And you're still mocking me? Is there no justice in this world?"

"I know you've helped me a lot. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'm planning to work with you on that smart brain project in China. Are you interested in learning more about it?" Li Zhanting was aware of Xie Tingrui's contributions and naturally wouldn't let him help for nothing. Moreover, he was far more skilled in high technology than Xie Tingrui, and his involvement would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Xie Tingrui was already eager to try, "Of course I'm interested. When we get back to China, I'll go visit your company."

Li Zhanting immediately agreed, "No problem."

Xie Tingrui straightened his face and said, "Okay, enough small talk, let's get down to business. The stolen design is just a prototype. They can't do much with it. The key design details and research process are all in my head. No one can steal them. Just give me another three months, and it should be almost finished."

Li Zhanting patted Xie Tingrui on the shoulder solemnly and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Xie Tingrui laughed heartily and said, "Why are you being so polite with me?"

The two then continued to work on the next steps.

Meanwhile, the Wilson family, who had been eyeing them covetously, were not idle either. They recruited many high-tech talents to continue studying the design that had been painstakingly stolen.

Meanwhile, Wilson John also sent men to keep an eye on Elsa's every move; he didn't want to lose both his wife and his army.

To be fair, Elsa's charming face does have some use; quite a few business partners have proposed marriage alliances with him, which he has neither accepted nor rejected.

They were just waiting to see if Elsa could win over Li Zhanting.

Elsa knew that Wilson still didn't trust her, so she went around in circles on her way to find Tom before she finally shook off his tail.

Tom was invited by Wilson John to treat Jack's illness.

Because a mistake almost delayed Jack's treatment, Wilson John was so angry that he wanted to shoot him on the spot.

It was Elsa who rushed over and pleaded for Tom's life that saved him.

From that time on, Tom was willing to help her unconditionally.

Elsa is very sensitive to pain; she fainted from the pain the first time she donated bone marrow to Jack.

Two years later, Jack relapsed, and she was forced to donate again, at which point she was terrified.

Tom suggested that she could donate bone marrow without a bone marrow biopsy, which saved her from a terrible ordeal.

Now, in order to be with Li Zhanting forever, she has once again turned to Tom for help.

Tom himself is a medical fanatic who enjoys conducting all sorts of experiments to complete his research, and hypnosis is one of them.

As soon as Elsa saw Tom, she couldn't wait to ask, "Tom, is the method you told me about before permanent?"

Tom stated with certainty, "Regular hypnosis can fail at any time, but if you surgically alter the brain's memory neurons before hypnosis, it's almost permanent."

Unless someone uses special methods to stimulate the hypnotized person, the hypnosis will never fail.

Of course, he didn't say this to Elsa, because he was confident that his hypnosis was flawless.

After hearing this, Elsa felt much more excited. "That's great, Tom! I knew you were a genius!"

"However, I need to remind you of one thing: this kind of surgery is risky. I can't guarantee that the person won't have any other aftereffects after the surgery. In severe cases, paralysis is also possible. But I can make sure that his brain memory is the kind you want."

paralysis?

That's actually possible!

Elsa lowered her head and thought for a while, then gritted her teeth and decided, "It's okay. As long as he's alive and loves me, I don't care if he's paralyzed."

Tom didn't care at all. "Then there's no problem. I'll just wait for you to bring the person to me for surgery."

Tom had seen too many women who went crazy for love. In his previous experiments, various resentful women had come to him for this kind of hypnosis, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with what Elsa was doing.

When she left Tom's hospital, she realized a big problem: how could she get Li Zhanting to obediently agree to have the surgery?

Should we hire someone to kidnap him?

She had seen Li Zhanting's skills before; the men Wilson John had given him were no match for him.

Just then, a loud bang startled Elsa and interrupted her train of thought.

She frowned and looked across the street at the source of the sound; it seemed to be a collision between two cars.

Car accident...

Yup!

She could easily arrange a car accident to force Li Zhanting to undergo surgery, then swap Tom in, and all the problems would be solved.

Although the methods were a bit cruel, it's still better than living in hell for the rest of your life.

At this time, Shen Yanran was naturally unaware that, far across the ocean in the United States, there was a woman who was so crazy about Li Zhanting that she was willing to hurt him in order to get him.

But somehow, as Shen Yanran was preparing Xiao Jinghao's birthday cake, she suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Aunt Wang, who was helping her, sensed that something was wrong and quickly asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong?"

Shen Yanran clutched her chest, waited a while, and when she felt nothing again, she shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Aunt Wang said with some concern, "Madam, if you feel unwell, you must tell me. Before he left, the master specifically told me to take good care of you."

Shen Yanran gave her a reassuring smile and said, "I know, Aunt Wang, I'm really fine. Besides, I think we've almost finished preparing all the ingredients for the cake. You've been busy with me all day, so go and rest. I'll leave as soon as the cake is done."

"Alright then, come back early after you've finished celebrating your friend's birthday, otherwise I'm afraid your husband will worry about you," Aunt Wang said before leaving.

Shen Yanran understood that Aunt Wang was only saying so much because she wanted what was best for her, so she smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll be back soon."

About an hour later, Shen Yanran finished making the birthday cake and wrapped it together with the birthday gifts she had prepared in a very exquisite way.

At six o'clock in the evening, Shen Yanran's phone rang. It was Xiao Jinghao calling. Thinking that he was getting impatient, she answered the phone while putting on her coat and said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'll come out to find you right away."

Xiao Jinghao said gently, "I don't need to. Take your time. I called to let you know I'm already downstairs at your place."

Shen Yanran was taken aback. "Huh? Didn't we agree that I would come to find you? Why did you drive here by yourself?"

Xiao Jinghao stood by the car, gazing at Shen Yanran's residence, and said affectionately, "Because I want to see you as soon as possible."

Shen Yanran took his words as a joke, "Haha, really? Then I'll go downstairs now."

As soon as Shen Yanran stepped out of the apartment building, she spotted the tall, handsome Xiao Jinghao.

She waved to him happily, "Brother Xiao, I'm here."

Looking at Shen Yanran, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Xiao Jinghao's deep gaze gradually softened, and he strode quickly toward her with his long legs.
