The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Back home, Shen Yanran had been quietly waiting for Li Zhanting's return.

Although the matter concerning Shen Changtian's live stream had been mostly resolved, and Li Zhanting didn't need to rush back, she felt she could only truly feel at ease if she could see him in person.

But for some reason, when she went to sleep that night, her heart suddenly ached a few times, and she even felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe.

She had never felt this way before, as if she were about to lose something important, which made her feel somewhat lost and dejected.

Shen Yanran couldn't sleep, so she picked up her phone, checked the time, and found that it was already past midnight.

She roughly calculated that Li Zhanting should still be on the plane at this time, and if there are no delays tomorrow, he will land at 9:45.

Shen Yanran had already arranged with Xu Fan to personally pick him up at the airport.

Thinking that she had to get up early tomorrow, she lay back down on the bed.

I silently counted the lambs in my mind to help myself fall asleep. In the end, I don't know how many I counted, but I really fell asleep.

She didn't sleep well that night and had a very strange dream.

In her dream, she came to a completely unfamiliar place and was very scared. She couldn't find any way home and didn't have a cell phone.

Left with no other choice, she could only shout Li Zhanting's name loudly.

Soon, Li Zhanting appeared. She ran happily to his side, wanting him to take her home. But unexpectedly, the man who would usually smile gently when he saw her looked at her coldly, as if he were a complete stranger.

Shen Yanran was terrified and kept asking him why he wouldn't talk to her and why he wouldn't pay attention to her.

But Li Zhanting suddenly turned and left.

Shen Yanran was terrified and ran after him, but Li Zhanting suddenly disappeared again.

She was completely at a loss, and then continued to call out Li Zhanting's name.

"Yanran, I'm here." Li Zhanting's deep and charming voice suddenly rang out.

Shen Yanran looked around and looked again, and finally saw Li Zhanting's back in the distance. She hurriedly ran over and was about to reach out to grab him when she was blocked by another woman.

Shen Yanran couldn't see her face clearly, but she heard her say smugly, "Shen Yanran, stay away from my husband!"

Her husband?

How could this be? Li Zhanting is clearly Shen Yanran's husband. What nonsense is this woman spouting? "Who are you, and why are you trying to steal my husband?"

The woman laughed even louder, "Shen Yanran, take a good look back and see who your husband is."

Shen Yanran turned around in horror and saw Shen Changtian walking over with Gao Yufeng. He smiled brightly and said, "Yanran, from now on you are Gao Yufeng's wife. I hope you two will be happy."

Gao Yufeng?

When did she marry Gao Yufeng? That's impossible!

Shen Yanran shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I am not his wife, I am Li Zhanting's wife. You are lying, I will not believe you."

Shen Changtian retorted unhappily, "Yanran, don't be silly. Who is Li Zhanting? How could he possibly marry you? Listen to me and come with us."

Shen Yanran covered her head with both hands and began to loudly retort, "I won't leave, I won't leave! You're all liars, liars! I'm Li Zhanting's wife, he's my husband!"

After saying that, Shen Yanran opened her eyes and saw the familiar room. Only then did she realize that she had just been dreaming.

But she was still startled and broke out in a cold sweat; she even felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

Shen Yanran carefully stroked her belly, rubbed it, and after a long while, her tense and frightened heart finally calmed down.

She had to admit that the dream she had really scared her.

But thankfully, it was all just a dream, not real.

While comforting herself, Shen Yanran also comforted her two unborn babies, "Babies, we'll be able to see Daddy soon, are you happy?"

After breakfast, Shen Yanran sat quietly in the living room waiting for Xu Fan to come and pick her up.

Rou Rou then came over and meowed to keep her company.

As Shen Yanran gently stroked the fleshy part, she kept glancing at the time on the wall.

I had to check it every few minutes; it always felt like time was passing very slowly.

When Aunt Wang, who was cleaning the kitchen, saw Shen Yanran like this, she smiled and asked, "Madam, is the master coming back today?"

Shen Yanran didn't remember mentioning this to Aunt Wang, so she looked at her in surprise and asked, "Aunt Wang, how did you know?"

Aunt Wang explained gently, "In the past, after you finished breakfast, you would watch TV in the living room for a while or go back to your room to rest. But today you didn't do anything and kept checking the time on the wall. I guessed you were probably calculating when your husband would come back."

Having her thoughts guessed, Shen Yanran blushed shyly. "Was I that obvious?"

Aunt Wang, speaking with the air of someone who's been through it all, said, "There's an old saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder. You and your husband have been apart for almost ten days, you must miss each other terribly. I felt the same way when I was young."

Shen Yanran was too shy to speak, but she touched the fleshy part with increasing force, making it a little uncomfortable.

However, it liked Shen Yanran, so apart from a small meow of protest, it did not make any move to harm her.

Shen Yanran then realized that she had been petting the little chubby baby so much that its fur was falling out. She quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, little chubby baby, did I hurt you? After Mommy goes to pick up Daddy, I'll give you a delicious can of fish, okay?"

Finally, the time she had agreed upon with Xu Fan arrived. She put the meat on the sofa and was about to get up when her phone on the coffee table rang.

After answering the call, Shen Yanran said, "Hello, Secretary Xu, please wait a moment. I'll be downstairs as soon as I put on my shoes."

Xu Fan said apologetically on the phone, "I'm sorry, Madam, I'm not here to pick you up for the airport."

Shen Yanran didn't pay much attention, assuming he had other work to do and didn't have time to take her. "What's wrong? Is something wrong and you can't go? It's okay, I can take a taxi myself later."

Xu Fan explained in a low voice, "No, Madam, it's... the president hasn't come back."

Shen Yanran asked in surprise, "Why didn't you come back?"

Xu Fan gave a perfectly normal reason: "Because the weather in the United States is bad, a tornado has hit, and many flights have been canceled, so it may be a few more days before I can come back."

Shen Yanran said with a disappointed look, "I see..."

Xu Fan continued calmly, "Yes, Madam. If there's nothing else, I'll go and attend to my business."

Shen Yanran nodded. "Okay, go ahead and get busy. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Madam." Xu Fan politely hung up the phone.

Seeing that Xu Fan had hung up the phone, Li Yanchen immediately asked anxiously, "So, Yanran, you didn't suspect anything, did you?"

Xu Fan shook his head firmly, "No, fortunately the weather in the United States has indeed been bad these past two days, so even if Madam checked the weather forecast, she wouldn't doubt it."

"That's good. We have to keep the news of Zhan Ting being shot and in a car accident a secret from her, otherwise her body won't be able to handle it." Li Yanchen and Li Zhongnan shared the same concern.

Before leaving, Li Zhanting specifically instructed Xu Fan to protect Shen Yanran in every way, so he dared not make any mistakes. "I understand, President Li. I will block all possible sources of information as soon as possible."

But they underestimated a woman's intuition.

After talking with Xu Fan, Shen Yanran, just as he had guessed, checked the weather in New York online and found that a tornado had indeed passed through and many airlines had suspended flights.

Based on Shen Yanran's understanding of Li Zhanting, even if the situation was special and he really couldn't fly back, he would personally call her to explain. Besides, shouldn't he have known at the time that the plane couldn't take off?

Why did Xu Fan only tell her this morning when she was preparing to pick up Li Zhanting?

Thinking about the dream she had last night, Shen Yanran felt increasingly uneasy.

She immediately called Li Zhanting, the call went through, but no one answered.

Shen Yanran waited a while and called again, but still no one answered. She comforted herself, saying that Li Zhanting was probably busy with work and didn't hear the phone ring.

So she sent him another message on WeChat: "Call me back as soon as you see this message."

Shen Yanran had done everything she could, but she still felt a little uneasy waiting like this.

For some reason, she had a feeling that something had happened to Li Zhanting, but she didn't want anything to happen to him. She just hoped that she was overthinking it.

Shen Yanran, as if possessed, started searching on her phone again for news from the United States, looking for any reports of accidents involving Chinese citizens.

I've seen a lot of news about unexpected events in the US.

She hadn't seen any news about Li Zhanting, so she thought she'd give up and stop looking, not wanting to scare herself. But then a news item popped up on the website she was looking at: a Chinese businessman had been in a car accident, and a fierce gunfight had broken out at the hospital where he was being treated, causing shock and injury to many innocent citizens.

Li Zhongnan probably didn't expect this news. He could spend money to suppress the American media from reporting on Li Zhanting's car accident and gunfight, but he couldn't control the American people who love freedom and sharing. When they encountered such a shocking event in the hospital, they exposed it on their Facebook page without thinking.

Although the news report did not name the injured Chinese businessman, Shen Yanran felt that it was very likely Li Zhanting.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt. She wanted to call Xu Fan to ask him for clarification, but she immediately hung up as soon as she dialed the number.

Shen Yanran thought that Xu Fan had told her the truth when he called her before, and she knew he wouldn't tell her if she called him again now.

So she changed the number to Wenqian's and said, "Wenqian, do you know anyone in the US right now? I'd like to ask him to help me find out something."
