The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Wenqian was shocked, "You're going to America?"

Shen Yanran couldn't bear the torment of waiting any longer. "Well, no matter if it's true or not, I want to check it out for myself. It would be best if Li Zhanting was alright, but if something really happened to him, I want to stay by his side and protect him."

Wenqian asked with great concern, "But I heard that many flights to New York were grounded because of the tornado. How are you going to get there?"

Shen Yanran said firmly, "It's okay. I checked beforehand. There are flights from China to Las Vegas, USA. Once I get there, I'll take other transportation to get there. Although it's a bit more troublesome, it's better than having to wait in China."

Wen Qian wanted to persuade her again not to act impulsively, "Yanran, I suggest you wait a little longer. Maybe there really is some misunderstanding. Otherwise, once you're on the plane, if Li Zhanting can't contact you, he'll get worried too."

"Wenqian, I can't wait. If I could, I would fly there from home right now," Shen Yanran said dejectedly, rubbing her increasingly aching head.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Wenqian decided not to try to persuade her anymore and went with her so that they could look after each other on the way. "Okay, since you've already decided, I won't try to persuade you anymore. But your current physical condition is special, and I'm worried about you going alone. Wait for me to ask my boss for leave and go with you."

"No need, Wenqian, I can manage myself..."

Wen Qian said seriously, "Yanran, what time is it and you're still trying to be tough with me? We've been best friends for so many years, how could I just watch you go to such a faraway place as America alone? Wait for me."

Just as Wen Qian hung up the phone, Xiao Jinghao called back, his voice urgent, "Yanran, are you alright? I tried calling you but couldn't get through."

"I'm fine, Jinghao. I was just on the phone with Wenqian. How are things going on your end? Have you found anything?"

“Yanran…” Xiao Jinghao remained silent for two seconds before slowly speaking, his voice low and deep, “I’ve found out. Li Zhanting has indeed run into trouble, but we have no way of knowing his current situation. The Li family has completely blocked the news.”

Shen Yanran was somewhat dazed, and her voice was a little hoarse as she said, "Thank you, Brother Jinghao, I understand. Can you help me contact a plane? I want to leave now."

Xiao Jinghao readily agreed to Shen Yanran's request, saying, "The airline's plane might not make it in time. I have a private jet that can take you there. I'll go with you."

Shen Yanran didn't want to involve Li Zhanting in his affairs. "Are you going too?"

"Of course, who told me to be your brother?" If he could stand by her side openly as her brother and share her joys and sorrows, he wouldn't mind making good use of that identity.

Moreover, he also wanted to go to New York in person to confirm whether Li Zhanting was alive or dead.

If he dies, then he can keep Shen Yanran by his side forever, turning her from a brother into a lover.

But if he's not dead, then he can find a way to make him die!

Shen Yanran politely declined, saying, "Jinghao, I know you're worried about me, but going to America will take a long time and will interfere with your work. I think we should just forget about it."

Xiao Jinghao said nonchalantly, "It's alright. I'll delegate the company matters to my subordinates. Otherwise, how could I feel at ease sending you to America alone?"

Shen Yanran quickly explained, "No, Brother Jinghao, I'm not alone. Wenqian called me and said she'd come with me."

Xiao Jinghao didn't want a third person to appear between the two of them. "As for Wenqian, I think it's better not to let her go with us yet. There might not be enough time. I've already driven downstairs to my house. We'll go to the airport now. We can get there within an hour and take off. Otherwise, the flight might not be able to take off because of the weather."

Shen Yanran was indeed quite anxious, and quickly got up and ran to the door, "What, you're already here? Okay, I'll go downstairs to find you now."

As she was taking the elevator downstairs, Shen Yanran immediately called Wen Qian again.

Wen Qian had already taken leave and was about to leave the company when she suddenly saw that Shen Yanran was calling. Thinking that she was getting impatient, she said, "Yanran, don't worry, I'm on my way to you right now."

Shen Yanran explained anxiously, "Wenqian, you don't need to come. Jinghao has already come to pick me up. We're going to the airport to catch his private jet. We only have an hour, so we can't wait for you."

Wenqian calculated the time and realized she wouldn't make it in time, so she didn't insist. "Oh? Okay then, but you must be extra careful on your journey. Take the blessing I gave you with you, and remember to call or text me to let me know you've arrived safely in America!"

Shen Yanran reassured Wen Qian, "Yes, I understand. Don't worry, with Jinghao by my side, everything will be fine."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanran took the elevator to the first floor. As soon as she stepped out of the building, she saw Xiao Jinghao's car parked at the entrance.

She hurriedly ran over.

Xiao Jinghao immediately opened the car door and brought her inside.

But perhaps because she ran too fast, and because she was also holding back her anger, her stomach suddenly started to hurt.

While driving, Xiao Jinghao would occasionally glance at Shen Yanran to observe her condition.

Noticing that she looked unwell and was clutching her stomach, he immediately asked with concern, "Yanran, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, Jinghao, just focus on driving and don't worry about me," Shen Yanran said through gritted teeth.

Xiao Jinghao's face darkened. "That won't do. You can't neglect yourself just because you're worried about Li Zhanting. I'd better take you to the hospital to get checked out."

Shen Yanran strongly refused, saying, "No, I don't want to go to the hospital, Brother Jinghao, I'm really fine. Please take me to the airport quickly, or we'll be late."

Without realizing it, Xiao Jinghao slowed down the car. For him, no matter what happened, Shen Yanran would always be his first priority. "Yanran, you..."

Shen Yanran raised her beautiful and delicate face, looking at Xiao Jinghao with a pitiful expression, and said, "Brother Jinghao, please."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Jinghao couldn't bear to say no anymore. "Okay, let's not go to the hospital, let's go to the airport."

When he was still worried about Shen Yanran's health, he immediately contacted the airline and asked them to prepare a doctor to be waiting there.

He won't feel at ease until at least a doctor has examined him and said he's really fine.

Xiao Jinghao stepped on the gas and arrived at the airport in about forty minutes.

Xiao Jinghao's men were already waiting at the entrance of the VIP passage. Upon seeing the two of them appear, they immediately said obsequiously, "Mr. Xiao, everything is ready as you instructed. We can take off for New York at any time. There is also a doctor on the plane, ready to serve you at any time."

Xiao Jinghao immediately took Shen Yanran's hand and went inside. "Yanran, come on, let's go over quickly and have the doctor check you out."

"I'm really fine, Jinghao, there's no need for a checkup." Shen Yanran refused without even thinking, not knowing how long the checkup would take.

Xiao Jinghao said domineeringly, "No, it must be checked, otherwise I will not let the plane take off."

Shen Yanran remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The doctor on the plane was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was an emergency doctor assigned by the Civil Aviation Administration to the airport to deal with sudden illnesses of passengers.

But he was suddenly transferred to a private jet, which frightened him, fearing that he wouldn't be able to handle what was to come.

Upon seeing the doctor, Xiao Jinghao calmly said to him, "Could you check her health to see if she's fit to fly?"

“Okay,” the doctor replied without hesitation.

You have to understand that people who own private jets are all either very rich or very powerful. How could a mere airport doctor like him dare to have any questions?

The doctor briefly examined Shen Yanran's physical condition and said, "Aside from a slightly faster heart rate and higher blood pressure, there's nothing seriously wrong."

The only thing to be careful about is that she's pregnant, and with long flights, she needs to get plenty of rest and pay attention to her diet.

Shen Yanran breathed a sigh of relief. "So, that means I can take a plane?"

She was really afraid that she would fail the test and be sent home by Xiao Jinghao.

The doctor nodded. "Yes, flying is fine."

Xiao Jinghao actually knew that Shen Yanran was pregnant a long time ago, but he just didn't admit it. He couldn't quite accept that the woman he loved most was carrying another man's child.

But if he could have the chance to be with Shen Yanran during this trip to America, he wouldn't mind. After all, half of the child's blood was Shen Yanran's, and he could extend his love to her because of her.

He waved for the doctor to leave, then looked at the flight attendant who had been waiting for instructions and said, "Tell the captain we can take off now."

The flight attendant immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Xiao."

Five minutes later, the plane officially took off.

As Shen Yanran watched the vehicles and figures on the ground gradually shrink, her desire to see Li Zhanting grew even stronger.

After Shen Yanran left, Wen Qian immediately went to Song Yue's company to find him.

Song Yue and she had been giving each other the cold shoulder for several days. When he suddenly saw the woman he had been thinking about day and night, he still had a bit of arrogance in his eyes, "You finally decided to come see me?"

Wen Qian didn't want to waste time with him and went straight to the point, "I don't have time to banter with you. I'm asking you, did you know that Li Zhanting is in trouble?"

"Li Zhanting is in trouble! When did it happen?" Song Yue had been busy with her own company and hadn't been in contact with Li Zhanting much. She never expected to hear such shocking news from Wen Qian.

Wen Qian immediately frowned, looking at him with suspicion, "You don't know? How could you not know? Isn't Li Zhanting your good brother?"
