The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Inside the Dilong Bay Villa in the south of the city.

Shen Yanran was still agonizing over what to wear to the Li family's old mansion, unaware that she was about to face a trap.

"What do you think of this outfit? Is it too formal?" Shen Yanran changed into a new dress and looked at herself in the mirror again and again.

"No, you look good in anything." Li Zhanting sat on the sofa, watching Shen Yanran change clothes in front of him with great interest.

Shen Yanran suddenly realized that having too many clothes wasn't a good thing. She was already overwhelmed by the choices and had no idea what she should wear to meet Li Zhanting's family.

She wanted Li Zhanting to give her some advice, but all the man could say was that it looked good, and he didn't offer any other suggestions. She was speechless.

Shen Yanran had been changing clothes for almost half an hour. Although she hadn't set a specific time to meet his family, it wouldn't be good to make the elders wait too late. So, she turned to Li Zhanting anxiously and said seriously, "Can't you be more serious? I'm going to meet your grandparents and parents. First impressions are very important."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhanting finally stood up from the sofa, and with his long legs, he walked over to Shen Yanran in a few steps.

He stretched out his arms and gently encircled Shen Yanran's soft and slender body. He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her delicate right ear, "Although it's said that an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her in-laws, you're so beautiful, what's there to worry about, hmm?"

Although she was happy to receive such praise from Li Zhanting, Shen Yanran felt nervous from the inside out when she thought about the person she was about to face. "Never mind, I'll choose myself."

Shen Yanran ruthlessly pushed Li Zhanting, who had made no "contribution," aside and then re-examined the enormous wardrobe.

Finally, amidst a dazzling array of luxury brands, I found a dark beige dress with a simple and elegant design that also exudes youthful vitality.

Chanel's classic designs will never go out of style, no matter when.

Under Li Zhanting's burning gaze, Shen Yanran changed into the carefully selected dress.

Although she felt a little shy under his gaze, she gradually got used to it. After all, they were already husband and wife, and such awkwardness was unavoidable, so she might as well accept it calmly.

Although Li Zhanting had an urge to take off the dress she had just changed into, he restrained himself, walked to her side, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, very beautiful."

Shen Yanran sighed softly, finally resolving a major issue.

She looked up at the man with a distinguished air who had walked up to her in the mirror, then suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked suspiciously, "Is it because in your eyes that I look the same no matter what I wear that you always say I look good?"

Li Zhanting raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing that this question was not so easy to answer.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Yanran felt a strange sense of pleasure in winning against him, so she immediately pressed her advantage and said, "Looks like I hit the nail on the head, you big straight man Li."

They actually called him a straight man?

Li Zhanting gently lifted Shen Yanran's fair and smooth chin with his fingers, but a dangerous light shone in his deep black eyes as he said meaningfully, "You know best whether I'm straight or not, anyway, you've touched me so many times."

I bought it!

Shen Yanran suddenly realized that she was wrong, really wrong!

How could she forget that this man's skin was thicker than a city wall? Only he would have the nerve to say such shameful things!

Shen Yanran never expected that she would end up blushing so badly. What a blunder!

She quickly pulled her already flushed face away from Li Zhanting's burning palm, her eyes flickering as she changed the subject, "It's getting late, you should hurry up and get ready, tie your tie, and we'll be leaving."

Li Zhanting didn't expect Shen Yanran to dodge so easily. With a gentle reach, he pulled the petite woman, who was an arm's length away from him, into his arms and said ambiguously, "Wife, help me tie it."

Shen Yanran couldn't help but twitch her lips when she thought about how "disastrous" it was when she first tried to tie his tie. "Forget it, my skill level is about the same as a primary school student tying a red scarf. You should do it yourself."

Li Zhanting immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "No, I just like it when you tie my red scarf."

Normally, Shen Yanran would have agreed without a second thought, since he would be the one who would be embarrassed, and she wouldn't even see it.

But now they were going to the Li family's old house, and countless eyes were watching them. She wasn't about to invite trouble and walk right into the line of fire, only to be told by her family that she wasn't virtuous and didn't know how to take care of people.

Li Zhanting, however, acted as if he wouldn't leave until I tied his tie, and started to act spoiled, saying, "Then I'll sit here and wait for you. We'll leave when you tie my tie."

Shen Yanran was both amused and exasperated. "President Li, could you be any more childish?"

Li Zhanting raised his eyebrows high. "Are you going to tie my tie or not?"

Shen Yanran glanced at the time and realized that too much time had been wasted. She couldn't afford to waste any more time, so she gritted her teeth, curled the corners of her lips, and said with a helpless smile, "You said it yourself, so don't regret it."

Shen Yanran took out a dark beige tie with subtle patterns from Li Zhanting's many high-end ties in the closet, one that matched her clothes.

Then, she draped it over Li Zhanting's neck, who had been waiting for a long time, and, recalling his method, tied the tie in front of her chest little by little.

Although it wasn't as refined as the one he had done himself, it was still much better than the first time she did it, which looked like something a primary school student would do.

She does have talent after all...

Looking at his neatly tied tie in the mirror, Li Zhanting happily kissed Shen Yanran on the forehead and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. I hope my wife can continue to do well in the future."

"Yes, sir. My dear CEO, let's go quickly, don't keep your family waiting." Shen Yanran blushed slightly, then picked up her bag from the table and pulled Li Zhanting out of the bedroom.

Xu Fan, as Li Zhanting's most loyal fan... no, his secretary, had been waiting at the door for quite some time.

Watching the president and his wife walk out hand in hand, especially their sparkling wedding rings and the way they looked at each other, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction at witnessing their happiness.

Li Zhanting didn't know what Xu Fan was thinking, but he noticed that Xu Fan's gaze seemed to be fixed on Shen Yanran. His cold gaze carried a hint of displeasure as he blocked Xu Fan's view. "Where are you looking?"

Xu Fan then realized that he had been staring too intently, and quickly looked away, explaining, "I wasn't looking anywhere. I was just momentarily blinded by your and your wife's rings, so I was wondering if I should buy one for my girlfriend too."

Thinking about how his girlfriend had followed him without complaint for so many years, Xu Fan felt it was time to give her a complete family as a way of repaying her.

"Is Secretary Xu planning to propose to his girlfriend?" Shen Yanran suddenly joined in the conversation with great interest.

Xu Fan nodded, "Yes, seeing how happy the president and his wife are, I also want to get married."

Shen Yanran smiled sweetly, but her grip on Li Zhanting's hand tightened slightly. After thinking for a moment, she asked with a hint of hesitation, "Then, would you mind if I designed a wedding ring for you?"

Designed by Shen Yanran herself?

Xu Fan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected her to come up with such an idea.

He glanced at his boss instinctively, unsure whether he should agree.

Li Zhanting knew that Shen Yanran had never given up on her design dream over the years and had been quietly learning various knowledge in order to apply it in the future.

Perhaps because of the unfounded accusations she has carried for so many years, she has never had the opportunity to showcase her talents, which is why she is so eager to design a wedding ring for Xu Fan.

But things are different now. She has him by her side, and no one can say a bad word about her anymore, nor can anyone stop her from realizing her dreams.

Noticing Xu Fan's questioning gaze, Li Zhanting said with a cold expression, "What, Secretary Xu, you're not willing?"

Xu Fan dared not utter a word of refusal, but he was afraid that the president himself would not want his wife's help, which was why he waited for him to speak. "Of course not, if the president's wife is willing to help, then it would be a great honor. Thank you, president, thank you, madam."

Seeing Xu Fan nod in agreement, Shen Yanran felt more grateful than anything else. "No, I should be thanking you for trusting me. I will definitely design a unique wedding ring for you, and I guarantee that your girlfriend will be eager to marry you the moment she sees it."

Although Shen Yanran said this, it was because she believed in the relationship between Xu Fan and his girlfriend that she was so confident.

It had been a long time since she had personally designed a decent piece of jewelry, and she couldn't help but feel excited and anticipation.

But not long after, on her way to the Li family's old house, she began to feel extremely nervous, and her palms started to sweat.

Seeing Shen Yanran nervously clenching her hands, Li Zhanting couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Then he reached out his right hand and gently pulled Shen Yanran's slightly stiff body into his arms, whispering to comfort her, "You don't need to be so nervous. Grandpa and Grandma are very kind old people. They love our generation the most. You are my wife, so naturally they will love you too."

Shen Yanran looked up and met Li Zhanting's calm and deep gaze. As if encouraged, she was no longer as nervous as before.

Just a few seconds later, as if she had thought of something, she quickly grabbed Li Zhanting's warm, large hand and asked, "Then what kind of people are your parents? Will they like me?"
