The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Faced with such a stark contrast, Shen Yanran was genuinely unhappy.

Previously, she could treat Li Zhanting as an amnesiac patient, and she could overlook whatever he said or did.

But now, he's being gentle with other women in front of her time and time again, and she just can't stand it anymore.

After getting permission, Elsa came in carrying a hot breakfast. "Zhan, are you hungry? I specially had someone find the best breakfast in all of New York. Would you like to try it?"

Li Zhanting was clearly resisting, but his mind wouldn't allow him to refuse. "Okay, bring it over."

Elsa noticed that Shen Yanran's complexion was not good, and deliberately said, "I'm sorry, Madam Li, I forgot about you and only brought enough for two people. You see, Zhan and I are both patients and need nutritional supplements. We can't skip breakfast. If you are hungry, you can go to the cafeteria on the first floor."

Shen Yanran wouldn't eat the breakfast Elsa brought, even if she were really hungry, let alone not being hungry right now.

That would only make her feel disgusted.

She watched with a deep gaze as Li Zhanting ate the breakfast Elsa had brought him, and then left the ward without saying another word.

When Xie Tingrui brought breakfast over, Elsa and Li Zhanting had already finished eating and were now chatting and laughing while eating fruit.

Xie Tingrui frowned, looked around, and asked, "Old Li, where's your wife?"

For some reason, Li Zhanting seemed less concerned about Shen Yanran. "I don't know."

do not know?

The man who once wanted to be with his wife 24/7 actually told him he didn't know!

Xie Tingrui asked in surprise, "Old Li, you're not kidding me, are you? Your wife is missing, aren't you worried?"

Li Zhanting looked at him strangely in return, "She's an adult, not a child, what do I have to be nervous about?"

Elsa didn't want her hard-won closeness with Li Zhanting to be ruined by unrelated people. "Yeah, Rui, she's a grown woman, she's not going to get lost, don't make such a fuss."

Xie Tingrui clearly remembered that Li Zhanting hadn't been this close to Elsa yesterday, so why was he acting like a completely different person today? Anyone who didn't know better would think that the two of them were the real couple.

His expression turned serious: "Old Li, I think I need to have a serious talk with you."

Li Zhanting asked in a calm voice, "What do you want to talk about?"

Xie Tingrui looked at Elsa and said, "Elsa, there are some company matters that you might need to cover for a while."

Elsa smiled gently and said, "Okay, you two chat, I'll be going now."

After Elsa left, Xie Tingrui pulled up a chair and sat next to Li Zhanting, asking solemnly, "Old Li, what's going on with you? When did your relationship with Elsa become so good?"

Li Zhanting didn't see anything wrong with it. "Weren't we good friends back in school?"

“You said it yourself, it was in the past. Elsa was out of contact with us for five whole years. She’s also Wilson John’s daughter. Aren’t you worried that she has ulterior motives?” Back then, it was Li Zhanting who told him these things.

Li Zhanting thought for a moment, his impression of Elsa was still from college, and his memories after that were very vague. "Elsa is a very simple girl, she wouldn't do that."

Xie Tingrui said helplessly, "Have you ever thought that being so good to Elsa would make your wife very unhappy? Now that she's gone, she must have been driven away by you."

Did he run away in anger?

"So what?" Li Zhanting's brows furrowed involuntarily, as if a voice kept telling him to divorce Shen Yanran. "Anyway, I have no memory of her now. Rather than making each other unhappy, we might as well get a divorce."

"Are you crazy?!" Xie Tingrui jumped up from his chair in shock. "It's one thing for you to say something like that to me, but if my sister-in-law heard it, she would be heartbroken!"

He was more than just heartbroken; he was worried that it would affect the health of the baby in Shen Yanran's belly.

Oh right, what about the child? How could he forget something so important?

Xie Tingrui warned him in a heavy tone, "Old Li, don't forget, your wife is carrying your child. If you bring up divorce because of amnesia, she won't be able to handle the shock, and something might happen to her. You'll have nowhere to cry!"

The child's situation... is indeed a problem.

His family used to urge him to get married, hoping he would have a child as soon as possible so that he could maintain his position as the head of the Li family.

Regardless of what happens between him and Shen Yanran in the future, at least the child is innocent. Besides, his grandparents have been hoping for him to have a child for a long time, and he doesn't want to disappoint them. "Okay, I'll consider it."

Xie Tingrui finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least Li Zhanting wasn't really so cold-blooded as to abandon his own child.

It's tough on Shen Yanran; she doesn't know when Li Zhanting will regain his memories.

Looking at his leg, which was still in a cast, Li Zhanting asked in a cold voice, "By the way, how's the investigation going regarding my car accident?"

"All I've found out so far is that it was done by a local gang, who wanted to kidnap you for ransom." There are quite a few cases of Chinese people being kidnapped in the United States. They'll do anything for money, but I never expected that they would target Li Zhanting.

It's simply courting death.

Xie Tingrui continued his analysis: "But no one was left alive at the scene, so it's uncertain whether there were other people involved. Moreover, we are in the United States, so it's inconvenient to investigate many things. However, I think the biggest suspect is Wilson John. He has always coveted the new weapons we are developing and wanted to obtain all the design drawings to sell to arms dealers around the world for huge profits."

If Wilson's men really stole the blueprints, it wouldn't just be a matter of money; it could very well trigger World War III, a consequence no one could afford.

China has always been a pacifist country and has advocated for world peace on the international stage for many years. However, there are always some warmongers who want to solve all problems by force and even dominate the world.

Li Zhanting's design of this new weapon was initiated under instructions from above, just in case.

Fortunately, the memories Li Zhanting lost were only related to his personal feelings; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Although saying such things now is somewhat cruel to Shen Yanran, it is a stroke of good fortune amidst misfortune for the country and even the world.

No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the ward door.

Elsa's beautiful figure appeared before them once again. "Zhan, have you finished talking with Rui? I see the weather outside is nice. I'd like to take her out to bask in the sun and get some fresh air, is that alright?"

Elsa arrived, and Xie Tingrui naturally wouldn't continue the previous topic. However, he still wanted to remind his good brother of some things again, "Old Li, I hope you can follow your heart in some things and not let yourself regret it. Uncle Li still needs my help. I'll go there first and come to see you again tonight."

Actually, he wasn't just saying this to Li Zhanting; he also wanted Elsa to understand that some things shouldn't be forced, otherwise it would be too late to regret it.

"Ray, are you leaving already?" Elsa asked, feigning concern.

Xie Tingrui nodded slightly. "Yes, I have some things to take care of, so I'll be going now."

"Okay, bye-bye." Elsa said goodbye gently to Xie Tingrui as if she hadn't heard what he had just said.

In Li Zhanting's ward, there is a high-tech wheelchair specially designed for patients with mobility issues. People can move around easily by simply sitting in it and moving their fingers.

Xie Tingrui had previously mentioned to him that Elsa had taken a bullet for him in the operating room, making her his savior, so he didn't refuse her invitation.

Although Elsa really wanted to help Li Zhanting into the wheelchair so that they could have physical contact, and maybe her sexy figure could seduce him, and then things would naturally fall into place.

Upon hearing Xie Tingrui's words before leaving, Li Zhanting refused her help, saying, "No need, I can do it myself."

Elsa figured there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so she didn't press the matter further. "Let's go then."

As it is one of the best hospitals in New York, the entire hospital environment is very nice, with a small garden specifically for patients to relax in, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers; everything looks so beautiful.

As Elsa walked alongside Li Zhanting, she suddenly rushed in front of him and asked with a look of deep emotion, "Zhan, do you still remember why you came back to China?"

Li Zhanting thought for a moment and couldn't recall anything. "I don't remember. What's wrong?"

Elsa blushed and said, "Actually... actually you came back to your country to divorce your wife and marry me. And now that you have no memory of her at all, you don't have any psychological burden anymore, so I hope you can get a divorce from your wife as soon as possible."

He's going to marry Elsa?

As Li Zhanting pondered these questions, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind, saying, "The woman you truly love is Elsa. You must divorce Shen Yanran, divorce... divorce..."

Li Zhanting hated the voice, as if someone was controlling him.

He shook his head, his face pale, trying to shake off the voice, but he couldn't.

Elsa thought that with the hypnosis on him, Li Zhanting would immediately agree to her request, but to her surprise, he would rather clutch his head in pain than say a word about wanting to marry her.

What exactly is going on?

Elsa was so eager for Li Zhanting to give her a definite answer that she completely disregarded his pain and continued, "Zhan, tell me quickly, you will divorce Shen Yanran and marry me, right?"

Li Zhanting had a splitting headache and had no intention of answering Elsa's questions about marriage or divorce. So he growled in a harsh voice, "Stop talking!"
