The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Li Zhanting didn't know why he said those words, but since he had already said them, he had to make them come true.

He even took pity on himself and pointed to his mouth, repeating in a seductive voice, "If you want cake, kiss me."

Shen Yanran hadn't kissed Li Zhanting in a long time, so she felt a little embarrassed to suddenly take the initiative to kiss him.

Although she really wanted to eat that piece of cake, her shame overcame her appetite, and she smacked her lips and refused, saying, "Then forget it. I don't really want to eat it either. You can eat it yourself, but don't waste it."

Fortunately, Li Zhanting is currently injured and unable to move around easily, otherwise he might have brought the cake over himself and insisted that she give him a kiss.

Shen Yanran felt that Li Zhanting's gaze was too intense, making her a little uncomfortable. "Um, I'm a little tired. I'll go to the next room to sleep first. You should get some rest too."

Without waiting for Li Zhanting's opinion, she ran into the cubicle and locked the door again.

Shen Yanran had just breathed a sigh of relief when her phone rang. It was Wen Qian calling.

"Yanran, how are things on your end? Do you need me to come over and help?"

Shen Yanran gently refused, "No need, I'm fine, so don't bother me and delay your work."

"What about Li Zhanting? Has he regained his memory? I overheard Xie Tingrui mentioning a woman named Elsa on the phone with Song Yue. She's also in the hospital and was injured while saving Li Zhanting. Could she be interested in your man?" Wen Qian's intuition told her that this was not a simple matter.

She also asked Song Yue, who said that she was a female classmate with whom he had a very good relationship, but she disappeared on the day of graduation and has been missing for five years.

Then, by sheer coincidence, she reappeared when Li Zhanting went to the United States and even saved his life.

She would never believe that this woman had no feelings for Li Zhanting.

But every time I talked to Shen Yanran, she said everything was fine and never mentioned the name Elsa.

Wenqian was afraid that Shen Yanran would do something foolish again, keeping all her pain inside and not telling anyone.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten up so early to make that overseas call to Shen Yanran; she was just worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone, and she was prepared to leave at any time.

"You already know..." Shen Yanran told Wen Qian everything because she was afraid that Wen Qian would worry about her.

Unexpectedly, I learned everything from Song Yue in the end.

"You mean it's true? That woman really has designs on Li Zhanting!" Wen Qian's voice immediately became serious. "Why didn't you tell me? She definitely wants to take advantage of Li Zhanting's amnesia."

Shen Yanran was surprised that Wen Qian was even more agitated than her when she found out about this. "Wen Qian, don't worry, listen to me. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. Besides, I'm not stupid. I can tell whether other women have feelings for my husband, and I've already dealt with that perfectly."

"Huh? Really? Tell me quickly!" Wenqian was very excited. She really couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Shen Yanran has always been a soft-hearted person, so her ability to perfectly resolve her love rival's situation was truly astonishing.

Shen Yanran sat down and told Wen Qian everything that had happened in the past few days since she met Elsa.

Outside.

Following Shen Yanran's principle of not wasting anything, Li Zhanting ate the cake.

Then he picked up his laptop and began his work.

I haven't dealt with any work for three days, and there's a lot piling up. I guess I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Elsa was another person who couldn't sleep that night.

Because Elsa lost face in front of Li Zhanting, Wilson John took her home and gave her a beating.

Elsa was already injured, and after being beaten so badly, she felt like she was about to die.

Dalia stood at the door, hearing the sound of her daughter being whipped, and her heart ached terribly, but she dared not disobey Wilson John's wishes in the slightest.

They were terrified of being kicked out of the house and never being able to come back.

All he could do was silently pray to God that Wilson-John would calm down and let the matter pass.

Wilson John grew angrier as he looked at Elsa lying on the ground. "You little bitch, you couldn't even seduce that Eastern boy Li Zhanting. What else can you do? You even beat Tom to death and made your brother suffer a lot. I don't think you're of any use anymore. You can go to Africa tomorrow. My old friend is still thinking about you."

Wilson John had always thought that Elsa's stunning beauty would quickly win over Li Zhanting, but he never expected that so much time had passed and not only had it been completely ineffective, but he had also been manipulated by another Eastern woman, which was a huge loss of face for him!

Instead of wasting more time with her, it would be better to give her to Mark in Africa; at least he could get a gold mine in return.

Elsa was in excruciating pain, but when she heard that Wilson John was going to send her to some godforsaken place in Africa, she gritted her teeth and crawled to him, pleading, "Father, please, please don't send me to Africa. Give me one more chance, please, just one last time!"

Wilson John said without any regard for family ties, "Elsa, I've given you too many chances, but you not only failed to seize them, you've disappointed me time and time again."

"No, Father, I'm useful, I really am useful." Elsa coughed several times anxiously and continued, "Doesn't my brother still need, cough cough cough, I still need my bone marrow?"

Wilson John kicked her with disgust and indifference, saying, "There's more than just your bone marrow to save my precious son. Umbilical cord blood is also a good treatment option. Your mother is more than a month pregnant. If it's a boy, that would be best, but if it's a girl, then we can only keep the umbilical cord blood. So, Elsa, you're not even of any use anymore. What do you think I'd keep you for?"

"I...I..." Elsa had no idea that her mother was pregnant, and she couldn't believe that an unborn child was so much more important than her, a living person.

"I can even help you steal the design drawings. Li Zhanting trusts me quite a bit. His computer is in his hospital room, and there must be very important information there. I can take the opportunity to steal it! Father, really, I can do it!" But no matter what, she couldn't go to Africa, even if it meant death. Otherwise, her life would be worse than death!

Wilson-John had secretly sent people to steal the design blueprints from the Li family's military factory countless times, but all attempts failed.

The one successful attempt was just a preliminary design and ultimately useless.

And since then, the area has been strictly regulated, making it impossible to even steal.

If, as Elsa suggested, starting with Li Zhanting's computer is indeed a viable approach, then perhaps that's a solution.

Wilson sat in the leather sofa, lit a cigar, took a long puff, and said in a low voice, "Fine, I'll give you one last chance. Within three days, either get Li Zhanting's computer or go to Africa."

"I understand, thank you, Father." Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt ridiculous. She was the one who was beaten and scolded, yet she had to thank the culprit.

Wilson John waved his hand expressionlessly. "Okay, you can go now."

Elsa was in so much pain she could barely walk, but she bit her lip and walked step by step toward the door. She would rather die from the pain than stay in this suffocating study any longer.

But the moment she opened the door, she was stunned. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Dalia looked at her daughter with a pained expression and cried, "Elsa, my poor daughter, how could your father do such a thing to you? Oh God, I'll go and get you a doctor."

Elsa grabbed Dalia's arm and asked in a hoarse voice, "You...you've been standing here the whole time?"

Dalia was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"So you just let him hit me from inside? Why, Mom? You used to come and save me." Elsa looked at her mother in disbelief.

She could have prevented herself from suffering such serious harm, so why didn't she?

Dalia's eyes darted around as she said, "I'm sorry, Elsa, it's not that Mommy doesn't want to save you, it's just that Mommy is pregnant, only a little over a month along and still not stable. I'm afraid that if something happens..."

Elsa gripped Dalia's arm tighter and tighter. "Aren't you afraid that if you hurt him, I'll die in there?"

Dalia shook her head repeatedly, her pitiful face streaked with tears as she explained, "No, Elsa, you are your father's biological daughter. He wouldn't really kill you."

Elsa chuckled self-deprecatingly, “Of course he won’t kill me. He still needs me to do a lot of things. Even if I’m no longer of use, he can still get a considerable income by marrying me off to Africa.”

Dalia's eyes widened, hardly believing Elsa's words. "Impossible! Your father promised me he wouldn't let you marry too far away. He said he found you a man from a very wealthy family, and you'd meet him in a few days to get to know each other. How could he suddenly send you to marry someone from Africa?"

"Mom, I really don't know whether to say you're too naive or that you're just pretending to be confused." Elsa was too exhausted to argue with her anymore. "Fine, whatever makes you happy. I'm going back to my room."

"Wait, Elsa, your injuries haven't been treated yet." Dalia still followed after her, somewhat worried.

"Don't worry about me, I'm not going to die." Elsa said and went upstairs without looking back.

She didn't dare to cry out loud until she got back to her room.

At the same time, she made up her mind: if she didn't succeed, she would die trying!
