The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Both the ventilator and the heart monitor confirmed that Shen Guohua had already passed away.

But Li Zhanting still called a doctor to perform emergency treatment.

The doctor had been standing guard at the door, not daring to leave for a moment. Upon hearing Li Zhanting's call, he rushed in and checked Shen Guohua's body.

Then they all shook their heads and said regretfully to Li Zhanting, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, the old man has passed away."

But Shen Yanran seemed to know nothing, and continued to hold Shen Guohua's slightly cool right hand, saying softly, "Zhan Ting, Grandpa seems to be asleep. Why don't you ask them all to leave?"

Li Zhanting knew how much Shen Yanran cared about Shen Guohua. He thought she would burst into tears at this moment, and even had the doctor prepare for emergency treatment. However, she acted as if nothing had happened and remained unusually calm.

After Li Zhanting dismissed the doctor and nurses, he lowered his eyes, held her tightly in his arms, and comforted her, "Yanran, don't be like this. Grandpa isn't asleep. He...he's gone."

Shen Yanran looked up at him blankly and said in a hoarse voice, "Gone? What do you mean gone? Grandpa is right here, he didn't go anywhere."

She turned her head again to look at Shen Guohua's bloodless face, each breath more painful than the last. She gripped Li Zhanting's arm tightly, as if to prove her words, "Look, Grandpa is sleeping right here, he's sleeping peacefully. Oh, it's almost noon, Grandpa will definitely be hungry when he wakes up. I'll call Aunt Wang and ask her to make Grandpa's favorite egg noodles, and also prepare some fruit, and... and..."

what else?

Why can't she remember? How could she not remember!

Shen Yanran immediately grabbed Li Zhanting's hands, wanting to seek his help, "Can you help me think of what else Grandpa needs?"

Seeing Shen Yanran like this, Li Zhanting seemed to be in even more pain than she was. "Yanran, look at me."

Shen Yanran stared blankly at Li Zhanting with a hint of confusion. "You figured it out?"

Li Zhanting gently stroked her pale cheeks with both hands, then wiped away the tears that she herself had shed, one by one. "What Grandpa needs most right now is for you to be well, you know?"

Shen Yanran knew perfectly well that her grandfather's dying wish was for her happiness.

Perhaps because the pain was too great, she found it hard to accept this reality. After staring blankly for a few seconds, she could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears. She turned around and threw herself into Li Zhanting's arms, heartbroken and unable to extricate herself.

Li Zhanting didn't speak again, but silently reached out and hugged her tightly. His silent gaze revealed a restrained melancholy as he looked at Shen Guohua, who had already passed away on the hospital bed.

After Shen Yanran cried for a long time, Li Zhanting finally said in a low, somewhat somber voice, "It's good that you cried. Don't worry, Grandpa passed away peacefully. He's free from pain over there, and he'll definitely be doing very well..."

After learning of Shen Guohua's passing, the Li family rushed to the hospital. They saw that Shen Guohua's body was covered with a white sheet on the hospital bed, and their expressions were somewhat somber.

Especially Old Master Li and Old Madam Li, since Li Zhanting and Shen Yanran have been married for more than half a year, and they, as in-laws, have never officially met. They never expected that this only meeting would be at such a time.

The group nodded and silently mourned the deceased Shen Guohua on the hospital bed before raising their heads and saying to Li Zhanting, "Yanran's grandfather has passed away. She must be very sad. Don't go to the company during this time. Leave the funeral arrangements to us. Just stay home and stay with her."

Li Zhanting had originally planned to do the same. "Yes, I know."

However, compared to Shen Guohua's passing, Jiang Meiling was more concerned about whether Shen Yanran's unborn child would be affected. "Where is Shen Yanran? I haven't seen her. Could something have happened to my grandchildren?"

Li Zhanting glanced at his mother with a cold look in his eyes and said in a low voice, "I don't want her to be reminded of the past, so she's resting next door."

Jiang Meiling patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "It's good that my grandsons are alright. Anyway, the dead can't be brought back to life. Tell your wife not to be too sad, so as not to affect the children's health. It's not worth it."

Ultimately, she looked down on Shen Yanran, and even more so on Shen Yanran's family. Whether they lived or died was none of her business. For her, it was already a favor that they came to see her.

Li Shengtian felt that Jiang Meiling's words were a bit excessive at this time. "What kind of time is this to be saying such sarcastic things? That's Yanran's grandfather!"

Jiang Meiling said somewhat indignantly, "That's right. What's the use of being sad and upset when someone is dead? We should think about the living instead. Otherwise, how could she, with her frail body, protect our Li family's child?"

Li Shengtian glared angrily at Jiang Meiling, "Are you still not done?"

Jiang Meiling muttered, her face pale, "Dad, I was just telling the truth, why are you so angry? I..."

Li Zhanting suddenly interrupted him in a stern voice, "Enough, stop talking. This is none of your business. You can leave."

He didn't want Shen Guohua to leave without finding peace.

Jiang Meiling hadn't intended to stay any longer. Saying goodbye to a dead stranger felt unlucky, and she wouldn't have bothered coming if Li Zhanting's grandparents hadn't insisted on coming in person.

Jiang Meiling noticed that Li Zhanting's face was dark and somewhat frightening, so she didn't dare to say anything and turned to leave.

Sun Mingyan sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, that's just how your mother is. Don't take it too seriously. The most important thing now is to comfort Yanran. After all, her physical condition can't withstand any more stress. Leave things here to us. You take her home to rest first."

Li Zhanting nodded, then turned and went next door to find Shen Yanran.

Shen Yanran said she was resting, but she kept crying.

Li Zhanting slowly approached Shen Yanran, sat down, and then raised his hand to wipe away her hot tears. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how else he could comfort her.

In this life, birth, aging, illness, and death are all normal occurrences that everyone will experience.

Li Zhanting thought he was able to see things clearly. Faced with such a separation, although he was also saddened, he was able to accept it calmly. However, when he saw his wife crying so sadly, even his hardest heart couldn't help but feel a pang of pain for her.

Perhaps it was because of her sadness that he felt pity for her, and his emotions gradually turned sorrowful as well.

Shen Yanran had been crying for an unknown amount of time; her eyes were completely swollen and disfigured. No matter how Li Zhanting wiped them away, the tears in her eyes seemed endless, continuing to fall.

When Shen Yanran's mother passed away, she was still young, and there was nothing she could do but cry.

When Shen Guohua passed away this time, she could only cry again. The thought that she would never see her beloved grandfather again brought an overwhelming sense of sorrow and bitterness to her heart.

After her mother passed away, her grandfather was the only person in the family who truly cared about her feelings, and he was also her only motivation to persevere in that family.

For her, her grandfather's passing meant a loss of family affection.

Even if Cheng Liwen and Shen Changtian were still alive, she felt that they were no different from being dead.

But the words her grandfather said to her before he died made her wonder whether she should tell them about it.

This will allow Grandpa to pass away in greater peace of mind.

Shen Yanran leaned against Li Zhanting's chest, listening to the man's steady heartbeat, and finally calmed down a lot, but deep down she was still heartbroken.

She sniffed, looked up at him, her eyes red and brimming with tears, and said in a voice hoarse from crying, "Zhan Ting, what should I do? I don't have a grandfather anymore..."

“Even without Grandpa, you still have me, and my grandpa and grandma. They will love you just as much as Grandpa did.” Li Zhanting replied in a low voice, his deep gaze silently fixed on her.

Shen Yanran knew that Li Zhanting's grandparents loved her very much, but she felt that the love they showed her was different from the love she received from her own family.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry sadly.

Li Zhanting sighed inwardly with a hint of helplessness, "You've been crying for a long time. You can't keep crying, or your body won't be able to take it. We're not needed here anymore. I'll take you home first."

After he finished speaking, he didn't give Shen Yanran a chance to refuse and lifted her up from the waist, as she was on the verge of collapse.

Not long after leaving the ward, Xu Fan rushed over. Seeing Li Zhanting and Shen Yanran's appearance, she quickly said with a heavy expression, "President, Madam, please accept my condolences."

Li Zhanting said in a low voice, "Yes, go and help with Grandpa's funeral arrangements. Try to let him pass away peacefully and calmly, and then let my grandparents go home as soon as possible."

Xu Fan nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, President, I know what to do. Please feel free to leave it to me."

As soon as they returned to the apartment, Aunt Wang came up to them. She was about to ask how Grandpa Shen was feeling when she saw Li Zhanting shake his head.

Aunt Wang immediately understood, as if she knew what had happened, and remained silent.

She could only watch with a sorrowful expression as Li Zhanting carried Shen Yanran back to her room.

Shen Yanran was still a little dazed. Li Zhanting wanted her to take a simple shower and then get some rest, since she had stayed up very late last night.

But Shen Yanran was in no mood to take a shower. She sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then suddenly a wave of drowsiness washed over her, forcing her to close her eyes and fall asleep exhausted.

After looking at her with heartache for a few moments, Li Zhanting tucked her in before silently turning and leaving.
