The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Li Zhanting naturally enjoyed Shen Yanran's initiative, but a light kiss wasn't enough. Just as he was about to continue, his "little glutton" had already shifted her attention to the beef skewers in his hand and was eating them with relish.

Li Zhanting smiled wryly and had no choice but to continue serving her.

Soon after, Xie Tingrui and Song Yue's voices came one after another.

"Hey Lao Li, you're really something! I can smell the delicious food, and you're not calling us? Are you just eating alone with your wife?"

"That's right, that's right, I was the one who suggested these skewers, so I should get some too!"

Shen Yanran was already quite familiar with them and knew they were joking, so she ate her kebabs while turning her head to look at the four people walking towards her.

She casually handed the grilled meat skewers she was holding to Wen Qian and Jiang Xiaonian, saying with a hint of pride, "Try them, my husband grilled them, they taste especially good."

Wen Qian and Jiang Xiaonian both knew very well what kind of person Li Zhanting was in Haicheng and even in the whole of China. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn't have dared to imagine that the heir of a prestigious family would willingly grill skewers for his wife.

Wen Qian was already used to it; it wasn't the first time she'd seen them showing off their affection. As she took the skewers, she couldn't help but tease, "I have to try President Li's cooking."

Jiang Xiaonian still seemed a little awkward, and gently shook her head, saying, "I'm on a diet, so I won't eat."

Wenqian, ever the friendly one, took the skewers from her and said, "Oh, Xiaonian, don't be shy, hurry up and try them. You won't find another chance like this, and how can you have the energy to lose weight if you don't eat your fill? It's not like you're missing out on one more day."

Seeing that Wen Qian had already said so, Jiang Xiaonian realized that it wouldn't be right for him to refuse. "Alright then, I'll try it."

Seeing the women enjoying their meal, Xie Tingrui and Song Yue couldn't resist joining in. They ran over to Li Zhanting, picked up the freshly grilled skewers, and said, "Old Li, you're amazing! Your skills are as good as ever. We're in for a treat today."

Song Yue nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, it's been at least five or six years since I last ate skewers grilled by you. The first time was when I was in the army."

When the topic of the military came up, all three men genuinely missed the days when they fought side by side together.

"By the way, I see it's still early, how about we play cards for a while? It's been ages since we played." Xie Tingrui looked at the other two with eagerness.

Song Yue also became interested and said, "Yeah, everyone's been so busy lately. We haven't played together in ages. Lao Li, your card skills haven't gotten worse, have they?"

Seeing that his two good brothers had said so, Li Zhanting didn't want to spoil their fun, so he said, "Okay, no problem, just don't say I'm bullying you two."

The group returned to the living room.

Fortunately, the two precious children at home were being taken care of by Grandpa Li and Grandma Li, so Shen Yanran didn't have to worry too much. She played cards with Li Zhanting for a while.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Shen Yufei, who was still washing dishes, heard the other servants say that the masters had returned to the living room and that they needed to prepare drinks and juice.

In an instant, an idea came to her.

While the maid went to the underground winery to fetch red wine, she secretly opened the refrigerator and took out a mango when no one was paying attention.

This fruit is fine for most people, but it would cause Shen Yanran to have a full-body allergic reaction. She can't really do anything to her right now, but she should at least make her suffer for a while so she can vent her anger.

The maid had everything prepared and was about to send it out when she suddenly heard someone call out to her from behind, "Wait, it seems you dropped your money."

The maid instinctively looked down and, sure enough, there was a bright red banknote not far behind her. She couldn't remember putting such a banknote in her pocket, but who wouldn't want it if it was found for free?

The maid placed the quilt she was carrying on the table beside her, casually said thank you, and then bent down to pick up the money.

Shen Yufei took advantage of this break to add some of her pre-squeezed mango juice to each glass of juice.

In this way, no matter which glass of juice Shen Yanran drinks, it will contain mango, and she will definitely be allergic.

As the maid who had picked up the money turned around, Shen Yufei also hid the items behind her back and smiled at her, pretending nothing had happened.

The maid gave Shen Yufei a strange look. Wasn't this woman working here to fill in because her family was so poor they couldn't even afford food? Why didn't she pick up the money on the ground? And why did she tell her, "Are there still such good people in this day and age?"

There was no time to think about it anymore; she had to hurry and deliver the drinks to the guests.

Li Zhanting and his opponents were halfway through their card game, with some winning and some losing.

However, Song Yue lost the most miserably, with his entire face covered in notes, which made Wen Qian laugh. She even took many unflattering photos of him with her phone.

Song Yue's competitive spirit surged, and he said with all his might, "Let's go again. I don't believe I can keep losing today."

Just then, the maid came over with a glass of red wine. He grabbed one of the glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Yanran smiled and picked up one of the juice glasses, taking a few sips.

As soon as she took a sip, she sensed something was wrong, but since she was definitely holding orange juice, she assumed it was just her imagination and continued watching them play cards.

Afraid that Shen Yanran would be bored, Li Zhanting shuffled the cards in his hand, turned around, and asked softly, "Do you want to play?"

"I'm not very good at playing poker, let's forget it." Shen Yanran didn't have his poker skills, so she didn't want to embarrass him.

However, not long after she said that, she began to feel hot all over, and several parts of her body started to itch, as if she had an allergic reaction to something.

She scratched it subconsciously, only to find that the more she scratched, the itchier it became.

Wen Qian happened to be sitting opposite Shen Yanran. After looking at the cards Song Yue had drawn, she was about to complain about his bad luck when she suddenly noticed that Shen Yanran's expression was a little off. "Yanran, are you alright?"

Li Zhanting immediately put down his cards, turned around with a tense expression, and carefully observed Shen Yanran. "Wife, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine, you guys keep having fun, don't worry about me." Shen Yanran thought that it was rare for her three good brothers to get together, and she didn't want to spoil their fun.

But Li Zhanting had no interest in continuing to play cards, because Shen Yanran's face was getting redder and redder, and many small red bumps had appeared on her neck and arms.

Jiang Xiaonian, being a nurse, immediately recognized that Shen Yanran was having an allergic reaction. "Yanran, it seems like you're having an allergic reaction. What did you just eat?"

Shen Yanran said, somewhat confused, "I eat the same things as you all, and I've eaten them often before. This has never happened before, except..."

She turned her gaze to the glass of orange juice in front of her. "I felt something was wrong after drinking the orange juice, but I'm not allergic to oranges. I'm only allergic to mangoes, so I never eat them."

Li Zhanting's dark, deep eyes suddenly turned sharp. "Never mind that for now, I'll take you to the hospital."

Seeing Shen Yanran's itchy and uncomfortable appearance, Li Zhanting felt extremely distressed. No matter who tampered with that glass of orange juice, he had to make sure she got better first.

Shen Yanran gradually felt that her breathing was becoming more difficult, so she did not refuse Li Zhanting's suggestion to go to the hospital.

The others naturally wanted to follow him in death, but Li Zhanting refused them all.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor immediately recognized that Shen Yanran was having an allergic reaction. The only quick and effective treatment was to administer an injection of anti-allergy medication.

Shen Yanran immediately refused, "No, I can't get a shot, I'm still breastfeeding."

The doctor immediately offered a second solution: "Then we can only apply the ointment to the areas with the allergic reaction, but it will take a little longer to take effect, so you'll have to be patient for a while."

Shen Yanran still hesitated and said, "It's okay, I feel much better. I'll wait a bit longer, maybe I'll feel better soon."

Li Zhanting understood that she was worried about the child and afraid that applying the medicine would affect the child's health. "Wife, don't force yourself. I'll find a way to take care of the child."

Shen Yanran grasped Li Zhanting's large hand and explained softly, "I really feel much better. Look, my face isn't as red as before, and I don't have a fever anymore."

Li Zhanting touched her forehead and found that her fever had indeed subsided, so he gave in, "Alright, I'll stay here with you for another half an hour. If you still feel unwell, you'll have to apply the medicine."

Shen Yanran obediently nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Before leaving, Li Zhanting specifically instructed the housekeeper to preserve everything they had just eaten, so that Xu Fan could come and take it away for testing.

He wanted to confirm whether the problem really was with that drink.

But there was one thing he couldn't understand: at night, only a few of his closest friends remained, and since they had no grudges against each other, they would never harm Shen Yanran.

Just then, Li Zhanting's phone rang. It was a WeChat message from Xu Fan: "President, the test results are in. It's true that the orange juice had a problem; it contained 10% mango."

Shen Yanran noticed that his expression was getting increasingly serious as he looked at his phone, and thought something bad had happened. "What's wrong?"

Li Zhanting didn't hide anything and said directly, "I had Xu Fan test the things we ate and drank before. It's true that there was mango in that glass of orange juice, but I didn't even know you were allergic to mangoes. Who would use this to harm you?"

Shen Yanran also fell into deep thought. "Only the Shen family knows that I am allergic to mangoes. Even Wen Qian doesn't know. I have always avoided contact with anything related to mangoes. Could it be a misunderstanding? The maid didn't know that I was allergic to mangoes, so she accidentally put it in?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Li Zhanting's deep eyes as he said, "Whether it was an accident or not, we'll find out with an investigation."
