The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

This was Shen Yanran's first time attending such an event, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.

She even had a vague feeling that there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind, seemingly without any malice.

Wen Qian lifted her long skirt and took a few steps forward. When she realized that Shen Yanran hadn't followed, she turned around and called out, "Yanran, what are you looking at? Why aren't you walking?"

Shen Yanran didn't actually know what she was looking at; she just subconsciously turned around and glanced around, but didn't find anything. "It's nothing, let's go."

No sooner had Shen Yanran and Wen Qian entered the hotel than a dark figure slowly emerged from a nearby billboard. It was the same bodyguard in black and sunglasses who had just "thrown money at people."

He glanced sharply at Shen Yanran's retreating figure, then expressionlessly took out his phone from his pocket and typed a text message to report: "The boss's wife has arrived safely, please rest assured, boss."

Li Zhanting's expression didn't change much after receiving the text message. He sent He Shan along because he was afraid that similar violent incidents involving Shen Yufei's fans would occur again.

Better safe than sorry; she was always worried about him not being by her side.

He Shan was an orphan who had been sponsored by the Li family. After he grew up, he joined the army and worked under Li's command after retiring from the army last year. He was highly skilled in martial arts, and even if eight or nine men attacked him together, they would not be his match.

Therefore, I trust him completely.

"Okay, keep an eye on things for me. Report any unusual activity to me immediately." Li Zhanting's slender fingers swiped quickly across his phone.

Upon seeing the reply, He Shan silently put away his phone and resumed his mission of secretly protecting Shen Yanran.

Taking advantage of the moment when the security guards were changing shifts at the hotel entrance, he quickly slipped in through the side door.

At this moment, Shen Yanran and Wen Qian had already taken the elevator to the banquet venue on the eighth floor.

Just as I had imagined, the banquet had only just begun, and everyone was still exchanging pleasantries.

"Sister Wenqian, over here, I'm here." A young girl wearing round glasses and a cute, fluffy pink princess dress waved cheerfully to Wenqian.

Wen Qian waved gently to her colleagues and introduced them to Shen Yanran beside her: "Our magazine assigned me an intern assistant named Sun Lu. She's young, pretty, and clever. I brought her along to get acquainted with her so it will be easier to handle things in the future."

When Sun Lu saw that Wen Qian was accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman with a cold and elegant demeanor, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Editor-in-Chief Wen, is this the good friend Shen Yanran that you often mention? She's so beautiful!"

Sun Lu is a recent college graduate who has been interning at Jia Shang Magazine for less than half a year. She is hardworking, sensible, and perceptive, so the human resources department recommended her to work alongside Wen Qian.

I've been with Wenqian for almost three months now. Wenqian is very approachable, and we usually get along quite well. I often hear her talk about her and Shen Yanran. I've always wanted to see this legendary best friend, and it turns out that seeing is believing.

The light blue V-neck dress fit her beautiful figure perfectly, and her long, snow-white legs were faintly visible at the hem. The expensive and exquisite fabric became dynamic as she walked.

Furthermore, her innate, aloof, and otherworldly aura made people hesitant to approach her.

Furthermore, with her hair styled high up and adorned with sparkling diamond jewelry, Shen Yanran became even more radiant.

Every move, every smile, touches the heart.

If the other beauties present, after being carefully dressed up, were delicate and lovely princesses, then Shen Yanran was a sacred and inviolable cold and aloof queen, someone to be admired from afar but not to be trifled with.

Shen Yanran and Wen Qian entered the banquet hall in a low-key manner, but they still couldn't hide the extraordinary aura emanating from them.

Many eyes had begun to notice them, especially the men's gazes, which kept wandering around Shen Yanran.

Sun Lu also noticed this and immediately whispered to Wen Qian and Shen Yanran, "Sister, look, all those men are looking at us."

Wenqian was already used to these kinds of looks. It's said that men are animals who think with their lower bodies, so when they see a beautiful woman, they can't help but take a second look. She was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Shen Yanran hadn't received so much attention in a long time, so she felt a little uncomfortable and chose to ignore the various gazes behind her.

Now her attention is entirely focused on the delicious food in front of her.

Strangely enough, when Shen Yanran is nervous or feels uncomfortable, she likes to eat something, as if it's a way to relieve stress.

Just as she was about to pick up the delicate little matcha cake in front of her, a glass of pale yellow champagne blocked her view, followed by a frivolous male voice from beside her, "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of offering you a glass of champagne?"

Shen Yanran looked up at the sound and saw a man who seemed to be wearing all designer brands, with a pale face, dark red eyes, a smug smile on his lips, and a frivolous demeanor, looking every bit the playboy.

She frowned slightly, and after maintaining a certain distance from the man in front of her, politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol."

Shen Yanran's alcohol tolerance is so low that she can't drink more than one glass, so she usually doesn't touch a drop of alcohol.

However, Zhou Chengkun didn't interpret these words the same way.

What does it mean to not drink alcohol?

Attending such occasions, who would say they truly abstain from alcohol completely? It's simply a matter of who can drink and who can't.

In Zhou Chengkun's view, the pretty young woman in front of him wasn't incapable of drinking; she just didn't want to drink with him.

Not wanting to drink with him means you're looking down on him!

"You really can't drink?" Zhou Chengkun was already quite drunk, and his gaze towards Shen Yanran became increasingly infatuated. He didn't believe she couldn't drink, and he insisted on shoving the glass into her hand. "I don't believe you, you must be lying to me. Drink up, and if you drink this glass, I'll give you this watch I'm wearing, how about that?"

Although Zhou Chengkun's character is not very good, he is a true second-generation rich kid. His family is in the coal mining business, and it is no exaggeration to call them nouveau riche. He likes to solve everything with money.

He's particularly fond of women; if he likes one, he'll shower her with money, and he's never failed to win her over. He's sure this sexy bombshell in front of him will be no exception.

Shen Yanran glanced at the diamond-encrusted Rolex on the man's wrist with an icy expression; it was worth about four or five hundred thousand yuan.

They really went to great lengths just to let her have a glass of champagne...

Unfortunately, Shen Yanran didn't care at all and was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she turned around and left.

When Zhou Chengkun saw that Shen Yanran was being so disrespectful, he immediately turned hostile, "You bitch, you stop right there! Did I say you could leave?!"

Wen Qian was talking to Sun Lu when she suddenly heard someone arguing behind her. She instinctively turned around and saw a gaudy, sleazy man harassing Shen Yanran.

That's pretty cool!

Wen Qian rushed over in one stride, shoved the man hard, and warned him with a stern face, "Hey, Zhou Chengkun, watch your mouth! Go somewhere cool and stay away from my friend!"

Zhou Chengkun is a notorious playboy in Haicheng. Relying on his family's wealth, he spends his days indulging in debauchery and changing girlfriends as easily as changing clothes, almost never repeating the same one every month.

He's also incredibly lecherous. He'll take any woman who's even remotely attractive, and once he's done with her, he'll just throw her aside and give her a few thousand dollars to get rid of her. I've heard that quite a few women have had abortions for him. He's the worst of the worst!

Zhou Chengkun was used to doing whatever he wanted at home, and even his father couldn't control him. How could he possibly let a woman act arrogantly in front of him? "Who the hell are you! Mind your own business, or I'll kill you!"

Although the woman before him was a rare beauty, he preferred Shen Yanran, a woman of exquisite and aloof beauty. He couldn't wait to take her right there and then, tear off her cold demeanor, and make her beg for mercy under him.

He was already getting excited just thinking about it. "You bitch, you better come and serve me properly, or you'll regret it!"

Zhou Chengkun started shouting loudly, disregarding the occasion, which immediately attracted the attention of many people around him, and their discussions gradually spread to the center of the banquet.

Gao Yufeng was having a friendly conversation with some business partners when he suddenly heard a murmur of discussion around him. He gradually frowned and subconsciously looked toward the center of the incident.

"Look over there, it looks like they're arguing..."

"Who is it that has the audacity to cause trouble in a place like this? Are they crazy?"

"The voice sounds like Zhou Chengkun... It must be about some woman again..."

Shen Yufei was standing next to Gao Yufeng with a shy and smug look on her face. She followed his gaze and looked over curiously, but she never expected to see the bitch Shen Yanran that she hated the most!

Gao Yufeng naturally also saw Shen Yanran's beautiful figure.

His image of her as a bland, uninteresting, and unkept woman had undergone a complete transformation, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the wine glass.

At this moment, she was like a queen on a high throne, looking at the man who was pestering her with a cold and disdainful expression.

And for some reason, he suddenly felt an urge to rush over and protect her.

Shen Yufei stared intently at Shen Yanran's expensive clothes, then looked at her own carefully chosen dress, which cost less than half the price!

This was too much for Shen Yufei, who had always bullied Shen Yanran, to bear.

Fortunately, Gao Yufeng has always been on her side. As long as she makes a little move, no matter how noble Shen Yanran dresses or how exquisite her attire is, she will ultimately be her defeated opponent and a discarded woman abandoned by a man!
