The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Is Shen Yanran Li Zhanting's wife?

He Weiguang never expected that she had such a powerful identity.

Why didn't Lin Xin'er tell him?

Perhaps she didn't know either. She was such a naive person, how could she think so much? She didn't even dare to tell her own father when she was wronged, and she might have even been threatened by Shen Yanran.

He Weiguang had heard some rumors about Shen Yanran and knew that she was once the daughter of Shen's Jewelry.

But that was before the Shen family fell from grace.

The Shen family is now almost insignificant, let alone Shen Yanran, a woman who was abandoned by the Shen family long ago.

Even though she has now married Li Zhanting and become a person of high status, it doesn't mean she is not greedy for money.

Everyone knows that being a daughter-in-law in a wealthy family is not easy. Unless you are a good match for someone from a similar background and have your own family backing you up, how can a woman with nothing stand on her own in her husband's family?

Especially the Li family, a wealthy and powerful family that is comparable to a country, must have signed a lot of agreements before the marriage, which restricted her assets. If she didn't have money, of course she would have to find a way to make money. Otherwise, how much money could a small jewelry designer earn?

From the moment Lin Xin'er told He Weiguang how Shen Yanran had hurt her, he concluded that Shen Yanran was not a good woman.

So he said with disdain in his eyes, "What's impossible about that? Two and a half million is nothing to Li Zhanting, but that doesn't mean his wife doesn't care. Otherwise, why would she still work after marrying such a rich man? Isn't she still short of money?"

He Ruidong still trusted his intuition. "But President Li is known for spoiling his wife. Would he not give her money to spend? Let alone 2.5 million, even 250 million wouldn't be a problem for me. So there must be some misunderstanding here."

He Weiguang frowned and continued to persuade his father, "Dad, why can't you understand? If Li Zhanting didn't cultivate the image of a loving husband, would his family's stock have grown so fast? Businessmen are all profit-driven. How many people can truly love each other? Only an old married couple like you and Mom, who started from scratch, can be considered true love."

He Ruidong doesn't care about true love or anything like that; all he wants is the relationship between Shen Yanran and Li Zhanting's wife.

Besides, even if what his son said is true, what does it have to do with him?

He Ruidong stated unequivocally, "I don't care what you think, but the jewelry design I've finalized is non-refundable."

“No, I absolutely will not allow any flaws to occur on such an important day for you and Mom. If you are unwilling to discuss canceling the order, I will do it.” He Weiguang’s attitude was also very firm.

Moreover, he has already promised to help Lin Xin'er get revenge, so he will absolutely not go back on his word.

"You dare! That was a gift I gave to your mother. You have no right to cancel it for me!"

"Dad, I don't want to argue with you, don't force me!"

He Ruidong had never seen his son so assertive before, especially for some inexplicable reason.

The sounds of the father and son arguing finally caught Cao Na's attention. "What are you two arguing about in the study?"

He Ruidong didn't want his son to reveal the surprise he had prepared, so he quickly explained, "It's nothing, it's just that we have a slight disagreement about something at the company, right, Xiaoguang?"

Seeing the warning look in his mother's eyes, and not wanting to worry her, He Weiguang nodded and replied, "Yes, Mom, it's just work-related, nothing serious."

Cao Na glanced at them back and forth, her expression displeased as she tried to smooth things over: "Since it's a company matter, then take it back to the company to talk about it. Don't talk about it at home, arguing back and forth. I don't want to listen to it. It's getting late, you two should go back to your rooms and go to sleep!"

In this family, Cao Na's words carry weight, keeping the father and son completely under her thumb.

"I know, wife."

"I got it, Mom."

The two men lowered their heads and each responded in a low voice.

Shen Yanran's matter was thus dropped.

As soon as He Weiguang returned to his room, Lin Xiner sent him a WeChat message: "Weiguang, are you asleep?"

Lin Xin'er also searched through her WeChat friend list for a long time before finding He Weiguang's name, which had been blocked before.

But in order to ruin Shen Yanran's reputation, she had no choice but to compromise herself and contact the man she didn't really like for a few more days.

Upon seeing this, He Weiguang immediately replied, "Not yet, what's wrong?"

Lin Xin'er pretended to be understanding and said, "You didn't tell Uncle about Shen Yanran, did you? After I got home, I thought about it and decided that I should just let it go and not let it affect your family's affairs. After all, one thing is one thing, and it wouldn't be good if it delayed Uncle from giving Aunt the wedding anniversary gift."

He Weiguang was at a loss for how to explain that his father had not agreed to cancel Shen Yanran's design, so Lin Xin'er took the initiative to persuade him, thinking of his best interests.

What a kind girl! How could she let a vicious woman like Shen Yanran bully her?

He Weiguang quickly sent a voice message, his voice extremely gentle as he comforted her: "How can that be, Xin'er? If I didn't know about this, I would have let it go. But now that I know, I absolutely will not allow such a morally corrupt woman to ruin my parents' wedding anniversary. Besides, we've been classmates, so your problem is my problem. Don't worry, I'll find a way to resolve this."

"Thank you, Weiguang, for helping me." Lin Xin'er sent the message and added a cute emoji.

He Weiguang's heart melted at the sight. "You're welcome, Xin'er. Go to sleep early. Good night."

Lin Xin'er replied almost instantly, "Okay, goodnight."

After sending the WeChat message, Lin Xin'er lay on the bed, wearing a face mask worth several hundred yuan, humming a little tune, feeling extremely happy.

Shen Yanran, just wait until you're kicked out of the Li family!

Just then, Shen Yanran, who was about to leave the company, sneezed twice without realizing it, feeling as if someone was talking about her behind her back.

But then I thought about it and realized I hadn't offended anyone, so I guess I just caught a cold.

It's already autumn, and while the daytime temperature is still relatively mild, it gets much cooler at night.

She had to work overtime today and wasn't dressed warmly enough; I hope she doesn't catch a cold.

Otherwise, I'll have to be separated from my little ones at home.

Song Lingxue had been keeping Shen Yanran company while she worked overtime. Only after she saw that the lights in Shen Yanran's office were turned off did she begin to pack her own things.

As Shen Yanran left the office, she noticed that Song Lingxue was dressed very lightly and worried that she might get cold, so she suggested, "Xiaoxue, it's so late, and your home is quite far from here. Don't take the subway, take a taxi home instead, and I'll reimburse you."

Song Lingxue gently shook her head, "It's okay, Sister Yanran, taking the subway is quite convenient for me."

She didn't want to spend 100 yuan on a taxi home; even if she got reimbursed, it was definitely not worth it.

"How can that be? It's so dark and cold outside. It's not safe for you to take the subway alone. I'm worried about you." Shen Yanran was genuinely concerned about Song Lingxue.

Song Lingxue genuinely felt it was unnecessary. "You really don't need to, Sister Yanran. I'm used to it, and I have pepper spray in my bag, so I'm not afraid of bad guys."

Pepper spray is just for peace of mind. If you really encounter bad guys, you won't even have time to think about using it for self-defense.

Shen Yanran took out her phone and planned to call a Didi (ride-hailing service) for Song Lingxue to take her home.

But before she could even open the ride-hailing app, a phone call came in: "Honey, I noticed the lights in your office are all off. Why haven't you come down yet?"

How did Li Zhanting know that the lights in her office were off?

Is he downstairs?

Shen Yanran subconsciously walked to the window, looked down at the familiar Maybach below, and asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I say I didn't need you to pick me up?"

Li Zhanting said matter-of-factly, "How can I feel at ease letting you go home alone? Of course I have to come and pick you up myself. Besides, you must be hungry at this hour, so I'll take you to eat something delicious."

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because now that he had, Shen Yanran's stomach was indeed growling with hunger.

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right down." After saying that, Shen Yanran pulled Song Lingxue toward the elevator.

Seeing Shen Yanran and Li Zhanting so affectionate, Song Lingxue couldn't help but say enviously, "President Li is so good to you. He came to pick you up personally so late."

She thought that wealthy people all had chauffeured drivers.

Shen Yanran chuckled lightly, "He's just worrying unnecessarily. He treats me like a three-year-old, as if I can't go home without him."

But I still felt very warm inside.

The elevator arrived, and after Shen Yanran and Song Lingxue stepped inside, she said, "When we get downstairs, come with me. We'll have a late-night snack first, and then I'll take you home."

"Huh? Take me home?" Song Lingxue looked at Shen Yanran in surprise. "No need, Sister Yanran, I can manage on my own, really. Besides, President Li came all the way to pick you up, so I won't be a third wheel."

Shen Yanran didn't want her subordinate to suffer. "What do you mean by a third wheel? We've been married for ages, there's no need for such formalities. Besides, you've been working hard with me all night, you must be hungry too. It's settled then."

At the company entrance, as soon as Li Zhanting saw Shen Yanran come out, he immediately went to greet her and draped a thick coat over her shoulders to keep her warm.

Shen Yanran then took off her own clothes and draped them over Song Lingxue, saying, "It's chilly at night, and you're wearing too little. Here, take this."

Song Lingxue instantly felt a gaze more chilling than the cold wind fall on her, and when she looked up, she saw Li Zhanting's icy and piercing eyes.

She instinctively shivered. "No need, Sister Yanran, I'm not cold. This coat was prepared for you by President Li, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yanran interrupted, "It's okay, you wear it, I'll wear his."

Li Zhanting understood immediately and took off his coat, putting it on Shen Yanran. His icy expression softened considerably.

It seemed nice to be able to warm his wife's body with his own body heat, so he didn't argue with Song Lingxue anymore.
