The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Wen Qian, expressionless, moved her hand that had been used too forcefully, looked at the repulsive Chen Jiao, and sneered disdainfully, "I can hit you whenever I want, do I need to pick a day?"

Chen Jiao's face flushed red and paled in turns, wishing she could retaliate immediately. However, remembering that such a wonderful man was right beside her, she knew she couldn't lose her composure. So, she chose to swallow her anger, covering her tear-streaked face, and said aggrievedly, "Sir, you see, Shen Yanran is no good woman. Her friends are just as rude as her. It's nothing for me to suffer a little, but you must keep your eyes open and not be fooled by her appearance!"

Li Zhanting glanced coldly at Chen Jiao, who was feigning weakness and grievance, his deep, dark eyes flashing with a chilling light. His voice was low and filled with hostility, "Is that so?"

It was just two simple words, yet they sent chills down the spines of everyone present, and even the atmosphere around them became unusually oppressive and tense, as if something terrible was about to happen.

Chen Jiao's cheek was swollen from Wen Qian's slap, and she was cursing inwardly from the pain. She didn't notice the change in Li Zhanting's expression and continued talking to herself, "Sir, although it may be inappropriate for me to say this, I was slapped by that shrew for your sake. Don't you think..."

Chen Jiao thought that she had been wronged because of him, and that he should stand up for her and avenge her. However, she was interrupted by Li Zhanting's deep and cold voice before she could finish her sentence: "I think you weren't beaten enough just now."

Chen Jiao's feigned pitiful expression froze instantly, her body still reeling from the man's words. "You... what did you say?"

Could it be that she got a problem with her ear from being hit? Why is this man's reaction not what she expected?

A hint of impatience flashed across Li Zhanting's face. He gently pulled the still somewhat dazed Shen Yanran into his arms and said in a low voice to Xu Fan behind him, "Xu Fan, let her know what happens when she messes with my woman."

Xu Fan understood immediately and gave a knowing nod, a cold smirk playing on her lips. There's only one outcome for anyone who dares to mess with the president's wife.

The end?

What will happen?

And what did that man mean when he said "my woman"?

Could it be that Shen Yanran really is with him...?

Before Chen Jiao could figure out what was going on, Xu Fan had already walked up to her expressionlessly. "You... what do you want to do! In public, you, a grown man, don't think you can hit me!"

Any man with a modicum of pride wouldn't lay a hand on a woman, but Xu Fan was an exception. She would carry out any order from Li Zhanting, regardless of whether it was from a man or a woman.

However, this time, he was too lazy to do it himself.

A woman as outspoken as Chen Jiao could be easily dealt with by just two bodyguards. So he gestured to two of the bodyguards and said in a deep voice, "You two know what to do."

Upon receiving the instructions, the two stern-faced bodyguards immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, Secretary Xu."

After saying that, they took a few steps forward and immediately dragged Chen Jiao away, who was still clinging to a sliver of hope.

Only then did Chen Jiao realize that she was really doomed. She struggled to her feet and started yelling, no longer caring about her image, "Who the hell are you two? What right do you have to arrest me? Let me go! Let me go!"

Chen Jiao became really anxious. She had finally managed to get into such a high-class place and wanted to find another place to escape her misery as soon as possible, but she never expected to end up like this. How could she have the face to stay in Haicheng after this?

She really couldn't understand what that man was thinking. Shen Yanran was practically a worthless piece of trash, so how could he protect her like a treasure? Was he crazy?

However, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from the bodyguards' restraints. Instead, they completely pulled down her evening gown, which she had specially lowered for Li Zhanting, instantly revealing her cleavage.

The onlookers covered their mouths and laughed, some even taking out their phones to secretly take pictures.

"Ah!" Chen Jiao screamed in fright.

Upon hearing the scream, Shen Yanran instinctively looked up, but the man holding her beside her immediately stopped her with his hand, saying, "Don't look, she deserves it."

Shen Yanran indifferently withdrew her gaze. She didn't care about Chen Jiao's condition; she was only worried about whether this matter would have a negative impact on Li Zhanting. "Why did you suddenly come?"

Li Zhanting reached out and affectionately brushed the stray hairs from Shen Yanran's forehead, saying, "I missed you, so I came."

Shen Yanran's face instantly flushed with two lovely and charming blushes, and even her ears became hot. "You...you stop messing around, I'm talking to you seriously."

"I miss you, that's the most natural thing in the world. Don't you miss me?" Li Zhanting asked in an unusually gentle voice.

Shen Yanran was not good at expressing her feelings, so Li Zhanting's sudden and direct question made her immediately shy and unsure how to answer.

Shen Yanran's face became even more flushed and alluring, which made Li Zhanting's heart itch with desire, and his gaze towards her became even more profound.

He lowered his head slightly and whispered in her delicate, rounded earlobe, "Wife...don't you really miss me?"

Shen Yanran raised her eyes in surprise and immediately looked around. She was very nervous and afraid that someone would hear and find out about their relationship. But seeing Li Zhanting looking at her so affectionately, how could she bear to say no?

She could only blush and nod happily.

The two of them were having a sweet, back-and-forth conversation, completely ignoring everyone else.

Wen Qian was very pleased and happy to see that Li Zhanting and Shen Yanran were in a relationship.

Shen Yanran knew all too well how difficult and challenging her life had been in the past. If Li Zhanting hadn't appeared just now and taught Chen Jiao, that barking rascal, a lesson, things would have been even worse.

Sure enough, Shen Yanran is different when she has a man protecting her. Every little movement of hers carries a hint of happiness. It seems that she can really retire gracefully.

But those unaware of the inside story witnessed all of this, and were nothing short of shocked.

While everyone was speculating about his identity, they were also surprised that the man who had just been as cold-blooded and ruthless as a demon king returning from hell was now as gentle as a prince in front of Shen Yanran.

His every move clearly showed how much he valued Shen Yanran.

Although they were stopped outside by bodyguards and couldn't hear what they were saying, the man's affectionate gaze would captivate any woman, filling her with envy and wishing for a miracle to happen, allowing her to be transported to Shen Yanran's body to truly experience his alluring face, sexy voice, and everything about him...

When Li Zhanting saw Shen Yanran nod, a wicked smile curled at the corners of his sexy lips, and his grip on Shen Yanran's hand tightened unconsciously.

Shen Yanran clearly felt the warmth from the man's hand, which warmed her already cold hands once again. Suddenly, she wanted to go home. "Let's go."

"Don't rush, the game isn't over yet," Li Zhanting said calmly.

After Xu Fan finished dealing with Chen Jiao's matter and returned, she happened to hear what Li Zhanting said. She immediately turned to Sun Peng, who was still on stage, speechless with shock, and said indifferently, "Host, you can continue bidding."

Sun Peng pulled his chin back, swallowed several times, and nervously said, "Um, everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Our charity auction will continue. This gentleman has now donated one yuan to support Miss Shen Yanran. Is there anyone else who wants to bid for Miss Shen Yufei?"

That being said, Sun Peng had already realized that it was impossible for everyone in the banquet hall combined to donate more than 100 million yuan to Shen Yufei.

One hundred million yuan is likely more than some people could earn in a lifetime, let alone donate.

The only person who could still afford this amount of money is Gao Yufeng from the Gao family, but it's unclear whether he'd still be willing to pay it for Shen Yufei.

Shen Yufei clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white as if she were about to bleed. If she could, she would rather go bankrupt than let Shen Yanran stand in front of her and steal the limelight.

What's infuriating is that even if she really risked everything and went bankrupt, it wouldn't be enough to offset that man's casual remark of 100 million.

As for Gao Yufeng, there's no point in even thinking about it. Ten million is already the limit, and one hundred million is almost the entire annual income of the Gao family. He doesn't have the right to use this money now, and he certainly won't donate it all for her.

Shen Yanran must have had incredible luck to meet such a distinguished man. If she had known, she would have aborted the child and not been with Gao Yufeng.

Sun Peng waited on the stage for about thirty seconds. Seeing that the banquet hall was silent and no one was saying a word, he immediately struck the gavel to announce: "Since no one is participating in the bidding, then on behalf of the organizers and the children in the mountain area, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Ms. Shen Yanran, and also to the mysterious gentleman beside you, thank you for your donation!"

Even though Sun Peng had already figured out the true identity of this mysterious man, he didn't dare to reveal it. He still hadn't forgotten the pitiful sight of Chen Jiao, such a delicate woman, being taken away by the bodyguards.

As the host's voice faded, the people in the banquet hall began to applaud and congratulate, and many even held up their wine glasses, trying to get closer to the host.

However, they were all blocked by the bodyguards that Xu Fan had arranged in advance.

Li Zhanting ignored the commotion behind him, feeling only a little regretful that he hadn't heard Shen Yanran play the piano herself. "When we get home, could you play it for me again?"

Shen Yanran smiled faintly, meeting the man's burning gaze. She would be willing to play it a hundred times, let alone once. "Okay, I'll play it as many times as you want to hear it, and I guarantee that the money donated will be well worth the price."
