The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Shen Yanran froze for a moment, a cold glint appearing in her eyes. "It's none of your business."

Li Zhanting could tell at a glance that Shen Yanran's injuries were caused by a man. Hearing her tone of voice, he naturally thought of a possibility: "Your fiancé did this?"

Shen Yanran felt disgusted and nauseous whenever she thought about what Gao Yufeng had done to her, and she even felt a bit disgusted with Li Zhanting as a result.

There is nothing good about men!

"I told you it's none of your business, why ask so many questions? I'm going back to my room." Shen Yanran struggled forcefully to break free from Li Zhanting's grasp.

"I saved your life, so tell me whether it's my business or not." A meaningful glint was hidden in Li Zhanting's deep eyes.

Shen Yanran paused. Yes, how could she forget that she still owed that thug a life-saving debt? So she helplessly rubbed her forehead and said, "How about this, give me your contact information, and I'll pay you back after I'm discharged from the hospital."

"Are you so eager to sever ties with me?" Li Zhanting's sharp, hawk-like eyes were cold and clear.

You know, he's never short of women around him, but she's the first one who's tried so hard to avoid him, which naturally piqued his interest. Not to mention, her pure and innocent scent is something he still can't forget.

"We never really had any relationship, so there's no question of severing ties. I will repay your life-saving grace, but I'm really tired right now. Could you please move aside? I want to rest." Shen Yanran felt utterly exhausted and needed a good rest.

“Okay, I’ll take you back,” Li Zhanting said very gentlemanly.

Shen Yanran sighed helplessly, "Do as you please."

Shen Yanran went straight to bed to rest after returning to the ward, ignoring what Li Zhanting was doing behind her.

But she remained on edge, wary of the man's every move, given how terrible he had been to her before; she had to be careful.

However, Shen Yanran waited for a long time, and was almost falling asleep when she thought he had gotten bored and left. But suddenly her face turned icy cold.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and a handsome man's face appeared before her, very close.

"You..." Shen Yanran's lips had barely parted when Li Zhanting placed a long, slender finger on them and said softly, "Don't speak. Your face is very swollen. You need to apply ice."

The man's unusually gentle actions left Shen Yanran somewhat flustered. Her face flushed slightly, and she nodded.

The ice pack melted little by little on her face, and her fair and tender skin gradually returned to its original state.

Li Zhanting put the ice pack aside, then picked up a tube of high-quality anti-swelling ointment, squeezed it onto his finger, and was about to apply it to Shen Yanran's injured area when she gently dodged it.

Shen Yanran didn't like interacting with strangers, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Thank you, I can handle the rest myself."

She could ignore the ice pack in front of her, but now that this man was going to apply the medicine directly to her with his hands, she had to refuse, just in case.

Li Zhanting seemed to see right through her thoughts. A slight smile played on his lips as he asked in a deep, seductive voice, "Are you scared... or shy?"

Of course I'm scared!

She hadn't forgotten what had happened between the two of them.

But she couldn't say it; if she did, she might upset him and she would be the one to suffer.

But she couldn't admit it was shyness, so she remained silent...

"Not going to speak? Fine, I have plenty of ways to make you talk." A deep, unfathomable light shone in Li Zhanting's dark eyes.

Shen Yanran frowned in confusion. What did that mean?

Li Zhanting, his long, slender fingers covered in anti-swelling ointment, vigorously applied it to Shen Yanran's injured cheek while raising his elegant and beautiful face. "I was going to let you off the hook since you were sick, but now I need to collect some interest in advance."

Interest?

What interest rate?

Before Shen Yanran could figure out what was going on, Li Zhanting's lips were already pressed against hers. She instinctively tried to dodge, but the man's hand didn't give her any chance to escape.

Li Zhanting's kiss landed, passionate and domineering. He cupped Shen Yanran's face in his hands, preventing her from moving, completely disregarding her feelings. He forcefully and directly sucked at her sweetness, as if retaliating against her avoidance.

Shen Yanran felt her heart race and struggled even more fiercely, "Ugh...you...ugh...let go..."
