The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

Is it good value for money?

Li Zhanting seemed to be able to immediately imagine Shen Yanran playing the piano for him, a scene that would be melodious and beautiful, a rare sight in the world.

Unfortunately, this romantic and wonderful moment wasn't the first time Shen Yanran showed it to him; instead, it was the sycophants present who benefited from it.

As the melodious sound of violins filled the air, the banquet drew to a close, and those who had been watching Li Zhanting but could not get close shook their heads and sighed as they silently left.

Shen Yanran didn't attend this banquet today to show off or anything. Anyway, everything that should and shouldn't have been done has been done, and it's time for her to leave.

She just didn't know why she suddenly felt like someone was watching her from behind.

He subconsciously turned around and saw Shen Yufei's cold and vicious gaze.

Li Zhanting was standing right next to him, so he naturally felt the gaze. He turned his head slightly, and his cold, clear eyes swept over him.

Shen Yufei was surprised that Li Zhanting would look up at her at this moment. She quickly withdrew her resentful gaze, put on a pitiful look, and even shed some crystal-clear tears, giving people a feeling of pity.

Shen Yanran has always felt inferior to Shen Yufei's ability to change her expression so quickly. No wonder she eventually chose to enter the entertainment industry as an actress; she's simply a born actress.

She knew very well that Shen Yufei's expression was because of Li Zhanting, who was beside her.

She had used such tactics countless times in the Shen family and in front of Gao Yufeng, and she had suffered countless hidden losses as a result.

At that time, she thought Gao Yufeng was just being deceived by her ability to change her tune. It wasn't until the kidnapping incident that she truly understood: Gao Yufeng wasn't being deceived; he had simply accepted from the bottom of his heart that Shen Yufei was always right, and she, Shen Yanran, was always wrong...

"Damn, Shen Yufei is really persistent. Even after losing so badly, she still dares to look at you like that. Does she not know what death means?" Wen Qian frowned and said disdainfully.

Shen Yanran never thought that Shen Yufei had fought for anything, but she seemed to really enjoy taking things from her. Before, when she was in the Shen family, it was just some toys and clothes, and later it was her family and friends.

Now, the only one who still believes in and supports her is Wen Qian, so she cherishes and cares for Wen Qian, not wanting her to always worry about her and Shen Yufei. "Wen Qian, don't pay attention to her, it's bad for your eyes to look at her too much."

"Really, Yanran, only you have such a good temper, putting up with her until now. If it were me, I would have fought her to the death long ago. All these years, it's because she spread rumors about you that your reputation has fallen to this state. Otherwise, Chen Jiao, that snobbish woman, wouldn't have said such nasty things." Wen Qian became angrier as she spoke, but she couldn't say too much in front of Li Zhanting, for fear of affecting their relationship.

This wasn't the first time Li Zhanting had heard about Shen Yanran's bad reputation. He had heard about it from Xie Tingrui at a bar and had Xu Fan investigate it secretly.

However, so many years have passed, making it difficult to trace the source.

That's how rumors spread; one person tells ten, ten tell a hundred, and nobody can say for sure who started it first.

Of course, he had suspected Shen Yufei, but he hadn't found any solid evidence in a short time. He never expected to run into a woman who spoke so many bad things about his wife today.

"Why don't you explain?" Li Zhanting asked Shen Yanran in a deep voice, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

Shen Yanran silently raised her head to look at him and asked calmly, "Explain what?"

“Explain that you are not the kind of woman they are spreading rumors about.” Li Zhanting’s heart has always been cold and hard, but for Shen Yanran, his heart can become exceptionally soft.

A cold smile gradually crept onto Shen Yanxiu's serene face. "To be honest, I don't know how many times I've explained myself, how many times I've tried to prove it, but apart from Wen Qian, no one has believed me, not even my family. It's as if they all witnessed the despicable things I did and are convinced the rumors are true. In the end, I got too tired to explain anymore. But I never expected Chen Jiao to bring it up again in public today..."

Chen Jiao was Shen Yufei's college classmate, and they seemed to be very close. She often visited the Shen family home, and over time, they naturally got to know each other. However, it is unknown what Shen Yufei said to Chen Jiao back then, as the way she looked at her always revealed a strange feeling.

Only today, after hearing what Chen Jiao said, did she finally understand what Shen Yufei had told her.

As the saying goes, "Disaster comes from the mouth," and Chen Jiao's current predicament is entirely her own doing. She has no one to blame but herself...

Although Shen Yanran spoke casually, Li Zhanting felt very uncomfortable. His dark and deep eyes were filled with murderous intent. "She is not the only one who can spread rumors. It is also commonplace for me, and there is no chance for her to recover."

Shen Yanran believed that Li Zhanting had the ability and would keep his word, but she didn't want to trouble Li Zhanting because of a woman like Shen Yufei. "She's not worth your personal intervention. I have too many things to resolve between us. I'll handle it myself."

“Alright, but I hope that no matter what happens, you can tell me and not face it alone. No matter what happens, I will always be there to support you.” Li Zhanting said solemnly to Shen Yanran.

"So, you donated a hundred million today just to back me up?" Shen Yanran knew Li Zhanting was rich, but she couldn't help but be shocked by his extravagant gesture. "Isn't that too much?"

Li Zhanting, however, didn't seem to care and said calmly, "I'm willing to spend any amount of money for my wife. Let alone a hundred million, I'm willing to spend a billion as long as you're happy."

Shen Yanran never imagined that one day a man would spend a hundred million yuan just to make her happy.

The two were engrossed in their conversation, completely oblivious to Shen Yufei not far away, not even sparing her a glance.

Shen Yufei almost ground her teeth to powder, and once again cast a venomous and sinister glance at Shen Yanran.

If looks could kill, Shen Yanran would have died at least a hundred times over by now!

Originally, under Chen Jiao's instigation, she could have defeated Shen Yanran with an absolute advantage, making her fall into the bottom of all the minor illnesses and be trampled under her feet, never to rise again.

But at the most crucial moment, the mysterious man reappeared, instantly rendering her lead worthless and shocking the entire city with his actions.

A hundred million yuan—just hearing about it makes people envious, but it belongs to that bitch Shen Yanran. How can she swallow this insult?

And who exactly is that mysterious man? How can he be so rich? He can casually say a hundred million, so his net worth must be over a billion or even tens of billions!

Gao Yufeng, who was standing next to her, was also so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

No wonder he couldn't find out the man's identity no matter how many people he sent to investigate.

A man who casually talks about a hundred million must be extremely wealthy and powerful. Even if he really wants revenge, he'll have to reconsider.

But seeing Shen Yanran nestled beside that man again, looking so happy and sweet, made him feel as if something was blocking his heart, making him incredibly annoyed.

Moreover, this was the first time he had ever seen Shen Yanran so beautiful and charming. If she had dressed like this before, he would not have turned his attention to her younger sister, Shen Yufei.

Even if he wanted to back out now, it seemed impossible. In her eyes, he was still a sinner and had lost the right to be with her.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a pang of regret for his decision. If only the kidnapping hadn't happened...

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world, and no "what ifs".

Just like Shen Yanran now, she is like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Without experiencing those numbing and chilling things, she would not have had the chance to meet Li Zhanting, let alone marry him.

If she was unfortunate when she was kidnapped, then from the moment Li Zhanting rescued her, she was luckier and happier than anyone else.

Li Zhanting glanced down at the time on his watch; he had interrupted his company meeting to rush here.

Shen Yanran noticed his actions. "Is it because of me that I've delayed your work? You should go back now. I'm not worried."

"No need, I'll take you home first." Right now, nothing is more important to Li Zhanting than his wife.

"I'm not a child anymore, why do you need to take me home?" Shen Yanran chuckled softly, then added, "I have to talk to Wenqian about something later, so I'm not in a hurry to go back. If you're really worried, you can leave two of your bodyguards to wait for me."

Li Zhanting thought for a moment. He knew that the company couldn't function without him, but he was really worried about leaving Shen Yanran and Wen Qian there. So he raised his hand to signal.

Soon, He Shan, who had been secretly protecting Shen Yanran, came out from among the bodyguards. "Boss, what are your orders?"

"You stay here to protect her and Miss Wen. Remember to report to me immediately if anything happens," Li Zhanting ordered in a cold voice with a stern face.

"Yes, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." He Shan bowed slightly with his hands at his sides, speaking in a very serious tone.

After saying that, Li Zhanting turned back to Shen Yanran and gently instructed her, "Don't chat too late, go home early, okay?"

Shen Yanran nodded obediently, "Okay, I understand, don't worry."

"Hmm." Li Zhanting responded softly, then looked at Shen Yanran for several more times before reluctantly leaving.

However, not long after Li Zhanting left, Shen Yufei, who had been eyeing them warily, walked over arm in arm with Gao Yufeng. "Sister, you were so impressive just now..."
