The mysterious CEO's endless pampering

The sudden warmth melted away the ice in Shen Yanran's heart, which had been frozen.

She was stunned for a few seconds, and after a while, she slowly came to her senses. She saw the man's long arms domineeringly encircling her completely in his embrace, and his gaze as he looked down at her contained a mixture of dissatisfaction and reproach, but also a hint of tenderness that was hard to define...

His low, rebuking words sounded like he was angry and venting his dissatisfaction, but Shen Yanran truly felt a different kind of emotion that belonged only to her.

This man is jealous of her...

Thinking about this feeling, Shen Yanran's mood improved considerably, and she could even joke with him, saying, "Tell me how upset you are."

When the woman's eyes were completely fixed on him, Li Zhanting's previously gloomy face instantly vanished, and his sexy, thin lips curved into a beautiful smile. He asked in an extremely deep and charming voice, "Are you sure you want to hear this?"

Shen Yanran was certain that Li Zhanting, this domineering man, wouldn't easily admit to being jealous, so she wanted to hear what he had to say. "Of course, go ahead and say it."

"Okay, I'll tell you everything without missing a single word." Li Zhanting smiled wickedly.

Shen Yanran smiled slightly, "I'm all ears."

Before she could finish speaking, the man's noble yet devilishly handsome face gradually loomed larger before her eyes.

Her lips, which hadn't even had a chance to close, were completely enveloped by his hot breath.

A deep kiss, delivered without warning, landed squarely on Shen Yanran's trembling lips.

It felt like an eternity before Li Zhanting finally released Shen Yanran with a satisfied expression.

Shen Yanran was once again panting heavily, as if she had just run an 800-meter race, her heart pounding in her chest.

Li Zhanting, satisfied, slightly revealed a nimble tongue and licked his lips, which were full of ambiguity. "So, are you satisfied with my answer?"

Shen Yanran's fair and delicate face was flushed, and her clear and bright eyes glared at the man in front of her who had "successfully plotted," and she said coquettishly, "You rascal."

Li Zhanting never considered Shen Yanran's name as an insult; instead, he regarded it as an intimate nickname unique to the two of them, and he was always happy to hear it.

"If I'm a rogue, then what are you, a rogue's wife?" Li Zhanting said with a particularly happy laugh.

"Boring." Shen Yanran would never admit that she was a rogue's wife.

"How am I bored?"

"What do you say?"

"I don't know, please enlighten me, Madam..."

I want to kick you!

As Shen Yanran spoke, she pretended to kick Li Zhanting.

But Li Zhanting showed no intention of dodging; he simply looked at Shen Yanran, who was playing with him like a child, with a doting expression.

However, Gao Yufeng on the second floor witnessed their happy and joyful scene.

Shen Yufei was enjoying her meal when she suddenly noticed Gao Yufeng sitting motionless across from her. She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother Feng, why aren't you eating?"

Gao Yufeng was probably too focused on the happy couple downstairs, and for a moment he didn't hear Shen Yufei talking to him.

Shen Yufei seemed to guess the reason in an instant and quickly followed his gaze.

It was indeed because of Shen Yanran.

And then there's the mysterious man beside her who drives her to the brink of madness with jealousy.

"It's my sister!" Shen Yufei pretended to have just discovered it, her charming face showing both surprise and joy. "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that I ran into my sister here again. Brother Feng, do you think we should go over and say hello, and invite her over for dinner?"

Finally hearing Shen Yufei's voice, Gao Yufeng finally snapped out of his daze, a few complex emotions flashing across his handsome face...

He was certain that Shen Yanran had seen him, but she no longer had the love and anticipation she once had; only indifference remained on her face.

Just like they said on the day they broke up, there was no longer any connection between them, and even if they met again, they would be worse than strangers.

This was a completely different feeling from the relief he had felt before; it was as if something missing deep within him could never be found again.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any information about the mysterious man beside her, as if this person didn't exist at all.

Seeing that Gao Yufeng didn't reply, Shen Yufei couldn't help but call out to him sweetly again, "Brother Feng?"

Gao Yufeng finally shook his head completely. "Forget it, Yanran doesn't like seeing us, so let's not bother her."

Having learned from her previous failures, Shen Yufei was naturally not going to provoke Shen Yanran again, especially since that mysterious and noble man was right beside her; she wouldn't want to make a fool of herself this time.

She just wanted to maintain her innocent and kind appearance in front of Gao Yufeng.

“But Brother Feng, I’m still worried about my sister being with that man of unknown origin. Even though she generously donated 100 million at the last charity gala, so many dignitaries from the political and business worlds were there, but none of them recognized him. Don’t you find that strange?”

Strange, of course it's strange. Gao Yufeng found it so strange that he spared no expense in investigating his identity.

But so far, we have gained nothing.

"I find it strange, but what can I do? She simply doesn't listen to me." Gao Yufeng felt inexplicably annoyed whenever he thought about how he was no longer important to Shen Yanran.

"My sister is a bit stubborn, but she's very filial to her elders. I recently heard from my mom that she's found her a good marriage prospect, a well-known wealthy man. He's definitely much better than that unknown man she's with. And next Monday is Grandpa's birthday. He misses her a lot, and I don't want to disappoint him because of us. I'll beg you to bring my sister back today!" Shen Yufei finished speaking and chased after Shen Yanran downstairs in just two seconds, as if afraid she would run away.

Meanwhile, after playing around with Li Zhanting, Shen Yanran said breathlessly, "Okay, I'm not messing around with you anymore. Let's go and eat somewhere else."

Li Zhanting grabbed Shen Yanran's hand as she tried to leave and asked in a deep voice, "Weren't you hungry? Why do you want to go somewhere else?"

"I've seen people who disgust me, I have no appetite, let's go." Just thinking about eating under the same roof with those two people made Shen Yanran feel uncomfortable, even breathing the air made her uncomfortable.

A sharp glint appeared in Li Zhanting's deep, dark eyes. "Even if they want to leave, let them leave."

Shen Yanran opened her mouth slightly, about to speak, when she was stopped by a gentle yet urgent voice, "Sister, wait for me, I have something to tell you."

Shen Yanran frowned slightly. She really wondered if Shen Yufei was a little dim-witted, why was she so willing to pester her endlessly!

However, Shen Yanran didn't have the time to put on a show of sisterly affection with her. She was really hungry and just wanted to have a quiet meal.

But Shen Yufei ran up to her excitedly and said, "Sister, I'm begging you, please go see Grandpa and Grandma. They've really missed you while you were away from home, but you didn't answer the phone or reply to your texts. Grandpa and Grandma have shed countless tears for you. Please have pity on them and come home with me, okay?"

Do her grandparents miss her?

She might believe it if her grandfather missed her, but as for her arrogant grandmother, she probably wouldn't miss anyone else.

Shen Yanran originally planned to ignore them and leave, but when she heard Shen Yufei bring up the elders in her family, she had no choice but to turn around and say coldly and sarcastically, "What, now that you've found that those vicious and despicable rumors have no effect on me, you want to start spreading rumors that I'm unfilial?"

"No, sister, why are you saying that? I've never said a bad word about you. I've explained to you countless times that those rumors are false, but they just won't believe me. There's nothing I can do. Besides, Grandpa and Grandma really miss you. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Feng." Shen Yufei looked like she had suffered a great injustice and quickly turned to Gao Yufeng for help.

Gao Yufeng had just chased after her out of the restaurant when he saw Shen Yufei looking at him with a wronged expression on her delicate and beautiful face, which was in stark contrast to Shen Yanran standing opposite her with an indifferent and sarcastic look.

Gao Yufeng pulled Shen Yufei into his arms with a pained expression and asked softly, "Feifei, what's wrong?"

Shen Yufei leaned weakly on Gao Yufeng's shoulder, biting her full red lips, and said with a slight sob, "I'm fine, Brother Feng. My sister misunderstood me. She thought I was lying to her when I said Grandpa and Grandma missed her, but I didn't. I really didn't. Actually, it's not just Grandpa and Grandma, but also Mom and Dad. Our whole family wants her to come home, but she just won't believe me. Brother Feng, please help me persuade my sister, okay?"

Gao Yufeng had indeed heard the Shen family mention Shen Yanran's name quite often these past two days, so he naturally believed Shen Yufei's words. However, judging from Shen Yanran's expression, she clearly didn't believe it, so he spoke up to explain on Shen Yufei's behalf: "Yanran, what Feifei said is true. Your grandparents have been wanting you to go back and see them. Several times they've asked me and Feifei why you don't come home. I just said you're busy with work, so don't disappoint them. Come back with us."

"You talk too much nonsense." Li Zhanting, who had been standing silently beside Shen Yanran for a long time, snorted coldly.

Shen Yanran never expected that she and Li Zhanting were so in sync, because that was originally what she wanted to say to Gao Yufeng.

However, since Li Zhanting had already spoken up for her, she didn't need to waste her breath on that scumbag.

Now, she not only finds it disgusting to breathe under the same sky as him, but even speaking a single word to him feels like an insult...
