Chapter 3: The Gloomy Overlord Suffering from Insomnia (3) (2/2)



Ji Xiaolian lowered her head.

His eyes flashed.

She remembered that in her previous life, when Shang Zeyan took her out, she met Bai Fengyu who had just arrived at the elevator.

He also teased himself a few times.

As a result, he was almost beaten by Shang Zeyan.

She had been hiding for so long and hadn't seen Shang Zeyan, and his friends were about to leave...

Would he have died long ago?

Ji Xiaolian narrowed her eyes, turned around and ran towards the elevator.

*

Box 888.

Shen Zhiyi put down the microphone.

He walked to the single sofa and stared at Shang Zeyan's sleeping profile.

He has very fair skin.

However, due to years of insomnia, there are faint dark circles under his eyes.

But even if I fell asleep.

His facial features are still handsome and profound.

Quite impactful.

He placed one hand on the armrest, his fingertips slightly curled, as if he wanted to grab something even in his sleep.

I feel so restless even when I fall asleep...

Shen Zhiyi leaned forward.

Her fingertips lightly touched his frowning brows.

The faint scent of gardenia lingers on the tip of my nose.

Shang Zeyan's sharp brows relaxed, and even his tightly pursed thin lips loosened a little.

Shen Zhiyi curved his lips.

Thinking of the information given by the system, his eyes dimmed slightly.

Shang Zeyan lost his father at a young age.

After my father got married, he was on business trips all year round.

Don't care about him.

The stepmother appeared to be taking good care of Shang Zeyan, but secretly, she abused him mentally and pretended to be kind in front of outsiders.

Only Shang Zeyan knew how terrifying she was.

For example, when he was nine years old, his stepmother used the excuse of asking Shang Zeyan to go to the attic to help her find tools, but ended up locking him up on purpose.

The attic was dark and stuffy, and full of mosquitoes.

Shang Zeyan was locked up inside and bitten until there was not a single piece of flesh left on his body. Finally, he fainted from hunger and dehydration due to the scorching heat. Only then did his stepmother pretend to come to "save him".

He found out later.

Originally, there were no insects or ants in the attic.

It was his stepmother who had sent the servants away in advance and moved in several pots of rotten flowers. This caused the rotten roots to attract mosquitoes, which bit him and made him allergic.

Later, the housekeeper came and pried open the lock that had been broken long ago, and then sent the unconscious Shang Zeyan to the hospital.

The stepmother pretended to be guilty.

As a result, not only did his father not blame her, he also gave her a lot of luxury goods, saying it was a consolation and compensation.

Shang Zeyan was too angry.

After she fell ill, she deliberately cut her most expensive skirt in revenge.

But not only was she not angry, she also helped him organize a grand birthday party.

Shang Zeyan was stunned.

But before he could reflect on himself, his stepmother exposed his "evil deeds" in front of many guests at his birthday party and fabricated many false facts to frame him.

Where had Shang Zeyan, who was only nine years old, ever seen such a trick?

He immediately lost control of his emotions and scared the guests.

Later, both his peers and elders in the family began to isolate and fear him.

There are so many things like this.

So many that Shang Zeyan himself began to doubt it.

Is there really something wrong with him?

Is he born bad?

Is it impossible to accept the intentions of the stepmother, who always deliberately distorts her thoughts and speculates about her darkest thoughts?

It was not until his father passed away and his stepmother got most of the company's shares that Shang Zeyan saw her true colors.

But he had already grown up in extreme anxiety and uneasiness.

He also suffered from insomnia which was difficult to cure.

People who lack sleep for a long time are irritable, easily angered, and out of control... Their emotions are easily ignited, and they do things that ordinary people cannot understand.

But Shen Zhiyi understood him.

For someone so young, being forced to grow up alone and without any help, life was extremely difficult from the very beginning.

What's more, he relied on his own efforts to seize most of the company's shares.

To gain the trust of the board of directors, survive the brutal infighting within the group, and fight to reach his current position, he must have suppressed his emotions and needs.

Shen Zhiyi looked at his face.

A surge of heartache came over me for no reason.

She reached out and picked up the sofa blanket beside her and gently covered him with it.

The fingertips were about to leave.

But he was suddenly grabbed by a pair of big hands.
