Chapter 4: The Gloomy Overlord Suffering from Insomnia (4) (1/2)



Shang Zeyan opened his eyes.

After seeing Shen Zhiyi, the sharpness in his eyes faded.

It’s her…

He turned his head and looked, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

Still in the clubhouse.

He... fell asleep? !

Shang Zeyan raised his hand in disbelief and looked at his watch.

I slept for two hours!

When I was alone with a strange woman!

Shang Zeyan stood up in shock.

This has never happened before.

His insomnia was so severe that most medications were ineffective.

But this thoughtful woman just sang a song, and he fell asleep?

Shang Zeyan was shocked.

I unconsciously put more strength on my hands.

"Boss Shang, you hurt me."

Shen Zhiyi pulled his hand away.

Only then did Shang Zeyan realize that he had been holding her.

He let go of his hand.

His palms seemed to still retain the warmth of her skin, which made his heart beat faster unconsciously.

He held his chest and frowned.

This feeling...

It’s the first time.

Shang Zeyan paused and looked up.

"Miss Shen, are you interested in quitting your job here and working as a sleep aid in my villa?"

"Sleep aid?" Shen Zhiyi pretended to be confused.

Shang Zeyan nodded.

"I suffer from severe insomnia, but Miss Shen's singing has a hypnotic effect on me. So..."

"Did I sing too badly?"

Shen Zhiyi was slightly embarrassed.

When Shang Zeyan saw her drooping brows, his heart ached and he couldn't help but explain to her.

"No."

"You sing beautifully."

"It's your voice that makes me feel at ease."

Shen Zhiyi’s face flushed slightly.

"But I don't know how to help me sleep..."

"Maybe Mr. Shang fell asleep today because of another person, and it has nothing to do with me."

Shang Zeyan looked at her shy appearance and inexplicably felt an urge to hold her in his arms.

He curled his fingertips.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "Whether it's for you or not, I want to ask Miss Shen to try."

"Telling stories, singing, or anything else, as long as it can make me fall asleep, the salary is not a problem."

"It must be much more than what Miss Shen earns here."

Afraid that she would refuse, he said:

"You don't feel any pressure."

"I've been trying to treat my insomnia for years with no results. Coming to you is just a last-ditch effort. Even if it doesn't work in the end, I'll still pay Miss Shen her salary."

"Just think of it as a good way to earn extra money."

"Thirty million a year, huh?"

He looked at her quietly.

I can't deny that I have other thoughts about her.

But, you can't expose yourself too quickly.

That would definitely...scare her.

Shang Zeyan's eyes darkened.

Let her stay by his side for a year first, and he will find a way for the rest of the time.

"Tuo."

Shen Zhiyi agreed without much thought.

She had come for him.

"Then let's go now." Shang Zeyan stood up and suppressed the surging joy in his chest.

He couldn't wait to take her back to his territory.

There, there will be only him and her...

He looked at Shen Zhiyi, his dark pupils filled with dark possession.

Ji Xiaolian was lingering stealthily near the elevator.

Instead of waiting for Bai Fengyu, a familiar figure appeared.

If it is business, then have a banquet!

He came towards me, his long legs wrapped in suit trousers particularly eye-catching.

Ji Xiaolian was so frightened that her face turned pale. She quickly lowered her head and hid behind a guest who was waiting for the elevator.

I prayed in my heart that Shang Zeyan would never see her.

He didn't notice at all that Shen Zhiyi was blocked by Shang Zeyan's tall body.

“Hmm…”
