Chapter 16 The Gloomy CEO Tormented by Insomnia (16)



Shen Zhiyi was kissed unconscious.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on Shang Zeyan's big bed.

She had changed her clothes into soft and comfortable pajamas.

She was slightly taken aback.

Did he change it, or was it the maid?

She turned her head and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

There seemed to be a few suppressed gasps.

Thinking of Shang Zeyan's recent loss of control, her face flushed slightly, and she pulled the blanket over her head.

How can someone be so erotic even when kissing...?

She closed her eyes, intending to play dead.

Today, she pretended to be drunk and tricked him into kissing her.

But once she's "sober" up, she can't openly stay in his bed anymore.

I might as well just pretend to be asleep.

A faint fragrance seemed to waft through the air.

It must have been the butler who prepared the sleep-inducing incense for Shang Zeyan according to her instructions.

Shen Zhiyi closed her eyes, listening to the white noise-like sound of flowing water, and her eyelids gradually became unable to stay open.

In a state of semi-consciousness.

She seemed to hear the sound of flowing water stop, and someone gradually approached, helped her up, and fed her some water.

Then he used his thumb to wipe away the remaining water stains on his lips.

I even rubbed it hard.

Then there was a dent on the other side of the bed, and someone lay down behind her.

A pair of large, hot, and rough hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her into his arms, his chin resting on the top of her head.

A posture that exudes possessiveness.

Shen Zhiyi felt at ease.

His broad chest radiated a continuous stream of heat.

She was so sleepy that her eyelids were too heavy to open under the influence of the sleep-inducing incense. She could only instinctively press them against her back with trust and reliance.

Shang Zeyan's heart skipped a beat.

She seemed to be completely unguarded around him even in her sleep…

He hugged her even tighter.

The scent of sleep-inducing incense mingled with the gardenia fragrance emanating from her, making every pore on his body feel pleasantly open.

Since he started suffering from insomnia, he has tried all sorts of sleep aids.

I've tried many different kinds of sleep-inducing incense.

None of them worked.

But today, I find it particularly useful.

He knew it wasn't because of any sleep-inducing incense.

It's not because of the person in my arms, but because of the person in my arms.

Because of his understanding.

His presence made him feel exceptionally at ease.

At that moment, he despised his own wickedness and deliberately brought her back to his room, lighting incense to make her sleepy, just so he could keep her there for the whole night.

In order to hold her intimately like this, to possess her completely.

She's so sweet.

It's really soft.

Shang Zeyan thought of the unrestrained kiss he had just shared.

Thinking of how she was teased by him, her face flushed and her eyes filled with a thin layer of mist, his breathing became even heavier.

And then he was relieved that he had been so bad.

He thought, how could someone be so wicked, so wicked that even though he could have pursued her openly and honestly, he couldn't wait to get through the times without her and instead used such a shady way to keep her by his side.

He is an absolutely terrible person.

But Yi said she wanted to kiss him.

Kiss someone as despicable and dark as him.

Shang Zeyan's heart felt like it was being soaked in warm, swollen honey water, but he would occasionally prick it with a sharp needle to remind himself to leave some room for maneuver and not scare her away.

Shang Zeyan held her in his arms.

I could smell her scent.

The first time, I didn't need to rely on any means; I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Xiaolian returned to her rented room in a disheveled state.

But then I ran into a familiar figure downstairs in the apartment complex.

"You brat, why are you only just getting back!"

It was her gambling father!

Ji Xiaolian turned and ran, but was caught red-handed by the man who rushed up.

"Let me go! Let me go!"

She kicked and thrashed with both hands and feet.

After being scratched on the face, Ji's father simply slapped her and pinned her to the ground.

"You've gone too far!"

"Why are you running when you see me?!" he roared.

Ji Xiaolian fell to the ground, covered her cheeks, and began to cry softly.

She had just been hit by Bai Fengyu and barely recovered when her father hit her on the other side!

How could she be so miserable!

"What do you want from me?" Ji Xiaolian cried out, shrinking back. "I can't even afford my own tuition right now, I have no money to give you!"

"No money?" Mr. Ji pointed at her jewel-encrusted evening gown. "You're dressed like that and you're telling me you have no money?!"

"Hand over the money!"

He threatened menacingly, "Otherwise, I'll make a scene at your school tomorrow!"

"Let the whole school know that you're an ungrateful wretch! You don't even care about your own father!"

"Don't go, don't go..." Ji Xiaolian cried, clinging to his leg.

"I really have no money left."

"If you take away my little savings, I won't be able to eat, and I won't be able to pay next month's rent."

Because she worked part-time as a hostess, she was always out early and back late, which caused her to not get along with her roommates, so she moved out early.

If she can't afford the rent, she'll have nowhere to go.

"Father, have pity on me, don't treat me like this... You're my father!"

But Ji's father's eyes lit up.

"I knew you had savings! Good daughter, quick, give me the money!"

"I promise, if we win this round, I'll treat you to all sorts of delicious food and pay your rent for the whole year!"

His eyes gleamed green.

Ji Xiaolian was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

She bit her lip in regret.

How could I have been so foolish as to reveal all my last bit of money!
