Series: After Becoming a Cannon Fodder, I Bent the Villainous CEO

“Are you sure?” Duan Yang’s face was clouded with anger in the break room. Yu Lin didn’t look much better. “Yes. The old man met with Lawyer Chen for a long time yesterday, and then Ling Sicheng showed up at the hospital last night. It’s definitely not a coincidence.” “I told you that guy is…

The elders kept a regular schedule, and after lunch, they took a short nap, so Shen Yan and the others didn’t linger and bid farewell after the meal. The grandmother warmly escorted them to the door, reluctant to let go of Shen Yan’s hand. “Yanyan, you have to come and play often! Grandma can make…

It was clearly abnormal for Su Yunzhe to suddenly take such an interest in Shen Yan’s affairs, especially since he had previously shown a nonchalant attitude. The key was that Shen Yan didn’t dare to let him help. If Su Yunzhe genuinely assisted him, he would inevitably need to find out who Shen Yan was…

Shen Yan originally thought the afternoon would feel long, as he couldn’t imagine how the two of them would pass the time in this 20-square-meter space, excluding the bedroom. However, when he finally looked up from his phone, the room was nearly dark, and it was almost six o’clock. He turned to look at Su…

Shen Yan couldn’t imagine a more awkward situation than the one he was currently in. Now here he was, sitting in a bustling food market, drinking beer and eating skewers with Su Yunzhe and Qin Mofeng. Of course, the beer and skewers part wasn’t bad—just the company. Truthfully, the moment he saw Su Yunzhe, he…

Shen Yan: “…” He suspected he’d misheard but saw Su Yunzhe looking at him with a smile, an expectant glint in his deep eyes. Somehow, Shen Yan felt a little self-conscious. He awkwardly brushed his hair aside and changed the topic, saying, “Since we’ve got nothing to do right now, why don’t you show me…

Waking up hungover was the worst. Shen Yan groaned as he sat up in bed, clutching his pounding head. After a few moments, he blinked at the view outside the window: an endless stretch of ocean, which slowly reminded him of where he was. Then bits of last night’s memory started coming back, though hazily.…

After Shen Yan finished speaking, Su Yunzhe remained silent, simply staring at him with an unreadable gaze. Feeling uncertain about Su Yunzhe’s thoughts and worried he wasn’t ready to let go of last night’s events, Shen Yan tried cautiously to pull his hand away from Su Yunzhe’s grasp. To his surprise, Su Yunzhe didn’t stop…

The days that followed were peaceful. The troubles Shen Yan had been worrying about didn’t happen. Shen Jiaqi hadn’t sought him out, Duan Yang hadn’t appeared, and it seemed his identity still hadn’t been exposed on Duan Yang’s side. Moreover, Su Yunzhe also hadn’t reached out to him. Oddly enough, Su Yunzhe’s lack of contact…

Shen Yan couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated. So, this guy, Su Yunzhe, had shown up in the middle of the night, startling him, just to discuss something as absurd as this? He had bought a cup of brown sugar water, handed it over so earnestly, and then asked, with an innocent expression, if…

Shen Yan didn’t sleep well that night. The mattress, without proper bedding, was too hard, making it impossible to get comfortable. Worse, just a door away, he could clearly sense someone else was awake. Although Su Yunzhe tried to move as quietly as possible, the novelty of having someone else stay over amplified Shen Yan’s…

After stepping briskly out of the restaurant, Shen Yan finally exhaled deeply, feeling as if a weight had been lifted. He knew he had no right to chastise Qin Mofeng, yet he couldn’t help himself. When Qin Mofeng had described feeling “disgusted,” Shen Yan couldn’t quite explain the surge of emotions that had overwhelmed him.…

Lawyer Zhou had already left. Shen Yan told him he wanted to stay a bit longer, but he ended up sitting there until nightfall. The avalanche of information that afternoon was overwhelming; he needed time to process it all. He realized he had no memories of the original Shen Yan’s mother, not even her name.…

Su Yunzhe’s hand resting on Shen Yan’s waist paused slightly before he tightened his embrace around him. He didn’t say anything. He knew that at this moment, any comforting words would feel hollow to Shen Yan. Indeed, for Shen Yan right now, empty words of consolation couldn’t compare to giving him an outlet to release…

Su Yunzhe regretted it. He had overestimated his self-control, forgetting that in front of Shen Yan, his composure was always easily lost and tossed to the dogs. Seeing Shen Yan’s dazed, delicate appearance at that moment, he felt his mouth dry, and suddenly he didn’t want to go to the company anymore. He wanted to…

Shen Yan hadn’t finished his sentence when his wrist was suddenly grabbed, startling him so much that he turned and ran. However, the person had a strong grip, pulling him back with force. The voice, gritted with anger, said, “You still want to run?” Shen Yan, struggling with all his might, suddenly froze, looking up…

Su Yunzhe’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly as he realized his strategy had backfired. He had thought it would be easy to get a drunk person to talk, but he had forgotten that a tipsy “kitten” could be dangerously tempting. He had probably lost control himself. He rubbed his forehead in frustration, forcing himself to keep…

On the way back to H City in the afternoon, Shen Yan couldn’t help but glance back at the large bouquet of roses on the back seat and laugh. Su Yunzhe rubbed his temples helplessly. “Stop laughing, okay? I was just following what they said online.” Shen Yan burst into laughter. “You actually went online…

Shen Yan took the rice ball and took a bite. It had a salted duck egg yolk filling, his favorite flavor. He couldn’t help but smile, thinking that his double standards were justified. Would that scumbag Duan Yang queue up to buy rice balls for him? Ha, even if he did, Shen Yan knew he…

Early morning, light rain. Xiyuan Cemetery. Ling Sicheng stood with an umbrella in front of a very ordinary gravestone, staring at the photo on it. The woman in the photo was young and beautiful, her smile as comforting as his own. After a long while, he bent down and placed a small daisy on the…
