The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Lu Tianming led Mu Ziyan into the magnificent hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on this pair of handsome men and beautiful women. Especially Mu Ziyan, her beauty was as bright as the stars, which made people fascinated. Tan Yichen's deep eyes fell on Mu Ziyan, who was full of happy smiles, and his hands made a slight creaking sound because of his tight grip. Xing Feng noticed his restlessness and hurriedly advised: "Brother, please don't act rashly. I will choose the right time to take Sister Yan out. Don't be impatient." Hearing this, Tan Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and turned away.

Mu Ziyan naturally took Lu Tianming's arm and toasted with the guests. Although she was not good with alcohol, she was particularly resistant to the smell of alcohol tonight. She found an excuse and hid in a secret corner, fearing that her temporary absence would be discovered.

Suddenly, Tan Yichen's voice rang out sternly: "Do you really want to break up with me completely?" Mu Ziyan turned around and answered courageously: "Yes. We have divorced and I have my freedom. I'm afraid Mr. Tan can't interfere with my decision." These words angered Tan Yichen. He stared at her, held her shoulders with both hands, and forced her to look directly at him: "Look at me and tell me, do you completely stop loving me?" Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, her tone firm: "I, Mu Ziyan, no longer love you." Tan Yichen pushed her away angrily and left resolutely.

The crowd gradually faded away, and Mu Ziyan gently held Lu Tianming's arm and walked out of the hotel door together. Just as she was about to leave, her eyes were attracted by Xing Feng and Zhang Yang supporting the obviously drunk Tan Yichen. They were standing in front of the car, and the atmosphere there seemed a bit noisy. Although Mu Ziyan felt uneasy, she still cast a glance. Seeing the embarrassment on their faces, she immediately let go of Lu Tianming's arm and quickly walked over there regardless of his obstruction.

Xing Feng and Zhang Yang were delighted when they saw Mu Ziyan approaching, and they respectfully called out, "Sister Yan!" Mu Ziyan glanced at them indifferently and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Xing Feng immediately explained, "Brother Chen drank too much and refused to leave." Mu Ziyan saw Tan Yichen holding the car door tightly, preventing Zhang Yang from closing it. She sighed, walked forward and took his arm, and said softly, "Don't be angry, go home." This familiar voice and breath gave Tan Yichen a sense of stability. Although he was still drunk, under Mu Ziyan's guidance, he finally got into the car obediently.

Seeing this scene, Xing Feng was secretly delighted: Even if Brother Chen was drunk, he would listen to Sister Yan. He sincerely thanked Mu Ziyan: "Sister Yan, thank you so much." His words revealed deep respect and gratitude. Afterwards, Zhang Yang walked to the driver's seat, and Xing Feng turned around and said to Mu Ziyan: "Sister Yan, we are going back to the hotel." Mu Ziyan asked doubtfully: "Why don't you go home?" Xing Feng hesitated for a moment, glanced at Tan Yichen in the car with a little sadness, and told the truth: "Since the day you left, Tan Yichen has been on a hunger strike in your bedroom for three days, and has never set foot in that house again. Sister Yan, please believe me, the truth of the matter is not what it seems. In Brother Chen's heart, you are his only love. Everything he does is to be able to spend the rest of his life with you."

Mu Ziyan was shocked by Xing Feng's words. She saw through the car window that Tan Yichen was sleeping soundly on the seat, and she couldn't help but wonder: Is he suffering the same pain as me?

After the car drove far away, Mu Ziyan felt an uncontrollable nausea. She hurried to a corner and began to vomit. She herself didn't know whether it was because of the smell of alcohol or other reasons. Seeing this, Lu Tianming quickly walked up to ask about her condition.

"Zi Yan, what's wrong?" Mu Zi Yan shook her head, saying that she had eaten something by mistake and had stomach discomfort. Lu Tianming immediately drove her home.

Mu Ziyan lay exhausted on the bed, repeatedly pondering Xing Feng's words today. The existence of the child was like a fog that puzzled her. There were still many unsolved truths that troubled her. She tried hard to decipher the meaning. Suddenly, another round of nausea made her rush to the bathroom. After vomiting, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her face pale. She recalled her fatigue in recent days and her state today, and a terrifying idea gradually became clear to her - she might be pregnant.

Recalling the night before their separation, when they were lingering, it was her ovulation period. Mu Ziyan was excited, quietly lifted her sleeves, gently stroked her belly, and was grateful. At that moment, it seemed as if the child they had lost had returned. At this moment, she was moved to tears in her eyes, and she said from the bottom of her heart: "Yi Chen, we have another child!"

The rain was pouring down outside the window, and the night was as dark as ink. Recalling the scene of Tan Yichen being drunk at night, she couldn't help but worry whether he had someone to take care of him and whether he was in good health. Xing Feng's words were like a sharp knife piercing her heart, making her deeply worried. She was full of doubts about what happened to Tan Yichen during those three days. It was hard for her to understand why he was so infatuated and persistent, but why he hurt herself so much.

With so many thoughts in her mind, she felt a strong love and expectation for this child. After these days, she finally realized that her feelings for Tan Yichen were as solid as a rock and could not be easily diverted by a momentary impulse. Therefore, she made a brave decision - she would firmly welcome this child into this world.

Under the bright light of the first day, Mu Ziyan held the test paper in her hand, and the expression in her eyes clearly reflected the two fiery red lines, which proved her pregnancy without a doubt. This news made her so happy that she couldn't express it in words. Therefore, she appeared in front of Lu Tianming's office earlier than usual.

When Lu Tianming saw her appearing in his office with a hesitant look on her face, he mistakenly thought that something had happened again, but Mu Ziyan hurriedly shook her head to indicate that nothing was wrong. He immediately closed the door and asked anxiously what had happened. Mu Ziyan stared at him and slowly revealed her decision: "I firmly believe that my feelings for Tan Yichen cannot be shaken. I am already pregnant, and I hope to give birth to the child safely."

This sudden news was like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, which made Lu Tianming stunned. The feelings between the two had just begun to heat up, but at this moment, they were instantly deadlocked because of this news. Lu Tianming asked: "Give birth? You are already divorced." Mu Ziyan stood up with a pleading look in her eyes: "So, I decided to go abroad to give birth to the child." Her tone was firm and resolute, as if this was her only choice. Lu Tianming looked at her and understood that she was asking him to handle the procedures for her to go abroad. With a hateful expression, she slammed the door and left.

After returning home, Mu Ziyan knew that the confidentiality of this news was of vital importance. She knew that no one could know about it, not even her brother and sister-in-law. Otherwise, Tan Yichen would soon know about it and the whole situation would become uncontrollable. Her wish was to ask Lu Tianming to help her apply for the procedures to go abroad in the name of the company, but this seemed difficult to achieve. From Lu Tianming's expression, she could feel the sign of hope being dashed.

After returning home, Lu Tianming sat on the sofa in excitement and lit a cigarette. At this moment, he was full of resentment towards Tan Yichen. He thought that with a little more effort, he could take his relationship with Mu Ziyan to a higher level. In the long run, she would definitely fall deeply in love. But fate played a joke on him. She and Tan Yichen had a child, which made all his expectations come to nothing. He always knew how deep Mu Ziyan's feelings for Tan Yichen were, but he still stubbornly tried to gain her approval. The smoke choked him and made him burst into tears. He stood up suddenly, and a firm idea emerged in his heart: "I can be the father of this child. Since I love her, I should accept all of her." So he picked up the car keys without hesitation and went straight to the Mu family.

The next morning, Tan Yichen woke up with a splitting headache. He got up a little dizzy and started washing up. When he walked out of the bedroom dressed neatly, he found Xing Feng sleeping on the sofa. Only then did he realize that he was drunk last night and Xing Feng did not leave out of concern. At this moment, Tan Yichen's mind gradually became clear. Facing the various challenges and opportunities in reality, he needed to re-examine his emotions and responsibilities.

Xing Feng was half awake when he caught a glimpse of Tan Yichen sitting at his desk, flipping through documents intently. He sat up abruptly, walked to the desk, and asked in a formal tone, "Brother, can you recall how you got on the bus yesterday?" Tan Yichen looked up and saw Xing Feng with a sly smile, trying to recall the past, and finally shook his head helplessly. Xing Feng said with a comforting smile, "Sister Yan saw that you were determined not to leave, so she took the initiative to come over and help you get on the bus. We really couldn't do anything to you."

When Tan Yichen first heard this, his expression froze, and then he asked calmly: "Does she still have me in her heart? Didn't she appear in public with Lu Tianming?" Xing Feng stepped forward and explained in a more sincere tone: "Brother, don't be childish. Yesterday you insisted on not leaving, and Sister Yan came to help without hesitation. Isn't this because she has you in her heart and is worried about your health?"

Hearing this, Tan Yichen felt mixed emotions, but his facial expression remained serious. He said, "Enjoy breakfast first. We'll go to the company later." Although his words remained formal, they revealed a hint of warmth in his heart.

Lu Tianming rushed to Mu Ziyan's house, and Chen Anqi told him that Mu Ziyan was in her room. Lu Tianming hurried upstairs. Chen Anqi looked at him in confusion and shook her head.

Lu Tianming resolutely stepped into her room. When Mu Ziyan saw him, she was instantly frightened. He walked straight to Mu Ziyan, held her hands tightly, and said affectionately: "Ziyan, I love you deeply, and I am willing to be the father of this child. Are you willing?"

Mu Ziyan was so shocked by his sudden appearance that she was at a loss what to do. She immediately pulled back her hand and stepped back repeatedly, asking in confusion: "You...what did you just say?" Lu Tianming approached her with a firm look in his eyes and said seriously and seriously: "I have thought it over carefully. I really love you and am willing to accept everything about you. I have the ability and confidence to raise this child and let him grow up healthily under my knees. Ziyan, forget about Tan Yichen. I will give you a perfect future."

Mu Ziyan quickly shook her head and refused. She emphasized: "No, this is Tan Yichen's child. If he knew, he would be extremely angry and might even take extreme actions!" Lu Tianming realized that his attitude was too impulsive and frightened Mu Ziyan. He took a deep breath and said solemnly again: "I understand that you want to go abroad to give birth to a child in order to avoid Tan Yichen knowing the existence of the child. I can help you realize this wish."

Mu Ziyan heard that he understood her thoughts, and a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes. Seeing this, Lu Tianming continued, "Let me be the father of this child. I will fully support you. I will make you happy." Mu Ziyan turned around and covered her face with the curtains, tears falling. She turned around and looked at Lu Tianming while sobbing.

Lu Tianming took a step forward and swore solemnly: "If I fail to love this child as my own, I am willing to be punished by lightning." Hearing his oath, Mu Ziyan slowly turned around and looked at him, with complicated emotions surging in her heart...

Lu Tianming knew very well that Mu Ziyan's heart was in turmoil at the moment, so he continued in a steady tone: "Zi Yan, this matter must be strictly sealed, and even your joy cannot be revealed in the slightest. Do you understand?" Mu Ziyan nodded slightly, as if being led by these words, and her emotions fell into some decisive decision.

Lu Tianming then added: "After one month, I will publicly announce that you have been pregnant for a month. I will declare that we were drunk that night and couldn't help ourselves, and we conceived this child. I implore you to fully cooperate with me and let me arrange a quiet residence and professional doctors for you until you give birth smoothly."

Mu Ziyan listened to his plan and thought about it carefully. She felt that this was a wise move that could ensure the safety of her and her child, and also free her from the entanglement with Tan Yichen. This would not only allow her to give birth to the child legitimately, but also provide the child with a legal identity. So, Mu Ziyan turned around and responded firmly: "I agree to your request."

Her voice was mixed with expectations and worries about the future. But at this critical moment, she chose to trust Lu Tianming and believed that this would be the best choice for her and her child's future. She would firmly follow this plan, and no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she would have the courage to face it.
