The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

From that day on, Mu Ziyan was always by Lu Tianming's side. The two of them came to the building of Shenghui Group and stood downstairs. Lu Tianming knew that Mu Ziyan was worried and uneasy at the moment, so he gave her silent encouragement with a firm look. The two of them understood each other's intentions tacitly, and under the guidance of Xing Feng, they walked into the office.

When they passed by Tan Yichen's office, they happened to see Tan Yichen and Yaqi coming out side by side. Yaqi leaned on his arms, and the two smiled at each other, like a harmonious and happy picture. When he looked up, Lu Tianming and Mu Ziyan came side by side. Tan Yichen immediately stepped forward to greet them, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Lu, you are here too early. Please wait in the office for a while. I will send Yaqi out and we will talk in detail later." Tan Yichen never distracted Mu Ziyan during the whole process, and only focused on communicating with Lu Tianming.

Mu Ziyan lowered her head slightly and followed Lu Tianming into the office silently. Tan Yichen and Yaqi went straight to the elevator. Looking at the familiar figure that he had been thinking about day and night, Tan Yichen felt a surge of sadness in his heart, and he wished he could hold her in his arms at this moment. After seeing Yaqi off, he stood in the elevator with Xing Feng. Xing Feng asked curiously: "Brother, aren't you happy that Sister Yan showed up?" Tan Yichen replied indifferently: "She and Lu Tianming are busy with their daily work and communicate frequently, so how can they be distracted from me? Ask the vice president to take over this project, I have other things to deal with." Xing Feng was speechless for a moment after hearing this, and said no more.

Afterwards, the vice president and Xing Feng entered the conference room together. Mu Ziyan felt a little disappointed when she saw that Tan Yichen did not show up. But then she thought that this arrangement might be better, at least she would not have to feel uneasy.

Until noon, Mu Ziyan gradually felt exhausted due to the discomfort of her early pregnancy. Seeing this, Lu Tianming reached out and held her hand tightly and said, "How do you feel? Why don't we go back and rest for a while?" She knew that he couldn't help himself and was also doing it for the people in Tan Yichen's company. Mu Ziyan understood and shook his hand back with a tender smile. Seeing this, Xing Feng, who was standing by, recalled Tan Yichen's previous jealousy and felt a chill in his back. He thought in his heart that if Tan Yichen saw this scene, he might have deep hostility towards Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianming walked out of the office holding Mu Ziyan's arm, and Xing Feng asked with concern: "Sister Yan, are you okay?" Mu Ziyan shook her head in response, with urgency in her eyes. She whispered in Lu Tianming's ear in an inaudible voice: "Go quickly, don't let him find out." Lu Tianming understood and changed his support to holding hands, holding them tightly. Mu Ziyan mustered up the courage to hold Lu Tianming's fingers tightly, and the two walked into the elevator hand in hand. Xing Feng watched the two leave with a respectful attitude.

After the elevator door closed, Xing Feng turned around and saw Tan Yichen standing there with a gloomy face and anger. He immediately stepped forward to explain: "Brother, Sister Yan is so strange. She looks bad and seems very tired." Tan Yichen guessed that these days were her menstrual period. He was busy with work recently and forgot the exact date of her menstrual cycle.

Xing Feng walked into Yaqi's room with hot meals in his hands. Yaqi looked at him coldly and asked, "Why are you here again? Where is my brother?" Xing Feng chose to ignore him and was about to leave after putting down the food. However, Yaqi quickly blocked his way. He noticed that Yaqi's belly was already showing signs of pregnancy, and his anger instantly disappeared. He asked in a humble tone, "Is there anything else you need?" Yaqi asked excitedly about Tan Yichen's whereabouts. Xing Feng responded with a glare, "You should also understand that Brother Chen is busy with work and cannot always be with you. And I, if you are willing, may have some free time." Hearing this, Yaqi became even more angry and pushed him out of the door. The door slammed shut with a loud bang. Xing Feng shook his head helplessly and asked himself: How long will this entanglement last?

At the door of the Mu family under the night sky, Tan Yichen leaned against the car door, a wisp of smoke rising from his fingertips. When he raised his wrist to look, the pointer had pointed to ten o'clock. He looked through the phone book, hesitating whether to dial the familiar number. At this time, the sound of a car engine came from a distance. He fixed his eyes and saw Mu Ziyan driving slowly towards him, her clear face in the car window. She parked the car steadily in front of him and walked out of the car calmly.

The two of them looked at each other and walked closer. Tan Yichen stared at her and whispered, "Lu Tianming once said that with your talent, you should be free to fly in the workplace. You are my woman, and I naturally know your strength and independence." After speaking, he moved forward a little. Mu Ziyan did not avoid him, she listened to his words. Tan Yichen continued, "Now that you are free from my constraints, you can drive your own car to the places you long for, and you can do what you like. Maybe one day you will find love again, but I believe this is the best result."

A glimmer of moisture flashed in Tan Yichen's eyes, and he gently slid his fingers over the contours of her face, his emotions surging without words. Mu Ziyan looked up at his deep face, gently placed her hand on his palm, and their fingertips intertwined, showing a tacit understanding.

"Xing Feng will go to Country M with me," Tan Yichen said calmly, "If anything happens in the company, you can ask Zhang Yang to help you. I can only accompany you here because I have more important things to do!" After saying this, he looked away, revealing a bit of helplessness and reluctance.

Mu Ziyan hurriedly asked, "How long will you be in Country M? Will you come back?" Her voice was full of concern and reluctance. However, Tan Yichen chose to smile without answering, hiding his deep emotions under that warm smile.

As time passed, Tan Yichen gently held her face with both hands and slowly moved closer to her lips. Seeing that she did not refuse, he kissed her affectionately. At this moment, their emotions burst out directly because of their long-term longing for each other. Mu Ziyan tightly wrapped her arms around his waist, as if to carve him deeply into her life. Her response was so warm and sincere, as if to tell him that no matter where he went, she would wait for his return.

Tan Yichen whispered in her ear: "Protect yourself. I will always love you, but I have to leave." Then, he let go of her hand, touched her forehead, and turned around resolutely, striding towards the car without any nostalgia. Behind her, Mu Ziyan burst into tears: "Tan Yichen, you are so cruel, you hurt me and then ignored me. I don't love you anymore, go away, go away, don't come back..."

Tan Yichen got into the car and saw Mu Ziyan squatting there crying through the rearview mirror. His heart ached and he closed his eyes to adjust his mood. Then, he drove away quickly, leaving behind a broken relationship and endless memories.

Mu Ziyan was deeply trapped in a vortex of pain, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The sudden pain in her abdomen made her stagger, and she hurried back to the car, seeking a moment of peace and rest. Tears fell, she gently wiped them away, stroked her belly, and whispered: "My baby, you must be brave until you come into this world. Although your father has not yet known your existence, I know that he is full of love for you in his heart." In her caress and whispers, the baby seemed to be able to feel the mother's expectations.

In the meeting room of Tan Yichen's company, working for several consecutive days has become a daily routine. Whenever passing by his office, Mu Ziyan would always stop for a moment unconsciously. Zhang Yang noticed this subtle move and knew that although both parties were in a stalemate on the surface, they were deeply concerned about each other in their hearts. He suggested to Mu Ziyan: "Sister Yan, let's go in and take a look!"

The surprise in Mu Ziyan's eyes was revealed at that moment, so Zhang Yang guided her with understanding, and finally led her to Tan Yichen's private territory. After closing the office door, Mu Ziyan examined every corner here that contained traces of Tan Yichen's work. She walked heavily to the desk that symbolized authority and power, and her mind couldn't help but emerge with his figure buried in work. She looked back at the blue leather sofa, where the two had sat opposite each other, and where she proposed the conditions for marriage. Looking back now, that scene seemed a little funny, but it was deeply engraved in her heart.

The atmosphere of the two of them getting along was pervasive here. She sank into the sofa sadly, tears streaming down her face without a word. Endless thoughts were like sharp cuts that made her feel physically and mentally tortured. She had never realized that her feelings for the two of them were so deep. Thinking of the separation with Tan Yichen, the ties in her heart seemed to be taken away as well. She took out her cell phone and impulsively wanted to call Tan Yichen, but when she thought about it, he must be accompanying the pregnant Yaqi in Country M! Who is she to him?

Just as she was getting up, she was attracted by the slightly messy display of books. She walked forward slowly, wanting to help, and wanted to put them in order. However, she accidentally dropped a book from a high place to the ground. Unexpectedly, a photo slipped out with it. Out of curiosity, Mu Ziyan held the book and the photo in her palm. After a closer look, she found that the people in the photo made her eyes widen in disbelief. It was a photo of her father when he was young. The people in the picture were all young people in their prime, and their faces showed youth and vigor. Their smiles were warm and sincere, and the deep friendship between them could be seen. Everyone's posture seemed relaxed and interesting, as if they were playing and joking. Turning to the back of the photo, a line of small words came into view. Their names are written on it: "From left to right: Lu Dehai, Chen Jincheng, Tan Yansheng, Mu Shangrong, and Long Zhaoxian. We officially became brothers on x day and x month of xx year, and this is to commemorate it." These words seem to uncover memories of the past, filling the picture with the marks of time and the power of emotion.

Mu Ziyan quickly hid the photo in her bag, looked at the door in a panic, and put the book back on the bookshelf. Then she opened the door and left. When Zhang Yang saw her coming out, he hurriedly asked: "Sister Yan, are you going home? I'll take you home!" Mu Ziyan smiled unnaturally and replied: "I drove here by myself. Thank you! I'm leaving." Zhang Yang saw her discomfort. Thinking that she had been in the house for too long, many things reminded her of the unpleasant things in the past, so she didn't care too much! He sent her to the door of the company and said goodbye.

Mu Ziyan immediately returned to the Mu family and came to the study. She looked for Mu Yunting. Fortunately, he was at home today. Mu Ziyan closed the door immediately after entering. Mu Yunting was looking at the documents in the study. When he saw Mu Ziyan entering, he asked in confusion: "Yanyan, is there something wrong?"

Mu Ziyan walked to the desk. She took out the photo from her bag and handed it to Mu Yunting. Mu Yunting took the photo and looked at it carefully. His expression changed drastically. He stood up immediately and asked in surprise: "Where did you get it?" Mu Ziyan just answered: "In Tan Yichen's office." Mu Yunting checked the small words on the back and was shocked. He sat back in his chair and thought. After a while, he said: "I didn't expect that my father would hide their relationship. There must be some secret. We should think about it carefully."
