The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Episode 25: Making the Relationship Clear

The car stopped steadily in front of a seven-star hotel by the sea. Lu Tianming opened the door for her like a gentleman, his eyes full of tenderness and love.

Mu Ziyan shyly avoided his gaze, as if she was a little girl who had made a mistake. She didn't know what the result would be if she told Lu Tianming the truth today.

The manager at the front desk led them to the private room.

Lu Tianming still said very gentlemanly: "Zi Yan, based on my understanding of you, I have already ordered the dishes. Let's see if they suit your taste. Am I right in ordering them?"

Mu Ziyan nodded and smiled, without making any further reply.

The two of them waited in silence for the food to be served. Mu Ziyan lowered her head nervously, while Lu Tianming's eyes kept wandering over her.

"My two guests, the dishes have been served. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter's words brought Mu Ziyan back to her senses.

The moment she looked up, she saw a few people talking to Tan Yichen as they passed by the door. The door was open because the waiter was serving the food. Mu Ziyan's heart suddenly tightened.

Lu Tianming noticed her abnormality and asked hurriedly: "Zi Yan, what's wrong? You seem very nervous?"

Looking up at Lu Tianming, she was so nervous that she didn't want to stay here any longer. She stood up suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "Sorry, I want to leave!"

Mu Ziyan had no idea that the car parked by Lu Tianming had already attracted Tan Yichen's attention. At first, he didn't think much about it, just thinking that Lu Tianming was here to discuss business with his friends. As a result, the reply from the front desk manager completely angered him. However, when he passed by the private room, he had already seen the situation inside. At this time, he was standing in a private room on the second floor, wanting to see what was going on, and what tricks Lu Tianming was going to play.

Mu Ziyan hurried out and headed straight for the door. Lu Tianming then called her name, but Mu Ziyan seemed to block out his voice completely. She walked quickly without looking back!

"President Tan is here, did you see? He's so handsome!" The words of the two waiters passing by completely broke Mu Ziyan's heart. He must have misunderstood her!

He angrily went down the stairs and wanted to take a taxi home. Lu Tianming followed him panting.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you like this?" Lu Tianming's question angered Mu Ziyan.

"This is his place, isn't it?" Looking at him with angry eyes.

The sudden revelation shocked Lu Tianming. He lowered his head and did not refute.

Seeing Lu Tianming's silent admission, she became even more angry. She left without looking back. Lu Tianming followed anxiously.

Tan Yichen on the second floor looked carefully. It seemed that his wife was not aware of it. On the contrary, he had seen through Lu Tianming's little thoughts. At this moment, he had made up his mind that it was time to teach him a lesson.

The car slowly stopped in front of the Mu family's door, and Tan Yichen stood in front of the car. Mu Ziyan was shocked. He was still at the hotel just now. How did he manage to stand in front of them now?

Tan Yichen looked at Lu Tianming with murderous eyes, and Mu Ziyan trembled all over. Before she could recover from the shock, she saw Tan Yichen quickly walked over, opened the car door, and pulled her out of the car.

Seeing this, Lu Tianming hurriedly got out of the car to stop it, but he saw Tan Yichen hiding Mu Ziyan behind him and using his tall body to proudly block in front of him.

"Mr. Tan, why bother? We have equal opportunities! Don't we?" Lu Tianming looked fearless.

Tan Yichen also took his time to check on Mu Ziyan's situation. Her nervousness and anxiety were clearly reflected on her face, which made Tan Yichen feel distressed. He let go of the hand that was holding her arm and walked closer to her.

Tan Yichen asked Mu Ziyan in a gentle tone: "Didn't you tell Mr. Lu the truth?"

Mu Ziyan raised her head and met Tan Yichen's stern gaze, tears flashing in her eyes.

Lu Tianming hurriedly asked: "Zi Yan, what happened?"

Seeing Mu Ziyan's indifference, Tan Yichen finally took her hand. With their fingers interlocked, he said to Lu Tianming provocatively: "We are getting married!"

This hand-holding scene made Lu Tianming completely sober up. Seeing Mu Ziyan's unevasive consent, he finally understood that this was the absolute truth.

This was shocking news, like a thunderbolt across the sky. Lu Tianming stumbled back, unable to accept this fact. He shook his head, his heart filled with confusion and unspeakable pain. Mu Ziyan did not give him any words, which made him fall into the abyss, unable to extricate himself.

Everything he had carefully planned now seemed so ridiculous and childish. All the arrangements and plans ended up in vain, a complete joke.

He watched his efforts go to waste with a heartache, and his mood was like a cloud torn apart by a strong wind, helpless and confused. He tried hard to find the root of the problem, but found that everything seemed to have lost its meaning.

Start the engine and drive quickly away from this sad place!

Looking at Lu Tianming who had already walked away, Mu Ziyan closed her slightly painful eyes and shook off Tan Yichen's hand.

Tan Yichen was not angry. He just wanted to laugh as he looked at his innocent little wife, who was being taken advantage of but refused to admit it.

He walked towards her lightly, still with a hint of teasing in his tone, and said, "In the future, if you don't want to face something, I can help you solve it."

Mu Ziyan looked up at him in astonishment and uttered only one word: "You..." Then she turned around and wanted to leave.

Tan Yichen grabbed Mu Ziyan's arm with one hand and used all his strength to completely lock her in his arms. The fragrance of her body filled his nose, enough to fill the infinite longing for her these days.

Mu Ziyan opened her eyes wide and tried hard to push him away.

Tan Yichen smiled and whispered in her ear: "The more you resist, the harder I will be."

Sure enough, this sentence was undoubtedly a good tranquilizer! Mu Ziyan's body relaxed little by little. She knew clearly in her mind that she couldn't anger this man again.

"Just hug me for a while. I miss you!" Unable to help whispering, Tan Yichen buried his head deeply in her hair and shoulders.

Mu Ziyan no longer had any resistance in her heart, and quietly let Tan Yichen hug her, slowly accepting his deep affection. She smelled the unique cologne on him, but she felt unusually at ease in her heart.

When Lu Tianming got home, he angrily threw his car keys on the coffee table, which scared Lu Xinyue.

In her memory, her brother rarely got this angry. She asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you so angry about?"

Lu Tianming roared to the sky: "Your good sister Mu Ziyan is going to marry Tan Yichen!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Xinyue looked at Lu Tianming in surprise. This news, which came without any signs, was like a bolt of lightning that streaked across the sky and instantly struck Lu Xinyue's heart. She asked in disbelief: "It's impossible. Yanyan doesn't have to do this. She doesn't know Tan Yichen!" She grabbed Lu Tianming's collar with both hands and shook his body, trying to make Lu Tianming sober up and tell the truth.

He sat down on the sofa dejectedly, holding his head in his hands and said: "Tan Yichen said it in person in front of me, and they even held hands and made it clear to me."

Lu Xinyue still shook her head unwillingly, picked up the phone on the table, and drove to Mu Ziyan's house.
