The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

The next morning, as soon as Lu Xinyue went downstairs, she saw Lu Tianming sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about something.

"Brother, why haven't you left yet?" She asked out of habit, because usually at this time, he would have already gone out to the company. The two of them rarely met and rarely communicated.

"Xinyue, sit down, I have something to talk to you about." His serious words stunned Lu Xinyue, which was rare.

As soon as she sat down, Lu Tianming asked her seriously, "Did you go to work at Yi Haotian's company?"

Lu Xinyue replied disapprovingly: "Yeah. What's wrong?"

Lu Tianming then asked: "Zi Yan went too?" Lu Xinyue finally understood the point.

"Yes!" She crossed her legs and glanced at Lu Tianming lightly.

Lu Tianming sighed, stood up and said, "Resign!"

This sentence made Lu Xinyue very angry.

She stood up suddenly, wanting to argue with him.

"Why? Yanyan and I were selected by this company since we were in school. Why should we resign?" she asked nervously.

Lu Tianming said angrily: "He is a dangerous man. He is cruel and ruthless. It will be dangerous for you and Zi Yan to follow him!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Does Tan Yichen know about this?" Lu Xinyue's words made Lu Tianming stop.

Lu Tianming didn't say anything else, and Lu Xinyue immediately walked up to him.

"Brother, no matter what grudges there are between you and Tan Yichen, we don't care. But you can't just let me quit my job without knowing why! Besides, Tan Yichen must have investigated where Yanyan was going to work, otherwise how could he be at ease!"

After hearing her words, Lu Tianming was speechless for a moment. Lu Xinyue was right. Although there were conflicts between him and Tan Yichen, Tan Yichen was indeed a person who could provide security for Ziyan. However, Yi Haotian was well-known for his ruthless means in the business field. What on earth was Tan Yichen thinking, so confidently letting Mu Ziyan join his company?

He was silent for a moment, and finally left after saying just one sentence.

"As you wish."

After some thought, Lu Xinyue didn't hesitate too much, picked up her bag and went straight to the company.

Who would have thought that when she arrived at the company, her colleagues told her that Mu Ziyan had taken sick leave!

Sitting in the office, he quickly picked up his cell phone and wanted to call Mu Ziyan.

The phone only made a beeping sound, but no one answered. This frightened Lu Xinyue. Ten thousand bad thoughts came to her mind, and she hurried out the door, ready to go to Mu Ziyan's house to find out what was going on!

Just as he was about to enter the elevator, perhaps because he was too anxious, he bumped into Yi Haotian. Looking up, they both took a step back in embarrassment!

Yi Haotian asked in confusion: "What's the matter? Why are you so anxious?"

Lu Xinyue frowned and said, "Yanyan is on sick leave and won't answer the phone. I'm going to see her!" Then she was about to get into the elevator, but was stopped by Yi Haotian who was getting out of the elevator.

This first physical contact made Lu Xinyue a little stunned. Her eyes were a little shy and a little confused, but she quickly regained her composure. Yi Haotian maintained a serious and focused expression, as if silently observing her reaction.

He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, cleverly breaking the awkward situation between the two.

He calmed down, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said with some amusement: "When she was sick, Tan Yichen took care of her. Why did you go to join in the fun? To be a light bulb? Your brightness is a bit too high!"

Lu Xinyue's eyes widened, and she pondered his words in confusion. His expression amused him. The smile on his face showed a sunny and handsome image, which was like two different people from the one her brother described in the morning.

Yi Haotian noticed Lu Xinyue's trance, and he said in a gentle tone: "Go back and concentrate on your work. She has Tan Yichen's care, which is better than anyone else." However, such words made Lu Xinyue confused, as if there was some kind of familiar relationship between Yi Haotian and Tan Yichen.

She pouted her lips and looked at Yi Haotian's back as he left. For the first time, she found him so interesting. She couldn't help but become very interested in him. What kind of person was he? Such thoughts made her more curious and expectant about this man.

Mu Ziyan lay on the bed in pain, she shed so many tears that her face felt burning. She clutched the quilt tightly, motionless, silently enduring the torment of sadness.

Yu Ma noticed that it was past ten o'clock, but Mu Ziyan had not come downstairs yet, so she decided to go to her room to find out what was going on. Just as she was about to go upstairs, she saw Xing Feng coming back in a hurry.

Seeing Xing Feng's anxious look, Yu Ma asked what happened. Xing Feng said he couldn't find Tan Yichen and didn't answer the phone, so he had to come back to check.

Yu Ma was talking about Mu Ziyan's situation today, and the two of them thought about it and realized that they must have had a fight yesterday! Otherwise, why would one of them disappear and the other not come downstairs!

The two decided to go upstairs to check on Mu Ziyan's condition first!

After knocking on the door a few times, there was no response from inside! She had no choice but to knock a few more times, but still no response. Under Xing Feng's instructions, Yu Ma had no choice but to open the door and go in. Xing Feng was waiting at the door.

"Ah, Madam, what's wrong with you?" Yu Ma came closer and saw that Mu Ziyan's face was pale and she was holding the quilt motionless. She was really scared! Xing Feng, who was at the door, heard Yu Ma's cry and ran in without caring about anything. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly called Tan Yichen again. What a coincidence, this time the call went through!

Before Tan Yichen could speak, Xing Feng said anxiously: "Brother, brother... come back quickly, Sister Yan is very ill!"

When Tan Yichen heard the news, his heart was instantly pierced by a heavy hammer. He quickly picked up the car keys and drove home at high speed.

After parking the car at the door, he walked quickly to Mu Ziyan's room. Yu Ma was taking care of her, and Xing Feng briefly reported to him that the doctor had checked her and confirmed that it was a low-grade fever caused by a cold, and she needed to rest more.

He was so anxious that he wanted to hold her in his arms, to protect her, to protect her. He waved his hand to signal them to leave, and sat quietly by the bed alone.

Staring at the palm-sized face, now pale and bloodless, he felt deeply regretful and extremely self-blaming for his behavior yesterday. He did not choose to resolve the conflict, but left alone in the middle of the night, leaving her alone to bear the sadness. However, the blush on her face still remained, and the traces of tears had not faded. He looked at her painful appearance, and a pain began to surge in his heart. He had never expected that his behavior would cause her such great harm. He held her hand carefully in his hand, as if he was afraid of losing her. His eyes were wet uncontrollably.

Late at night, Mu Ziyan slowly opened her eyes. She looked out the window and found that it was already late at night. She wanted to sit up, but found that her hand was tightly held by Tan Yichen. She looked in the direction of his hand and found that Tan Yichen had fallen asleep on the bed. Mu Ziyan could imagine that he went out in the middle of the night yesterday, and he must have not rested all night like her.

Tan Yichen was very sensitive and noticed the hand being pulled away, and he woke up instantly. He saw Mu Ziyan sitting up, and he hurriedly got up to ask about the situation. However, Mu Ziyan looked at him expressionlessly and ignored his concern. Tan Yichen realized that she was really angry with him for his negligence.

After deep thinking last night, Tan Yichen finally realized it. He understood that he should act with 100% determination to win Mu Ziyan's heart, the heart that only belonged to him. Facing Mu Ziyan's indifference, he did not get angry, but sat down calmly.

After a moment's silence, he spoke with difficulty, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "What happened yesterday was my fault." He still looked up and met Mu Ziyan's gaze.

"I feel deeply guilty and shouldn't treat you like that. However, I don't think my love for you has any flaws or mistakes." Tan Yichen's voice was low and serious. He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the world outside the window, as if thinking about something.

Mu Ziyan lowered her head silently, speechless. Under the light, both of them looked extremely tired.

Tan Yichen turned and walked towards her, gently pulling the quilt for her. He said in a tender tone: "There are still many days to come, and we have plenty of time to solve various problems. Now you are not feeling well, take medicine and rest first."

He paused, then added: "Your health is my primary concern."

Unexpectedly, Mu Ziyan said angrily: "You go out and let Yu Ma come over!"

Tan Yichen stared at Mu Ziyan's turned face and refused firmly: "Impossible, I am the only one who can take care of you!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ziyan looked at Tan Yichen in astonishment, an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, and the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, revealing a hint of displeasure.

Tan Yichen said gently, "Take a rest!" Then he walked to the sofa and lay down.

This silent and long night was undoubtedly a test for the two people, each of whom had a lot on their minds.
