The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Chapter 45: Conditions for Yaqi's Departure

When Long Zhaoxian stepped into this familiar city again, a strong feeling of nostalgia arose spontaneously, bringing him back to the days more than ten years ago.

At that time, they supported each other and overcame difficulties in the ever-changing business world. From starting with nothing to their current impressive position, the setbacks and hardships they experienced can only be understood by those who have experienced them personally. Every footprint on that journey contains their unknown efforts and sweat. They used their wisdom and courage to write legendary stories.

In the bustling business world, the five people have gained a firm foothold with wisdom and perseverance, and then each of them has established a family and a career. However, only he has been silently waiting for the girl he loves. He once had a dream and firmly believed that one day he would take root in this city and marry her. However, fate played a cruel joke on him. She turned around and threw herself into the arms of someone else when he was completely unprepared. What's even more heartbreaking is that the lucky other person turned out to be their common boss - Tan Yansheng.

The appearance of Tan Yansheng seemed to be an unignorable landscape in the business world. He won the respect of everyone with his unique charm and extraordinary talent. And his beloved girl was also attracted to Tan Yansheng unconsciously and finally chose him as her life partner. This change came so suddenly that he felt resentful.

He was full of confusion and puzzlement, and he never understood where he had failed. They had been childhood sweethearts, and yet, unbelievably, in a very short time, she had left him and thrown herself into the arms of another man without any warning. Even more shocking was that in the fleeting time, she had conceived the fruit of Tan Yansheng's life - Tan Yichen.

This made him wonder if Tan Yansheng had done something bad to her, forcing her to marry him. This made his suspicions even more intense.

The towering building outside the window was like Tan Yansheng's proud posture when he was alive, as if mocking his helplessness and confusion. His heart was full of doubts and suspicions, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Their past was like a movie playing over and over in his mind, and every detail made him miserable. He tried to find answers and tried to understand the truth of it all, but it seemed that the harder he tried, the more confused he became.

Now, Yaqi has once again stepped into his once-up and down emotional journey. From the moment Tan Yichen first stepped into his home, he keenly sensed Yaqi's deep obsession with Tan Yichen. Surprisingly, Yaqi would take such an impulsive action, trying to tug at Tan Yichen's heartstrings in a coercive way. Her unrepentant persistence seemed to follow only the solo of her personal will, but she never saw that what Tan Yichen hated most in his heart was the coercion and oppression of the outside world.

Tan Yichen and Tan Yansheng have a strikingly similar style of doing things. This indistinguishable similarity makes him feel as if he is talking to Tan Yansheng every time he talks to Tan Yichen. Tan Yichen's presence is always a reminder of Tan Yansheng's past.

Xing Feng led everyone to wait downstairs of Tan Yichen's company. With his far-sighted eyes, he first caught sight of Long Zhaoxian who got off the car first. He was solemn and respectful, and led the team to greet him. When Long Zhaoxian appeared in front of him, Xing Feng did not dare to raise his head an inch, but greeted him in a heavy voice, "Hello, Chairman." But Long Zhaoxian did not even cast a glance at him, but walked decisively and quickly towards Tan Yichen's office.

Xing Feng thought in his heart that another storm might be coming soon!

Tan Yichen and Uncle Yan felt the urgency of the situation and rushed over from home, with a hint of anxiety in their steps.

Arriving at the office door, he adjusted his breathing and emotions slightly, trying to keep his mind as calm as possible. He knew clearly that he would face Long Zhaoxian's accountability in a moment - this storm that was destined to be difficult to avoid was about to hit.

Tan Yichen knew exactly how to face this storm. In order to resolve the impending crisis as soon as possible, he decisively and without hesitation pushed open the tightly closed door and strode into the office confidently and resolutely.

When he entered the room, the first thing he saw was Long Zhaoxian sitting calmly on the sofa, like an immovable Mount Tai. At this moment, Tan Yichen took a deep breath, and with a pious heart, he called him "Master" in the loudest and most respectful voice.

Long Zhaoxian looked up at him, and when their eyes met, he saw a warm glow in his eyes. He looked at Tan Yichen who was rushing over, and it was a long-lost scene, which triggered endless longing in his heart.

Although he hated Tan Yichen's father, Tan Yichen was the child he raised himself, and the disciple he had devoted countless efforts and hard work to cultivate. How could he easily forget this deep relationship between master and disciple! Whenever he recalled the past, his heart was surging and it was difficult to calm down.

As time goes by, the strong relationship between master and apprentice still shines, and has never been diminished by the erosion of time. Especially because Tan Yichen is the only remaining blood of his beloved, this special connection makes their relationship even closer. He pours all the deep love and affection that he could not realize in his lover into Tan Yichen, making it an inseparable bond between them.

The purpose of his trip was to teach Tan Yichen a lesson. However, when they finally met, the punishment in his heart naturally disappeared. He knew that Yaqi was wishful thinking, and the kindness that Tan Yichen showed to Yaqi was so pure and broad in his eyes, as if it was magnified by a huge magnifying glass.

Long Zhaoxian said in a calm tone: "Sit down", which made Tan Yichen, who was originally uneasy, feel a little calmer.

There was deep meaning in Long Zhaoxian's words, and he said slowly: "I don't intend to argue with you about this matter. Over the years, I have also seen the emotional changes in Yaqi. However, as her brother, your deliberate alienation makes me feel a little regretful. You no longer went to the hospital to visit her, causing her to fall into deep pain, and finally she had to ask me for help." As he spoke, there seemed to be some traces of moisture in his eyes.

"Yi Chen," he continued in a formal and concerned voice, "I only have one daughter, and you are very important to me. Are you two really making me uneasy?" His tone was full of expectation and worry, hoping to regain the lost family affection and warmth.

Tan Yichen suddenly stood up with a solemn expression, looked directly at Long Zhaoxian, and said in a steady and firm tone: "Master, I am already married. I love my wife deeply. If I don't do it so absolutely, it will not only be irresponsible to my marriage, but also unfair to Yaqi. I don't want to give her any hope anymore." After that, he lowered his head.

Long Zhaoxian slowly stood up and walked to the French window, sitting alone in a quiet corner, his deep eyes reflecting Tan Yichen's words. He knew in his heart that the emotional disputes were beyond his control, and his thoughts at this moment were purely from a father's deep concern for his beloved daughter.

Now the situation is clear. He was the one who promised Tan Yichen the marriage. How can he change this established fact? He knows that no words or actions can change the promise made in the past, but as a father and even more as a master, he decided to maintain his dignity.

He turned sideways and said to Tan Yichen solemnly: "I have decided to bring Yaqi back to Country M so that she will no longer disturb your life." His words revealed his unquestionable determination. Tan Yichen showed an expression of disbelief on his face. Obviously, he did not expect such a declaration.

Long Zhao approached Tan Yichen and continued with a firm look in his eyes: "But before that, there is an important matter that you must go back with me to deal with." His tone was serious, without the slightest slackness.

Tan Yichen's expression also became solemn. He knew that what Long Zhaoxian mentioned was not a trivial matter. His heart was in turmoil because he understood the complexity and difficulty behind it.

Tan Yichen listened attentively, which made Long Zhaoxian very satisfied. He solemnly put forward his conditions: "Chen Jincheng is currently trapped in the hands of the gangster boss of Country M. I hope you can help me rescue him together."

Tan Yichen's face darkened. He knew the style of the gangster boss too well. He was not a character that he and his master could afford to offend. Now that his master had proposed such a condition to him, it was clearly a way to his own death.

Why was Chen Jincheng imprisoned and captured by the gangster boss? This question always lingered in his mind, leaving him puzzled.

Long Zhaoxian took a deep breath and reluctantly began to narrate: "Chen Jincheng was so bold that he dared to sneak into the gangster's sphere of influence, intending to steal his secrets. However, he was outsmarted by his own cleverness and was caught in a trap set by the gangster."

"Why should we lend a helping hand to save him?" Tan Yichen's voice was full of doubt and concern, but he still raised this question firmly.

Long Zhaoxian was quite confused by this, because it involved the special disputes and ties of their era. He pondered for a moment, his eyes showing endless memories, and answered Tan Yichen calmly and seriously, his words mixed with emotional collisions and sparks of conflict.

"Let me just repay him for his brotherly love." Long Zhaoxian sighed.

Tan Yichen regarded this condition as Yaqi giving him a way to be free. Thinking about the future, no one would be able to disturb Mu Ziyan and his life anymore, he finally nodded boldly and agreed!
