The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

They arrived at their destination and stopped at the entrance of a hotel. As soon as Tan Yichen saw where they were, he began to question Yi Haotian.

"It's clearly a dinner treat, but you chose to hold it in the hotel I run. Who's treating?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Tan Yichen's words.

Yi Haotian responded with a shy smile: "Mr. Tan, please don't be so stingy. In L City, which dishes can compare with your uniqueness?" Yi Haotian's compliment made the atmosphere relaxed. Seeing this, Tan Yichen did not ask any more questions, and the two of them walked into the hotel.

When Tan Yichen's trace appeared, the staff's attention was instantly focused. They were highly spirited and ready to welcome the president they were extremely obsessed with and respected.

"Hello, President!" They called out in unison with a respectful attitude and a loud and firm voice. The greetings echoed in the wide hall, spreading to every corner like a surging heat wave, attracting the attention of the guests. Even Yi Haotian behind him was no exception. He couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of superiority.

The manager in charge came forward to greet him. Tan Yichen nodded and said with a smile: "Boss Yi and I haven't had dinner yet, so please arrange it in my private room!"

The manager paid respect to Yi Haotian who appeared behind Tan Yichen, and greeted him with the most humble attitude and a sincere smile: "We are deeply honored to have Mr. Yi's visit." This unexpected respect made Yi Haotian feel a little uncomfortable.

Although he was accustomed to enjoying honor and praise in many occasions, the sense of honor he experienced in Tan Yichen's atmosphere was even greater, as if he had become the focus of everyone's attention.

He observed the affectionate glances those women cast at Tan Yichen, and couldn't help but feel envious. That unique charm and attraction made him deeply realize the gap between him and Tan Yichen. He couldn't help but sigh that in such a formal occasion, the difference in treatment between people was so obvious.

The two of them entered the private room under the guidance of the manager! After sitting down and waiting, Yi Haotian's phone rang. He glanced at the incoming call and a smile appeared on his face.

"Su Qing, are you done with your work?" Upon hearing these sudden gentle words, Tan Yichen couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly and stared at Yi Haotian.

He listened carefully to Su Qing's words, but with each word, his face gradually became gloomy. He felt an invisible pressure accumulating in his heart, suffocating him.

Yi Haotian hung up the phone and turned his eyes to Tan Yichen, thinking about the right words in his mind, trying to reveal something to him in a more tactful way. Tan Yichen noticed the change in Yi Haotian and realized that Su Qing must have told him some news.

"Just say whatever you want to say." There was a severity in Tan Yichen's voice that could not be ignored, which made Yi Haotian very nervous, fearing that his next words would trigger Tan Yichen's anger.

Tan Yichen's eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his tone became more severe, "What happened?"

Yi Haotian coughed lightly, held the bowl and chopsticks with both hands, and spoke cautiously, "It's about... Mu Ziyan."

"She was picked up by Lu Tianming." Yi Haotian's voice became lower and lower. When Tan Yichen suddenly stood up from his seat, Yi Haotian was also shocked and stood up straight.

"And...she already knows about Yaqi's suicide." Yi Haotian continued with a little hesitation.

"What? What else do you know?" Tan Yichen's voice was full of anger, like a beast about to explode.

"In Country M, Lu Xinyue had seen the gift you bought for Yaqi, and Mu Ziyan knew all about it." Yi Haotian finally told everything in one breath, and he felt an inexplicable sense of relief. He glanced at Tan Yichen, and saw him smash the glass table in front of him with one punch, and walked out of the room angrily. Seeing this, Yi Haotian also ran out after him.

The waiter rushed over after hearing the noise, and reacted quickly after seeing the situation in the private room. He followed closely, and saw Tan Yichen stepped into the car with a quick but firm step. Everyone was left looking at each other in bewilderment.

The instantaneous change of the scene made Yi Haotian stand there in a daze, as if time had frozen in front of him. His mind was still wandering in the same place, unable to immediately recover from this sudden change. He stood there, his eyes following Tan Yichen's figure away, leaving behind an unspeakable confusion and doubt.

He picked up his phone and called Su Qing, asking her to find Mu Ziyan as soon as possible. He informed her of the situation here, and prayed in his heart that nothing would happen to the two of them.

Tan Yichen sat in the car, anxiously dialing Mu Ziyan's phone number repeatedly. However, the countless times no one answered the phone made him realize that he might really have to face reality this time. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless and panic in his heart, but he still firmly continued to look for clues, hoping to find Mu Ziyan as soon as possible.

At this time, Su Qing called and said that Mu Ziyan had returned home! This made Tan Yichen feel relieved. He ordered Zhang Yang to go home. He wanted to see Mu Ziyan immediately and tell her that it was all a misunderstanding. He also hoped that she could listen to his explanation calmly.

As he approached his house, Tan Yichen's sight was inadvertently drawn to a blue luxury car in the distance. He was very familiar with the car model, which was exactly the car that Lu Tianming drove. He couldn't help but feel a trace of anger in his eyes, thinking to himself: Lu Tianming dared to set foot here, he was simply seeking his own death.

Witnessing the scene where Lu Tianming gently opened the car door for Mu Ziyan, every one of his delicate movements was like a heavy hammer, hitting Tan Yichen's heart hard. He watched how Lu Tianming gently put on her coat, and the jealousy and resentment in his heart almost reached a peak. At that moment, he was so angry that he wanted to chop off Lu Tianming's hand to express his dissatisfaction and anger.

Every frame of the picture was like a sharp knife, piercing his nerves. He could not stand such a scene, as if his property was taken away by others, and the anger and jealousy surged in his heart.

Tan Yichen got out of the car at the right time and signaled Zhang Yang to drive the car to his home. Mu Ziyan's eyes were fixed on the familiar car not far away. Seeing it approaching, she felt a strong wave of emotion in her heart. She stared at the car driving into the house, and her heart tightened slightly.

Afterwards, Mu Ziyan conveyed her nervousness and uneasiness to Lu Tianming in a calm and subtle manner: "He's back, you can go." Her words revealed a sense of urgency that could not be ignored.

However, Lu Tianming stood there in a calm manner, his eyes passed Mu Ziyan and looked at Tan Yichen who was walking towards them in the distance. His eyes were sharp and deep, and he noticed the coldness and murderous aura in Tan Yichen's eyes. This subtle perception made him want to take a step forward and gently pull Mu Ziyan to his side, so as to build a protective barrier for her.

Every subtle movement of Lu Tianming could not escape Tan Yichen's sharp eyes. When Mu Ziyan looked up inadvertently and met Tan Yichen's eyes, her eyes were obviously enlarged at that moment, full of unbelievable surprise. Surprisingly, he did not return to his home. Mu Ziyan's mood at this moment was like a child caught on the spot, full of guilt and uneasiness, so she lowered her head in shame.

Tan Yichen quietly approached the pair, his eyes fixed on the closely leaning posture of Mu Ziyan and Lu Tianming.

With a wicked smile, he spoke calmly: "Mr. Lu, perhaps you have forgotten that she is my, Tan Yichen's wife. Now, she should return to my side." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and calmly and firmly pulled Mu Ziyan back to his side.

Mu Ziyan was filled with fear at the moment. She knew very well what Tan Yichen looked like when he was angry, which was a kind of frightening majesty. Although she had learned the secret about Yaqi today, she couldn't get angry at all. This atmosphere was particularly depressing, and she could only endure it silently and move with Tan Yichen's guidance.

Lu Tianming watched Mu Ziyan being pulled back to Tan Yichen without saying anything. After all, he knew clearly that they were a legal couple. He was just standing up for Mu Ziyan!

Lu Tianming lowered his head slightly, and snorted a cold laugh. He suddenly raised his eyes, which were full of intense gaze, and stared at Tan Yichen in a sharp confrontation. Then, with a hint of provocation, the corners of his mouth curved into a contemptuous arc.

He said sarcastically, "Tan Yichen, you are nothing but a hypocritical gentleman. I, at least, like her openly. But you, hold high the banner of self-discipline, but do the most despicable things behind the scenes. It is really a great irony that you make Yanyan feel heartbroken for you."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Tan Yichen's heart, shaking his soul. Every word was like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting through his self-proclaimed indestructible disguise.

Without saying a word, he punched Lu Tianming in the face. Lu Tianming encountered a sudden and heavy punch, and he failed to defend in time, so the impact of the force made him fall to the ground. At that moment, the scene suddenly froze.

Mu Ziyan witnessed this scene and was shocked. She stared at Tan Yichen's completely out-of-control eyes, knowing that the situation was beyond her control. So, she used all her strength to hug Tan Yichen tightly from behind, and her voice revealed an unquestionable determination: "Tianming, go quickly!"

In the air, her shouts resounded like thunder, and every word seemed to carry a unique power. Tan Yichen originally planned to step forward again and teach Lu Tianming a lesson, but Mu Ziyan's sudden hug and hoarse shouting made him completely stunned, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Facing this scene, Lu Tianming looked up at Mu Ziyan's eyes full of grief. He stood up shakily as if drunk, and was instantly pulled by the deep heartache. He turned and ran quickly towards the car, eager to escape from this scene full of emotional twists and turns.
