The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life
Episode 63: Stalemate
As the night deepened, Mu Ziyan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. Since she quit her job, her life seemed to have fallen into a state of idleness, and she was always haunted by a sense of insecurity. She couldn't help but think of the time she had spent at the Mu family and thought of Chen Anqi. She wanted to go back to see her situation. After all, the sudden departure of a loved one is the most sad thing. But it would be useless to persuade her.
In the afternoon, Su Qing called and said she was going to see Yi Haotian. Oh. It was a rare time for us to be together, so let her go.
I walked downstairs alone, feeling bored. Seeing Yu Ma busy in the kitchen, I felt a sense of warmth. After a while, Su Qing walked in with her head down.
Seeing this, Mu Ziyan hurried over to ask if anything had happened.
Su Qing sighed and said: "After you and Lu Xinyue left that day, he called Yi Haotian to the company and beat him up."
Mu Ziyan's face changed color instantly, and she was shocked. She was surprised that Tan Yichen would show such a rude side!
She did not ask any more questions, and in a flash she turned and went up the stairs to her room. After entering the room, she could not calm down for a long time, thinking about this matter over and over again, feeling like she had encountered a bolt from the blue. His behavior was completely different from the Tan Yichen she knew, but this was the second time in their marriage that he had used violence!
She couldn't help but wonder if he would do something to her in the future? An inexplicable fear surged in Mu Ziyan's heart. She shook her head violently, trying to dispel this emotion from her mind. However, her heart could not calm down.
There was a sound of a car outside the gate, she walked to the window and saw Tan Yichen's car coming back, but she felt unnaturally nervous.
Su Qing was already waiting for him at the gate. Tan Yichen keenly observed Su Qing's abnormality through the car window and guessed that Su Qing was waiting for him.
After getting off the car, he said to her directly: "Come here"
The two people came to the swimming pool.
Su Qing was anxious to know the answer: "Brother, why do you have to do this? What did Haotian do wrong?"
Tan Yichen turned to face Su Qing and said with a smile: "You haven't called me like this for a long time!"
Su Qing looked at him in astonishment, tears in her eyes.
He lowered his head and whispered: "Yes, we can never go back to those good times."
I looked up with determination and couldn't help shedding tears.
"You didn't hesitate to take action for Mu Ziyan. Have you ever thought about our old friendship? Haotian treats you as a good brother, and this is how you treat him?" He shouted loudly.
Tan Yichen replied disapprovingly: "First of all, you are responsible for Yanyan's safety and everything. Was it your fault that she got caught in the rain? Yi Haotian scolded my woman, as a husband, shouldn't I stand up for her?"
Su Qing was shocked by Tan Yichen's words. She lowered her head and stood there, not hesitating anymore.
"You can come to me to argue for your love, why can't I solve it in my own way?"
Tan Yichen looked straight into Su Qing's eyes and said in a serious tone: "I agreed to let you come because I wanted to give you and Yi Haotian a chance to reconcile. Now things are settled. You can leave at any time." As he spoke, Su Qing looked at his determined eyes. She didn't expect that he would still consider her as carefully as before.
The moment he turned around, Su Qing's emotions suddenly burst out and he shouted, "I won't leave!"
Her figure quickly crossed the space and rushed to Tan Yichen, saying with tears in her voice: "I am willing to give up everything to protect her." Her tone was full of firmness and determination.
These words were like a torrent that hit Tan Yichen's heart. He was shocked by Su Qing's determination and fell into deep thought. Mu Ziyan, who was silently observing them at the window, clearly heard the words "I won't leave". However, she could not see through the mystery hidden in it.
Finally, Tan Yichen sighed and said "You can do whatever you want" before walking into the house. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, and he was surprised and admired Su Qing's decision.
When he came to the room and opened the door, he saw Mu Ziyan standing in front of the window! He knew that she saw everything.
Still smiling, he walked to her side. In a trance, he felt that her expression was complicated and unpredictable.
"Yanyan, what's wrong with you?" Tan Yichen held her hand and asked with concern.
Mu Ziyan did not evade and pointed directly to the question she wanted to ask: "Yi Chen, why did you attack Yi Haotian?"
Tan Yichen's eyes revealed deep thoughts. He gently let go of her hand, slowly sat back on the sofa, leaned on the soft backrest, and said in a firm tone: "This is a matter between us men."
Mu Ziyan was extremely shocked by this sudden answer, as if she was struck by an inexplicable force. She looked at Tan Yichen again, and saw that he had his eyes closed and was lying quietly on the sofa. A dull emotion surged in her heart. This was the first time she saw him ignore her words so much, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
The atmosphere in the room was heavy, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed to condense into a heavy feeling, making the two people silent in the space. The silence in the room was captured by the fine air particles, and even the usual hustle and bustle was shrouded in invisible silence. At this time, Yu Ma knocked on the door gently, breaking the silence and calling the two to go downstairs for dinner. Tan Yichen responded softly.
When Tan Yichen opened his eyes, he stared into Mu Ziyan's eyes, which revealed an extremely aggrieved look. He struggled internally, how should he tell her the truth without letting her bear the psychological burden?
He stood up and gently led her into his arms, as carefully as if catching a breeze. Her unique fragrance drifted in the air, as charming as the feeling she gave him. Tan Yichen closed his eyes, as if immersed in this fragrance, and his hands held her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.
Mu Ziyan did not make any movement, but just snuggled quietly in his arms, allowing him to hold her so gently.
Tan Yichen said softly: "Yanyan, life is always full of unpredictability and confusion. You just need to trust me and let me face it all." After that, he gently pushed away her hair from her forehead, and then wanted to kiss her lips.
At this moment, Mu Ziyan's heart was filled with ripples, and a hesitant expression appeared on her face. When Tan Yichen was about to kiss her, Mu Ziyan turned her head to the other side. Tan Yichen stopped in the air. Then he looked at her in disbelief. She rejected him. It seemed that she was angry.
He forced a smile, took her hand and said, "Let's go downstairs to eat first." Without giving her time to hesitate again, he took her out of the room and went downstairs.
As night fell, in the quiet moment after bathing, Tan Yichen was already sitting on the bed, immersed in replying to the messages on his phone. Mu Ziyan walked lightly to the other side of the bed, the hesitation lasted only for a moment, and then she lay down quietly.
Suddenly, Tan Yichen pulled her to his side like lightning and held her close under him.
Mu Ziyan's exclamation echoed in the air, "Ah..."
She stared at Tan Yichen's face with her eyes wide open, but she couldn't read his heart. He continued to speak with a look of understanding, "Yanyan, why did you reject my kiss just now?" His words rang out in the silence, like ripples slowly rippling in the lake of her heart.
Hearing this question, Mu Ziyan bit her lip lightly and couldn't help but think: How could this man still remember it?
"Because I am not satisfied with the answer you gave me." His words revealed a bit of persistence and determination.
"Yanyan, everything I do is out of care and protection for you. I know some things don't need too much explanation, but they may also bother you."
Mu Ziyan tried to push him away gently, not wanting to continue this conversation. However, this time, Tan Yichen did not stubbornly resist her refusal, he docilely moved a little further. Mu Ziyan lay down in her own position, covered herself with the quilt, and no longer gave him a chance.
On such a night, their respective thoughts surged like an undercurrent. Tan Yichen looked at Mu Ziyan's back, and his hands that wanted to hug her froze in mid-air, never daring to move forward again. He gently put her down again, covered her with the quilt, and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible.
