The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Mu Ziyan stood alone, her eyes showing deep understanding, she looked at Yi Chen who was sitting on the sofa surrounded by smoke. He, who always maintained his demeanor and calmness, actually smoked a cigar at this moment. She mustered up her courage, slowly walked towards him, and stopped not far from him.

"Yi Chen, I really didn't know you were here." She spoke softly with a slightly hoarse voice.

Tan Yichen was still immersed in the smoke, without looking up. His brows were slightly furrowed, and it was extremely obvious that something was on his mind.

"Xinyue invited me to go out and relax, and we met that gentleman as soon as we entered the door." When she mentioned the man, Tan Yichen's stern face finally showed some movement, and he slowly raised his head and looked at her.

"I don't mean to blame you." He said, his voice steady and calm.

However, Zi Yan's tears were already welling up in her eyes. She sobbed softly, "The kiss you gave me just now was clearly a punishment. Why didn't you listen to my explanation?"

Seeing this, Tan Yichen immediately put out the cigar in his hand, quickly stood up and walked towards her. He stared at her, his eyes full of tenderness and concern. Deep in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh, who can not be attracted by such a woman?

His wife originally thought that he was angry because she went out without informing him, but she didn't know that he was actually jealous of her!

"Yanyan, I feel deeply that this is by no means accidental!"

Looking into her eyes, he slowly approached and held her waist tightly. The closeness between them made both of them feel an indescribable closeness.

Tan Yichen said to her softly and solemnly: "Do you know who that man was just now?"

Mu Ziyan shook her head in confusion, with bewilderment in her eyes.

"He is the gangster's biological son. The last time I was seriously injured, it was because of the shooting by his father."

Hearing this, Mu Ziyan's face suddenly turned pale. Her body seemed to have lost its support, and the feeling of powerlessness surged like a tide, making her almost collapse to the ground. Tan Yichen hugged her tightly, wrapped his arms around her, and placed her in his arms. He told her: "Don't worry, it's all over."

Mu Ziyan's voice was filled with a slight cry, and emotions spread in this brief silence. She hugged the man tightly with her arms, and her body trembled slightly in his warm embrace. Deep in her heart, she inexplicably felt a sense of uneasiness, like a faint premonition whispering in her ear, making her feel uneasy that something bad was about to happen.

The man's appearance was incomparable, with a handsome face and clear lines. However, his eyes were as sharp as a sharpened blade, flickering through the light and shadow, as if hiding some secrets in his deep eyes.

Tan Yichen gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his eyes showing deep pity. He stared at her charming appearance, a warm current surged in his heart, and slowly moved closer to her lips. This time, she did not dodge, because deep in her heart, her longing for him had already flooded.

The longing between the two was released in this gentle kiss, like a burning flame. Tan Yichen couldn't help but pick her up and walked to the bed in the bedroom. He placed her gently and carefully on the soft bed, then took off his coat, pressed on her, and kissed every part of her body.

After the two of them had gone through a lot, they leaned against the head of the bed and snuggled up to each other.

Tan Yichen checked the time on his phone, then got out of bed and put on his clothes.

"I have a meeting soon. I'll call Su Qing and ask her to send you home! It's too dangerous here. Qiu Feng should be staying in this hotel."

When Mu Ziyan heard that Tan Yichen was going to send her home, she immediately got out of bed, even forgetting that she was naked.

Tan Yichen picked up a thin blanket from the bed and covered her with it, wrapping her in his arms lovingly.

"Why, you don't want to leave me?"

"Yichen, I feel like I'm losing my self-worth if I always stay at home! Didn't you promise me before we got married that I would have my own job?" Tan Yichen's face darkened. He picked her up and put her on the bed. He then sat beside her sideways.

What should he do to make Mu Ziyan understand that marrying him is an extremely dangerous thing. Besides, his little wife really didn't realize how many men her beauty could attract... It was really a headache.

"Yanyan, can we discuss this matter after I get home? You go home with Su Qing today and have a good rest for a few days. I will deal with things here as soon as possible and will be back soon." Tan Yichen decided to calm her down first. After all, this is not something that can be solved with just a few words.

Mu Ziyan leaned on his chest and nodded reluctantly.

Along the way, Mu Ziyan leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery. She sent a message to Xinyue to tell her that she was going home. Su Qing saw Mu Ziyan's listless face through the rearview mirror, and then she realized that Tan Yichen had made her unhappy.

"Have you ever considered finding someone else to protect you?" This sentence suddenly awakened Mu Ziyan who was still in a daze.

"What did you say?" he asked Su Qing puzzledly.

Su Qing smiled and said, "Haotian and I want to go back to Country M to live together. We want to live our own life." Her face was filled with a happy smile.

Mu Ziyan sat up straight and answered her question formally: "Su Qing, I support your decision. You don't have to consider me, Tan Yichen will definitely protect me. I wish you happiness!"

"Thank you. But I just have this idea temporarily, so I want to say hello to you in advance..." Su Qing said slowly!

"Yeah, I see!" She turned her head and looked out the window thoughtfully. She really supported the love between Su Qing and Yi Haotian. After so many years of suffering, the two finally got married. She would let her go. This was something she had to be sure of.

After entering the house, she leaned against the window. Her fingers slowly moved on the surface of the phone, stroking it endlessly. Her heart was uneasy, and she hesitated whether to press the familiar dial button. However, in the end, she chose to send a message to Tan Yichen in the form of a text message. She knew very well that she did not want to be a trouble to him, and did not want to be a burden and a hindrance to him.

Surprisingly, just as she sent the message, Tan Yichen called right after. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she stared at the flashing light on the phone screen.

"Yi Chen," her voice was filled with imperceptible tenderness and anticipation.

"Yanyan, I'll be back in two days. Be good at home and don't let your mind wander." Tan Yichen's advice made her feel like a spoiled child. Despite this, she still longed for more of his love.

She responded softly, her tone full of obedience and warmth.

After hanging up the phone, Mu Ziyan's heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion. She lay on the soft bed and soon fell asleep with Tan Yichen's sweet words on the phone just now.

At dawn the next day, Tan Yichen had just stepped out of the elevator when he saw Qiu Yingjie standing alone by the railing, waiting for good news. Tan Yichen gestured to Xing Feng, asking him to go to the meeting room first.

Tan Yichen slowly approached Qiu Feng and said jokingly in a graceful manner: "The wind today seems unusual. It actually gives Mr. Qiu some free time." His tone was expressionless, but the joking meaning in it was clearly visible.

Qiu Yingjie raised his head expressionlessly and met Tan Yichen's eyes. His voice was full of arrogance: "Tan Yichen, I have a crush on Mu Ziyan."

Hearing this, Tan Yichen involuntarily grasped Qiu Yingjie's collar, and his anger seemed to burst out of his body. However, Qiu Yingjie laughed, and his laughter revealed a contemptuous and confident meaning: "Sure enough, you also have a soft spot." He struggled to break free from Tan Yichen's restraints, and then walked towards the meeting room.

Watching Qiu Yingjie's resolute departure, Tan Yichen's eyes burst into complex emotions, mixed with bottomless hatred and firm determination. Regardless of whether his actions were out of temptation or sincerity, the threat to Yanyan was no different from a violent storm, enough to stir up every bit of peace around. In his heart, any attempt to touch Yanyan's heart was like touching a forbidden area, which could not be crossed. His position was unwavering, and he protected Yanyan's purity and tranquility with an indestructible determination.

During the meeting, Tan Yichen and Qiu Yingjie sat opposite each other, and there was a tense atmosphere of confrontation between them. Their eyes were fixed on each other, with complicated expressions on their faces, but each other's thoughts were as difficult to guess as the abyss.

Suddenly, solemn applause broke out in the conference hall, and then the host announced: "Next, we have the honor to invite Ms. Lu Xinyue, the vice president of Lu Group, to give us a wonderful speech." As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall instantly became solemn and expectant.

Lu Xinyue walked to the stage calmly, without any speech documents in her hands. She stood in an elegant and confident posture and began to speak. Her words were clear, her insights were unique, and her suggestions were practical. Every word flowed out of her mouth like a stream of water, making people feel comfortable and natural.

After hearing Lu Xinyue's words, Qiu Yingjie couldn't help but look up at the stage. Standing there was a young woman in her twenties, but she looked so capable and powerful in a white formal dress. The formal dress seemed to be her battle robe, which perfectly set off her young but firm image. Her words revealed a kind of maturity and stability, which was completely different from the one I saw yesterday.

Qiu Yingjie stopped looking at Tan Yichen and sat up straight, listening intently to Lu Xinyue's beautiful speech. Tan Yichen certainly noticed Qiu Yingjie's unusualness and looked at him meaningfully.
