The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

At the end of the meeting, Lu Xinyue walked out of the conference room alone and walked briskly towards the elevator, looking forward to returning to the room to rest for a while. However, at the corner of the corridor, her sight inadvertently caught a familiar figure - Yi Haotian, who was standing there quietly, as if waiting for her arrival.

It was a long-awaited reunion. Since leaving his company, the two of them seemed to have lost contact. His appearance at this moment could not help but cause ripples in Lu Xinyue's heart. Her heart was filled with doubts and curiosity, as well as a hint of inexplicable expectation.

Their eyes met in the air, and Yi Haotian walked towards her. Even though they were only a few steps away, Lu Xinyue's heart was already filled with waves. She stared at his handsome face and tall figure, and every step he took was like stepping on the crest of the waves in her heart, making her nervous and excited. It turned out that the feeling of being moved by someone you like is so real and strong.

"Xinyue, it's been a long time. I'm really happy to see you today." Yi Haotian spoke first, his words filled with deep admiration, his eyes fixed on her.

She replied softly, "Boss Yi, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you have any advice?" Her tone was straightforward, so as not to show any abnormality in front of Yi Haotian. She tried her best to suppress the fluctuations in her heart, not wanting the other party to notice.

"I just heard your speech, it was really refreshing. I didn't expect that you have so much hidden strength. If you leave, it will be a loss for my company." Yi Haotian's words were still full of his usual humor and ease, as if he was trying to ease the heavy atmosphere of parting.

After hearing this, Lu Xinyue lowered her head slightly and chuckled in response. She replied modestly, "Boss Yi, you are too kind."

Suddenly, Yi Haotian changed the subject and said, "Su Qing and I plan to leave here and go to Country M to start a new life. The reason I saw you today is actually to say goodbye to you." As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xinyue raised her head in shock and stared at him, the uneasiness in her heart becoming more and more intense.

"You... are leaving? Why so suddenly?" she asked anxiously, her voice revealing deep concern and reluctance.

Yi Haotian took a deep breath and said slowly: "Years of waiting have become the past. We don't want to lose each other again, nor do we want to get into endless disputes. We just want to be together simply."

On the road of choosing love, she found herself ruthlessly eliminated before she even entered the competition. What a heavy blow. However, the scene in front of her at this moment has exceeded her imagination - the two of them have already entered a state of inseparable and heart-to-heart connection. Lu Xinyue's heart was filled with complex emotions. She was afraid that if she hesitated for a moment, she would not be able to suppress the grief in her heart and let the tears flow freely. She desperately wanted to escape from Yi Haotian's gaze and escape from this heartbreaking scene.

So she plucked up her courage and tried her best to say, "I wish you happiness in the future." As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around quickly and stepped onto the stairs with heavy but firm steps.

Yi Haotian knew Lu Xinyue's thoughts very well. He came to say goodbye on purpose, hoping that there would be no regrets when they parted. Deep in his heart, he sincerely hoped that Lu Xinyue could find her own love and spend the rest of her life with her beloved, happily. The pain of separation and parting between him and Su Qing for many years was difficult for others to understand and appreciate. Now, he poured all his relief and yearning for love into Su Qing, and he firmly believed that this emotion was so strong and sincere.

Qiu Yingjie sat alone on the soft sofa, his eyes fixed on the wine glass that was gently shaking in his hand. The scene before his eyes was like a subtle movie playing in his pupils. He had just clearly seen the conversation between Lu Xinyue and Yi Haotian, and could not help but feel a subtle flow of emotions. The atmosphere between the two seemed to have gone beyond the scope of simple friendship, which was his bold guess.

Lu Xinyue's crying involuntarily attracted his heart, and he wanted to explore the story behind it. He understood that although she did not have a stunning face like Mu Ziyan, Lu Xinyue had her own unique charm. She was an absolutely beautiful woman, and her beauty was no less than the best.

However, the maturity and competence she showed today deeply touched his heart. More importantly, Mu Ziyan was already Tan Yichen's wife, and he had never regarded Tan Yichen as an enemy. On the contrary, he deeply admired and regarded Tan Yichen as his role model. Over the years, Tan Yichen's outstanding achievements in this city were remarkable, but he himself could not match them.

He understood that the gap between him and Tan Yichen could not be made up by simple efforts and persistence. Among many talented people, Tan Yichen's status was unmatched, and he had great respect and admiration for this. If his father retired, he would probably have to join hands with Tan Yichen to create a future career together.

A series of crisp doorbell rings broke the quiet moment and pulled his chaotic thoughts back to reality. He walked forward slowly and calmly, and pushed the door open steadily. What came into view was Xing Feng, who stood there respectfully, like a stone sculpture.

"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Tan hopes to have dinner with you tonight. Would you like to honor me?" Xing Feng extended the invitation in a humble manner.

Qiu Yingjie couldn't figure out Tan Yichen's intentions. Although the other party was not his enemy, the verbal dispute this morning was indeed a bit tense, and it seemed that he really angered the other party. He knew very well that if he failed to keep the appointment today, he might encounter unpredictable difficulties in this city. Therefore, although he was a little uneasy, he decided to accept the invitation to maintain a harmonious relationship between the two parties.

"I will be there on time!" Xing Feng heard the firmness in the words and couldn't help but smile.

"I understand. We will meet in the restaurant on the sixth floor of the hotel at seven o'clock tonight. Please go ahead and I will convey your wishes to Mr. Tan later." Then he turned and left.

In a quiet night, during a phone conversation with Mu Ziyan, she learned that Su Qing was about to leave with Yi Haotian. Lu Xinyue's emotional inclination had long been known to everyone, and Yi Haotian's decision must have been fully informed to Lu Xinyue, which undoubtedly cast a deep ripple between the two.

As soon as they met this morning, Qiu Yingjie spoke provocatively to him, which made Tan Yichen furious and he almost wanted to subdue him immediately. However, they couldn't completely break up. During the meeting today, Qiu Yingjie looked at Lu Xinyue with a subtle look, which gave Tan Yichen a new idea: maybe he could try to match them up.

The lights in the restaurant are like stars, illuminating every corner. The warm yellow light hanging from the chandelier is like a curtain woven with gold threads, decorating the entire space warmly and romantically. The soft light sprinkles on the dining table, reflecting the exquisite tableware and tempting food, making people salivate.

Tan Yichen and Qiu Yingjie sat opposite each other. There was a sense of tension in the atmosphere. The communication between the two was brief and straightforward, without any unnecessary polite words.

"Mr. Tan, there is no need to test me anymore." Qiu Yingjie spoke frankly, his eyes revealing his deep admiration for Mu Ziyan. "I am indeed attracted by Mu Ziyan's beauty, but my desire stops there." His tone was firm and there was no compromise.

Tan Yichen slowly put down the cutlery in his hand, his eyes flashing with sharp and firm light. He turned to his friend named Qiu with a cold tone and asked, "Mr. Qiu, is it appropriate for you to speak so bluntly?" His words revealed unquestionable majesty.

He then leaned back in his chair, and said in a slightly softer but still firm tone: "My life is indeed more fulfilling and wonderful with her." His eyes were deep and focused, as if he was recalling the good times he had spent with her.

Then he leaned forward and expressed his determination with words that weighed a thousand pounds: "She is the most precious treasure in my life. I will defend our world to the death and will never allow anyone to invade or trample on it!" Every word and every sentence was filled with determination and perseverance.

Qiu Yingjie was deeply shocked by Tan Yichen's love. There have been rumors that Tan Yichen is not interested in women, but the fact that they have not yet announced their marriage makes him feel mysterious. Behind this sense of mystery, there may be a deep protection for an important person.

He had a plan for the future in his mind. He would shoulder the responsibility of being a father, and working hand in hand with Tan Yichen would undoubtedly become his ally in consolidating his prestige. Today, he took a deep breath and decided to suppress it in his heart.

“Mr. Qiu, the shot your father shot at me almost put me in a desperate situation. At that moment when I was on the verge of death, the fire of resentment was deeply buried in my heart. After that incident, I almost lost Yanyan's true love for me!” He poured out all his resentment in a single sentence, and then stood up decisively, with a resolute back, no longer looking back at the restaurant filled with the atmosphere of fighting.

Qiu Yingjie fell into deep thought for a moment, and Tan Yichen's words were like a stream of clear water that penetrated his heart. At this moment, he actually felt the magic and real existence of love. In the past, he was like a wild horse, unruly and sneered at love, regarding it as fleeting vanity and playfulness. He had never poured sincere emotions into anyone, and was even more unwilling to let others become his weak points, so as not to become a bargaining chip in the hands of others to threaten him. However, Tan Yichen's transformation made him have a new understanding of love. Perhaps true love can make people put their own life and death aside.

Indulged in endless thoughts, he stood up in an instant, as if he was going to withdraw from this noisy state of mind. At this moment, a touch of the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled into his heart like a poem, warm and subtle. He glanced at Lu Xinyue sitting alone in front of the dining table, with a melancholy face, and fell into a vortex of contemplation. In front of him, the carefully prepared food seemed to have lost all its temptation, and was quietly placed there, without a sound.

Lu Xinyue's posture revealed a hint of reserve. Under her slightly lowered eyes, a strand of smooth hair gently fell, appropriately covering half of her dreamy face. Under the soft reflection of the light, her jade-like skin looked even more crystal clear, as if with a subtle luster, which made people yearn for it.

Qiu Yingjie looked at this scene and it was like a picture scroll in his heart! He was actually moved.

He stood up and walked towards Lu Xinyue very gentlemanly.
