The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

The phone rang harshly in the silent night, breaking the tranquility of the night and waking Qiu Yingjie from his deep sleep. He reached out his hand in a daze and caught the outline of the phone. His eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and anger. He said in a slightly tired and somewhat stiff voice, "What's the matter?"

Listening to the message coming from the other end of the phone, Qiu Yingjie slowly sat up from the bed. His thoughts gradually became clearer, and the haze in his mind gradually dissipated. His facial expression gradually became serious, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he said solemnly: "I know." Then he decisively hung up the phone.

Lu Xinyue lay quietly beside him, her hair scattered on the soft pillow, her naked body looming, exuding a touch of tenderness and elegance. The warmth of the quilt had long slipped from her body as time passed, and she was immersed in a deep dream. At this moment, Qiu Yingjie, looking at this warm scene, reverberated in his mind the passionate lovemaking of last night, and the incomparable satisfaction spread in his heart.

The corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smug smile. At this moment, he knew that he had found a soulmate, and his heart was full of expectations and hopes for the future. At this moment, he was more certain to tell himself that he loved this woman, and last night was not an impulse, but a verification.

He slowly raised his hand and lifted the quilt that only covered her lower body. Then, a large area of ​​bright red suddenly jumped in his sight like a flame, piercing deeply into his pupils. This was a scene he had never seen before and never thought he would see. The red bloodstain was like an unspoken message, silently but prominently showing the meaning it carried.

He seemed to be in a moment of stagnation, his arms were frozen in the air, and his heart was trembling wildly. A strong and surging impulse, as if aroused by the unexpressed excitement in his heart, urgently called him to pick up his beloved girl. But he didn't do it after all! The message from the phone just now was an order that could not be refused. He had to rush back to Country M immediately. He gently covered her with a quilt, kissed her deeply on the cheek, put on his clothes and left.

A subtle sound of a door closing filled the quiet air, and Lu Xinyue slowly opened her sleepy eyes. At the moment Qiu Yingjie answered the phone, she had already woken up from her deep sleep, just lying there quietly, waiting for his reaction.

She slowly got up, the slight pain in her body honestly told her the fiery passion they had yesterday, and began to put on her clothes. However, the moment she turned around, her eyes fell on the glaring bloodstain on the bed sheet, and then she truly understood why Qiu Yingjie seemed hesitant just now. Sitting on the bed, she gently stroked the bloodstain with her hand.

This is her first time.

After experiencing the physical contact between the two, she was still confused and could not accurately confirm whether she was deeply in love. However, this devotion ended up in vain, which made her feel lost. Especially when Qiu Yingjie left without saying goodbye, this silent departure was like casting a heavy shadow on her heart, making her feel unprecedented pain. Her heart was like it had been through wind and rain, leaving only endless sorrow.

Silently wiping away tears, I was lost in memories. Looking out the window, everything was so blurry, just like the traces of the past were gradually covered by the dark clouds of time. However, I firmly knew in my heart that no matter how sad I was, yesterday's sorrow would eventually pass away with the wind, just like the dark clouds would eventually dissipate.

Lu Xinyue stood up slowly, her steps were heavy, but she was ready to face everything. She walked to the mirror in the bathroom and began to tidy herself up in a solemn manner. After a moment, she stared at herself in the mirror again, and her once moist eyes now revealed a firm light. This one-night stand was also buried in the deepest memory in her heart, sealed forever!

Lu Tianming was in the house, and with a sharp look he called out to Lu Xinyue who was about to go upstairs.

"Where on earth did you go yesterday?" he asked seriously.

Lu Xinyue slowly turned around and faced Lu Tianming, with a scornful smile on her lips: "Oh? Don't you really know where I stayed yesterday?"

Such an exposure made Lu Tianming look a little embarrassed. He still wanted to try to find out how much of the truth Lu Xinyue knew.

"I don't understand what you are saying!" He pretended to be calm.

"Hmph, didn't your wishful thinking fail?" Lu Xinyue asked back coldly, her tone revealing deep disappointment and anger.

After hearing this, Lu Tianming put his hands behind his back and stopped looking at her. He turned his head and said coldly, "I think you are crazy. I don't understand what you are talking about."

These words were like a sharp sword piercing Lu Xinyue's heart. Only then did she realize that her brother was such a scheming person.

She angrily approached Lu Tianming, accusing him with a sharp gaze: "I used to think that you and I had a sincere relationship between brother and sister, but I didn't expect that you were better at calculating than anyone else. No matter how bad Mu Yunting is, at least he didn't force Mu Ziyan to do bad things. And you? Why? To defeat Tan Yichen and get Mu Ziyan? Or for your career? I am now worthless and was crushed and abandoned. Isn't it all because of your conspiracy?"

Lu Xinyue's voice was filled with anger and sadness, and her accusation made the whole room silent.

The moment he heard this, Lu Tianming's fingers clenched involuntarily, and he quickly grabbed her arm, his eyes flashing with nervousness and anxiety, and he asked hurriedly: "Has Qiu Yingjie really left?" The moment he asked this question, it seemed that all the doubts were revealed. Lu Xinyue's heart was trembling, she couldn't believe that her guess had become a cruel reality.

Her heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer, and she seemed to be in deep shock. Those fragments that originally existed only in her imagination were now ruthlessly revealed by reality, making her feel an indescribable pain. She struggled on the edge of belief, her heart was in turmoil, and she was helpless and powerless to face all this.

Lu Tianming instantly realized all the secrets that he had accidentally revealed in his haste! In the end, he had no choice but to loosen his hands that were tightly holding Xinyue's arms, and walked out of the door dejectedly with a heavy heart.

Several days had passed, and Lu Xinyue still looked restless as she sat at her desk, her fingertips unconsciously sliding across the screen of her phone. She was hoping that Qiu Yingjie's phone would ring suddenly, breaking the dull silence. Could it be that their relationship really only ended with a passionate collision, with no lingering feelings at all? Did he really have no feelings for her at all? Lu Xinyue kept trying to figure out Qiu Yingjie's thoughts, trying to find a clue from them. However, the reality made her feel extremely powerless, and she could only lean back in her chair in a daze, feeling lost.

However, in her mind, the unforgettable night still emerged from time to time. Their smile at each other, the warmth and closeness at that moment, seemed to have turned into doubts and entanglements now. Was it really as she thought, that all this was just a short one-night stand? Did Qiu Yingjie just disappear from her world out of thin air?

From the moment he knew that Mu Ziyan was pregnant, Tan Yichen had been protecting her like a national treasure, and had devoted all his energy to building a solid protective barrier for her. In order to ensure her safety and comfort, the family sent extra staff, and the thoughtful arrangements made her life meticulous. However, this excessive protection troubled Mu Ziyan, and she was miserable, feeling restrained and inconvenienced.

Although she knew deep down that this was an expression of deep affection and love, she still felt oppressed by the excessive attention.

Mu Ziyan sat on a lounge chair by the pool, delicately stroking her flat belly. Although the child could not feel it yet, the gentle touch was already a symbol of her expectation. The expectation, like the warm sun, illuminated every corner of her heart, allowing her to immerse herself in the tranquility and beauty of the moment with a smile.

"Sister Yan!" A soft call broke the silence. Su Qing's sudden appearance filled the air with unexpected warmth.

Mu Ziyan looked up and saw Su Qing standing behind her. She seemed to be showing a bit of shyness today, which was different from the past. It was a kind of reserved and restrained gentleness, like a flower quietly blooming in the spring breeze.

She smiled and asked, "Su Qing, you seem to have something to tell me?" Her tone revealed a formal yet intimate attitude.

Su Qing nodded slightly, as if organizing his thoughts, and then said: "Haotian and I have decided that we will embark on a journey to Country M in a month and plan to settle down there." His words revealed determination and expectation.

Upon hearing the news, Mu Ziyan couldn't help but stand up excitedly. Seeing this, Su Qing quickly stepped forward and held her steadily.

"Look at you, you're even more excited than me!" Su Qing said jokingly, with a hint of relief in his tone.

The two good friends have been together for a long time, and their feelings have already taken root deep in each other's hearts. Now this deep friendship has been sublimated into a sisterly affection.

"Su Qing, I'm really happy for you!" He held her hand tightly and expressed his blessings with joy.

"Sister Yan, I'm deeply sorry that I can't accompany you until the baby is born. Although I really want to see how handsome he is with my own eyes." Su Qing said in a joking tone, revealing a hint of regret.

Mu Ziyan responded with a hint of shyness: "How did you determine that the child must be a boy?" She gently stroked her belly, as if whispering to the baby in her belly.

Su Qing chuckled and said, "People often say that boys are more like their mothers. We hope that the baby can inherit your gentleness and beauty, and not be as domineering as Brother Chen."

After hearing this, the two couldn't help but burst into laughter, and their laughter echoed in the air, as if all their troubles were dispelled by this laughter.

Tan Yichen walked in from the gate, breaking the quiet moment with a hint of curiosity and a joking tone: "Hey, you two are laughing so happily, what's the good news? Share it with me too."

At that moment, their eyes met unexpectedly, and there was an unspoken warmth in each other's eyes, and happy smiles bloomed on each other's faces. Tan Yichen gently put his hand on Mu Ziyan's shoulder, and the two stood side by side, facing Su Qing.

"Brother, Haotian and I will go to Country M to settle down soon!" Su Qing whispered the word "brother", which made Tan Yichen stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be some deep thoughts in the depths of his eyes.

"Su Qing, you finally called me brother again." Tan Yichen's tone revealed indescribable joy and relief. The air between the three of them seemed to solidify, but there was an indescribable sense of integration flowing in it.

Tan Yichen was filled with joy. The knot in his heart that had been bothering him for many years was finally untied today. Su Qing and Yi Haotian's relationship finally came to fruition. He sincerely wished them well!
