The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Episode 73: Suspicion between Two People

After returning to Country M, Qiu Yingjie faced his father Qiu Jinyong and frankly told him his true feelings. It turned out that he was deeply in love with Lu Xinyue. This news was like a sudden cold wind, which surprised Qiu Jinyong, who was used to his son devoting all his energy to his career. His outstanding son, who had always been a little too calm and firm, also encountered the turbulent love in the sea of ​​emotions. At this moment, Qiu Yingjie was like a moth to a flame. The passion of love not only bound his heart tightly, but also showed his tender side in front of his father.

Qiu Jinyong asked slowly and calmly about the identity of the girl. He knew Yingjie's character very well. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult to shake it, especially for those people or things that deeply attracted him. Therefore, he decided not to confront Yingjie head-on, so as not to stir up more waves.

"She is Lu Dehai's daughter." Qiu Jinyong revealed the answer.

This answer was like a torrent crashing into Yingjie's heart, making him unable to calm down. Qiu Yingjie was deeply confused. Why was his father so excited? Qiu Jinyong held the armrest of the chair and sighed deeply.

"Father. I really love her! And..."

"And what?" Qiu Jinyong asked hurriedly.

"She is already my woman, I must be responsible for her!"

Qiu Jinyong was surprised to see Qiu Yingjie willing to make such a huge marriage promise for a woman. Looking back at the many secrets between Lu Dehai and Long Zhaoxian, those countless bad deeds could not escape Tan Yichen's sharp insight. At this moment, for them, involving Lu Dehai is equivalent to putting themselves in a dangerous situation. If Long Zhaoxian really breaks up with Tan Yichen one day, they are afraid that they will lose Tan Yichen's help in L City. But this matter needs to be cautious, and Qiu Yingjie must not be aware of it. After all, there is no evidence now.

"Yingjie, my son, I have carefully considered your affairs. However, I cannot give you a clear answer at this time. As a father and the leader of a gang, I have multiple responsibilities. I not only need to consider our family, but also many loyal subordinates. We must focus on the long-term.

Qiu Yingjie has always regarded his father Qiu Jinyong as a role model since he was young. Although he holds a pivotal position in this city, he is always a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. Yingjie deeply understands this conversation and nods in response. He understands that his father weighs various factors and thinks carefully before making any decision.

When he was about to turn around and leave, Qiu Yingjie's steps suddenly became heavy and slow. He stopped and said with deep pleading: "Father, I am sincere in this love. I hope you can protect me." After that, he straightened his back, revealed a firm will, and strode out of the room.

Qiu Jinyong sat upright on his office chair, his face showing a melancholy that made people feel pity. He was at an age when he could have enjoyed a leisurely retirement life, but because Qiu Yingjie had no intention of inheriting the family business, he had been unable to unload the burden on his shoulders and spend his remaining years in peace.

He knew nothing about the identity of this mysterious woman, Lu Xinyue, but she possessed incredible charm, which could make the cold-blooded Qiu Yingjie fall in love with her and become obsessed with her. Qiu Jinyong immediately called his men and solemnly ordered them to thoroughly investigate all the background information of Lu Xinyue. Only when all the details were clear could he put aside his doubts and truly settle down.

Qiu Yingjie paced back and forth in the room, his heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. He anxiously hoped that his father would give him a clear answer, but time seemed to be stagnant, long and hopeless.

Since that day, he had lost contact with Xinyue, which troubled him greatly. He was afraid that Lu Xinyue would misunderstand him as a heartless person who did not keep his promises and was irresponsible.

The anxiety in his heart made it difficult for him to calm down. If he dialed that familiar number, what words should he use to explain his situation and eliminate Xinyue's misunderstanding? Every thought swirled in his mind, but he could not form a clear answer.

This was his first experience of the torment of love.

Facing Qiu Yingjie's departure, Lu Xinyue resolutely chose to let it go. The focus of her life has shifted to her career.

In her eyes, the test of love seemed too fragile, and she couldn't afford to play with it or wait. Therefore, she decided to devote all her energy to her career to forget the things that made her unhappy. On the road of career, she found a sense of existence, as if only in this way could she better face the challenges of life and move forward bravely.

However, the silence of the night seemed to carry the memory of time. She walked alone on the quiet streets, trying to temporarily forget the emptiness and loneliness in her heart in the drunkenness of alcohol. Those memories, like an indelible movie, were constantly replaying in her mind, especially the memory of Qiu Yingjie. No matter how hard she tried, she could never forget it.

She longed to forget the feelings in her heart and stay away from the person who made her feel lost. However, in her dreams every night, the figure called Qiu Yingjie would appear in the most perfect posture. The tenderness in the dream and the cruelty in reality seemed to form a deep rift between the two, tearing her thoughts in half. Although the dream and reality collided with each other, her heart still had a deep attachment to that memory.

She was in so much pain that she couldn't help herself. The more she wanted to forget, the more she missed him!

Holding the phone tightly in her hand, her number was clearly visible, but she hesitated again and again, and her fingertips still couldn't touch the green call button. Deep in her heart, there was a fear. If she was just a passer-by in his life, wouldn't her dignity be toyed with again? The gradually blurred vision in front of her made Lu Xinyue gradually fall into a chaotic consciousness.

Just when she was about to faint, a strong arm gently held her waist and supported her steadily in his arms. Lu Xinyue looked up and saw Yi Haotian. His appearance made Lu Xinyue want to break free from this sudden support and keep a certain distance from him.

Yi Haotian was dumbfounded, unable to believe that the beauty in front of him was the once radiant and graceful Lu Xinyue. She had always taken good care of her image, like a treasure, but now she was drinking alone on the noisy street, which was really puzzling. A series of doubts surged into his mind like a tide, and he stared at her thin body, her face as pale as snow, which made people feel pity. Under the cover of the night, her image seemed so fragile and mysterious, which made Yi Haotian feel mixed emotions in his heart, which was hard to describe.

In the quiet air, before Yi Haotian finished speaking, Lu Xinyue was already nauseous. Like a boat trapped in the waves, she curled up in the corner and began to vomit. The heartburn she felt was like a prairie fire, making her feel even more tormented. She even wanted to faint to escape this endless pain.

Noticing her strangeness, Yi Haotian hurried forward and supported her as she was about to fall. With a firm gaze, he took the bottle from her hand without hesitation, leaving her no room for hesitation or resistance. Then, he picked her up with steady and powerful steps and walked towards his car. His eyes revealed deep concern and worry. In fact, he had already regarded her as a sister.

Yi Haotian gently led Lu Xinyue to a quiet hotel suite, then placed her safely on the soft bed and carefully tucked the quilt in for her. He wanted to leave this cozy place as quickly as possible, because they were alone in the same room, and he was afraid that Su Qing would have unnecessary misunderstandings.

Just as he was about to turn off the warm yellow light at the bedside, Lu Xinyue's phone suddenly rang. Without seeing the caller ID, Yi Haotian rejected the call out of instinct. However, the ringing continued unyieldingly, and he was afraid that this abrupt sound would disturb Lu Xinyue's tranquility.

So, he quickly stepped forward and answered the phone eagerly. Before the other party could speak, Yi Haotian explained concisely and clearly: "Lu Xinyue is resting at the moment. Please call me tomorrow if you have anything." As soon as he finished speaking, he decisively turned off his phone to avoid any interruptions.

On the other end of the phone, Qiu Yingjie held the receiver and fell into deep thought. He heard the other party say that Lu Xinyue was resting, and he couldn't help but wonder if someone else had appeared in her room? She hadn't contacted him for a long time. Was he just a hurried and fleeting passerby in her long night?

Was it just his wishful thinking that he had begged his father to make their relationship a reality? Didn't she love him, or was she just a woman who was adept at love affairs? Wasn't his understanding of her deep and thorough enough these days?

Qiu Yingjie knew that his thoughts could no longer drift, because such thoughts would really bring him to the brink of collapse. Although the man's voice had aroused his strong anger, he gradually found that his possessiveness for Lu Xinyue was quietly becoming stronger. This made him decide that he must return to China to find her and declare his sovereignty.
