The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

At the precise stroke of seven o'clock, the night slowly unfolded like a poem, and a carefully prepared grand banquet opened brilliantly in the magnificent hall. Tan Yichen walked steadily to the side of the stage, gently took Mu Ziyan's hand, and led her to a quiet place aside, asking her to wait there for a while. This banquet was different. There was no complicated hosting session. Only Tan Yichen strode onto the stage. The whole space seemed to be silent for him, waiting for his wonderful performance.

"Dear distinguished guests, it is a great honor for us to have you here at our banquet today. I would like to express my warm welcome and sincere gratitude to you all with my most sincere heart." Tan Yichen bowed deeply to the audience with a respectful smile.

Immediately, warm applause broke out in the venue, surging like a tide.

Under the bright lights, Qiu Yingjie, Lu Xinyue, Yi Haotian, Mu Yunting, Chen Anqi and Su Qing all stood there, witnessing the happy moment tonight. They were among the crowd, as dazzling as stars.

"Here, please allow me to solemnly introduce my love, Ms. Mu Ziyan, to everyone. She will share the joy and glory of this moment with us. Let us give her the most sincere welcome with encouraging applause." Tan Yichen's words were full of affection and expectation. He then stepped forward, holding his beloved's hand and walked to the center of the stage.

When Mu Ziyan stepped into everyone's sight, the originally enthusiastic applause stopped abruptly, replaced by silence. Then, a low and admiring "Wow" echoed in the air. Everyone was shocked by Mu Ziyan's incomparable beauty, as if time had stopped at this moment. Tan Yichen knew that Mu Ziyan's beauty had surpassed all words. Her appearance, like a beautiful landscape, added endless color and charm to this night.

The pride in Tan Yichen's heart at the moment was clearly visible on his face. He held Mu Ziyan's hand and told the story of the two of them affectionately.

"Ms. Mu Ziyan and I got married on x month x day of this year. Because she is introverted and doesn't like noise, we chose to keep this joy quietly and did not announce our marriage to the outside world. I deeply regret that I was unable to prepare a grand wedding for her, so that she could shine more brightly at this special moment. Today, I hope to present her with the wedding ring I have prepared in a formal and affectionate way. This is not just a simple ring, but also a testimony of my deep and lasting love for her. I know the weight of this ring, which carries all my promises and expectations for her. I look forward to the fact that in the days to come, we can work together to go through every stage of life and let this love become deeper and deeper in the long river of time. This ring is my most sincere apology and most affectionate promise to her."

Mu Ziyan stared at Tan Yichen in amazement. His words were gentle and elegant, and every word was like a spring breeze that touched her heart. She was moved and watched with tears in her eyes as Tan Yichen slowly opened the exquisite ring box.

The box contained a dazzling American square diamond ring. The huge diamond sparkled with an indescribable brilliance under the light, just like the flame of love. Tan Yichen gently held out the ring, and amid the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, he carefully put it on.

The two held hands, closely connected. Tan Yichen pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips deeply. At this moment, Mu Ziyan was caught off guard, but she did not resist at all, just indulged in his strong love, letting him kiss her deeply, feeling his warmth and deep love.

Under the stage, blessings and cheers rose and fell, gathering into a warm ocean. The flashlights of reporters flickered like stars, capturing the moments of their happiness.

Tan Yichen gently moved away from her lips, but still hugged her tightly. The two seemed to be the embodiment of wisdom and happiness, emitting a unique and dazzling light under the spotlight.

Tan Yichen adjusted his mood, turned to the crowd with a solemn attitude, and continued affectionately: "I have an exciting news to share with you. I am about to become a father. My wife is pregnant, and this joyful moment has lasted for more than a month. We are all looking forward to the arrival of this new life, he/she will bring new hope and happiness to our lives."

Immersed in the endless joy, Lu Xinyue, Chen Anqi, and Su Qing were already in tears and excited in the audience. They were sincerely happy for Mu Ziyan's happiness and offered their most sincere blessings. Mu Ziyan looked up and saw the warm cheers of her relatives and friends. She felt deeply the richness of life and couldn't help but sigh, sighing at this wonderful moment.

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to every friend present. Yanyan and I feel deeply honored to feel everyone's enthusiasm and sincere blessings. In order to create a pleasant night together, we have carefully prepared a series of performances. You are free to enjoy this joy and excitement." He bowed slightly like a gentleman again, held Mu Ziyan's hand tightly, and walked off the stage together.

Under everyone's gaze, Tan Yichen led Mu Ziyan to the table in a gentle manner and gently advised her to take a rest. Mu Ziyan responded with a faint smile, but her inner excitement surged like a tide. This was the first time she truly felt Tan Yichen's incomparable charm and extraordinary deeds, which shocked her.

A sudden cough broke the silence around them, and a series of loud sounds echoed in the air. Tan Yichen and Mu Ziyan looked at the source of the disturbance tacitly. What came into view was Lu Xinyue's face with a naughty smirk.

"Mr. Tan, your gentlemanly demeanor is truly unparalleled. I'm afraid all the men at this banquet will be eclipsed by your brilliance!" Tan Yichen heard the joke in these words. He knew very well the deep sisterly friendship between Lu Xinyue and Mu Ziyan, and at this moment her words were full of sincere blessings for Mu Ziyan.

"Although I am the protagonist today, what Mr. Lu said is too strong. Everyone who comes here today is an irreplaceable outstanding talent in our business field. This naturally includes our partner, Mr. Qiu." Tan Yichen deliberately said loudly. The purpose is to spread the news of his cooperation with Qiu Yingjie.

When Lu Xinyue heard Qiu Yingjie's name, her face suddenly darkened, as if covered by a layer of haze. Mu Ziyan keenly caught this change and finally realized the reason why Lu Xinyue had been in a low mood these days.

Mu Ziyan then whispered to Tan Yichen beside her in her unique gentle tone: "Yichen, I want to sit alone with Xinyue for a while, can you give us some private space?" Her tone revealed her concern and understanding for Lu Xinyue.

After hearing this, Tan Yichen responded gently: "Of course, you should also take care of your health and don't overwork yourself." He then turned around and said to Lu Xinyue: "Then please, Mr. Lu, take care of Yanyan for me!"

Lu Xinyue smiled and nodded.

Tan Yichen walked slowly forward, his lips slightly raised, revealing a charming smile, and whispered in his heart: "Lu Xinyue, let's see if you can keep this joy." He suddenly raised his eyes and saw Qiu Yingjie standing alone outside the hallway, holding a wine glass in his hand, his figure looked particularly lonely under the light. He knew that the best was yet to come. So he walked towards Qiu Yingjie without hesitation.

Mu Ziyan stared at Lu Xinyue. She held Lu Xinyue's hand tightly and said in a pleading tone: "Xinyue, can you tell me everything? Aren't we friends who can talk about anything?" Lu Xinyue raised her head slightly, facing Mu Ziyan's expectant eyes, and suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt surge in her heart. She nodded.

Afterwards, Lu Xinyue unreservedly told Qiu Yingjie everything that had happened between her and Qiu Yingjie, as well as the complicated changes in her heart during these days. Every word and every sentence was like a sharp blade, piercing Mu Ziyan's heart. After listening, Mu Ziyan's face changed unpredictably, sometimes red and sometimes white, as if the waves in her heart were surging.

She couldn't believe that such a thing would happen to Lu Xinyue. The shock and heartache intertwined, making her emotions complicated. She knew that this heavy burden should not be borne by Lu Xinyue alone. What she needed was companionship, understanding and support. Therefore, Mu Ziyan silently held Lu Xinyue's hand tightly, as if passing on her strength.

"Xinyue, I'm deeply sorry. I didn't realize that you were in such deep pain." Mu Ziyan's words were filled with endless regret, and tears quietly slid down. Seeing this, Lu Xinyue quickly handed over a tissue and said nervously: "My aunt, please don't cry. Today is your big day. If Tan Yichen saw you like this, I'm afraid I can't bear his anger." As soon as she finished speaking, she successfully changed the atmosphere from sadness to relaxation. The corners of Mu Ziyan's mouth rose slightly, and her tears gradually stopped.

Chen Anqi's sudden appearance broke the tranquility of their world. Mu Ziyan suddenly became excited and stood up from her chair as if she had met an old friend. She rushed towards Chen Anqi like a fluttering deer and hugged her tightly. Chen Anqi gently patted Mu Ziyan's back in her unique way, giving her comfort and warmth.

Lu Xinyue stared for a moment, feeling the warmth and harmony in the atmosphere, and she tactfully withdrew from this scene that made her feel comfortable, and turned to another place quietly alone. She had not yet noticed that there was a special visitor in today's occasion - Qiu Yingjie.

She watched couples walking through the crowd, their laughter and interaction made her feel envious. Her eyes were a little hazy in the dim light, and tears welled up in her eyes. At that moment, two figures gradually became clear and appeared in her sight.

When she saw who it was, she felt a little surprised at first, but then her emotions gradually calmed down and turned indifferent.

"Su Qing, you look so beautiful today." She exclaimed sincerely. This was the first time she saw Su Qing dressed like this. Su Qing took Yi Haotian's arm in an elegant manner, and the two walked in front of her happily. Yi Haotian was dressed in a suit and tie today, and he and Su Qing were such a perfect match.

"Thank you for the compliment, Sister Xinyue." Su Qing expressed her gratitude in a proper way. Yi Haotian showed a proud expression, his eyes passed from Su Qing to Lu Xinyue. He said solemnly: "Xinyue, I will soon go to Country M with Su Qing to settle down and start a new chapter in life. You are here today, so I want to say hello to you. I also want to express my sincere gratitude for your hard work for the company." After that, he stretched out his right hand. Lu Xinyue looked at his hand, and after a brief silence, she finally chose to gently shake it. She responded in a calm and sincere tone: "May you live a happy life."

Looking at their happy silhouettes going away, Lu Xinyue sighed and confessed in her heart: "Now, it should be the time to give up! Their joy is overflowing in every corner of life, leaving me no longer with a ray of hope." Such a harmonious picture made her feel deeply insignificant and powerless, and this helplessness and loss became the most formal surrender in her heart. She understood that some things are destined to become a thing of the past and can no longer be lingered. She is willing to let go of the past days in the most formal manner and move towards the future journey of life. Although there is still a little bitterness in her heart, she believes that the road ahead will eventually have her story and new expectations.

Mu Yunting and Chen Anqi met and laughed with Mu Ziyan in a harmonious atmosphere. At the same time, Yi Haotian and Su Qing carefully chose to leave the banquet early, leaving each other a quiet space. Tan Yichen and Qiu Yingjie were discussing important matters in secret, and their conversation seemed particularly serious and earnest. In a corner of the balcony, Lu Xinyue stood alone, her hands gently resting on the railing, as if she was silently thinking about her future, and her eyes revealed a deep thought.
