The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Suddenly, a familiar and heart-piercing voice rang in my ears: "I came back just for you."

Lu Xinyue turned her head subconsciously, and her sight immediately locked on the source of her emotional ups and downs these days - Qiu Yingjie. His figure seemed to carry a heavy past, tormenting her heart. She took a deep breath, holding back the tears that were about to burst, but a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Her voice was as soft as a falling leaf. "I am not worthy of it. I really can't bear it."

Today's occasion seemed particularly solemn and formal. Qiu Yingjie knew the rules and limits very well. Although he was full of longing and impulse, he did not dare to overstep the line. He stood quietly not far from her, controlling his emotions.

"I'm not an irresponsible person. It's just that I was ordered to return to Country M at that time." Lu Xinyue didn't look up. Her eyes never left the railing in the distance, as if she was trying to calm her inner waves in this way.

Qiu Yingjie said anxiously: "Xinyue, the passion that night was not a rash act of mine. I solemnly tell you that I am sincere. I returned to Country M to seek my father's approval and to get his support and blessing for our relationship."

Lu Xinyue's lips curled up into a sarcastic sneer. She quickly turned around and faced Qiu Yingjie, asking with a hint of provocation in her tone, "So, does your father agree?"

Qiu Yingjie's eyes were full of disbelief. He stared at Lu Xinyue's cold expression, as if he was pierced by the cold wind. He tried to respond to this indifference with deep affection: "Xinyue, I really love you." His heart was filled with endless thoughts for her, as if thousands of words came to his mind, but they were turned around and could not be spoken.

However, Lu Xinyue rejected him with an even colder attitude: "Mr. Qiu, I am very grateful for your kindness. But for me, all this is nothing more than a romantic night carnival, a fleeting journey without a trace of emotion." She took two steps back and stated in a cold tone, "It was just a one-night stand for me." Her attitude was resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Qiu Yingjie's eyes were deep, with tears of excitement flashing in his eyes, and he stared at her affectionately. His heart was surging with unspeakable waves, and an indescribable pain surged in his heart.

"Yi Haotian is about to leave with Su Qing. Do you still think you have hope?" This sentence was like a sharp blade, successfully arousing the spark of anger deep in Lu Xinyue's heart.

"You..." Lu Xinyue's tone revealed surprise. It turned out that Qiu Yingjie had already known her secret, and this insight made her feel ashamed.

Qiu Yingjie turned around and stopped looking at her. Instead, he stared at the beautiful night scene with tall buildings, which was completely different from his mood. His sigh revealed his helplessness at the tricks of fate, as if all his efforts had come to nothing, and it turned out that everything was just an absurd joke.

"I'm asking you one last time, you really don't love me, do you?" Qiu Yingjie faced Lu Xinyue again with a firm and earnest voice, hoping to urge her to seriously consider it. He knew that this was his last hope, and he wanted to use words to make her heart tremble.

Lu Xinyue turned her head slightly and remained silent. Her eyes revealed hesitation and helplessness, as if she was avoiding the question.

"Look at me!" Qiu Yingjie's tone was an unquestionable command, and his voice revealed a strong emotion. He hoped that she could look him in the eye and face this cruel fact.

Lu Xinyue was startled by this sudden rebuke, her eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement. After a moment of contemplation, she answered word by word in a firm tone: "I, Lu Xinyue, do not love you!"

This sentence pierced Qiu Yingjie's heart like a sharp knife, causing him to feel deep pain. He tried hard to maintain his self-esteem and slowly stepped back a few steps. Then, he took a deep breath, turned around, and walked away resolutely, without a trace of nostalgia, leaving with grief.

Lu Xinyue stood there, lonely and fragile, her helpless turn and falling tears intertwined. Her heart was struggling in pain, and a voice whispered: "Really not in love?" This question was like a sharp arrow, piercing her inner peace. She knew that this was not the familiar emotion of the past. How could that deep emotion, that passionate love, disappear like this? She was unwilling to accept it, but she was powerless to refute it. However, the reality of emotion was so cruel and ruthless that she fell into a deep confusion and hesitation.

On the second floor, Tan Yichen had a clear view of the feelings and situation between the two. He thought silently in his heart that these two people full of love obviously still needed his full help to get closer to their dreams. This was not only his plan, but also what he expected deep in his heart.

As the banquet gradually came to an end, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the lively scene finally returned to tranquility. When all the prosperity faded away, it was like an illusory dream quietly dissipated, leaving only tranquility and indifference.

After returning home, Mu Yunting and Chen Anqi snuggled up on the bed and had a warm chat at night. Their joy was beyond words because of the good news that Mu Ziyan was pregnant.

"I can't imagine that I'm about to become an uncle." Mu Yunting's face was filled with undisguised laughter, and his voice was full of anticipation and joy.

Chen Anqi also laughed and responded, "I will also usher in a new identity - becoming the children's aunt. I will definitely prepare a gift of extraordinary significance for her."

Mu Yunting asked with some doubt: "We don't know whether it is a boy or a girl yet. Is it too early to prepare this gift?"

Chen Anqi looked at Mu Yunting's serious expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter. She explained in a calm and gentle tone: "Are you confused? Of course, the gifts should be prepared after the baby is born."

After hearing this, Mu Yunting suddenly woke up from his dream and patted his forehead lightly, laughing at himself. At this moment, the whole room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

Mu Yunting's eyes revealed a bit of doting. He gently placed his hand on Chen Anqi's abdomen and asked softly, "Anqi, we have been married for such a long time, and I have been looking forward to our little life. But why haven't you gotten pregnant?" There seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in his words, "I even have doubts, is there something wrong with my body?"

This sentence was like a wave that quietly passed through Chen Anqi's heart. The subtle change on her face was undetectable. She responded with a smile that she tried to keep calm: "Maybe we are both too nervous. You are busy with work and under pressure. Maybe this state will affect conception."

Mu Yunting listened to Chen Anqi's explanation, then turned over quickly and pressed her under him. He smiled in a wicked manner, his voice low and magnetic: "We are in great shape today, maybe this is a godsend, in this case, can it increase your chances of pregnancy?" His words revealed an unquestionable firmness, and before Chen Anqi could reply, his lips had already covered hers.

His kiss was tight and passionate. Chen Anqi closed her eyes tightly, feeling his hot breath and the lingering of his lips and tongue. Her hands trembled slightly, as if she was trying to find support, but she was hesitant whether to hold his waist tightly. At this moment, there was a tension in the air, as if time had stopped at this moment, leaving only the passionate emotions between the two of them intertwining and colliding.

Qiu Yingjie returned to the hotel, sat at the bar angrily, poured a glass of strong liquor, and drank it all in one gulp. He felt the irritation in his chest like a heavy chain, and couldn't help loosening his tie to try to relieve the depression.

The cell phone rang suddenly in this silent moment. He pressed the answer button without hesitation, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Hello?" he called angrily.

Tan Yichen's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of concern and inquiry: "Are you giving up just like that?"

Qiu Yingjie took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said firmly: “No, I will never give up.”

"That's good." Tan Yichen's tone was relaxed and confident, "My efforts were well worth it."

"Do you have any good suggestions?" Qiu Yingjie knew that what he trusted most was Tan Yichen's wisdom and insight, because the collision between wise men can inspire business sparks.

"The project has officially started, and Yi Haotian will return to Country M with Su Qing soon. With it comes the vacant management position in the company, which is now handed over to you. I have handed over the entire project to you, and I have freed up my precious time to accompany my family. This is undoubtedly a perfect arrangement." Tan Yichen's words were straightforward and honest. He trusted Qiu Yingjie without reservation and regarded Qiu Yingjie as his own.

Qiu Yingjie only replied: "I don't need to thank you for your kindness!"

When he returned to the room, Tan Yichen's eyes quickly swept across every corner, but he failed to catch Mu Ziyan's figure. His ears were filled with the sound of water flowing gently. This sound seemed to carry a melody of uneasiness, which made him worried, fearing that she would accidentally slip because of the faint sound of water.

After a brief contemplation, he resolutely took off his clothes and walked into the bathroom. The scene in front of him gave him a glimpse of Mu Ziyan, who was immersed in the sound of the shower water, cleaning herself. She was completely unaware of Tan Yichen's arrival and was immersed in her own world.

Tan Yichen approached quietly, and his hand, like a breeze, gently touched Mu Ziyan's skin. This sudden touch made Mu Ziyan tremble with vigilance. She was sensitive to the difference and immediately hugged herself to try to hide the embarrassment at that moment. After seeing that it was Tan Yichen, her face couldn't help but flush with shyness, and the shyness was particularly obvious on her face.

"You're back!" Mu Ziyan asked in a low voice. It was as if time had gone back and the scene of the two of them spending the first rain together was recreated.

Tan Yichen's eyes revealed a kind of blurred affection. His gaze had transcended the chaos around him and was only focused on the impulse in front of him. He stared at the wet Mu Ziyan, as if she was a hibiscus blooming from the water. Her brightness and innocence were particularly moving at this moment.

Tan Yichen couldn't help but move closer, and instantly held her firmly against the corner. Their lips touched, and he kissed her deeply, feeling the soft touch. Mu Ziyan had just walked out of the bath, exuding a charming fragrance. This fragrance rippled through his heart like ripples, making him feel comfortable and relaxed. He gradually indulged in this tranquility, savoring her unique breath.

After what happened today, Mu Ziyan's heart was completely immersed in Tan Yichen's elegant charm. She no longer hesitated and responded to him with the most sincere emotions. Her movements and eyes were full of love and passion. His appearance was like a brilliant beam of light, illuminating her inner world and making her completely fall in love with his gentleness. She responded to this irresistible affection with her whole heart.
