The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

In the afternoon sun, Mu Ziyan stood by the window, admiring the bright scenery outside, and she felt an urge to go out for a walk. But with that came the worry about the possible reaction if Tan Yichen knew about it. She hesitated whether to tell him her thoughts, worried that he would be displeased by her unauthorized actions, or whether he would worry about her health.

Then, she walked down the stairs, and Yu Ma came out of the kitchen with a towel in her hand. She asked softly, "Yan Yan, do you want to eat something tonight? How about I prepare a pot of hot soup for you?" Yu Ma's concern was as warm as a mother's, which made Mu Ziyan feel warm in her heart.

"Yu Ma, I want to go to the hotel and relax in a different environment. I plan to have dinner there tonight." Yu Ma was a little surprised to hear this, but she did not interfere. Instead, she responded with her usual gentle smile: "Okay."

Mu Ziyan called Zhang Yang, and then he drove her car and set off on the road. When she slowly rolled down the window on the road, she deeply experienced the free breath brought by the wind.

Zhang Yang looked at her through the rearview mirror and reminded her worriedly, "Sister Yan, the wind is a little cold. You haven't fully recovered yet. Don't catch a cold." So Mu Ziyan raised the car window.

While driving, Zhang Yang asked again with concern: "Sister, you are going to the hotel, does Brother Chen know?" His concerns showed on his face, and he felt uneasy, wondering whether he had made the decision alone today.

Mu Ziyan looked out the window and felt a subtle sense of uneasiness. She said calmly, "I wanted to call him, but I was afraid that he might be busy with work and I was afraid to disturb him. Fortunately, the place we are going to is not unfamiliar, and he will not blame you for this." She knew Zhang Yang's awe of Tan Yichen, and this feeling was very clear in her understanding.

Zhang Yang remained silent while Mu Ziyan continued to stare at the scenery outside the window.

Their car slowly stopped at the entrance of Shenghui Hotel, and the security guard quickly stepped forward to open the door for them. Mu Ziyan got out of the car with an elegant manner. The security guard was a little surprised, and then respectfully called her: "Madam President, you are here!" This sudden honorific made Mu Ziyan a little surprised, and she responded with an unaccustomed smile. Suddenly, her eyes caught Tan Yichen's car, which was parked safely in the designated parking space. She felt a little happy in her heart, they finally had the opportunity to have dinner together.

Under the guidance of the manager, Mu Ziyan was heading towards the elevator. Just after turning the corner of the hotel lobby, not far from the elevator, she suddenly found Tan Yichen standing upright, waiting for the elevator. A happy smile appeared on Mu Ziyan's face. When she was about to call his name, she noticed Yaqi beside him. Mu Ziyan felt unfamiliar with this woman. She saw her approaching Tan Yichen intimately, naturally holding his arm. The two of them talked happily and behaved very intimately. This scene was jarring to Mu Ziyan. She witnessed another side of Tan Yichen in disbelief. This hotel should have been his territory, but he was openly showing such intimacy with another woman here, completely disregarding his married image. This sudden betrayal made her unable to hold back her tears, which flowed silently. She fell into a state of shock and sadness. Everything in front of her seemed to completely overturn her world.

"Sister Yan, you..." Xing Feng's words revealed surprise, and his eyes fell on Mu Ziyan who suddenly appeared. Following the direction of her eyes, he realized that she seemed to have misunderstood. He hurried forward and explained in an anxious tone: "Sister Yan, don't misunderstand. She is Yaqi, Brother Chen's sister."

Xing Feng's words were like a heavy hammer to Mu Ziyan, especially when she heard Yaqi's name, she remembered the shadow that had been following Tan Yichen. She asked in confusion: "She's back? And Tan Yichen chose to hide it?" Her eyes were full of disbelief, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Everyone around was watching this scene, and Xing Feng felt embarrassed. He whispered: "Sister Yan, go upstairs and take a rest first, calm down." He hoped that this would allow her to temporarily stay away from this heartbreaking scene.

Mu Ziyan didn't listen to his advice and wanted to go back home directly, and walked quickly to the door of the hotel! Xing Feng chased after her in small steps, wanting to explain something, but not knowing what to say. He took out his mobile phone and immediately called Tan Yichen to explain the situation here.

When Mu Ziyan approached the car, Tan Yichen rushed over and quickly grabbed her hand. She did not turn around immediately, but tried to open the door. However, Tan Yichen decisively slammed the door shut, and his action was authoritative and could not be ignored. This scene shocked Xing Feng and Zhang Yang, so they tacitly kept silent and stepped aside.

Tan Yichen held Mu Ziyan's hand tightly, and her feelings became stronger. Finally, she had to turn her head, stare into his eyes and said, "You hurt me." He noticed the tears flashing in her eyes, and a wave of pain surged in his heart. He then gently put his arm around her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "There are many people here. If you don't want to be the focus of everyone's discussion tomorrow, come upstairs with me." After that, he led her to the top floor of the hotel. Although Mu Ziyan hesitated, she did not resist in the end and could only follow him silently.

As soon as she stepped into the door, Tan Yichen picked her up horizontally. His strong action made Mu Ziyan look up with horror, but unexpectedly, his expression had turned into anger.

Tan Yichen then gently placed her on the sofa, and half-squatted to face her. Looking at her beautiful face, the anger in his heart miraculously disappeared.

He stared at her and asked sternly, "You haven't recovered yet, why are you here? How dare someone be so bold as to drive you out!"

Facing his questioning, Mu Ziyan lowered her head and remained silent, fearing that saying one more word would cause more anger.

Tan Yichen's eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and his expression was like a leopard about to explode. He stared at her and asked, "Are you angry? Did you see something that made you misunderstand so deeply?"

However, facing Tan Yichen's question, Mu Ziyan chose to turn her head away and remained silent. Her avoidance only aggravated his anger. So, Tan Yichen suddenly stood up, grabbed the wine glass on the table with one hand, and threw it to the ground with force. The sound of it breaking instantly echoed in the air.

Mu Ziyan had never seen such anger before. She slowly stood up and saw the mess of broken glass on the ground, just like her chaotic mood at the moment, torn into pieces. This scene made her feel deeply heartbroken and confused, just like those broken pieces that could not be restored.

Mu Ziyan, with tears on her face and a tone that revealed deep pain and questioning, stared at Tan Yichen and said, "Yaqi is back, but you chose to hide it from me. This reminds me of the past. I have always been like a secret pet in your home, hidden away. Is this how you see me, and I can never show it to others?"

Tan Yichen was shocked by Mu Ziyan's idea. He was about to refute her, but Mu Ziyan took another step forward and said firmly, "I saw the intimacy between you two. Do I have the right to ask about it? Is my position in your heart really not as important as that of your sister who has been with you since childhood?"

Tan Yichen unconsciously took a step back and stood still. Mu Ziyan stared at him coldly, her voice firm: "I feel your estrangement recently. I feel deeply guilty for losing our child. I know regret cannot change the facts. But your attitude really makes me discouraged."

He sighed softly and sat down on the soft sofa tiredly. Faced with a lot of doubts, he was at a loss, trying to find an appropriate reason to explain all these misunderstandings. Originally, he planned to question Yaqi today, but the development of things was unexpected and all his plans fell through.

Faced with the revelation of the truth, Tan Yichen's heart is filled with fear and desire to explore, and he is eager to unlock the mysterious box.

He whispered in a steady tone: "That car accident is undoubtedly an insurmountable obstacle in my heart." He stood up, stared at Mu Ziyan deeply, and said with a little loss: "My wife and children, Tan Yichen, were harmed by a conspiracy in this city, which led to the loss of our first child. Do you know that such a thing has made me a mockery and joke of the outside world?"

He asked earnestly, "Can you understand my pain at this moment? At present, the real murderer is still unknown and the cause of the accident is still unclear. Do you know how anxious and helpless I am? I long to give you and our children a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I really don't know how to face you. I should have protected you, but I became the one who brought danger."

Mu Ziyan was deeply shocked when she heard the true feelings from Tan Yichen's heart. She covered her face with her hands and indulged in tears of joy and sorrow. Yichen wisely chose to retreat. He knew that what they needed was silence and free thinking space to sort out their emotions. So he gently opened the door and quietly left the room, giving them time to reflect on themselves.

It was late at night, and Chen Anqi was alone in the spacious living room, quietly waiting for Mu Yunting's return. On this day, she had never felt that Mu Yunting's phone was so difficult to dial, and her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. She knew that her behavior this time might be a bit excessive.

Suddenly, the sound of a car came from outside, breaking the tranquility of the night. Chen Anqi immediately ran to the door alertly, ready to welcome Mu Yunting's return. At the door, their eyes met, and their shock was beyond words. However, Mu Yunting did not give her any response, and chose to ignore her and walked straight into the house. There seemed to be an atmosphere of indifference and alienation in the air, which made people feel a little depressed.

"Yun Ting, I want to talk to you!" Chen Anqi asked cautiously and tentatively.

"I don't want to listen!" Mu Yunting refused directly.

Chen Anqi's tone was a little aggrieved. She admitted that this was the first time she faced Mu Yunting's indifference. She was in a dilemma, but then she mustered up her courage, stepped forward quickly, tears falling, and held his arm tightly, asking softly: "Do we really have to stay in this stalemate?" Mu Yunting looked at her calmly. Although he felt pain in his heart, he still responded firmly: "Then let's talk."

The two then walked into the bedroom, and Mu Yunting sat on the sofa, ignoring her. Chen Anqi tried to get closer to him, standing not far from him, and said frankly: "I understand that my behavior may be excessive, but I also have my difficulties."

Mu Yunting suddenly stood up and accused emotionally: "Children are a matter for two people. How can you unilaterally decide not to have children?"

Chen Anqi looked up at Mu Yunting who was about to explode, and immediately softened her attitude and humbly admitted her mistake: "I admit that I was wrong." Her voice revealed deep regret and self-blame.

"Half a month ago, Lu Xinyue, Yanyan and Su Qing were having a party at a coffee shop, but they were involved in a car accident at night." Hearing this, Mu Yunting suddenly stood up, hurried forward, and held Chen Anqi's arm tightly, asking repeatedly: "You said half a month ago? Why has no one known about it for a long time? How is Yanyan? Where is she now?" Facing Mu Yunting's repeated questions, Chen Anqi seemed a little confused. Observing her tense expression due to pain, Mu Yunting knew that he had used too much force, so he let go and asked again: "Is Yanyan safe and sound?"

Chen Anqi nodded in response, and Mu Yunting's nervousness eased a little. Then, Chen Anqi told the truth: "This was a carefully planned car accident. Who in this city would dare to attack Tan Yichen's wife?" This shocked Mu Yunting, and he stood there in a daze, unable to speak.

Chen Anqi continued, "It is impossible to predict the arrival of danger. I guess my father's death was also premeditated. Now I realize that someone in the city has a deep grudge against Tan Yichen, and the power behind him cannot be underestimated. Su Qing and the fetus in her belly died on the spot, and Yanyan also had a miscarriage and is now recuperating at home. Tan Yichen has blocked the news of this matter, but it is undoubtedly a severe test of their relationship."

Mu Yunting sat alone on the sofa, frowning, hitting his forehead with his fists, unable to hide the distress and pain in his heart. At this time, Chen Anqi noticed his emotions, walked over quickly, gently grabbed his hands, and slowly placed them on her chest.

"Yun Ting, we all know that Tan Yichen's family is not doing well right now. Facing such a situation, we..." His words revealed his worry and anxiety about the future. Mu Yun Ting looked up at her and grabbed her hand.

Chen Anqi's face changed slightly, and she hesitated. "I don't dare to take the risk of having a child. I feel scared. I'm afraid that our family will also encounter unknown changes." Her words were full of uncertainty and fear about the future. Mu Yunting then gently pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her back with his hands to show comfort and support. He whispered and told her in a steady tone: "We will face it together. No matter how tortuous the road ahead is, I will be by your side." He hoped to give her strength and courage.
