The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

Tan Yichen stood outside Long Zhaoxian's study, his mood surging like a wave. Although he was unwilling to part with the person who raised him, he could never break up. But the fact was that he was the direct cause of the death of Yanyan and her child, Su Qing and her child. He clasped his hands tightly, and his joints made a slight creaking sound due to excessive force. He sighed softly, and finally knocked on the heavy door.

Hearing the sound, Long Zhaoxian's face no longer had the enthusiasm of the past. His expression seemed particularly serious, with his brows furrowed.

"I heard that you teamed up with Xing Feng to force Yaqi to retreat?" Long Zhaoxian asked sharply.

Tan Yichen didn't waste any time in greeting at this time.

"She instructed her men to take my child's life!" Tan Yichen stated the facts angrily.

With a loud bang, Long Zhaoxian threw the teacup in his hand heavily to the ground, and fragments flew everywhere.

"This is the promise you made to me! Have you forgotten it completely?" Long Zhaoxian spoke with certainty, and every word carried a weight that could not be ignored.

"Yi Chen, if Mu Ziyan knew that her child died because of your betrayal, how do you think she would react?" Long Zhaoxian raised his eyebrows and chuckled, revealing a sense of teasing and threat in his words.

Tan Yichen's angry eyes shot at him like a knife, and his emotions were very intense.

Long Zhaoxian turned back to the chair behind his desk and slowly lit the cigar in his hand with the lighter in the drawer. Behind the misty smoke, his eyes revealed a sarcastic smile. He said calmly: "Yi Chen, I am willing to respect your choice of marriage. But please remember that I will never tolerate your betrayal. Your behavior broke my Yaqi's heart. For you, she will never consider marriage in her life. If you are a father, you may understand my position at this moment. I am actually tolerant of you. My requirements are not high, but you must keep your promise. This time, it is a wake-up call."

Tan Yichen was touched by Long Zhaoxian's words, and his emotions instantly went out of control. He rushed to the desk, swept the documents on the desk in anger, slammed his fist on the desk angrily, and shouted like a bell: "That was an innocent life! That was the continuation of my Tan Yichen bloodline. If you really regard me as your closest relative, how can you be so cruel and so determined?"

Faced with Tan Yichen's indignation, Long Zhaoxian also stood up angrily. As the two sides confronted each other, he responded coldly: "I'll make it clear to you that you will be controlled and bound by me for the rest of your life, and you won't be able to escape!" His tone revealed an unquestionable determination.

Tan Yichen's eyes glowed crimson, unexpectedly revealing his cold and ruthless heart. Taking a few steps back, the two men's eyes met, and a silent tension spread in the air. The cause of this turmoil was actually his failure to fulfill his previous oath. When Tan Yichen thought of Mu Ziyan, his heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer, and the pain was unbearable. Will his "Yanyan" leave him because of this?

"Yi Chen, I raised you, and no one and nothing can change this fact. I won't force you to marry Yaqi, but someone must take responsibility for her injuries." His voice was full of the firmness and helplessness of fatherly love.

Tan Yichen said in a trembling voice: "What have I done wrong? I just long for a harmonious family and to spend my life with the one I love. To me, Mu Ziyan transcends all hatred and career ties. I can do my best just to be with her. I - only need her..." As he spoke, Long Zhaoxian no longer looked at him, but put his hands behind his back, staring silently out the window, deep in thought.

He had always been deeply mired in the emotions of Tan Yichen's mother. However, looking back now, he himself was just a part of this absurd drama.

"The disturbance has subsided. You will leave here tomorrow. I, Yaqi, will keep a close eye on you and will never let her set foot in the place where you are again." Long Zhaoxian said coldly.

Tan Yichen asked in confusion: "Three lives just disappeared without any explanation?" This is undoubtedly a tragedy, with no comfort at all.

Long Zhaoxian said with a sigh: "Yaqi was certainly wrong, but she was also used by others. At present, the truth of the matter still needs further verification. If you don't pursue it further, the casualties will be like this. If you continue to be obsessed with it, the matter will escalate and no one will be able to end it." After hearing this, Tan Yichen stared at him with confusion in his eyes.

Long Zhaoxian turned his head and shook his head when facing Tan Yichen, his tone full of complex emotions about emotional entanglements. He knew very well that people in the whirlpool of emotions often hesitate.

"Yi Chen, please remember your oath. Let this matter pass away with the wind. If you act rashly again in the future, the consequences will be even more serious."

Tan Yichen widened his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Are you planning to attack Mu Ziyan next?"

Long Zhaoxian chuckled and responded, "Why not? But as long as you follow my instructions, she will always be safe."

At this moment, Tan Yichen realized the depth of the haze in Long Zhaoxian's heart. He realized that he was the most ignorant character. Now, he even doubted himself more and more. Was his parents' death inextricably linked to him? What kind of mystery was hidden behind this?

After returning to the room, Tan Yichen leaned on the bed tiredly. He looked up and saw that it was already afternoon, and guessed that Yanyan in China should have fallen asleep. His thoughts returned to Long Zhaoxian's words before, and he felt the despair of having no hope of raising a child with Yanyan in this life. The painful emotions passed through his heart like ice. How could he bear to let his beloved woman suffer the harm of others!

Yaqi was in the room. When she heard the servant's report, a relieved smile appeared on her originally calm face. Tan Yichen's challenge was just a trivial attempt in front of her father. With her father's protection, she could pursue her dream without any scruples. The so-called Mu Ziyan was just a small ripple in her eyes. No matter how much Tan Yichen loved her, it could not change the fact that they could not have children. The existence of her father provided her with a solid backing, allowing her to face the challenges in life more confidently.

Xing Feng stood downstairs of Yaqi's residence, watching her busy figure shuttling back and forth under the ever-burning light. His heart trembled slightly with her movements, just like the deep affection and protection he felt when he first met her. As time passed, his determination remained unwavering, and he always loved and protected her. No matter what mistakes she had made, he never felt the slightest bit of disgust in his heart. Perhaps this was the reason why Tan Yichen had not taken action against Yaqi. Tan Yichen's considerations for everyone were profound and comprehensive.

Xing Feng was deeply grateful for Tan Yichen's brotherhood. He always thought about the future stability and destination for people like him who were homeless and wandering. Tan Yichen was not only a friend to him, but also someone he wanted to help as much as possible. He was even willing to sacrifice his life for him.

Qiu Yingjie sipped wine alone in the deep villa, seemingly intoxicated by a hazy fantasy. Lu Xinyue always chose to reject his calls. Looking for her trace was like looking for a needle in a haystack, with no way to start. His heart seemed to be emptied by an invisible hand, leaving only an empty body, wandering in this silent night.

Lu Xinyue sat down alone in a familiar coffee shop. The scene in front of her touched her memory, as if it happened yesterday. Su Qing's figure gradually approached. Her vision began to blur, and the words that Su Qing had whispered to her were like ripples in her heart.

The words "Go find him..." whispered in her ear, with deep meaning and determination. For a moment, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She began to miss Qiu Yingjie, and her deep love and care for him gushed out like a spring. Just as she was about to get up, Amy was walking towards her. Lu Xinyue was puzzled, how did she know where she was? Although this coffee shop was not in a busy downtown area.

Amy's behavior was embarrassing. She sat down without any greeting and said in a contemptuous challenge: "It's a miracle that you are still alive..." Her words revealed strong provocation and contempt.

Lu Xinyue's pupils dilated slightly, and she responded in disbelief: "You...what do you mean by that?"

Amy responded through gritted teeth: "You are the target." Her tone was full of resentment and determination.

Lu Xinyue stood up suddenly, confusion and anger intertwined on her face: "Is it you?"

However, Amy didn't seem to care. She casually took care of her manicure, chuckled and continued: "I don't have that ability. But, I do want you to disappear." There was deep malice in her words.

Lu Xinyue didn't hesitate and slapped Amy in the face. Amy stood up instantly and tried to fight back, but Lu Xinyue's hand firmly controlled her arm like an iron clamp and threw her back to the seat!

Amy was extremely angry. She stood up excitedly and confronted Lu Xinyue directly: "I will not give up Qiu Yingjie!" After that, she grabbed the bag in her hand and left without hesitation.

Lu Xinyue felt disappointed. She sat alone, looking out the window at the scene of a car accident. At that moment, she deeply recalled Amy's words and felt that Su Qing was also a poor person who was misjudged in this storm. Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to be included in the target of this struggle.

Amy pushed open the door angrily.

Suddenly, she felt someone hugging her from behind. She was shocked by the sudden closeness. When she saw the person's face clearly, her expression immediately turned gentle and coquettish.

"Oh, you are such a fool." She said coquettishly, turning around and caressing the other person's face, "Why did you suddenly appear?"

"What? Can't I come?" the other party asked back.

Seeing this, Amy immediately changed to a gentler tone and acted coquettishly, "How could that be? I think about you every day, how could I not want you to show up? It's just... so many things have happened recently, why did you come back?" Although she felt annoyed with this man in her heart, she still chose to suppress her emotions because he still had some value to her.

The man sat on the sofa, pulled Amy to his side, and gently put his arm around her waist. His hands wandered restlessly on her body, teasing her senses.

"Tianhu has been rescued!" he blurted out. Hearing this, Amy stood up from the sofa, looking surprised and asked, "How was he rescued?"

Facing her anxious look, the man responded calmly: "Why are you so anxious?"

Tu Amy hid her unnatural expression, but her words were filled with deep worry. She said, "I just think that it will be extremely difficult to rescue the hostages from Tan Yichen..." Her words revealed a cautious attitude.

The man slapped his thigh heavily and fell into deep thought. He said with a little doubt: "I am confused too. When we arrived, there was no one guarding Tianhu, as if they were waiting for me to rescue them. Could this be a trap set by Tan Yichen?" His tone revealed a hint of alertness.

Amy's heartbeat was as rapid as a drum, and her expression became more and more nervous. If Tianhu revealed the truth, Qiu Yingjie's iron-fisted approach would put her in great danger, and she would be treated mercilessly by the person in front of her, making it difficult for her to escape.

The man immediately stood up, picked up Amy gently, and walked towards the bed. Amy asked tremblingly: "What are you doing? In broad daylight..." Although she was nervous, her tone still contained a hint of anger and coquettishness.

The man suddenly laughed, and without saying anything, he threw Amy onto the bed, and then, without waiting for her to react, he pressed on her. His movements mercilessly tore off Amy's clothes, venting his inner desire without any scruples.

"I miss you, what do you think I should do now?" His words were full of primitive desire and dominance. Then came his strong physical contact and violation. Amy stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, her body unable to move, being ravaged by his strength. At this moment, Amy couldn't imagine when this tormenting life would end.
