The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

The morning sunshine is picturesque and fills every corner of the room. It is a beautiful moment full of vitality and harmony.

Mu Ziyan was awakened by the morning light. Her first reaction was to look at the place where Tan Yichen had rested last night. The bed was tidy and the quilt was quietly folded, but Tan Yichen had disappeared.

This slight loss was like ripples in her heart, she silently stared at the empty sofa, her expectation in her heart like a long stream. She looked towards the door, expecting him to appear.

After washing up, I put on my clothes and went downstairs. I saw Yu Ma busy in the kitchen! I remembered the happy days with my sister-in-law when I was at home! I was distracted for a moment, yes, let's go home and take a look!

Yu Ma took out the breakfast and saw Mu Ziyan standing in a daze on the stairwell. She hurried forward and asked with concern: "Madam, are you feeling better?"

Mu Ziyan smiled and nodded quickly. She took Yu Ma's hand and said, "Yu Ma, just call me Yanyan, so I will be more comfortable with it!" Yu Ma was happy to see such a humble young lady, and nodded quickly!

After breakfast, she went upstairs to pack up. Mu Ziyan no longer wanted to find out where Tan Yichen was. She went downstairs to call Su Qing and returned to the Mu family!

Tan Yichen was called back to the company early in the morning. Xing Feng reported everything that had happened in the past few days. Tan Yichen's frown never relaxed again.

The entanglement with Mu Ziyan these days and Yaqi's sudden appearance have made it impossible for him to focus on his official duties. Therefore, he decided to finish these matters today. So, he decided to send Xing Feng home to check on Yanyan's situation. At this time, he was convinced that she would not answer the phone, fearing that his appearance would anger her again, which would be detrimental to her recovery!

When Xing Feng entered the house, he heard what Yu Ma said, Mu Ziyan had already returned to the Mu family early in the morning. Considering that Mu Ziyan might return in the evening, Xing Feng decided to put the matter aside for the time being and decided not to disclose it to Tan Yichen. The complexity of the acquisition cannot be ignored. If it is not handled in time, it may bring a series of problems to the company. Therefore, Tan Yichen must concentrate on his work to ensure the smooth progress of the acquisition.

After returning to the company, Xing Feng decided that as long as Tan Yichen didn't summon him, he would just not reply!

The Mu family didn't know about Mu Ziyan's return! After all, it had only been a short time since she returned home!

Mu Yunting walked frequently in the spacious living room, over and over again. Chen Anqi sat on the sofa, she was so quiet, with her hands folded in front of her chest, thinking silently. The air in the room seemed to solidify at this moment, blending with their thoughts. This silent atmosphere permeated the entire living room, making every tiny sound particularly prominent. In this tense and thoughtful atmosphere, Mu Yunting and Chen Anqi were each immersed in their own thoughts, as if waiting for the arrival of an unknown fate.

Just as she was about to step into the living room, Mu Ziyan caught the voice of Mu Yunting coming from inside the house outside the door.

Mu Yunting's words revealed some doubt and confusion, and his words made Tan Yichen's intentions unclear.

"What does Tan Yichen's decision mean? How could he give up investing so easily? How can we raise enough funds to save the company in such a short time? This requires a large amount of financing." Mu Ziyan's heart tightened after hearing the news.

She pondered over everything that had happened in the past few days, and couldn't help wondering if Tan Yichen's actions had anything to do with her. Was it really unrelated to this? She pondered over and over again in her heart. After all, she had no choice but to marry him in order to save the Mu family! If it was really because she didn't fulfill her obligations as a wife, and Tan Yichen cut off her brother's funding chain out of anger, then she really misjudged him.

Mu Ziyan's face looked extremely pale. She had not yet fully recovered and after hearing the news, she was even more unable to support herself and leaned against the door.

It suddenly started to rain outside, just like her heart was shedding tears. Mu Ziyan chose to avoid this embarrassment. What else could she do for the Mu family? She must go home to find Tan Yichen and get a deeper understanding of the truth of this matter!

Mu Ziyan walked to the front of the car with difficulty. Su Qing saw Mu Ziyan, who was soaked by the rain. He hurriedly got out of the car, held an umbrella for her, and asked her why she came out so quickly. Mu Ziyan replied weakly, "Let's go home."

In the whole afternoon, Tan Yichen did not get any response, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. At this time, Xing Feng told him the truth in a sincere manner. Tan Yichen felt very indignant, with anger in his eyes. He slammed the door angrily and drove back home.

The rain was pouring down, and Tan Yichen's mood became more and more tense. He was worried that any accident would happen again and implicate Yanyan.

He hurried home, looking for Mu Ziyan everywhere. Yu Ma came forward and told him that Mu Ziyan had not returned yet. Tan Yichen frowned, anger welling up in his heart. He turned around and wanted to go to Mu's house to look for someone, but saw the soaked Mu Ziyan and Su Qing returning together.

Tan Yichen's stern face looked at Mu Ziyan, who was soaked all over, with her shoulders hunched and hugging him. Her pale face revealed unspeakable grievances.

He walked up to Su Qing and slapped her hard, causing a trace of blood to flow from the corner of her mouth. Su Qing did not resist at all, but just lowered her head silently.

Everyone present was stunned! Xing Feng, who had just entered the room, looked at Tan Yichen in disbelief, and slowly walked towards Su Qing, wanting to check her injuries.

Tan Yichen sternly ordered Mu Ziyan to change her clothes. Mu Ziyan looked at him, then looked at Su Qing distressedly. It was clearly none of her business, but she was implicated by it, and she didn't know what to do.

"Did you hear me? Go change your clothes!" Tan Yichen raised his voice again and emphasized it. Yu Ma walked forward and took Mu Ziyan's arm and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Xing Feng quickly pulled Su Qing away. He had never seen Tan Yichen hit a woman before, this was the first time. This scene shocked him completely. It also made him realize that Mu Ziyan had an indefensible position in Tan Yichen's heart.

After returning to the room, the sound of the slap still lingered in Mu Ziyan's mind for a long time. She could no longer suppress the pain in her heart and burst into tears. Seeing her so sad, Yu Ma felt very distressed, but she was helpless.

Just when Yu Ma didn't know how to comfort Mu Ziyan, she suddenly asked Yu Ma to leave. Yu Ma was surprised and had to obey her wishes and quietly left the room.

Tan Yichen heard Mu Ziyan's crying, walked into the room without getting a response, and came to her side, wanting to comfort her.

Mu Ziyan looked at Tan Yichen expressionlessly, but he said anxiously and eagerly: "Didn't I tell you to change your clothes? You'll get sick if you do this!"

Mu Ziyan didn't think this was out of concern, but more like some kind of control.

"What if I don't change?" she responded firmly.

Tan Yichen's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that these words came from Yan Yan's mouth. "What did you say?" He wanted to hear it more clearly!

Mu Ziyan gritted her teeth and insisted, "I don't want to change! I don't want to listen to you." Her tone was full of determination. This sentence was obviously full of provocation to Tan Yichen.

Tan Yichen walked up to her, held her shoulders, and asked her with anxiety and confusion what had happened and why she ignored his concern.

Mu Ziyan gently pushed his hand away and asked, "Why did you withdraw my brother's funds?"

Tan Yichen straightened his back and said firmly: "This has nothing to do with you. This is my job. You don't have to ask."

Mu Ziyan was relentless and kept asking, "Doesn't this have anything to do with me?"

Tan Yichen looked at her, his eyes full of confusion.

Mu Ziyan pressed on step by step and said coldly: "The purpose of my marrying you is to save our Mu family. But now that you don't save my brother, what's the point of me following you?"

Tan Yichen was enraged by her words, and his dignity was revealed on his face. He even shouted louder than ever before: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

He has great respect for the relationship between them, and regards it as a sacred bond, holding it carefully in his palm. Her position in his heart is like a pure lily, delicate and noble, sacred and inviolable. He firmly guards this relationship. Whether facing the temptation of the outside world or his own doubts, he sticks to his promise to her and never allows anyone, even the slightest temptation, to taint her purity. He knows that even she herself should not easily trample on this hard-earned innocence. He will use his incomparable respect and love to let her bloom like a lily and keep her pure and noble forever.

The emptiness in Mu Ziyan's eyes completely frightened Tan Yichen.

He stood in front of her, with doubt in his eyes, trying to understand what she meant: "Are you an item that can be replaced?"

Mu Ziyan's face remained calm.

"Is it because you've never had it?" Her words were like a cold sword, piercing deep into his heart. He heard his heart breaking, and his love, in her words, instantly turned into nothingness. Her pain, like a sharp knife, pierced deeply into his heart.

Tan Yichen sneered: "So the real reason is that you think I never had you!"

Tan Yichen's eyes were even red as he said: "How can you despise my love for you? How can you have the heart to trample on my heart like this?"

Mu Ziyan also sneered, but completely ignored his question.

"If I agree, will you save my brother?"

Hearing these words, Tan Yichen took two steps back in disbelief, the disappointment in his eyes revealed without reservation. His heart felt like it was cut by a sharp knife, and the pain was so great that he could hardly breathe.

Mu Ziyan adjusted her mood, took a step, and unbuttoned her shirt one by one as she walked towards Tan Yichen.

Tan Yichen looked at her twisted act of love and closed his eyes deeply.
