The Overbearing CEO: I Only Recognize You in This Life

When returning to the hotel, Qiu Yingjie put his luggage aside, his movements were gentle. Then, his tired body sank down along the sofa, as if he wanted to use the softness of the sofa to soothe a trace of fatigue. His fingers slowly climbed up his forehead, as if looking for a cool place to relieve the momentary distress. At this moment, his thoughts were surging like waves, and he couldn't help asking himself: If I go to find Lu Xinyue at this moment, where is she? Is she still talking happily with the strange man on the other end of the phone line? The identity of that man has become a mystery to him. This doubt made it difficult for him to calm down the confusion in his heart.

His thoughts were drawn back to reality by the crisp ringing of the door. He stood up gently, straightened his clothes, and then walked steadily to the door. He pushed it gently, and the door opened. What came into view was Xing Feng standing respectfully with a perfect smile on his face.

"Xing Feng?" He called out the name softly, with a hint of surprise and familiarity in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Xing Feng replied respectfully: "It is my honor to be remembered by Mr. Qiu." His voice revealed his respect and reverence for Qiu Yingjie.

Qiu Yingjie thought to himself that Xing Feng's intention must be very important. He adjusted his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. Our president hopes to have dinner with you at Shenghui Hotel at 7 o'clock tonight." Xing Feng's words were concise and clear, yet polite.

Qiu Yingjie felt that Tan Yichen's intentions were elusive. He knew very well that every business dinner might hide unknown mysteries. Now that he was in this city, he had to rely on Tan Yichen's power. He was afraid that he had to attend this dinner tonight!

"I will attend on time!" Qiu Yingjie replied formally.

"Okay, we will wait for you in the hotel lobby at 6 o'clock in the evening." Xing Feng said politely.

"I appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Thank you very much." He always treated people with a gentle attitude, without showing any edge. Although he was in a big family of underworld forces, he knew that the source of all power was rooted in the trust of others. He understood that respect and gratitude were the bond that maintained interpersonal relationships and the cornerstone of maintaining the stability of the entire sphere of influence.

After Xing Feng left, he fell into deep thought. Thinking back to Qiu Yingjie's performance just now, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart. His gentle and elegant manners were completely different from his father's. This feeling quietly took root in his heart, making him unable to suppress his thoughts.

He finally understood what Tan Yichen was thinking, and admired his far-reaching planning and wisdom. He realized that both Qiu Yingjie's elegance and Tan Yichen's foresight were excellent qualities worth learning and emulating.

Whenever he recalled the various strategies that Tan Yichen had carefully planned for Qiu Yingjie, he could not help but think of Yaqi's shadow. The long-lost thoughts surged into his heart like a tide, and her familiar figure had not appeared in front of him for too long.

Although she was unwilling to meet him, Xing Feng still stubbornly held on to the memories of the past. Those were the days they had spent together, and every moment was as precious as a pearl. Deep in his heart, that emotion seemed to have become an isolated island. Although it was surrounded by a turbulent ocean, he still firmly supported this obsession.

In his world, there is no room for other colors. Perhaps in this life, he will never have feelings for other women again. Those romantic and sweet moments have become the deepest freeze frame in his heart.

I couldn't help but smile and shake my head, thinking that I was just dreaming. I strode towards the door.

Lu Xinyue was immersed in her work when the phone rang. She saw the caller ID and her heart tightened.

"How are you? Are you feeling better? Is everything okay?" Yi Haotian asked with concern.

"Oh, thank you for that day. Otherwise I would have been homeless!" he said jokingly.

"I'm glad you're okay. See you tomorrow night!"

"it is good!"

Although there were only a few words, Lu Xinyue felt a little warm in her heart. The sincere concern was like the warm sunshine shining on her heart. She put down her phone, leaned back quietly in her chair, and immersed herself in the memories of the past half month. She couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence and unpredictability of life. In such a short time, she could feel such a huge emotional fluctuation.

She still had some feelings for Yi Haotian, but compared to the other deep feelings from Qiu Yingjie, they seemed mild and easy to resolve. Her feelings for Qiu Yingjie were like a thorn that was deeply pierced into her heart. Although she tried her best, she could not pull it out. Now she wished she was not such an infatuated person, like Qiu Yingjie. Turning around and leaving, she did not miss any freedom! Thinking about how ridiculous it was for her to think that Qiu Yingjie really had feelings for her.

As night fell quietly, Tan Yichen led Mu Ziyan into the room on the top floor of the hotel. This was where they had spent their wedding night together, and now that they were there again, everything seemed so familiar and warm.

Mu Ziyan's eyes shuttled through every familiar corner, her heart was in turmoil. Looking closely at Tan Yichen's profile, his handsome face, his happiness beyond words, made her intoxicated. She was full of expectations for the future, especially the fantasy of having a lovely daughter. She imagined the overflowing fatherly love and tenderness of Tan Yichen when facing the girl. She couldn't help but fall into reverie, looking forward to that beautiful future.

Tan Yichen led her to the master bedroom, and Mu Ziyan looked at him with a questioning look. Tan Yichen just smiled maliciously and whispered in her ear: "I want you. Now!" Mu Ziyan couldn't help but take a step back and looked at him with a serious expression.

"I have something to do tonight and won't be back." Mu Ziyan instantly relaxed her guard and quietly accepted his approach.

"Yichen, we will hurt the baby by doing this!" Mu Ziyan warned softly, hoping that he could face up to the problem. However, Tan Yichen's body could no longer hold back, and countless gentle kisses fell on her skin like raindrops, stirring up waves of emotional ripples. Although he tried to reassure her and told her that he would act with caution, his enthusiasm still made Mu Ziyan feel uneasy. Her hands sometimes pushed and sometimes responded, as if she was struggling with some expectations. She couldn't completely let go of her doubts, worrying that after all this passion, the child would really be hurt because of the impulse of the two. But her body was ready to welcome him. In the end, she closed her eyes and let Tan Yichen lead her to enjoy the tenderness.

Qiu Yingjie was escorted by Xing Feng and others to the hotel entrance. Xing Feng quickly got out of the car and helped Qiu Yingjie open the door. This small scene attracted the attention of passers-by, perhaps because Qiu Yingjie was too handsome and heroic.

The restaurant's environment was quiet and elegant, especially mysterious. In the end, they arrived at an independent private room that was isolated from the hustle and bustle. There were only two seats on the dining table, and the seemingly ordinary table contained an unusual meaning. Looking at this simple but not simple layout in front of him, Qiu Yingjie's heart was full of doubts and expectations, and he wanted to understand Tan Yichen's intentions and intentions more urgently.

"I'm very honored that Mr. Qiu can give me this face." The voice came from the door. Qiu Yingjie turned around and looked at Tan Yichen who had just come in. He looked particularly proud today.

"You're welcome, Mr. Tan. I just want to know what exactly is going on today, Mr. Tan?" Qiu Yingjie did not exchange pleasantries. After all, the last time they met, it was not a pleasant meeting.

Tan Yichen made a gesture for him to sit down.

After they were seated, the manager and the waiters brought the dishes. Tan Yichen waved his hand and everyone left the room, including Xing Feng.

There was no one to disturb us, just the thoughts between two men.

"I know Mr. Qiu has been very confused recently." Tan Yichen deliberately showed a subtle expression.

"I don't know what you mean."

"That day, you and President Lu..." Qiu Yingjie raised his eyebrows and sighed!

"Does the Black Boss agree?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Mr. Qiu, let's not beat around the bush. Can't you see my sincerity?"

"You want to help me?" Qiu Yingjie asked.

Tan Yichen raised his head and laughed, then walked to the balcony outside the private room. Qiu Yingjie followed closely behind him, and the two of them put their hands on the railing. Tan Yichen stared deeply at the sea, as if he wanted to take in every drop of water on the sea.

Suddenly, he said without reservation: "This is the beach where Yanyan and I first met." After saying this, Qiu Yingjie was a little confused, wondering why he shared such memories with him.

Tan Yichen's tone revealed deep memories: "From the first time I saw her when I was eleven years old, to seeing her grown up at the campus gate after returning to China five years ago, to when I made an important decision at the crossroads of my life, this beach has become a witness to the intertwining of our destinies." Tan Yichen seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool of memories, and every word and sentence poured out with emotion.

But Qiu Yingjie was listening attentively at this moment, and there was no intention to interrupt in his eyes.

"I firmly believed in God's arrangement, so I returned to Country M hoping to get my master's blessing. But..." Tan Yichen said slowly, "I know I will lose a lot, but when I think about spending the rest of my life with Yanyan, I know that everything in this world is no longer important to me."

Then, he turned to Qiu Yingjie and said, "You may have similar experiences or moods as me, right?"

As soon as these words came out, a trace of shock flashed in Qiu Yingjie's eyes. He looked up into the distance, then turned back and said: "Since that separation, I returned to Country M and wanted to seek my father's approval. However, when I tried to contact her, a man answered the phone." His voice revealed disbelief and deep pain, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Why don't you persist anymore?" Tan Yichen asked.

In the moment of silence, Tan Yichen heard this sentence: "I know she cares about someone else, and I am just a passer-by in her life." The words revealed a kind of helplessness and heartbreak. He knew that Qiu Yingjie had already discovered Lu Xinyue's secret.

Tan Yichen lowered his head in a slightly thoughtful manner, thinking about what to say next. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying to dilute the atmosphere at the moment with a seemingly relaxed tone. "Since you already know all this, what are you trying to do when you come back? Do you want to reach some kind of cooperation with me?" There was a hint of comfort in his words, as if he was trying to change the subject to prevent Qiu Yingjie from being too obsessed with that obsession.

Qiu Yingjie lowered his head slightly, tapping his fingers unconsciously on the railing. Tan Yichen raised his eyebrows in thought, as if examining something. There was a subtle atmosphere between the two, as if they were waiting for an important opportunity.

"Mr. Qiu, I wonder what your attitude is towards the last project?" There was a tone of inquiry in his words.

Qiu Yingjie looked at him with a bit of doubt in his eyes. Tan Yichen opened his lips slightly and said calmly: "Yan Yan has a new life, and I am gradually distracted from my career. I hope to spend more time with her." His words were full of warmth and determination.

Hearing this, Qiu Yingjie couldn't help but look at Tan Yichen with admiration. He said with emotion: "Tan Yichen is such a model husband. He is really a role model for me to learn from."

The atmosphere between the two suddenly became relaxed, and laughter followed. Then, the other party's words broke the brief silence: "I have communicated with other companies, and this project is reserved for you and Mr. Lu to cooperate."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Yingjie couldn't help but widen his eyes, revealing an expression of disbelief. "Tan Yichen, you actually gave up such a big project, is it for Mu Ziyan or to facilitate my marriage with Lu Xinyue?"

Tan Yichen answered directly: "It's all worth it."

Seeing this, Qiu Yingjie slowly approached Tan Yichen, his heart full of gratitude. His hand was suspended in the air, and Tan Yichen immediately understood. When the two shook hands, a tacit cooperation was achieved.

"If there is anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know." Qiu Yingjie's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his determination was fully revealed. The two men looked at each other and saw satisfied smiles in each other's eyes. At this moment, they were not only business partners, but also friends who trusted each other.
