The CEO's Wife and First Love

Ever since Hongliang returned to China, he has been troubled by a deep inner conflict.

When he thought about facing Li Zhen, he felt powerless and confused. How should he choose?

He chose to confess everything to Lizhen honestly and tell her the secret that he had hidden in his heart for a long time without reservation.

Or should he continue to conceal it and use lies to maintain the surface of peace? This question was like a heavy burden that made him breathless.

As the days passed, Hongliang lived in anxiety. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he could not concentrate on anything he did.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he tossed and turned in bed, his mind constantly replaying every detail of his time with A-Mei and various scenarios that might be discovered by Lizhen.

Sometimes, he would even wake up from a nightmare, covered in cold sweat.

This kind of anxious life made Hongliang become more and more haggard and thin.

Xiao Wang noticed that something was wrong with him and asked him about it with concern, but he always made excuses to get away with it.

Because only he himself knows that if this knot in his heart is not untied, he will never be able to restore his former peace and tranquility.

However, facing the moment when Lizhen would find out and make the final decision, Hongliang still felt extremely scared and helpless...

Lizhen always felt that there was something strange about her husband recently, as if he was hiding something from her.

This feeling is very subtle. I can't tell what's wrong specifically, but it's just a little different from usual.

The husband who used to be so caring and considerate to her seemed to have suddenly become a stranger.

Lizhen racked her brains to recall every detail that had happened during this period, trying to find out what had caused her husband's change.

But no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Is it because of too much work pressure? Or is it because of family matters that bother him? Or is it some other unknown factor?

Lizhen even began to suspect that her husband was cheating on her.

Once this idea came into her mind, it grew wildly like weeds.

However, every time she tried to find evidence, she found nothing.

There are no ambiguous text messages, no unusual call records, no late returns or unknown whereabouts.

All this seemed normal, but it made Lizhen feel extremely confused and uneasy.

Although she was full of doubts and worries, Lizhen was still unwilling to easily believe that her husband would betray her.

After all, they have been through so many ups and downs together and have a deep emotional foundation.

Therefore, whenever those bad thoughts came to her mind, Lizhen would try hard to convince herself: "No, my husband is definitely not that kind of person!" Then she would use all kinds of reasons to comfort her uneasy heart.

Lizhen can find evidence of Hongliang. Hongliang and Amei video chat online. He usually chooses to do so in the company, in his rest room. He also stipulates that Amei cannot call Hongliang unless he calls him. Moreover, the calls he and Amei make are from a special number and mobile phone that they use.

Hongliang and Amei took the opportunity of a business trip to have a secret meeting. In order not to be discovered, they took great pains to arrange everything perfectly, thinking that they had done it perfectly.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although most people are unaware of this, there are still one or two people who have noticed some clues.

At present, the only person who has discovered some of these clues is Xiao Wang.

Perhaps it was because Xiao Wang was usually more careful and perceptive, and because he was Hong Liang's assistant, or maybe it was just a coincidence that allowed him to capture this subtle detail.

However, based on these subtle details alone, Xiao Wang cannot conclusively confirm his guess.

And Anthony, who was far away in the United States, also knew about this.

Because they are friends, Hongliang told him, and Anthony also advised Hongliang not to do this. He was just advising Hongliang, but as Hongliang's friend, he would only persuade him and would not leak the secret.

But what is certain is that, except for Xiao Wang and Anthony, everyone else still knows nothing about the secret relationship between Hongliang and Amei. It seems as if they are shrouded in a thick fog and cannot get any relevant information at all.

Hongliang had managed to hide the truth from the public some time ago, but this time when A-Mei lied to him about her pregnancy, he came to his senses. He couldn't go on like this, and he had to end this ridiculous game.

Hongliang came to the United States again this time. After getting off the plane, he did not go to Amei's residence, but found a hotel to stay in.

Hongliang decided to confront Ah Mei first. He asked Ah Mei to go to a remote cafe. Ah Mei was delighted and thought that Hongliang finally came to his senses and made peace with her.

Ah Mei thought, this is good, he came to me on his own, I don’t need to go back to China to find her, but before she could say anything, Hong Liang spoke first.

"Amei, let's stop here." Hongliang said seriously. Amei's eyes widened in disbelief. "Why? Are all the things you said before false? I'm pregnant with your child!" Amei tried to keep him.

Hongliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You are not pregnant at all, don't play this trick again. We will only destroy each other if we continue like this." Amei's face turned pale, knowing that she could no longer deceive him.

"But this time it's true. I checked at the hospital a few days ago and I'm really pregnant."

Just then, Xiao Wang somehow appeared at the door of the cafe.

It turns out that he has been following Hongliang. For the sake of his wife and at the same time he hopes that the chairman will not be confused anymore, he wants to find more evidence to convince the chairman. Hongliang is shocked when he sees Xiao Wang.

"But Xiao Wang said calmly: "Actually, I don't want to ruin you, but I think it's not right to hide it from everyone." Hongliang lowered his head, he knew that the truth would come out eventually.

Anthony, who was far away in the United States, received a text message from Hongliang and was relieved to learn that Hongliang had finally made the right decision. This farce was about to come to an end.

"Brother, I am telling the truth. I definitely did not lie to you this time." Ah Mei thought that the relationship between them had reached such a level of distrust that her heart was bleeding.

"Amei, you lied to me once and now you're lying to me again, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think it's fun for you to lie to me like this? I will never believe you again. This time I'm here to tell you that we're breaking up and we're never going to be together again. How much money do you want? Just tell me and I'll give it to you. From now on, we're never going to meet again."

Ah Mei burst into tears and choked up as she said, "Hongliang, money can't buy love. I know I was wrong. I lied to you last time and I was wrong, but this child is real. If you still don't believe it, I can go to the hospital with you for another check-up right away." Ah Mei said firmly, but she was sad in her heart.

Hongliang's heart moved, and looking at Amei's pitiful appearance, he felt a little shaken.

At this time, Xiao Wang came forward and whispered: "Chairman, why not accompany her there. If it is true, it will be an explanation for this relationship; if it is false, then it may be better to sever the relationship completely." Hongliang nodded.

When they arrived at the hospital, the test results showed that she was indeed pregnant. Hongliang held Ah Mei's hand tightly, feeling guilty, "Ah Mei, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive." Ah Mei sobbed and shook her head, "I was wrong first."

"Brother, I know you're in a difficult situation. I originally wanted to avoid making things difficult for you. I wanted to have an abortion by myself, but I don't have the money to go to the hospital for an abortion," Ah Mei said while choking up.

After listening to Ah Mei's words, I felt ashamed. I was someone's lover, but I didn't even give her the most basic things. Am I still worthy of being a man? What should I do now?
