The CEO's Wife and First Love

Hongliang walked with heavy steps, looking back every step. Suddenly, Hongliang turned around and hugged Xiao Wang. "Thank you, Xiao Wang. If there is any situation at home, please take care of me. If there is any problem, call me immediately."

"Chairman, I will," Xiao Wang answered him emotionally, but tears were rolling in his eyes, and he tried hard to hold them back.

Hongliang's lingering gaze always stayed on Xiao Wang who came to see him off not far away.

Escorted by Xiao Wang's concerned and slightly sad gaze, Hongliang slowly boarded the plane.

However, the moment he stepped into the cabin, a strong sense of regret suddenly surged in his heart.

How could he leave so easily? At home, he had a wife whom he loved deeply, and his lovely children were eagerly waiting for his early return.

At this moment, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.

Every step he took felt like he was walking on the tip of a knife, piercing his guilty heart.

The warm scenes of his time with his wife and children kept flashing through his mind: his wife’s gentle smile, the children’s innocent laughter… These beautiful memories came flooding in like a tide, drowning him completely.

Hongliang leaned back in his seat, holding his chest tightly with both hands, trying to calm the painful emotions surging in his heart. However, no matter how hard he tried, the feeling of being stabbed in the heart still lingered.

Tears gradually blurred his eyes, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "What on earth have I done..." The unspeakable pain in his heart was like bitter bile, rolling in his throat, making it difficult for him to swallow.

"Comrade, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" The flight attendant saw Hongliang's painful expression and immediately stepped forward to ask.

Hongliang didn't even raise his head and waved at her, "I'm fine, just leave me alone." He didn't dare to look up, for he was afraid that others would see his current appearance and be frightened by him.

When the flight attendant saw that she was rejected, she left immediately, but she immediately asked the chief flight attendant, who immediately told her to "pay more attention to him and report to me immediately if there is any situation."

"Okay." At this time on the plane, there was a pair of eyes that were always paying attention to Hongliang's emotions and changes.

"Comrade, do you need some water?" Hongliang became a special customer on the plane, and there was always someone who was eager to help and care about him.

"Comrade, here is your meal, please enjoy." The flight attendant smiled and gently handed the plate to Hongliang. Her kind and enthusiastic voice was like a warm spring breeze blowing through my heart.

After a while, the flight attendant came over and asked with concern: "Sir, do you need some drinks? We have coffee, tea and juice to choose from." She bent down slightly and looked at Hongliang with expectant eyes.

Without waiting for Hongliang to answer, the flight attendant asked, "Or, do you need a dessert to go with your meal? Today we offer delicious cakes and fruit platters." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands to indicate the appearance of various foods, appearing particularly enthusiastic.

"Thank you." Although the flight attendants were enthusiastic, Hongliang still couldn't be happy. He was in a heavy mood. After finally waiting for the plane to land at the American airport, Hongliang left the airport listlessly. Anthony came to the airport to greet him.

"Hey guys, we meet again." Hongliang looked up and saw Anthony joking with him with a grin.

Anthony immediately took over Hongliang's suitcase. He helped Hongliang drag the luggage tightly, while looking at Hongliang's listless and dejected appearance with a worried look on his face. He couldn't help but feel a deep concern in his heart.

So he stopped, patted Hongliang's shoulder gently, and asked softly: "What's the matter? You look listless, have you encountered any troubles? I thought things over there would not be settled so quickly, but I didn't expect it has been settled! And everything has been arranged properly, right? By the way, how is your wife? Is everything okay? Is there anything I can help with?" Anthony asked Hongliang with great concern.

Hongliang shook his head slowly, a trace of regret and self-blame in his eyes: "Alas... not yet. In fact, it's all my fault! It's because my considerate, gentle and caring wife is so good. Even though I did such boring and even ridiculous things before, she didn't blame or embarrass me at all."

"On the contrary, whenever I think back to the past, my heart is filled with guilt and anxiety, and I always feel that I owe her too much. So in the end, I chose to leave quietly. Maybe this is also a relief for her."

"Did Amei know you would come today? Why didn't she come to pick you up?" Anthony suddenly remembered something. His brows furrowed slightly, his eyes flickered. After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked Hongliang:

"Um... I have something to tell you. Actually, I didn't tell her in advance that I was coming here."

"I came here completely on a whim. I didn't even expect to make this decision so suddenly. Also, I don't know why, I seem to be a little resistant to seeing her. I always feel that now is not the right time. So, I was thinking if I could stay at your place for a few days? Do you think it's okay? In addition, I really need to have a good rest for a while, calm myself down, and think seriously about how to face her next. I feel that I am not mentally prepared enough to meet her at the moment." Hongliang looked distraught.

"Okay, as long as you are willing to live with me for half a year. Now I'm a single dog and have no one to accompany me. It's nice to have you accompany me," Anthony said happily.

"What are you going to eat tonight? I'll go to the supermarket to buy it for you. You won't have anything to eat when the supermarket closes," Anthony asked Hongliang with concern.

"I don't want to eat anything. I want to sleep." Hongliang hasn't slept a wink since he returned to China. Now, he has explained things to Lizhen. He has put his worries aside and now just wants to have a good sleep.

"Okay, let's have a good drink tonight and get drunk. Then we can have a good sleep," Anthony suggested.

"Okay, let's get drunk tonight and not go home until we are drunk." Hongliang thought that after getting drunk, he would forget everything and no longer think about Lizhen and the children.

Anthony brought wine glasses and they started drinking, one glass after another, and they continued drinking until the evening.

"Liang, you really abandoned your wife." Anthony was so drunk that he couldn't even finish a complete sentence.

"Brother, you are wrong. It is not me who abandoned him, but my wife who abandoned me. I have nothing left. My property, my heart, and your child are all left to my wife. Now she has everything except me, her husband, who has left her." Hongliang was drunk. He fell asleep slowly. Hongliang was tired physically and mentally. He fell asleep slowly and entered a dream. I don't know what his situation will be when he wakes up...
