The CEO's Wife and First Love

Hongliang stumbled back to Anthony's slightly shabby rental house with weak steps. Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden, making it difficult for him to support his body. After finally reaching the door, he reached out his trembling hand to hold the door handle, and gently pushed it. The door made a "creak" sound and slowly opened.

After entering the room, Hongliang closed the door with all his strength, as if to isolate himself from the outside world. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he walked straight to the simple bed and fell heavily on it.

Lying on the hard bed, Hongliang closed his eyes, but tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.

These tears of regret flowed down like a flood that broke through the dam, soaking the pillow.

At this moment, his heart was overwhelmed by a strong and heavy emotion, that is, endless regret and deep self-blame.

These emotions were like a surging tide, hitting the banks of his soul wave after wave.

The mistakes he and Amei had made were like a cursed movie, playing over and over in his mind.

Every scene and every line is so clear, as if they had just happened.

He could see the foolish decision he had made and hear the cries and accusations of Lizhen and the children who were hurt because of his mistake.

These memories haunted him like ghosts, making it impossible for him to escape.

No matter how hard he tried to drive them out of his mind, they always resurfaced, torturing his already fragile nerves over and over again.

Gradually, Hongliang was too tired, and he fell asleep in a daze, but he had nightmares. One moment, Lizhen was accused by the directors, "Where did the chairman go? We don't want to listen to what you say. We want to see the chairman. Where did he go?"

But then it was Ah Mei who said, "Haha, I have found a rich man who is richer than you. You have no money and no power now, who cares about you? Get out of here now."

"You evil person, you have hurt me so much. I used to have a good family, but you have broken it up. Now I have lost my wife and children. I came here for you and the baby in your belly, but you are here, cheating on me. You are so cruel." Hongliang was swearing at Amei.

"Hongliang, wake up quickly, what's wrong with you?" Anthony had just got off work. He was shocked to see Hongliang still sleeping in bed. He thought he had slept all day and hadn't woken up yet. He thought he was in a coma.

Hongliang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fear and confusion, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"I'm fine, I just had some nightmares." Hongliang said in a hoarse voice.

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed. "Your dream doesn't look simple. Are you under too much pressure recently?"

Hongliang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Maybe, I feel like I've made a mess of my life."

Anthony patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't blame yourself too much. What happened in the past has already happened, so find a way to make up for it or start over. You look listless now, and you won't solve any problems."

Hongliang nodded thoughtfully, "You're right, but I really don't know what to do. Lizhen will definitely not forgive me easily, and the company is also facing a lot of trouble because of the previous wrong decision."

"Take it step by step. First, deal with the matters concerning A-Mei. As for family matters, wait until you have dealt with A-Mei before helping Li-Zhen deal with some matters. But Li-Zhen is very capable. Didn't she manage the company so well during the three years when you were away? In the future, sincerely express your regret to Li-Zhen and prove with your actions that I don't want to hurt you. Li-Zhen will also understand your difficulties," Anthony advised.

Hongliang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had found a glimmer of hope from Anthony's words, "Well, let's see."

At this time, Hongliang thought of what happened to him in the morning, and his heart sank again.

"Come and let's eat." At this time, Anthony saw the bread he bought in the morning was still there, and there was a mess on the table.

"Hey, I know that as a big boss like you you must not be used to these foods. Come, I'll buy you pizza and beer tonight." Anthony immediately cleared the things on the table.

Hongliang looked at him and said he didn't want to eat. "I don't want to eat."

"As you Chinese say, 'Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for a day, you will feel hungry. How can a grown man like you not eat?" Anthony said. He took two cups and poured a glass of beer for each of them.

Anthony immediately pulled Hongliang up and said, "Let's have a toast."

Under Anthony's urging, Hongliang reluctantly took a small sip.

They sat together in silence, with a glass of amber liquid in front of them. Anthony took a sip of the wine, then slowly put the glass down and stared at the person opposite him.

After a moment's silence, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Are you going to continue to sink like this? You are no longer the high and mighty president who can call the shots. The glory of the past is gone, and you can no longer live on those old assets. And don't forget, you still have responsibilities to bear - to support a mother and the unborn child in her belly! This is not an easy task."

That's right, I even forgot what I came here for! Oh, although Ah Mei is not that good, she is pregnant with our child anyway.

How could I just ignore this? No, I absolutely couldn't continue to be depressed like this, I had to cheer myself up and get back on track! After all, as a man, I had an unshirkable responsibility to take good care of the mother and child.

Even if the road ahead is full of thorns and bumps, I must grit my teeth and keep going.

"Well, I'll go see them tomorrow." Hongliang wanted to go to Amei's place to see her.

"I'll drive you there tomorrow." Anthony saw that Hongliang had a sad face. He thought that Hongliang must not want to go to Amei's place, otherwise he would not stay with me.

"Well, I have to cheer up. There are still many things I need to do later." Hongliang looked into the distance, thinking about what he should do in the future.
