The CEO's Wife and First Love

Lizhen returned home and told Wang Kun that Ma Aihua was looking for a Chinese boyfriend. "Call Li Min. She has been in the United States longer than us."

"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Li Zhen immediately picked up the phone and called Li Min. As soon as the call was connected, Li Min started yelling, "Li Zhen, you are really the worm in my stomach. I just wanted to find you."

"What's wrong? Did you miss me? But you're probably thinking of Anthony, right?" Li Zhen teased, a smile on her lips as she looked at Li Min. She knew it all: Li Min and Anthony's relationship was the best of all the couples.

When Li Min heard this, she immediately became like a deflated ball and said with a pout, "Oh, stop teasing me. I'm almost mad at Anthony!" As she spoke, her brows were tightly furrowed, as if she had a lot of bitterness in her heart that she wanted to pour out.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly." Seeing this, Li Zhen quickly put away her smile and asked with concern.

Li Min sighed and continued, "A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a checkup and found out I'm pregnant! This should have been a happy occasion, but I've been craving sour food these days. Anthony's mother insisted that we Thais have a saying that pregnant women can't eat sour food, and she wouldn't let me eat it. I told her I really wanted to eat it, but Anthony sided with his mother and told me to listen to her. His mother is uneducated, doesn't understand anything, and is extremely stubborn!"

Li Min grew increasingly excited as she spoke, her voice rising an octave unconsciously. Li Zhen listened quietly, and when Li Min finished, she spoke up: "Really? Li Min, this is such great news! I have to congratulate you!" Li Zhen's face was filled with genuine joy, even happier than Li Min herself.

You know, Li Min has always wanted a child, but she hasn't been able to conceive in the past few years, and she often blamed Anthony for this. Now that she finally got her wish, Li Zhen is naturally happy for her.

"You want to eat sour food so much? Then I'll call home and ask my mother-in-law. She's amazing and can cook anything! I'll ask her if she can eat sour food, and then ask her how to make sour food, and then I'll make it for you here." As Lizhen spoke, she picked up her cell phone and dialed home.

At this moment, Lizhen suddenly thought of her mother-in-law, Jinlan. When she was pregnant, no matter what she wanted to eat, her mother-in-law would do everything she could to satisfy her wishes. Her mother-in-law was a skilled cook, always making all kinds of delicious dishes to satisfy Lizhen's appetite. Lizhen couldn't help but sigh, how lucky she was to have such a kind mother-in-law.

Lizhen decided to bring her mother-in-law over to help care for Li Min. After all, Li Min was pregnant and needed special foods for nutritional support. Knowing the crucial importance of a pregnant woman's diet, Lizhen hoped her mother-in-law, with her extensive experience and traditional cooking skills, could prepare nutritious and delicious meals for Li Min.

Lizhen imagined her mother-in-law busy in the kitchen after arriving in the United States. She would carefully select fresh ingredients and meticulously prepare each dish, ensuring Li Min gets enough protein, vitamins, and minerals. Lizhen looked forward to her mother-in-law recreating those familiar flavors of home, allowing Li Min to feel the warmth of home even in a foreign country.

Lizhen also hopes her mother-in-law can enjoy her time here. She plans to take her mother-in-law to visit famous American landmarks and experience a different culture. This will broaden her horizons and allow her to experience a different kind of exotic culture. Lizhen believes this reunion will not only allow Li Min to receive better care but also strengthen the bond between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Okay, thank you so much! If you can really bring your mother-in-law over, I will reimburse all her expenses, including air tickets." Li Min said gratefully.

Li Min had been having a tough time these past few days. Her pregnancy had made her body extremely sensitive, and she was developing a food aversion, barely able to eat anything. This not only impacted her health but also left her feeling listless, as if she'd lost her former energy.

What further troubled Li Min was that her mother-in-law didn't seem to know how to take care of a pregnant woman. Not only was her mother-in-law a poor cook, unable to make any delicious meals, but she was also extremely stubborn and always liked to interfere in Li Min's affairs, which made Li Min feel very depressed and helpless.

However, just when Li Min was feeling down, she overheard a conversation between Li Zhen and someone else. Li Zhen's mother-in-law was not only capable but also very considerate and attentive to her feelings, which made Li Min feel envious. She wished she could have such a considerate mother-in-law!

After thinking for a moment, Lizhen couldn't wait to tell Wang Kun her idea: "My dear, I suddenly had an idea, I wonder what you think. I want to bring Jinlan's mother over to live with us for a while. Mom has been busy and toiling for us all her life, and now it's time for her to enjoy a peaceful life. Besides, Li Min is pregnant now, and she must have a lot of things she wants to eat. Mom is so capable, she can come over and help her make some. Do you remember? When I was pregnant, Mom was so good to me. As long as I wanted to eat something, she would work hard to make it for me. So, I think having Mom come over will not only make her happy, but also let Li Min feel the warmth of home."

Lizhen's words were both clever and thoughtful. She not only expressed her gratitude to her mother-in-law but also emphasized her mother-in-law's ability and care for her family. This naturally made Wang Kun feel that Lizhen was very filial. He also thought that bringing his mother to the United States would not only allow her to see the world but also give his mother-in-law face in front of the neighbors—a truly win-win situation.

"Great! My wife is so filial!" Wang Kun smiled delightedly and continued, "No wonder my mother treats me better than herself. If the two of us were standing in front of her, she would probably rather give up on me, her biological son, than on you, her good daughter-in-law! After all, you're so good to her, and she sees it all and remembers it all."

Wang Kun was now very clever, and he certainly understood the true meaning of Li Zhen's words, but he did not expose her. Instead, he praised her profusely, which naturally made Li Zhen very happy.

These two have become increasingly wise. They have come to realize that for a couple to get along, they need to be humble and appreciate each other. They should pretend to be ignorant of insignificant matters, even if they know the truth, and encourage each other. Only in this way can their relationship last and be happy.

"Okay, I'll call my mom right away, and we'll buy her a plane ticket to the United States."
