The CEO's Wife and First Love

Li Min's morning sickness had reached alarming levels. She vomited almost everything she ate, and she had lost a lot of weight. Anthony watched Li Min suffer so much, feeling helpless and anxious, like an ant on a hot pan.

"Lizhen, when will your mother-in-law arrive in the United States? Please tell me quickly!" Anthony couldn't contain his inner anxiety, so he called Lizhen and asked anxiously.

Li Zhen heard Anthony's anxious voice and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, it will be here soon, in just a few days. My mother-in-law needs some time to come to the United States. She needs to arrange her family affairs first before she can come. How about this, I will buy her a plane ticket tomorrow so that she can come as soon as possible."

Anthony felt a little relieved after hearing what Li Zhen said, but he still said with some worry: "Then you must do it as soon as possible. I am really worried about Li Min's health."

Lizhen quickly called her mother-in-law Jinlan and said anxiously, "Mom, are you ready? I'm going to buy the tickets tomorrow!" Due to time constraints, Lizhen had to urge her mother-in-law to speed up the preparations.

Jinlan on the other end of the phone quickly replied: "Don't worry, Lizhen, Mom has prepared it a long time ago! Is there anything you particularly want to eat? Mom will bring it to you." Jinlan was overjoyed. There was only Lizhen in her heart, and she couldn't wait to meet her daughter-in-law's needs.

Lizhen hesitated for a moment, then cautiously said, "Mom, can you bring some food with a stronger flavor and a slightly sour taste to the United States? Food that's suitable for pregnant women." She didn't dare to tell her mother-in-law directly about her pregnancy, for fear that it would bring too much surprise or pressure to her mother-in-law.

However, when Grandma Jinlan heard this, the expression on her face instantly became extremely excited, as if a child had obtained her most beloved toy. Her eyes lit up, and her body trembled slightly involuntarily, and she almost jumped up like a child.

Jinlan couldn't wait to ask, "What's wrong, Lizhen? Do you have any special good news to tell your mother? Tell me quickly, don't make your mother worry! Whatever you want to eat, no matter what it is, your mother will bring it to you!" Her voice was full of anticipation and joy, as if she had foreseen a good news.

At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through Jinlan's mind—could her daughter-in-law be pregnant again? The thought made her heart beat faster, and an indescribable excitement surged through her. She stared at Lizhen, eyes wide, as if trying to find a clue in her expression.

Li Zhen felt a little helpless when she saw her mother-in-law so excited. She quickly waved her hands and explained, "Don't worry, Mom. It's not that I'm craving something sour. Actually, it's a friend's wife who's pregnant. She's in a special situation and can't eat anything. She especially wants something sour. I'm just afraid you'll worry, so I'm telling you this."

After listening to Lizhen's explanation, her mother-in-law Jinlan suddenly understood and smiled awkwardly. She said, "Oh, so that's how it is. Look at me, I'm so old and confused. I thought you had something wrong. Really, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The next day, Lizhen asked her assistant Xiao Liu in China to send her mother-in-law Jinlan to the airport. When Jinlan got on the plane and it just took off, she was scared to death, especially the traction when the plane took off. This was her first time on a plane. She didn't know if it was because of fear or some other reason, but Jinlan not only had tinnitus, but she also felt a little panicked and her hands and feet were shaking.

"What's wrong with you, old lady?" Jin Lan's reaction immediately caught the attention of the flight attendant.

"The plane was flying so high, I was really scared!" Jin Lan said with horror on her face. Her voice trembled slightly and her hands began to shake involuntarily.

Seeing this, the flight attendant nearby smiled and comforted her, "Auntie, don't be afraid. Look how smoothly this plane flies, just like walking on flat ground. Just treat this place as your home, relax, and don't think about being on a plane. That way you won't be so scared."

The flight attendant's voice was soft and kind, like a warm spring breeze, gently caressing Jinlan's heart. With the flight attendant's enthusiastic guidance, Jinlan gradually calmed down. She began to try to follow the flight attendant's instructions, focusing her attention on the "flat ground" beneath her feet. Slowly, her fear dissipated.

The flight attendant, smiling, gracefully poured Jinlan a cup of steaming hot tea and gently placed it on the small table in front of her. Then, the flight attendant took the seat next to Jinlan and began to chat happily with her.

The flight attendant's voice was gentle and welcoming, and Jinlan's previously tense nerves gradually relaxed in this warm atmosphere. Jinlan was no ordinary housewife; she was cheerful, bold, and intelligent. Before long, she completely relaxed, her conversation with the flight attendant becoming increasingly engaging, and her mood grew more cheerful.

"Girls, you girls are so beautiful!" Jinlan exclaimed. "Your parents must have done great deeds in their past lives to give birth to such beautiful and outstanding daughters like you. If I had daughters as beautiful as you, I would probably wake up laughing in my dreams!"

The flight attendant chuckled at Jinlan's compliments, and the two of them chatted about more and more topics, from work to life, from hobbies to life ideals. Jinlan found that this flight attendant was not only beautiful in appearance, but also kind and warm in heart, which made her feel particularly close.

As time went on, Jinlan completely forgot her fear of being on the plane and immersed herself in the pleasant conversation with the flight attendants. Her laughter echoed in the cabin from time to time, attracting curious glances from other passengers.

Jinlan is not only generous and outgoing, but also very welcoming. When she saw the flight attendants, she immediately pulled out some local specialties she had brought from home and enthusiastically handed them to them, saying, "Thank you, Auntie! These are some local specialties from my home. Please try them!"

However, the flight attendants immediately declined Jinlan's offer, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but our company has a policy that we cannot accept gifts from customers."

Seeing this, Jinlan quickly explained, "This is just a local specialty from my own home. I'm sincerely grateful to you, and you just helped me! I'm not bribing you, so don't be afraid. I'm your auntie to testify for you! Just eat it with confidence!"

Despite Jinlan's insistence, the flight attendants remained unmoved. They firmly stated, "Auntie, please don't make things difficult for us. We really can't eat your food."

It turned out that these flight attendants strictly abided by the company's regulations, and no matter how Jinlan persuaded them, they refused to accept these local specialties.

"Oh, why are you so stubborn?" Jin Lan tried her best to give it to the flight attendants, but they refused to accept it.
