The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 631 Mom, I'm Back

The next day, Zekai and Wanqing boarded the flight back home. On the plane, Wanqing saw Zekai's worries and chatted with him about family matters, trying to ease his tension.

Nora, who was far away in the United States, returned home alone, looking at the empty house, her heart full of longing. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Zekai's trip would go smoothly and come back soon.

After arriving in China, Zekai and Wanqing ignored the fatigue of the journey and immediately threw themselves into work. They wanted to finish the work first and then go to see their parents.

After more than a day of hard work, Li Zekai and the technical staff they brought with them finally solved the problem. "You can go around and see our Chinese customs and culture. Manager Li and I will go home to see our parents first." After completing the task, they immediately told the other technical staff to rest, and Wanqing and Li Zekai went home to see their parents.

"Okay." Everyone went back to the hotel to rest happily, and Wanqing and Zekai went home separately.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Li Zekai has left his hometown and come to the United States for five years. During these five years, he has been busy with his studies and has never had the opportunity to return home.

I still remember that when he first arrived in the United States, his parents repeatedly urged him to concentrate on his studies and not be disturbed by the outside world. Li Zekai also knew his parents' expectations, so he devoted himself to his studies wholeheartedly.

However, fate is always full of uncertainties. In the second year of Li Zekai's study in the United States, a sudden bad news broke his peaceful life - his father had an accident. This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Li Zekai, who was far away in a foreign country, instantly fell into great grief.

Facing the misfortune of his family, Li Zekai was extremely anxious, but due to financial constraints, he could not go home to visit his father immediately. Although his heart was full of concern and worry for his family, he could only endure it silently and continue to work hard in a foreign country.

When Zekai found his mother, she was no longer living in the spacious villa where they used to live, but in the three-bedroom house where they lived when they first arrived here. When they moved to the villa, his father said he wanted to sell the house, but his mother was reluctant to do so. She said she wanted to keep it here as a commemoration. Fortunately, they didn't sell it. Fortunately, they didn't buy a new house, otherwise his mother would have no house to live in now.

"Peng Peng" "Who is it?" "Mom, it's me, Kai Kai"

When my mother slowly opened the old door, the sunlight shone through the crack in the door onto her slightly pale face, and her eyes revealed a hint of expectation and uneasiness.

"Mom!" A deep and kind voice came from outside the door, as if relatives who had been reunited after a long separation were calling each other. Mom's body trembled slightly, and she raised her head quickly, her eyes falling on the familiar figure.

Standing at the door was Zekai, with a faint smile on his face, but that smile concealed a trace of barely perceptible fatigue. He had returned the day before yesterday, but he did not tell his mother the news, because he knew that his mother's health was not good, and living alone at home, her ability to bear it might be limited.

Zekai was worried that his mother would be too excited and affect her health, so he decided to complete his task first and then go home to visit his mother. However, when he really stood in front of his mother, the guilt and longing in his heart surged into his heart like a tide.

Mom's eyes gradually became moist, and her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out. Zekai walked up quickly and hugged his mother tightly, feeling her warm but thin body.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and all the worries and anxieties were melted by this affectionate embrace. Mom finally came to her senses, she gently stroked Zekai's hair, and murmured: "My child, you are finally back..."

When Zekai saw his mother, he could not help but feel sad. His mother's shiny black hair had now turned gray, with only a few strands of black hair mixed in. Her once fair skin was also deeply marked by time, with the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and the wrinkles on her forehead, all telling of her mother's vicissitudes.

Zekai's eyes lingered on his mother's face for a long time, trying to find the familiarity in that old face. His mother's eyes were still gentle, but there was more fatigue and worry in them. Her smile was no longer as bright as before, but with a hint of bitterness.

Zekai's throat tightened, his eyes moistened, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string. He knew that his mother had sacrificed too much for this family and for him. Her youth was gradually lost in the busyness and hard work. But he never realized his mother's hard work and did not accompany her properly.

At this moment, Zekai secretly made up his mind that he would study and work harder to let his mother live a happy life. He would repay his mother's kindness with his actions and let her face bloom with a bright smile again.

Li Zekai and his mother calmed down a little bit, and they sat on the sofa in the living room in silence. However, at this moment, his mother suddenly seemed to remember something, and her eyes passed Li Zekai and looked behind him.

There was a hint of anticipation in my mother's eyes, as if she was waiting for someone to show up. She glanced around the living room and then stopped at the door, as if someone should come in there.

After a while, a look of disappointment gradually emerged on the mother's face. She turned her head and stared at Li Zekai, and asked in a somewhat stern tone: "Kaikai, why did you come back alone? Why didn't your girlfriend come back? Did you break up?"

Li Zekai was caught off guard by his mother's questioning. His already depressed mood became even worse. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but found that he didn't know where to start.

Zekai hurriedly walked to his mother and carefully supported her, fearing that she would accidentally fall. Then, he gently guided his mother to the sofa and let her sit down slowly.

His mother looked at Zekai with a puzzled look on her face, as if she was a little surprised by his sudden return. Zekai took a deep breath, calmed himself, and explained to his mother in an extremely gentle tone: "Mom, I came back this time because the company has a business trip to handle. Do you still remember my school classmate Wanqing? It's her father's company that has business dealings with our company. Now they have encountered some technical problems, so our company sent me here to help solve them. I really came back for work this time, don't worry"

"You scared me to death. I thought you broke up with Nora. Such a good girl, you sent her away. Where can you find her?" Mom didn't like Nora at first and said she was a foreigner. But after Li Zekai's father got into trouble, Nora stayed with Li Zekai and she was very moved. She looked at Nora with a new eye and she liked Nora very much.

Zekai's words were like a spring breeze, and a smile of understanding gradually appeared on his mother's face. She nodded, her eyes showing concern and satisfaction for her son.

"Mom, I'm going to see Dad tomorrow"

"Okay, I'll go with you."
