The CEO's Wife and First Love

Chapter 565 Anthony's Thoughts

"Anthony, what's wrong with you? You seem to be worried. Are you facing any problems?" Hongliang saw Anthony drinking all day long. Because he saw Anthony some time ago, he seemed to have endless energy since Li Min got engaged. Hongliang was happy for his friend.

Anthony raised his head with a dazed look. The wine glass in his hand shook and some wine spilled. "Hongliang, I... I found that I still can't forget Li Min." He smiled bitterly, his voice choked with sobs.

Hongliang was stunned. He didn't expect Anthony to say that. He thought he had let it go. "What nonsense are you talking about? You and Li Min are doing fine, and you are married to her. You even said you miss her. Don't you have him?" Hongliang reminded softly.

Anthony took a gulp of wine and said, "I know, but I can't control myself. Recently, when I was working, I was always afraid that I would lose her. Her shadow was all in my mind." Hongliang patted his shoulder.

"Brother, no matter what problem you have, you have to cheer up and life must go on. Maybe it will be fine after a while." Anthony was silent for a long time and nodded slowly.

"Brother, I'm so worried. I'm afraid Li Min will leave me." So Anthony told him the reason why he was worried about Li Min. He saw the way Yang Hongda looked at Li Min, and with his manly eyes, he saw that Yang Hongda fell in love with Li Min.

He thought that Yang Hongda was so rich, but he had no money. He became less and less confident in himself and was worried that Li Min would leave him.

At this time, Anthony's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Li Min calling. Anthony hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone. Li Min's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. Hongliang stared at Anthony nervously, "What's wrong with you?"

"Honey, are you feeling unwell?" Li Minzhong asked with concern. She noticed that Anthony's voice was a little low, and she seemed to hear that there was something wrong with Anthony's voice, as if it was a little sad.

"No, I'm fine." Anthony's voice trembled slightly, but he quickly concealed his discomfort and even forced a smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, only he himself knows how much pain and anxiety are hidden behind this smile. Because deep in Anthony's heart, his love for Li Min has penetrated into his bones and cannot be separated.

He was afraid of losing Li Min. This fear was like a dark cloud that always hung over his heart, making him breathless. Whenever he thought about the possibility of losing her, his heart would feel like it was being torn apart and in unbearable pain.

"Honey, where are you now? Come here. The Chinatown tycoon Yang Hongda wants me to discuss a contract. Come over here and accompany me." Li Min immediately asked Anthony to come over.

When Anthony heard that Li Min was going to meet Yang Hongda, his face turned very ugly. He clenched his fists tightly, his heart full of contradictions and uneasiness.

"Honey, are you feeling unwell?" Li Min noticed Anthony's abnormality and asked with concern.

Anthony forced a smile and shook his head, "I'm fine, just a little tired." His voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying to hide something.

Li Min looked at Anthony, and her doubts grew deeper and deeper. In the past few days, she clearly felt that something was wrong with Anthony. He was always absent-minded and his words became vague.

"Are you really okay?" Li Min asked again, her eyes full of worry.

Anthony took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He knew he couldn't let Li Min see his true thoughts, otherwise she would worry even more.

"I'm really fine, don't worry." Anthony gently stroked Li Min's hand, "You go meet Yang Hongda, I'll wait for you nearby."

Li Min nodded hesitantly. Although she was still a little uneasy, she didn't want to worry Anthony. She turned and walked towards the agreed location, while Anthony followed her silently, his eyes always on Li Min.

When Anthony and Li Min pushed open the heavy door and stepped into the luxurious box that Yang Hongda had carefully reserved for Li Min, a luxurious and elegant atmosphere hit them. The lights in the box were soft and warm, making the entire space look like a dream.

Yang Hongda had already been sitting on the sofa, and his eyes shot towards Li Min like an arrow the moment the door was opened. When he saw Li Min's figure appear in front of him, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if the whole world became bright at that moment.

His heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart. He stood up and greeted Li Min with a warm smile on his face.

However, beneath this superficial excitement, Yang Hongda's heart was like a vast ocean, with thoughts surging and thousands of ideas interweaving in his mind. He was thinking about how to better communicate with Li Min, how to make her feel his sincerity and enthusiasm, and how to inadvertently show his charm and demeanor.

"Mr. Li, please come in." Yang Hongda was feeling happy, but when he suddenly saw Anthony following behind him, his happy heart suddenly sank for a beat, but he still held back, as he didn't want Li Min to see it.

Yang Hongda quickly adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, this is..." Li Min introduced: "This is my husband Anthony." Yang Hongda stretched out his hand, "I've heard a lot about you, let's sit together." Anthony shook his hand coldly, then pulled Li Min to sit aside.

When the negotiation started, Yang Hongda tried to get closer to Li Min, constantly offering favorable conditions for cooperation, and his eyes would linger on Li Min from time to time. Anthony saw this, and his jealousy and uneasiness became stronger.

He suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, let's talk about cooperation. I hope you can maintain the proper distance and respect." Yang Hongda's face changed, but he immediately smiled again, "Mr. An, don't get me wrong, I just value the cooperation with Mr. Li too much." Li Min was also a little embarrassed.

He quickly tried to smooth things over, "Everyone calm down, let's talk about business first." But the atmosphere became increasingly tense because of Anthony's words, and it seemed that an invisible war had just begun.

"Anthony, what's wrong with you today?" Li Min's voice revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety. She quickly glanced at Anthony, hoping that he would understand what she meant.

Li Min felt a little unhappy. She thought to herself: "We are here to discuss business today. How can you be like this? Don't you even have a little bit of tact?" She couldn't help but think of the old Anthony. He was not like this back then.

Li Min's thoughts drifted back to the past. At that time, Anthony was always able to keenly capture various details, knowing how to say the right words and do the right things at the right time. But now, he seemed to have become a different person, which made Li Min feel very confused and helpless.

"Husband, you were not like this before! What's wrong with you now?" Li Min couldn't help but complain softly, looking at Anthony with a slightly reproachful look.

As the saying goes, good people tend to lose their rationality once they fall in love, and Anthony had already seen what Yang Hongda was thinking...
