Heart Stealer

The next morning, the sun had not yet risen completely, the sky was a faint pale gray, and the hustle and bustle of the city was just beginning to wake up.

Zhang Sufang couldn't wait to go out. She walked quickly and soon arrived at the Jindu Hotel.

After entering the hotel lobby, Zhang Sufang went straight to the Human Resources Office and completed the resignation procedures skillfully and quickly.

After finishing, she walked out of the hotel door and took a deep breath, as if to expel all the memories of her past work here.

Zhang Sufang took out her cell phone and called Senior Brother Xiao Tuobang, saying softly, "Senior Brother, can we meet at Ruyi Restaurant after get off work? I have something I want to discuss with you."

After receiving a positive answer, she hung up the phone.

In the evening, the sun sets and the afterglow shines on the streets, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling.

Xiao Tuobang arrived at the "Ruyi Restaurant" at the agreed time, and as soon as he entered, he saw Zhang Sufang sitting in the corner.

As he approached, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Zhang Sufang looked a little solemn, as if she was worried about something.

"Junior sister, is there something you want to talk to me about today? You don't look right." Xiao Tuobang asked with concern, his eyes full of worry.

Zhang Sufang shook her head slightly, forcing a smile. "Brother, I'm fine." She paused, as if gathering her thoughts, and then slowly said, "I came to you today to talk to you about repaying the money."

When Xiao Tuobang heard this, a puzzled look appeared on his face: "Pay back? Junior Sister, didn't you say before that you wanted to pay in installments? Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to pay it off in one lump sum? Where did you get so much money?"

Zhang Sufang sighed softly and explained with a smile: "Brother, I originally planned to pay it back slowly in installments. Yesterday, Jing Tianxin gave me a bank card and asked me to pay off all my debts."

Xiao Tuobang's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise, "Junior sister, why did Jing Tianxin suddenly lend you money? Could it be that you...?"

Zhang Sufang nodded and said shyly, "Yes, he said it was what he should do."

Xiao Tuobang was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that his junior sister had just started working in the city and had already started dating Young Master Jing in the city.

Xiao Tuobang's eyes fell on his junior sister. Her clothes, jewelry and bags were all brand new luxury brands.

Xiao Tuobang frowned and asked anxiously, "Junior sister, tell me, did Jing Tianxin force you..."

Zhang Sufang looked displeased. She pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Brother, you misunderstood us. Jing Tianxin and I are truly in love."

The disparity in status between Jing Tianxin and Zhang Sufang was too great. Xiao Tuobang worriedly advised: "Junior sister, Jing Tianxin is not suitable for you... I'm worried that you will get hurt."

Zhang Sufang smiled and said firmly: "Brother, I believe Jing Tianxin is sincere, and I also believe in our love."

Xiao Tuobang was silent for a while, then sighed: "Okay, Junior Sister. Since you have made your decision, I don't want to say anything more. I hope you won't be deceived."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Sufang smiled and nodded, with a confident glint in her eyes.

The two chatted for a while, reminiscing about the good times they had, and then they left the restaurant.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Qiu Xue was watching TV in the living room when she suddenly received a call from Xiao Tuobang.

"Hello, wife, I'm going home early from get off work tonight." Xiao Tuobang's magnetic and deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Qiu Xue's face immediately revealed a smile of surprise, and she said excitedly, "Really? Honey, that's great!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Xue couldn't wait to rush into the kitchen. While humming a little tune, she skillfully tied an apron and began to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Xiao Tuobang.

She remembered the last time she invited Xiao Tuobang home to taste the dishes she cooked, but she accidentally burnt the food. Qiu Xue felt deeply guilty about it.

This time, she decided to perform well and make up for her last mistake with delicious food.

In the evening, the dishes that Qiu Xue had carefully prepared were finally served.

She carefully brought the dishes to the table.

These delicacies look delicious and emit an enticing aroma.

Qiu Xue sat in the living room, waiting expectantly for Xiao Tuobang to come home and taste her cooking.

She held her chin with both hands, her eyes looking towards the door from time to time, imagining Xiao Tuobang's surprise and satisfaction when he tasted her food.

The hands kept turning. An hour passed and the food was almost cold, but there was still no sign of Xiao Tuobang.

Qiu Xue began to feel anxious and uneasy. She stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, her mind full of random thoughts.

"It's so late, why hasn't Tuobang come back yet? Did something happen?" Qiuxue said to herself.

She comforted herself that maybe the company had some urgent matters to deal with, so Xiao Tuobang was delayed.

Qiu Xue waited for another hour with an empty stomach, but there was still no sign of Xiao Tuobang.

Qiu Xue's mood became increasingly depressed, her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with sadness and disappointment.

She walked to the dining table and looked at the cold dishes, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Did he forget? Or does he simply not care about the food I cooked?" Qiu Xue muttered to herself.

She decided to call Xiao Tuobang to ask about the situation, but she was worried about disturbing him at work, so she could only wait silently.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Qiu Xue immediately ran over and opened the door.

I saw Xiao Tuobang standing outside the door, looking exhausted, obviously he had just returned.

Qiu Xue looked at him, feeling happy and relieved, but also angry and disappointed.

"Husband, why did you come back just now?" Qiu Xue asked with a reproachful tone.

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiuxue and explained, "I'm sorry, honey. I encountered some unexpected situations today, so I came back late."

After listening to his explanation, Qiu Xue's anger subsided a little, but she was still very disappointed.

She turned and walked into the restaurant, pointing to the dishes on the table and said: "Honey, look, these dishes are cold. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xiao Tuobang walked to the dining table and looked at the dishes on the table. He said apologetically, "Wife, haven't you eaten yet? I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that when I got off work, a friend suddenly asked me out for dinner. I'm a little tired today. You can heat up the food and eat it yourself. I'm going upstairs to rest first."

Qiu Xue thought about her worries and anxieties throughout the night, and the grievances in her heart surged like a tide.

"Do you know I've been waiting for you all night? How could you treat me like this?" Qiu Xue asked in a trembling voice.

"I'm sorry, honey." Xiao Tuobang said softly, "I really didn't mean it. I'm just too tired and want to rest."

Qiu Xue decided not to argue with Xiao Tuobang anymore, so as not to make herself more sad.

"Forget it, go and rest." Qiu Xue said coldly, "I'm tired too."

After Xiao Tuobang went upstairs, Qiu Xue sat on the sofa and felt more and more aggrieved. Tears fell like beads from a broken string.

After crying enough, Qiuxue thought about how busy Tuobang was at work and she should be more considerate of him.

Qiuxue heated up one or two dishes for herself and reluctantly ate a bowl of rice.
