Heart Stealer

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the desk.

Xiao Tuobang came to the company early as usual and started a tense and busy day of work.

Documents piled up like mountains and the phone rang one after another. He was so busy the whole morning that he didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

Finally, the clock pointed to twelve o'clock, and Xiao Tuobang was able to have a moment to breathe.

He took a long breath and slowly leaned back in the office chair.

Due to maintaining the same posture for a long time, he felt sore all over, especially in his temples, which felt like being pulled by a tight string.

He raised his hands and gently rubbed his temples, hoping to ease his frayed nerves.

Recalling what happened yesterday, Xiao Tuobang realized that his behavior was too impulsive and willful, causing unnecessary harm to Qiu Xue.

He secretly regretted that he should have handled these problems more rationally instead of being swayed by emotions.

Xiao Tuobang decided to apologize to Qiu Xue and make up for his mistakes with practical actions.

After get off work, Xiao Tuobang couldn't wait to rush home to give Qiu Xue a surprise.

He went into the kitchen, carefully selected the ingredients, and cooked each dish with care.

Soon, the table was filled with delicious dishes.

When Xiao Tuobang walked out of the kitchen with the last dish, he saw Qiu Xue sitting on the sofa watching TV.

He walked quickly to Qiuxue's side, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly, "Wife, are you hungry? I made you some dishes you like."

Qiu Xue turned her head and looked at the plate in Xiao Tuobang's hand, smiling slightly, "Thank you, husband. But I'm not very hungry yet." As she said that, she shifted her gaze back to the TV screen.

Xiao Tuobang noticed Qiu Xue's cold attitude, but he was not discouraged.

He placed the plate on the dining table, then pulled a chair over and sat in front of Qiuxue. He looked at her affectionately and said softly, "Wife, what I said yesterday may have been a bit too much. I shouldn't have blamed you like that. Please forgive me, okay?"

"Husband, I'm also wrong. I should understand your stress and worries better." Qiu Xue said softly with her head down.

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

After dinner, Xiao Tuobang handed Qiu Xue an exquisite gift box.

"This is for you, wife. Open it and take a look."

Qiu Xue opened the box with great joy, and inside was a shining diamond necklace.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Qiu Xue exclaimed.

Xiao Tuobang personally put the necklace on Qiuxue's neck and then hugged her tightly.

"Honey, I love you. I hope this necklace will remind you of my love for you forever."

Qiu Xue felt Xiao Tuobang's warm embrace, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I love you too, hubby."

After a small incident, Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang's relationship became more stable.

It was a sunny morning with a gentle breeze.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue walked home hand in hand, both with happy smiles on their faces.

They were in an especially happy mood, as if the whole world was filled with warm sunshine.

As soon as they entered the house, they were attracted by the roses blooming in the courtyard.

Qiu Xue excitedly pointed at a blooming pink rose and said to Xiao Tuobang, "Hubby, look, this flower is so beautiful!"

Xiao Tuobang gently put his arm around Qiuxue's shoulders and responded softly, "Yes, as beautiful as you." He gazed at Qiuxue affectionately, his eyes full of love.

The two smiled at each other, their hearts filled with sweetness. They couldn't help but move closer to each other and kissed.

Just as the two were immersed in the sweet atmosphere, a clear female voice suddenly came: "Cousin, cousin, you are back."

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue were startled by the sudden sound and hurriedly separated.

They quickly turned around and saw Deng Minghui standing in the flowers not far away, with a smile on her lips and a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Xiao Tuobang asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Cousin, why didn't you call us in advance to inform us before you came." There was a hint of blame in his tone, but more of it was a welcome to his cousin's arrival.

Qiu Xue's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, trying to hide her shyness.

Seeing this, Deng Minghui couldn't help laughing out loud: "It seems that I came at the wrong time and disturbed your world of two people." She winked mischievously and teased.

Xiao Tuobang turned to look at Qiuxue and introduced, "Qiuxue, this is my cousin Deng Minghui."

Qiu Xue smiled and nodded gently, her eyes bright as stars as she said softly, "Hello, cousin."

Deng Minghui took Qiuxue's hand and said with a smile, "Hello, cousin-in-law, this is the second time we've met. I still remember the day you got married, when I snatched your wedding stick."

Qiu Xue suddenly realized that on the wedding day, she had originally thrown the flower stick to Ye Qingyun, but it was accidentally snatched away by Deng Minghui. Thinking about it now, she couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Xiao Tuobang warmly welcomed Deng Minghui into the spacious and bright living room.

Deng Minghui's smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring. She was holding an exquisite bag in her hand, which was filled with various local specialties brought from her hometown.

Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang happily accepted the gift handed over by Deng Minghui, with surprise glittering in their eyes.

These specialties from their hometown exude a familiar aroma, making them feel as if they are in the embrace of their hometown and feel the strong nostalgia.

They couldn't wait to try it and savor the taste of home.

Xiao Tuobang remembered that his uncle had asked him to help find a job for Deng Minghui.

His eyes fell on Deng Minghui, and he couldn't help but ask with concern: "Cousin, how is your job search going?"

Deng Minghui replied with a smile, her voice revealing a hint of satisfaction and confidence: "Thank you for your concern, cousin. I have found a job. I just joined the accounting department of a large company, and the work is going well."

Xiao Tuobang had always been worried that Deng Minghui would be troubled by work problems. When he learned that she had successfully started working, his worries gradually dissipated like smoke.

A relieved smile appeared on his face. "That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find a job. If that's the case, then we can rest assured."

Deng Minghui drank a cup of tea in one breath. She placed the cup on the tea tray and suddenly said, "By the way, cousin, cousin-in-law, I have a small request."

Her eyes were full of anticipation as she stared closely at Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue.

"What request? Just tell me." Xiao Tuobang answered readily, his eyes revealing his concern and love for his cousin.

"I just arrived here and I'm unfamiliar with the place. Can you take me out for a walk so I can get familiar with the environment?"

There was a hint of shyness and pleading in Deng Minghui's tone, and her face was filled with curiosity and desire for the new environment.

"Of course!" Qiu Xue agreed happily. She said enthusiastically, "We happen to be free this weekend and can take you to some fun places."

"Great! I've been wanting to go shopping for a long time." Deng Minghui cheered happily. Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, filling the entire living room.

On a weekend morning, sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, forming patches of golden light.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue dressed casually and took Deng Minghui on a journey to explore the city.

They first came to the museum in the city center, which displayed a wealth of historical relics and artworks, which opened Deng Minghui's eyes.

She carefully admired each exhibit, exclaiming in amazement from time to time.

After leaving the museum, they strolled along the paths in the park, breathing the fresh air and feeling the beauty of nature.

The park is shaded by green trees, lush flowers and plants, and birds are singing happily in the branches.

Deng Minghui was attracted by the beautiful scenery. She stopped, closed her eyes and listened quietly to the sounds of nature.

At noon, they came to a local specialty restaurant and tasted a variety of delicious dishes.

Deng Minghui praised the unique flavors highly. While enjoying the food, she shared her feelings with Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue.

In the afternoon, they continued to visit other attractions in the city, including ancient buildings, bustling commercial streets and tranquil lakes.

Deng Minghui took photos enthusiastically to record every beautiful moment.

After a day of fun, Deng Minghui felt very happy and satisfied.

She got to know the city better and felt the enthusiasm and care of Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue.

She said gratefully: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, thank you for taking me out to play today. I have had a wonderful weekend."

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue looked at Deng Minghui with a smile, their hearts also filled with joy.
