Heart Stealer

In the afternoon, the sunlight was soft and warm, shining on the street, illuminating Qiuxue's slightly tired yet joyful figure.

She held tightly in her hand the test report she had just received from the hospital and walked out of the hospital gate with somewhat slow steps.

Qiu Xue suddenly felt her stomach heavy, as if something was growing inside.

She subconsciously reached out her hand and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, feeling the wonderful changes.

Her heart was filled with joy and anticipation, as if she could already see the little life growing healthily in her belly.

Qiu Xue had already forgotten about the awkwardness between her and Xiao Tuobang. She couldn't wait to take out her cell phone and wanted to share this joy with him immediately.

She changed her mind and decided to save the surprise for the night and give her husband an unexpected surprise.

Qiu Xue turned into the vegetable market and bought some fresh vegetables, meat and seafood. Her face was filled with a happy smile.

After returning home, Qiu Xue went into the kitchen and made soup and stewed meat herself.

She carefully selected the ingredients and mixed the seasonings meticulously. She scooped up a spoonful of soup with a spoon and tasted it. It was fresh, tender and delicious.

Sister Zhen, who was helping out at the side, saw Qiu Xue's cheerful expression, which was very different from usual. She asked curiously, "Miss, you cooked so many dishes today. Are you having guests?"

Qiu Xue smiled and shook her head, saying, "Sister Zhen, the young master has been too busy lately. I want to cook a few more dishes for him to nourish his body."

Sister Zhen stammered, "But...but Miss, the young master went on a business trip to another province at noon today. Didn't he tell you?"

"What? The young master is on a business trip?" Qiu Xue instantly lost her spirit. She put down the spoon and asked Sister Zhen to put away the unwashed and cut vegetables.

Qiu Xue was a little angry with Xiao Tuobang, but when she touched her belly and thought of the baby, all her worries disappeared.

Qiuxue had a particularly good appetite today. She ate two bowls of rice and almost finished several dishes.

She wanted to make up for the meals she had missed in the past two months.

Before going to bed, Qiu Xue picked up her phone to check if there were any messages she had missed.

She was surprised to find that her phone had been turned off all day. She pressed the power button and the screen lit up, showing a bunch of missed calls.

Among them, the call from Xiao Tuobang was particularly conspicuous.

Qiu Xue hesitated for a moment, but decided to call back.

The call was quickly connected, and Xiao Tuobang's voice came anxiously: "Wife, where have you been today? Why can't I get through on the phone? I was so worried."

When Qiu Xue heard Xiao Tuobang's concern, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She smiled mysteriously and said, "Oh, sorry, I accidentally pressed the power button. Honey, how long will you be away on business? I have a surprise for you."

"About three days. Wife, what's the surprise? Tell me quickly." Xiao Tuobang's voice was full of anticipation.

"I'll tell you when you get back." Qiu Xue deliberately kept it a secret and hung up the phone. She imagined Xiao Tuobang anxiously waiting on the other end of the line and couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Qiu Xue called her parents-in-law again.

After the call was connected, she excitedly told them: "Mom and Dad, guess what good news I have to tell you?"

My parents-in-law seemed a little confused on the other end of the phone, but soon their voices became excited: "Are you pregnant?"

"Yes!" Qiu Xue smiled happily, "I've been pregnant for more than two months!"

When the parents-in-law heard the news, they were very happy. They told Qiuxue to take good rest and take care of herself over the phone.

After Qiu Xue hung up the phone, she knew that she was about to welcome a new life and start a brand new journey.

She felt extremely lucky and happy, and she looked forward to sharing this joy with Xiao Tuobang.

Three days later, Xiao Tuobang returned home from his business trip.

As soon as he entered the house, he felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little strange.

The table was filled with sumptuous dishes, with a very reasonable combination of meat and vegetables and a very balanced nutrition.

Qiu Xue's appetite seemed to be much bigger than before. She even ate one more bowl of rice than Xiao Tuobang.

At night, the two of them hugged each other in bed.

After a long separation, they kissed each other passionately, but when Xiao Tuobang wanted to go a step further, Qiu Xue rejected him.

The business trip these days made Xiao Tuobang feel physically and mentally exhausted. He didn't care too much and fell asleep quickly.

The next afternoon, Ye Qingyun invited Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue to dinner and apologized again for his poor hospitality.

At the dinner table, Qiu Xue and Ye Qingyun had a very pleasant chat and they had many common topics.

They talked endlessly about everything from company matters to trivial matters at home.

Xiao Tuobang felt like a superfluous person, he could only eat the food in silence.

After dinner, Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang went for a walk on the pedestrian street together.

Qiu Xue hugged Xiao Tuobang's arm, her happiness was beyond words.

She pulled Xiao Tuobang to a stall selling balloons and stopped.

"Honey, I want to buy a balloon." Qiu Xue said coquettishly.

"These balloons are for children to play with. How can you, as an adult, still play with them?" Xiao Tuobang answered helplessly.

"No, no, I just want to buy one." Qiu Xue shook Xiao Tuobang's arm coquettishly.

Xiao Tuobang couldn't resist Qiu Xue's coquettishness, so he had to help her pick out a dark blue cartoon balloon.

Qiu Xue was not satisfied and chose another balloon. She held the balloon and smiled like a child.

Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang were walking hand in hand on the bustling streets, enjoying a rare leisure time.

Suddenly, a familiar greeting interrupted their tranquility: "Ms. Qiu, Tuobang, what a coincidence, I actually ran into you here."

Qiu Xue looked up and saw Jing Tianxin walking towards them. He had a smile on his face, but there was a barely perceptible gloom in his eyes.

Qiu Xue just nodded slightly as a response to Jing Tianxin's greeting.

Jing Tianxin saw Qiu Xue's cold attitude and seemed a little dissatisfied. He frowned slightly and asked, "Miss Qiu, can you lend me your husband for a few minutes? I have something to talk to him about."

Qiu Xue hesitated for a moment, but nodded. She thought that Jing Tianxin was an old acquaintance, and perhaps there was something important that she needed to discuss with Xiao Tuobang.

She said to Xiao Tuobang, "You go first, I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Tuobang nodded and said to Jing Tianxin: "Okay, let's go over there and talk."

Qiu Xue watched Xiao Tuobang and Jing Tianxin cross the road and walk towards an alley in the distance.

She remembered what Jing Tianxin had said a few days ago, about the rumor that Xiao Tuobang might have had an affair. Qiu Xue's heart tightened.
