Heart Stealer

A few days later, Xiao Tuobang successfully completed his business trip. When he excitedly opened the door, he found that the house was empty.

He felt a sense of loss, thinking that Qiu Xue must still be angry with him and refused to go home.

Xiao Tuobang immediately drove to the Qiu family to pick up Qiu Xue.

The autumn sun shines through the sparse clouds and onto the Qiu family's courtyard.

It adds a sense of mystery to the originally quiet courtyard.

The door of the Qiu family was closed, as if hiding some secret.

Xiao Tuobang stopped in front of the Qiu family's gate. His brows were furrowed, and an inexplicable anxiety surged in his heart.

He looked up at the gate of the Qiu family. The heavy iron door was tightly closed, as if it cut off all contact between him and Qiu Xue.

He looked at Sister Zhen, and saw that she was standing in front of the courtyard gate like an iron tower, her figure looking particularly majestic in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Her hands were clasped together, her face showing some hesitation and worry, but her eyes were firm and resolute.

Xiao Tuobang took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner restlessness.

He walked forward and greeted Mrs. Zhen with a smile.

Mrs. Zhen looked at Xiao Tuobang with an awkward smile on her face.

She took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, "Master, you should go back first. The young lady said she doesn't want to see you, and she asked me to stop you here."

When Xiao Tuobang heard what Sister Zhen said, he felt as if he was hit by a heavy hammer.

He was stunned and speechless for a moment.

He looked at Mrs. Zhen, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement: "Why? Why doesn't the lady want to see me?" There was a hint of sob and anger in his voice.

Mrs. Zhen looked at Xiao Tuobang's painful expression and couldn't help feeling guilty and sad.

She explained softly, "I don't know why. The young lady has been very silent lately and doesn't want to talk to me. I'm just following her instructions."

Xiao Tuobang frowned. He didn't want to argue with Sister Zhen and wanted to walk past her into the courtyard.

But Mrs. Zhen suddenly opened her arms to stop him from going in.

"Sister Zhen, what do you mean?" Xiao Tuobang asked with a frown, "Quickly get out of the way, I want to go in and see the young lady."

Sister Zhen was busy apologizing, "Master, I didn't dare to stop you. The young lady said she didn't want to see you, so she asked me to stop you here. You should go back first."

"That's enough, Sister Zhen. Don't you think you talk too much?"

Xiao Tuobang's face turned red with anger. His eyes were wide open and he glared at Mrs. Zhen fiercely.

Mrs. Zhen was frightened by his anger and dared not stop him anymore.

Xiao Tuobang rushed into the courtyard with anger in his heart, like an enraged beast.

After entering the living room, he found that it was empty. His anger grew even stronger and he rushed straight up the stairs.

Walking to Qiuxue's door, he pounded on it hard, and the sound echoed throughout the corridor.

"Qiuxue, open the door quickly!" Xiao Tuobang's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction.

He waited outside the door for a long time, but there was still no movement in the room.

Xiao Tuobang's patience was gradually exhausted. He raised his fist again, pounding on the door while shouting, "Qiuxue, if you don't open the door, I'll kick it in!"

This sentence finally took effect and the door slowly opened.

Qiu Xue was wearing a loose pajamas, her eyes were blurry and her hair was messy. It was obvious that she had just been awakened from her sleep.

She rubbed her eyes with her hands and looked at Xiao Tuobang sleepily. Her innocent eyes made people feel pity.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice as she said, "Tuobang, you're back. I was taking a nap, and you were so noisy that you woke me up."

When Xiao Tuobang saw Qiu Xue's expression, most of the anger in his heart instantly disappeared.

His tone became gentle: "I'm sorry, Qiuxue, I apologize for my rude behavior just now. I'll pick you up, let's go home."

Qiu Xue ignored what Xiao Tuobang said. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Tuobang, go back by yourself. I don't plan to go back to that house anymore."

Xiao Tuobang was very angry after hearing Qiuxue's words. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Qiuxue, what do you mean?"

Qiu Xue sat on the sofa, her hands clasped tightly together, as if suppressing her inner anger.

She looked at Xiao Tuobang, her eyes filled with disappointment and anger.

"Tuobang, don't you understand what I'm saying? I don't want to live with you anymore. Please leave now." Her voice was trembling and firm, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

Xiao Tuobang was stunned. He didn't understand why Qiu Xue suddenly made such a request. He didn't understand why she was so determined to leave him.

"Qiuxue, every time we quarrel, I always admit my mistakes. This time, I came back late because of a business trip, so why are you still angry with me?" There was a bit of grievance and unwillingness in his voice as he tried to explain his reasons.

But Qiu Xue became even angrier. She stood up, walked to the window, opened the curtains, and a strong and dazzling ray of sunlight shone in.

She turned to face Xiao Tuobang, her eyes filled with disgust and anger.

"You still say you're not wrong? Every time you admit your mistakes, you keep making them again. I've had enough of you. Go away and live with your junior sister."

Qiu Xue's voice was sharp and piercing, and every word was like a sharp knife, piercing Xiao Tuobang's heart.

Xiao Tuobang's face turned pale in an instant, and his heart was filled with pain and despair.

He didn't understand why Qiu Xue was so heartless, he didn't understand why she would give up their marriage so easily.

"Qiuxue, my junior sister and I are innocent. You won't listen to any of my explanations. If that's the case, then there's no need for us to continue living together."

There was a hint of anger and despair in his voice. After he said this, he walked out without looking back.

After Xiao Tuobang left, Qiu Xue slumped weakly on the sofa, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.

She actually didn't want to get divorced, she just hoped that Xiao Tuobang could care about her more.
