Heart Stealer

Qiu Xue stood in front of the window, her tears sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold floor.

She watched Xiao Tuobang leave without looking back, and her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

She originally just wanted to test Xiao Tuobang's sincerity and see if he was really willing to give up everything for her.

But she never expected that Xiao Tuobang was actually angry, and so resolute.

Her heart was filled with regret and self-blame. She hated herself for saying such words and for giving up their marriage so easily.

She recalled the sweet times they had spent together, but those heartwarming moments had now become the most painful memories.

Because Qiu Xue was pregnant, she knew that maintaining a good mood was crucial for the development of the fetus.

She tried not to let bad emotions affect herself. She told herself to be strong and to live hard for her baby.

To divert her attention, she rediscovered her old interest in jewelry design.

She began to draw designs every day, and her skills became more and more sophisticated.

Her mood was relieved as a result. Those beautiful design drawings seemed to become the sustenance of her soul, allowing her to temporarily forget the pain.

She would also meet old friends to share their joys and sorrows, making every day full and rich.

Gradually, Qiu Xue seemed to have really forgotten Xiao Tuobang's existence.

She told herself that she could live well even without Xiao Tuobang.

She began planning her future, wanting to create a good life for herself and her baby.

However, Xiao Tuobang's situation was completely different.

Ever since he broke up with Qiu Xue and returned home, his life has been in chaos.

He had just signed a big order, and his father-in-law was so happy that he gave him a few days off to let him have a good rest.

But strangely, his father-in-law and mother-in-law did not persuade Qiu Xue to go home, which made him very dissatisfied.

There was no one at home, and Xiao Tuobang was too lazy to cook.

When it was time for dinner, he would just go out to eat a meal to satisfy his hunger.

Without Qiu Xue, Xiao Tuobang's world seemed to have lost its color, and he felt extremely lonely and lost.

He began to regret the harsh words he had said to Qiu Xue. He realized that he was too impulsive and did not consider Qiu Xue's feelings.

He decided to humble himself and admit his mistakes to Qiu Xue, hoping to save their marriage.

Xiao Tuobang stood up, took his suit jacket and prepared to go out to pick up Qiu Xue and take her home.

At this moment, the phone rang, breaking the silence in the room.

Xiao Tuobang looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his junior sister calling.

He hesitated, but picked up the phone.

"Senior brother, are you back from your business trip?" Zhang Sufang's voice came with a bit of excitement and anticipation.

"Yes, Junior Sister, I came back yesterday." Xiao Tuobang's voice sounded a little tired, but he still tried to remain polite.

"Brother, I'm feeling bored staying in the hotel alone. I want to go to the South Pearl Tower. Can you go with me?" There was a hint of coquettishness and anticipation in Zhang Sufang's voice.

Xiao Tuobang told his junior sister that he would be there soon, then hung up the phone.

He put on his suit jacket and walked to the door, but then stopped.

He didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to do this, and whether it would cause Qiu Xue to misunderstand him even more.

In the end, Xiao Tuobang walked out and went to the Jindu Hotel to pick up his junior sister.

When they arrived at the Nanzhu Pagoda, Xiao Tuobang took his junior sister to visit various attractions.

As night falls, the city lights gradually light up, and the bright lights outline the contours of the city, like a gorgeous painting.

The South Pearl Tower rises high into the clouds, and the lights on the tower flicker like a bright pearl, illuminating the entire city.

Xiao Tuobang and his junior sister came to the revolving buffet restaurant on the rooftop. They ordered a few dishes each and chose a seat by the window.

The lighting in the restaurant is soft and warm, shining on the dining table and creating a romantic atmosphere.

The night view of the city outside the window is intoxicating. The lights of the tall buildings are flashing, the cars are flowing on the streets, and the river in the distance is shimmering like a giant silver dragon.

It was Zhang Sufang's first time to visit such a place, and she was amazed by the panoramic city scenery.

She exclaimed in amazement from time to time and said to Xiao Tuobang, "Brother, look at how beautiful the lights over there are. The whole city is lit up."

Xiao Tuobang looked at his junior sister with a smile. He remembered his past dreams and his struggle and persistence in this city.

He knew that behind every light in this city there was a story and the hard work and dedication of one person.

Xiao Tuobang was no longer interested in the scenery outside the window. He was more concerned about the delicious food in front of him.

Xiao Tuobang asked casually, "Junior sister, has Jing Tianxin contacted you recently?"

When Zhang Sufang heard what Xiao Tuobang said, her expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal.

She smiled and replied, "Brother, why are you asking about him all of a sudden? I've blocked him. Even if he contacts me, I won't know."

Xiao Tuobang thought: Whether it's my junior sister or Qiuxue, women nowadays are more heartless than each other. Xiao Tuobang suddenly felt a little sympathy for Jing Tianxin.

The South Pearl Tower was bustling with activity, with people walking around and laughing.

Xiao Tuobang sat at the dining table and enjoyed the food.

Suddenly, he felt a cold gaze staring at him from the right. He turned around and broke out in a cold sweat.

I saw Qiu Xue and Ye Qingyun standing not far away, Qiu Xue's eyes were as cold as ice.

After she and Xiao Tuobang looked at each other for a few seconds, she lowered her head and chatted and laughed with Ye Qingyun as if nothing had happened.

Sparks were almost spitting out of Xiao Tuobang's eyes. He even forgot to eat and kept staring at Qiu Xue's every move.

Zhang Sufang saw Xiao Tuobang's face suddenly change. She asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Sufang called Xiao Tuobang several times before he came to his senses.

"Oh, I'm fine. Junior sister, this dish is delicious, please eat more."

Xiao Tuobang deliberately put a dish on Zhang Sufang's plate and looked at Qiu Xue again.

Sure enough, Qiu Xue stood up angrily and pulled Ye Qingyun away.

When Xiao Tuobang saw Qiu Xue leaving, he stood up and said, "Junior sister, let's go."

Zhang Sufang asked in confusion, "Brother, where are you going? I just ate a few bites of food, why are you leaving?"

As she walked, she looked back at the food she had barely eaten. It would be a shame to throw away such delicious food...

Xiao Tuobang was in a hurry to catch up with Qiu Xue. He and his junior sister pushed through the crowd, but they were still a step too late. The elevator door closed before they reached it.
