Heart Stealer

In the early morning, sunlight poured into the house through the gaps in the curtains, waking up Xiao Tuobang who was still immersed in his sleep.

He stretched, then quickly got up and began to carefully prepare for today's important itinerary - going to the hotel to hold a contract signing ceremony with the client.

Xiao Tuobang stood in front of the wardrobe, scanning the neatly arranged clothes inside, and finally picked out a well-tailored dark suit and white shirt.

He took out a burgundy tie from the drawer, gently tied it around his neck, and carefully adjusted the position and shape.

Standing in front of the mirror, Xiao Tuobang carefully examined his image from top to bottom and left to right.

He smoothed the wrinkles out of his clothes with his hands and pulled at his collar to make sure it fit snugly and comfortably; then he adjusted his burgundy tie again so that it was perfectly centered and hung straight.

After repeated checks and confirming that everything was flawless, he nodded slightly, indicating that he was satisfied with his outfit.

Xiao Tuobang reached out and pushed open the door, and coincidentally, the door of the opposite room opened at the same time.

Qiuxue walked out as lightly as a dancing butterfly. The two of them looked at each other unexpectedly, both startled by each other's sudden appearance.

Qiu Xue was wearing a sexy black pleated miniskirt, the hem of which swayed with her steps.

Her fair skin looks even more delicate and charming against the black dress.

Her face was delicately made up. Thick eyelashes, bright lipstick and deliberately emphasized blush made her look heavily made up, like a blooming flower, exuding an irresistible charm.

When Qiu Xue saw that it was Xiao Tuobang, a flattering smile immediately blossomed on her face. She quickly stepped forward and asked in a sweet voice, "Hello, Mr. Xiao! Are you leaving?"

Xiao Tuobang glanced at her indifferently without answering, then turned and strode towards the stairs, as if completely ignoring Qiu Xue's existence.

Seeing that Xiao Tuobang ignored her, Qiu Xue intended to tease him.

She followed closely behind him, deliberately showing off her charm in a coquettish voice: "Mr. Xiao, you look so handsome today. This tie suits you perfectly."

As she spoke, she twisted her body, trying to attract Xiao Tuobang's attention.

When Qiu Xue approached Xiao Tuobang, the strong smell of her perfume made Xiao Tuobang feel uncomfortable.

He frowned and couldn't help but yell, "Miss Qiu, please stay away from me! The smell of your cheap perfume is almost killing me."

Qiu Xue said shamelessly: "Ah, Mr. Xiao, I finally managed to grab this newly launched top brand perfume, it's a limited edition.

It's not the low-quality perfume you mentioned. You're just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them!" She looked at Xiao Tuobang provocatively, a smug smile on her face.

Xiao Tuobang frowned and asked, "Miss Qiu, where are you going?"

"Going on a date with my boyfriend!" Qiu Xue deliberately turned around twice in front of Xiao Tuobang and asked mischievously. "How is it? Isn't this dress of mine beautiful?"

Xiao Tuobang sneered, "You're not pretty. If you want to go see your boyfriend, go quickly and don't be an eyesore here." After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked downstairs without looking back.

"Hey, Mr. Xiao, wait for me." Qiu Xue hurriedly chased after him, "Mr. Xiao, don't you really want to see me?" There was a trace of loss and grievance on her face, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Xiao Tuobang stopped, turned around and glared at her.

He sighed inwardly, wondering why Qiu Xue was so difficult to deal with and always pestered him.

He tried to keep his voice calm, "Miss Qiu, please stop pestering me. I have no interest in you at all."

"Really? I think you're jealous."

Qiu Xue's words made Xiao Tuobang feel helpless. He felt that this woman was simply unreasonable.

He shook his head, turned and continued walking towards the garage.

As soon as he opened the car door, Qiu Xue drove over in a brand new royal blue car and stopped in front of Xiao Tuobang.

She deliberately honked the horn a few times, as if to show off her new car to him.

Xiao Tuobang looked at the car and couldn't help feeling bitter.

He knew that his car pales in comparison.

Qiu Xue looked at Xiao Tuobang's expression and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

She thought to herself, this man is really childish and can be easily angered.

She stepped on the accelerator and drove away, leaving Xiao Tuobang and his ordinary car behind.

Xiao Tuobang looked at the car going away and gave a wry smile. He got in the car and slowly started it.

Soon, Xiao Tuobang arrived at the hotel and the client was already waiting there.

As soon as the two sides met, they exchanged brief greetings and then got down to business.

Xiao Tuobang demonstrated his professionalism and business acumen and successfully signed the contract with the client.

After the signing, Xiao Tuobang drove away from the hotel in a happy mood.

At this moment, the ringing of a cell phone interrupted his thoughts and he hurriedly picked up the call.

"Brother Mingzhe, what happened?"

"Tuobang, the young lady is drunk at the snack bar on the second floor of Futing Square, go check it out!"

Xiao Tuobang was shocked and immediately turned the car around and headed towards Futing Square.

Xiao Tuobang parked the car and ran quickly to the second floor of Futing Square. He found the snack bar that Wu Mingzhe mentioned.

Fortunately, Qiu Xue was still there. She was lying on the table drunkenly, mumbling something, and there were several empty wine bottles pushed in front of the table.

When the proprietress saw Xiao Tuobang, she felt like she had seen a savior, and her originally tense face relaxed.

"Hey, sir, you are this lady's boyfriend, right?!"

Xiao Tuobang looked embarrassed and said, "Boss, you misunderstood. I am not her boyfriend." After that, he helped Qiu Xue up, paid the bill, and took her out of the snack bar.

In the car, Qiu Xue leaned quietly on the seat with her eyes closed.

Xiao Tuobang looked at her and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity.

The car slowly drove into the Qiu family villa. Qiu Xue was very drunk, and Xiao Tuobang carefully carried Qiu Xue into the room.

Xiao Tuobang gently placed Qiuxue on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

Just as Xiao Tuobang was about to get up and leave, Qiu Xue suddenly grabbed his hand and cried incoherently, "Ding Pu, why don't you love me..."

Xiao Tuobang was stunned. He looked at Qiu Xue, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

There was surprise, heartache, and even a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.

After a moment, Xiao Tuobang gently broke free from Qiu Xue's hand, walked out of Qiu Xue's room and closed the door.

Xiao Tuobang stood outside the door and let out a long sigh.

Qiu Xue couldn't forget her ex-boyfriend, and a strong sense of jealousy spread in her heart, gradually occupying her entire heart.

Xiao Tuobang returned to his room in a bad mood. He lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Xiao Tuobang thought about Qiu Xue's drunken words and felt very uncomfortable.

Could it be that I am really attracted to Qiu Xue?

No, Xiao Tuobang shook his head, trying hard to get rid of this idea.

He and Qiu Xue are in an employment relationship, and he must never let his feelings affect his work.
