Heart Stealer

Xiao Tuobang's mood was as gloomy and complicated as the unpredictable weather at the seaside.

When he learned from Jing Tianxin that Ye Qingyun had also followed Qiu Xue abroad, his already heavy mood became even heavier.

Although the scenery at the seaside was pleasant, his mood was like the sky covered by dark clouds, and he was unable to appreciate the beautiful scenery before him.

He walked slowly towards home, his steps seeming a little heavy.

The Xiao family's living room is spacious and bright, with soft lights shining down, illuminating every corner.

The furniture is arranged neatly and orderly, giving people a feeling of comfort and harmony.

The paintings hanging on the wall add a touch of artistic atmosphere, making people feel the owner's pursuit of quality of life.

At this time, Xiao's mother was sitting on the sofa, sipping tea leisurely, her face filled with a smile of happiness and satisfaction.

When Xiao Tuobang opened the door and walked in, his mother immediately came forward and said with joy on her face,

"Tuobang, you're finally back! Your master just came over and wanted us to help prepare for Sufang's wedding."

Xiao Tuobang, with a hint of fatigue, forced a smile.

"Mom, I know. I met Sufang and Tianxin at the beach, and they told me." After Xiao Tuobang finished speaking, he walked straight upstairs.

Walking to the door, he gently raised his hand and slowly pushed open the slightly heavy door.

With a slight "creak" sound, he walked into his bedroom with heavy steps.

Xiao Tuobang walked to the dressing table and picked up the wedding photo on the dressing table to look at it carefully.

The woman in the photo is smiling like a flower and is beautiful, while the man standing next to her is hugging her with a happy look on his face.

The more Xiao Tuobang thought about Qiu Xue leaving without saying goodbye, the angrier he became.

He held the photo frame tightly in his hand, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his chest kept heaving.

Suddenly, he raised the photo frame and pretended to drop it on the floor.

When his hand was raised in the air, he hesitated for a moment. Although Xiao Tuobang was very angry, reason eventually overcame impulse.

After a few seconds, he slowly lowered his hand and placed the photo frame back on the dressing table.

Xiao Tuobang sighed, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

He staggered to the bed and sat down heavily.

He raised his right hand and rubbed his temple, trying to calm himself down.

After a short rest, Xiao Tuobang stood up and walked to the desk and sat down.

The words Jing Tianxin had said to him kept echoing in his mind...

He closed his eyes, carefully recalled every detail, and sorted them out one by one in chronological order.

He discovered that the time interval between Ye Qingyun and Qiu Xue's departure from the country was less than two weeks.

And their destination is the same country and the same continent!

Is this really just a coincidence? Or was all this carefully planned in advance?

When he thought of this, Xiao Tuobang was filled with an uncontrollable flame of anger.

He turned on his phone, lit up the screen, quickly found Ye Qingyun's phone number, and pressed the call button.

The phone rang several times before Ye Qingyun's tired and hoarse voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hey, Tuobang, why are you looking for me so late? Did something happen?"

Xiao Tuobang frowned slightly, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and asked doubtfully,

"Qingyun, it's bright and sunny outside now, how can it be the middle of the night? Could it be that you've already gone abroad?"

Ye Qingyun quickly replied, "I just went abroad not long ago. I came here to take over my brother's job. I have been busy until now and I just want to go to bed and rest."

As he spoke, he yawned loudly and stretched his neck, which was a little stiff from working for a long time.

Ye Qingyun had indeed gone abroad as Jing Tianxin said.

Xiao Tuobang's face turned pale. He held the phone tightly, his fingers trembling slightly.

He asked cautiously, "Qingyun, when will you return home?"

Ye Qingyun was silent for a long time, then he sighed deeply and complained, "Tuobang, don't mention returning to China. I was sent by the headquarters to stay in the overseas branch.

It’s hard to say exactly when I’ll be able to return. If everything goes well, it’ll probably be about a year at the earliest; if things don’t go well, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait two or three years before I can go back!

After hearing this, Xiao Tuobang couldn't help but reveal a look of regret and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. That's such a pity.

I was thinking of asking you out to play ball tonight, but since that's the case, forget it. Go get some rest and I won't bother you anymore."

Xiao Tuobang hung up the phone, but the turmoil in his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Even though Ye Qingyun's words were flawless and watertight, Xiao Tuobang was still worried.

Qiu Xue avoided him.

However, the information about Ye Qingyun's overseas company was open and transparent, so Xiao Tuobang decided to find a breakthrough from Ye Qingyun.

He sent people to secretly investigate whether Ye Qingyun had any secret dealings with Qiu Xue.

A few days later, Xiao Tuobang received a mysterious document that recorded Ye Qingyun's itinerary abroad.

Judging from the information, there are indeed a large number of women who have had dealings with Ye Qingyun.

But what is strange is that no evidence was found to show that he and Qiu Xue had any intersection or communication at all.

Xiao Tuobang looked at the information in his hand, but his doubts were not eliminated.

He always felt that things were not that simple.

Perhaps there are other clues hidden.

Xiao Tuobang really wanted to go abroad in person to confront Ye Qingyun face to face.

But he changed his mind and thought that if Ye Qingyun and Qiu Xue were really together, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to him.

He didn't know if he could bear such pain and loss.

More importantly, if Qiu Xue no longer has a place for him in her heart.

If he forcibly brought Qiu Xue back, it would only bring greater pain and conflict to both of them.

Xiao Tuobang decided to bury this relationship deep in his heart, let go of the past and start his life anew.
