Heart Stealer

Qiu Xue understood that she could not force the other party to give up work and go home to accompany the children.

Looking at her daughter who was crying incessantly with tears on her face, her beautiful eyes quietly revealed a deep helplessness and endless heartache.

She let go of her reserve and mustered up the courage to speak in an almost pleading tone.

"Tuobang, my daughter really misses you. No matter how much you coax her, she won't fall asleep. Could you... say a few kind words to her over the phone, comfort her, and let her sleep peacefully?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tuobang couldn't help but frowned slightly.

He struggled a little bit in his heart, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and responded, "Okay, I understand."

Although Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue have now parted ways, he still has an indescribable love for this lovely little angel in his heart.

He deeply understood that even if he could not always be by his child's side to take care of him personally, he should never shirk his responsibilities as a father.

Even if it is just through this phone call, he must give the child full love and warmth.

Soon, the daughter's tender and sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

She asked expectantly, "Dad, when can you come home to see me?"

The daughter's clear, sweet and innocent voice was like the most touching piece of music in the world, which instantly penetrated Xiao Tuobang's heart.

His heart was filled with waves of tenderness and a warm current surged in his chest.

A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Tuobang's face. He tried his best to coax his daughter to sleep with the most affectionate and warmest tone.

He coaxed softly, "Baby, Daddy is still working hard so that he can buy you more toys and delicious food. Daddy knows that you are the best child and will definitely go to bed well, right?"

Xiao Muyao blinked her big eyes and looked at her mother. Her chubby little hands tightly grasped the corner of her mother's clothes and said in a baby voice, "Dad, I will wait for you to come home."

Xiao Tuobang smiled and nodded, saying with relief: "Dad will be back soon. You have to be good, listen to Mom, and sleep well. When Dad comes back, he will bring you a big surprise."

My daughter was very happy to hear this. She closed her eyes obediently and fell into a sweet dream soon.

Qiu Xue looked at her daughter's peaceful sleeping face, and the worries in her heart finally dissipated.

Qiu Xue was very grateful for Xiao Tuobang's help. Although they had separated, at this moment, their hearts were closely connected because of their child.

After Xiao Tuobang hung up the phone, he felt heavy-hearted.

It is late at night.

Xiao Tuobang sat at his desk in the company. The light was dim and the computer screen emitted a faint glow.

The office was unusually quiet, with only the occasional sound of keyboard tapping.

Outside the window, the city lights were brilliant, and cars were constantly shuttling back and forth on the busy streets, but all this prosperity had nothing to do with him.

He realized that no matter what happened between him and his wife, his daughter was innocent and she needed the love of both her parents.

Xiao Tuobang thought to himself, "Let's talk about the divorce after my daughter recovers from her illness..." He didn't want his daughter to be hurt at this time.

Xiao Tuobang decided to wait until his daughter recovered before having a good talk with Qiu Xue.

On an autumn afternoon, sunlight streams into the house through the window.

Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu were sitting in the living room, leisurely savoring the fragrant tea.

The air is filled with a faint scent of tea, making people feel extremely comfortable.

However, the tranquility was broken by a rapid ringing of the phone.

Mrs. Qiu answered the phone, and her face turned pale instantly after hearing the news from the other end.

It turned out that their lovely granddaughter was ill! This sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting the two elderly people hard.

When Qiu Rongyao heard this, the teacup in his hand almost slipped. He widened his eyes, his face full of anxiety and worry.

The couple looked at each other, put down the cups in their hands without hesitation, and began to pack up in a hurry.

After a while, the old couple rushed out of the house carrying large and small bags and got into the car that had been waiting outside.

After the car started, it sped away.

In the car, Qiu Rongyao held his wife's hand tightly. Both of them were in an extremely heavy mood, their hearts full of concern and worry about their granddaughter's illness.

"Uncle Ming, please drive faster!" Qiu Rongyao couldn't help but lean forward and shouted at the driver.

"Yes, Uncle Ming, please try to be quick! We are really worried about the child." Mrs. Qiu also echoed.

The driver, Uncle Ming, understood their anxious mood and kept stepping on the accelerator, and the vehicle was speeding on the road.

Finally, after a long and agonizing drive, the car arrived at Qiuxue's apartment building.

Without even taking a breath, the old couple rushed up the stairs in two steps and headed straight for Qiu Xue's door.

As soon as they entered the door, they rushed straight to the bedroom without even saying hello to their daughter.

I saw the little baby lying quietly on the bed, her little face looked a little pale because of illness, but fortunately, her fever had subsided.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Mrs. Qiu walked gently to the bedside, bent down, and gently stroked her granddaughter's forehead, her eyes full of love and pity.

Qiu Rongyao looked at his daughter and granddaughter with a distressed look on his face and said softly,

"Qiuxue, the child's illness must have exhausted you. How about you take some time to bring the child back home so Mom and Dad can take care of you two. It would be much more convenient that way."

Qiu Xue was very moved when she heard that her father finally forgave her.

She looked at her elderly parents with gratitude and nodded heavily.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad. I've been really busy lately. Once I'm done with this, I'll definitely make time to move back as soon as possible."

After hearing what his daughter said, Qiu Rongyao felt a little more at ease.

He reached out and gently touched Qiu Xue's hair, his eyes full of love.

"Silly child, why are you being so polite to us? How can we be at ease when you are raising a child by yourself and have to work and take care of the family?

Come back soon, the family can take care of each other, and we can also help you share some of the housework and childcare burdens."

Mrs. Qiu beside her also hurried forward and echoed with a smile on her face,

"That's right, Qiuxue, if you move back home with your kids, it would be so nice for our whole family to get together and have a lively and happy time every day!

Plus, the house is spacious, so the children have more space to play.”

As she spoke, Mrs. Qiu gently held Qiu Xue's hand. The warm touch was like a warm current, conveying endless care and support.

Qiu Xue smiled and nodded gently, saying, "Okay, I understand, Mom and Dad."

Qiu Rongyao turned her gaze to her precious daughter, her eyes full of concern and love.

He asked softly, "By the way, Qiuxue, how is the renovation of your jewelry store going?"

When Qiu Xue heard her father mention his jewelry store, her beautiful eyes sparkled instantly.

Like the bright stars in the night sky, they reveal an expectation that is hard to conceal.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she answered with a hint of pride and confidence.

"Dad, the decoration of the store is basically completed. It only needs some finishing touches, and then we can prepare to open it!"

Mrs. Qiu, who was standing by, quickly asked, "Has the specific opening date been set?"

Qiu Xue smiled and responded cheerfully, "Mom, it's confirmed. It'll be at the end of this month!"

Her voice was full of joy and excitement, as if she had already seen her jewelry store bustling with customers and doing booming business.

After hearing this, Qiu Rongyao immediately smiled with great pride.

He is proud to have such an outstanding daughter and is full of confidence in her future.

He patted Qiuxue's shoulder and encouraged her, "That's great! Qiuxue, go for it without worry. Dad will always support you!"

Qiu Xue couldn't help but smile shyly when her parents praised her like this. It was as if a warm current was flowing slowly through her heart, making her feel warm and at ease.

No matter what difficulties and obstacles she encounters, her family will always stand behind her, give her the most firm and powerful support, and be her strongest and most reliable backing.
