Heart Stealer

The cafe is filled with the rich aroma of coffee, and the lighting is soft and warm, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Ye Qingxin sat by the window, the sunlight shining through the glass onto her, creating a mottled light and shadow.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Tuobang still did not show up.

Ye Qingxin finished the last sip of coffee in the cup and was about to get up and leave when she suddenly saw Xiao's mother slowly walking towards the door of the coffee shop.

Ye Qingxin was a little surprised, but still greeted politely with a smile.

The two sat down again and asked the waiter for two more cups of coffee.

Xiao's mother exchanged a few pleasantries with Ye Qingxin, and then changed the subject: "Qingxin, actually, I asked you out today because I have something to tell you."

Ye Qingxin looked at Xiao's mother nervously.

"Auntie, please tell me."

Mother Xiao coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Qiu Xue has returned home with the child."

Ye Qingxin's face turned pale in an instant. She widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.

"What? Qiu Xue is back?"

Xiao's mother quickly comforted her, "Qingxin, don't worry, Tuobang no longer has any feelings for Qiuxue. He will divorce her soon."

Ye Qingxin's lips trembled slightly, and she spoke with difficulty: "But, Auntie..."

Mother Xiao looked at Ye Qingxin, who was about to cry but had no tears, and patted her chest to assure her: "Qingxin, you and Tuobang have the same emotional experience.

You are both victims of marriage. I also know your feelings for Tuobang, and I hope you can be together. "

Ye Qingxin felt mixed emotions; she hadn't expected things to turn out like this.

A tear flashed in Ye Qingxin's eyes: "Auntie, I..."

Mother Xiao held Ye Qingxin's slightly cold little hand tightly, and said softly but firmly,

"Qingxin, just put your mind at ease! Tuobang has always been sensible. He will definitely handle the situation between him and Qiuxue properly."

After hearing what Xiao's mother said, Ye Qingxin nodded silently and responded softly,

"Well, Auntie, I have always believed in Tuobang's ability."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh softly, and a barely perceptible look of helplessness and confusion flashed across her beautiful eyes.

In fact, before this, Ye Qingxin always believed that she would eventually be able to walk into the marriage hall with Xiao Tuobang and start a new chapter of happy life together.

But who could have expected that at this critical moment, Qiu Xue would reappear in their lives like a ghost.

Ye Qingxin suppressed the chaotic emotions in her heart, used all her strength to force out a bitter smile, and slowly said to Xiao's mother,

"Auntie, thank you so much for your support and encouragement.

But... at this moment, my emotions are so complicated that I'm afraid it will take some time to adjust."

Mother Xiao looked at the adorable girl in front of her, her heart filled with pity.

She reached out her hand, gently patted the back of Ye Qingxin's hand, and comforted her with understanding,

"It's okay, Qingxin, don't worry. No matter what, auntie will always be on your side."

Ye Qingxin looked at Xiao's mother with gratitude, then stood up and said goodbye to her.

When she dragged her heavy feet back home, she seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed on the sofa in the living room in extreme exhaustion.

Although Xiao's mother's words just now gave her some confidence, Ye Qingxin still couldn't let go of her worries when she thought of the unforgettable past between Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue.

She couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts, worrying whether Xiao Tuobang would waver in his original intention because of Qiuxue's return, or even rekindle his old feelings with Qiuxue...

At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Xiao Tuobang calling.

Ye Qingxin's heartbeat instantly accelerated. She took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

Xiao Tuobang's deep voice came: "Qingxin, I'm sorry for making you wait so long today."

This was the first time Xiao Tuobang took the initiative to call Ye Qingxin, and she was happier than if she had won the lottery.

Ye Qingxin smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm glad you took the initiative to tell me."

Xiao Tuobang was silent for a moment, then said, "Qiu Xue is back. I need time to deal with things with her, so I may not be able to meet you in the near future."

Ye Qingxin's mood suddenly plummeted, but she still tried to remain calm.

"It's okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingxin couldn't control her tears anymore and flowed down.

……

Sister Zhen finally came back from vacation, which made Qiu Xue's burden much lighter.

Xiao's mother has been living in the city for a full half month.

Although the city is prosperous and life is convenient, her heart is always concerned with the vast land in the countryside and the unfinished farm work.

Early in the morning of this day, the sky had just dawned and the sunlight shone through the thin clouds, falling on the earth.

Xiao's mother got up early, packed her luggage neatly, and walked out of the house carrying it in her hands and on her shoulders.

Father Xiao is reluctantly saying goodbye to his lovely granddaughter!

He gently stroked his granddaughter's soft hair and said in a loving voice,

"Yaoyao, when grandpa is not at home, you must listen to your parents and be a good, sensible and obedient child."

After hearing her grandfather's instructions, the granddaughter blinked her big watery eyes and nodded obediently, indicating that she would definitely do it.

Seeing Xiao's father dilly-dallying, Xiao's mother, who was standing by, became increasingly anxious. She frowned and urged him loudly with an impatient look on her face.

"Hey, old man, can you please hurry up? If you keep dragging your feet, you'll miss the early bus!"

After being urged by Xiao's mother, Xiao's father could only sigh helplessly and reluctantly turned his eyes away from his granddaughter.

He took a deep look at this warm little home before making up his mind to leave.

Father Xiao walked to the door and suddenly stopped. He seemed to have remembered something important, turned around abruptly, and whispered to his daughter-in-law,

"Qiuxue, when you and Tuobang are free one day, you must bring the children back to the countryside to visit us old couple."

After saying this, Xiao's father resolutely walked out of the house and embarked on the journey home.

A tear flashed in Qiu Xue's eyes. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dad. We'll go back to see you when we have time."

Xiao Tuobang slowly started the car and steadily took his parents to the bustling long-distance bus station.

After parking the car, he quickly got out and walked to his parents, his eyes full of concern and reluctance.

"Dad, Mom, be careful on the road! Remember to call and let us know you're safe when you get home." Xiao Tuobang warned earnestly.

His mother nodded slightly, and his father patted his shoulder to show that he was relieved.

Watching his parents carrying their luggage and getting on the bus, Xiao Tuobang stood there, following their figures with his eyes until the bus disappeared from his sight.

Afterwards, Xiao Tuobang turned around, got into the car, and drove back home.

Along the way, he felt extremely heavy, as if he was burdened by a heavy burden and could hardly breathe.

His mother firmly opposed his reconciliation with Qiu Xue, which put Xiao Tuobang in a dilemma.

On one side is the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, and on the other side is his beloved wife and lovely daughter. He really can't decide what to do next.

When Xiao Tuobang dragged his tired body back home, the sensitive Qiu Xue could tell at a glance that he was worried.

She walked gently to her husband, gently stretched out her arms to embrace him, and whispered softly,

"Hubby, I know it's hard for you to make a decision, and I don't want to embarrass you. How about I take Yaoyao and move out? This way I can avoid conflicts with Mom."

When Xiao Tuobang heard that Qiuxue was going to move out with her children, he frowned, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily,

"You and the child just came back, why do you want to move out again? Don't you want to give your child a complete home?"

Facing her husband's questioning, Qiu Xue couldn't help but burst into tears. She choked and replied,

"Of course I want to give my child a complete family, but in this situation, I really don't know what to do."

Xiao Tuobang was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Wife, don't worry, I won't let you and the child suffer any injustice. I will find a way to resolve this matter."
