Heart Stealer

A few days later, a wonderful weekend arrived.

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. Xiao Tuobang decided to take Qiuxue and Yaoyao to a park in the suburbs to spend a good time together.

This park is located on the edge of the city, surrounded by green mountains and clear waters, and the air is fresh and pleasant.

The three of them walked and played in the park, enjoying their rare leisure time.

Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang held hands and strolled in the park, feeling the beauty of nature.

Yaoyao ran ahead excitedly, curiously exploring everything around her, occasionally stopping to pick wild flowers by the roadside and then running back to give them to her parents.

Qiuxue took the flowers handed to her by her daughter, her heart filled with warmth and emotion.

Xiao Tuobang followed the mother and daughter silently, his eyes always fixed on Qiu Xue, full of love.

During this period of time, my wife has endured a lot of grievances and has also contributed a lot to the family.

He was very grateful and determined to make the family happier and more complete.

In the evening, the sun gradually sets and a gorgeous sunset glow appears on the horizon.

Xiao Tuobang and his family came to a wide lawn, sat down quietly and admired the beautiful sunset.

At this moment, the sky is dyed orange-red, like a dreamlike painting.

"Wife, thank you for your support and understanding."

Xiao Tuobang gently held Qiuxue's hand and said affectionately, "I will continue to work hard to make our family happier and more complete."

Qiu Xue smiled slightly, nodded, and leaned gently on her husband's shoulder.

The two sat quietly on the grass, enjoying the peaceful beauty of the moment.

Yaoyao was playing happily on the grass nearby. Her laughter was as clear and sweet as a silver bell, echoing throughout the park.

As night falls, stars twinkle in the night sky.

Xiao Tuobang and his family got up and left the park, leaving behind a trail of happy footprints.

When they returned home, it was already late at night. After Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue coaxed their daughter to sleep, Xiao Tuobang looked at his daughter who had fallen asleep and gently turned off the light.

He turned to Qiu Xue and whispered, "Wife, I want to talk to you about something."

Qiu Xue nodded, and she followed Xiao Tuobang out of her daughter's room quietly.

Qiu Xue gently closed her daughter's door, turned around, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes,

"Husband, what do you want from me?"

Xiao Tuobang smiled slightly, walked to Qiuxue, and gently placed his hands on her slender waist.

He leaned over and gently kissed Qiuxue's pink lips.

Qiu Xue suddenly felt a current running through her body.

She couldn't help but tremble all over and stood on tiptoe involuntarily, responding to Xiao Tuobang's passionate kiss.

Xiao Tuobang hugged Qiuxue tightly, feeling her soft body. He gently picked up Qiuxue and walked into their bedroom.

Moonlight shines through the curtains onto the bed, illuminating the figures of the two...

The two embraced each other passionately and kissed each other, seeming to forget everything around them. It was as if time had stopped.

After a long time, Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue lovingly, his eyes full of love and tenderness.

He said softly, "Wife, let's give Yaoyao a brother or sister. This way our home will be more lively."

Qiu Xue's body stiffened slightly, and her mind instantly flashed with what her mother-in-law had said before.

She became flustered and pushed Xiao Tuobang away involuntarily.

"No, husband." Qiu Xue's eyes revealed a trace of worry and uneasiness, and her voice trembled slightly, "Mom..."

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiuxue's worried face, and felt pity in his heart. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her delicate cheek, saying softly,

"Don't worry, wife. We are the masters of our own lives. As long as we truly love each other, nothing else matters."

Qiu Xue bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, and her eyes still showed a hint of hesitation.

"But what if Mom objects again?"

Xiao Tuobang stared at Qiu Xue with a resolute gaze and responded decisively,

"Don't worry, my dear! No matter what happens, I will protect you and the child and will never allow anyone to cause you any harm. Please believe my promise, okay?"

Qiu Xue silently gazed into the affectionate and determined eyes of the man in front of her. Her eyes gradually became moist, with tears welling up in them, as if they would burst out at any time.

She could clearly feel Xiao Tuobang's sincere affection and unwavering determination.

But whenever she thought of her mother-in-law's resentful eyes, Qiu Xue couldn't convince herself to step into the Xiao family's door again.

She bit her lips tightly, and her originally pink lips turned slightly white, as if blood would seep out if she applied a little more force.

Her eyes were closed tightly, as if she was trying desperately to suppress the surging waves of emotions in her heart.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the slightly heavy breathing of the two people could be heard.

Finally, after a long wait, Qiu Xue slowly opened her eyes, and her eyes, as clear as autumn water, were now filled with sadness and determination.

She took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice,

"Tuobang, I'm really...really sorry. In fact, from the moment I stepped out of the Xiao family's gate, I made up my mind that I would never return to that place in this lifetime."

Hearing these words, Xiao Tuobang was like being struck by lightning, and his whole body froze in place instantly.

He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring straight at the familiar yet unfamiliar woman in front of him.

He opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by a ball of cotton and he couldn't make a sound.

After a long while, Xiao Tuobang finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream, and stammered, "What's the sixth anniversary?"

"Why...why? Wife, are you...still mad at Mom?"

As he spoke, his face was full of anxiety, and even a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qiu Xue shook her head gently, and a crystal tear rolled down her fair cheek.

She tried hard to hold back her tears, but the tears in her eyes were like a flood that broke through the dam and could not be stopped.

"It's not because of Mom, but...it's because I really can't get over the hurdle in my heart.

In the Xiao family, I always felt like an outsider who didn't fit in. No matter how hard I tried to please them and give, I could never gain their true recognition and acceptance.

I don't want to see our daughter Yaoyao endure the pain and grievances I've experienced, so... so I can only choose to leave."

By the end of her speech, Qiu Xue was sobbing and her whole body was shaking with sobs.

Xiao Tuobang hugged Qiu Xue distressedly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my wife, I've wronged you."

Qiu Xue gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"Tuobang, you are a filial son and the best man in the world. I don't want to see you forced to make a difficult choice between me and Mom."

Xiao Tuobang's brows were slightly furrowed, as if two deep grooves were across his broad forehead.

His deep eyes now revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt that was difficult to conceal.

He stared intently at Qiu Xue in front of him, his eyes like two extremely sharp swords, piercing straight at her.

He pressed his lips into a line and asked in an extremely serious tone,

Facing Xiao Tuobang's questioning, Qiu Xue slowly lowered her head, like a delicate flower hit by frost, no longer having the beauty and confidence of the past.

She didn't dare to raise her head at all and looked directly into Xiao Tuobang's eyes which were as sharp as a knife.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath and tried to keep her heart as calm as possible. She whispered,

"Tuobang, I hope you can help my daughter get her household registration and return my company shares to me. Let's part ways amicably!"

Before Qiu Xue could finish her words, Xiao Tuobang suddenly stretched out a hand and pushed her away with force.

With this push, Qiu Xue staggered and almost fell under the bed.

At this moment, Xiao Tuobang's eyes were filled with burning anger.

The angry expression made his entire face seem distorted, making him look particularly hideous and terrifying.

He opened his mouth and roared at Qiu Xue in anger.

"Qiuxue, you are just like what my mother said, you have never thought about living a good life with me.

You quarreled with my mother, but you put all the blame on her in an attempt to win my sympathy. Don't dream, I won't let your wishful thinking succeed!"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tuobang quickly put on his clothes, then hurried downstairs without looking back, full of anger.

His footsteps were heavy and quick, as if every step was stepping on Qiu Xue's heart.

Qiu Xue stared blankly at Xiao Tuobang's departing back, her heart filled with despair and sadness.

Her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.

Tears streamed down her cheeks like a flood, but she was completely unaware.

She silently picked up the clothes scattered on the ground.

Suddenly, a crisp ringtone came from the cell phone. Qiu Xue saw that it was Lawyer Ma calling.

Lawyer Ma told her that Xiao Tuobang had taken legal action to try to fight for custody of the child.

Qiu Xue felt dizzy. She didn't expect Xiao Tuobang to be so ruthless.

Her hands were shaking so much that she could barely hold the phone.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said to the phone, "Lawyer Ma, I will not give up on my daughter. I will fight to the end no matter what."

After hanging up the phone, she wiped away her tears, and an unprecedented sense of determination surged in her heart.
