Heart Stealer

Xiao Tuobang sat alone in the study, the light shining softly on him, making him look a little lonely.

He was concentrating on his work, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he had encountered some difficult problems.

Qiu Xue gently pushed open the door, holding a cup of steaming hot tea in her hand, and walked carefully to Xiao Tuobang and placed the cup on the table.

She stood quietly aside, her eyes fixed on Xiao Tuobang.

Qiu Xue asked softly,

"Hubby, can we talk?"

Xiao Tuobang slowly raised his head and looked at Qiu Xue, his eyes still holding a hint of indifference and alienation.

"What else do we have to talk about?" His voice was cold, as if without any emotion.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and rational.

She knew that Xiao Tuobang was still angry, but she hoped that they could resolve the conflict through communication. Qiu Xue said sincerely,

"Tuobang, I know you're still angry, but please listen to my explanation. What happened today was really a misunderstanding."

Xiao Tuobang frowned and retorted unhappily: "Misunderstanding? Then why did you go to see him without telling me?"

"What else do we have to talk about?" His voice was cold, as if without any emotion.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm and rational.

She understood that Xiao Tuobang was still angry, but she hoped that they could resolve the conflict through communication.

"Tuobang, I know you are still angry, but please listen to my explanation. What happened today was really a misunderstanding." Qiuxue said sincerely, with a sincere light flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Tuobang was silent for a moment, then replied calmly: "Misunderstanding? Then why did you hide it from me and go to see him?"

Qiu Xue bit her lip and said softly, "Tuobang, I promise you, I met with Ye Qingyun today, and we only talked about work."

Xiao Tuobang sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "Do you think I don't know the relationship between you two?"

Qiu Xue's face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Tuobang, I really didn't betray you. I love you, always have."

Qiu Xue's voice trembled slightly. She licked her dry lips and continued,

"Qingyun heard that my newly opened second jewelry store encountered some financial difficulties. He offered to lend me money first to solve the urgent problem, but I refused to accept.

He then applied to join my company as a partner, and I agreed to his request. Tuobang, you have to believe me, Ye Qingyun and I are really just ordinary friends."

Xiao Tuobang couldn't understand why Qiuxue didn't turn to him for help when she encountered difficulties. He was Qiuxue's husband, but she would rather seek help from someone far away.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tuobang became jealous. He looked at Qiu Xue hatefully, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference.

"Qiuxue, I'm tired today. Let's talk about it another day." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the study.

Qiu Xue stared blankly at Xiao Tuobang's departing back, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

She felt helpless and disappointed and didn't know how to save the marriage.

Back in the bedroom, Qiu Xue lay on the bed, her mind full of thoughts.

She recalled every detail of her acquaintance and love with Xiao Tuobang, and her heart was filled with pain and helplessness.

After a while, Xiao Tuobang also returned to the bedroom. He got on the bed without saying a word, with his back to Qiuxue.

Qiu Xue looked at him silently, her heart full of grievance and loss.

Qiu Xue plucked up her courage, reached out and gently stroked Xiao Tuobang's back, trying to break the cold atmosphere, but Xiao Tuobang didn't react at all, not even moving.

Qiu Xue's heart tightened. She felt as if her hand had touched a piece of ice, and it was freezing cold.

She couldn't help but tremble, and her fingers retracted slightly.

Qiu Xue's heart sank to the bottom. She realized that Xiao Tuobang no longer trusted her or loved her.

She felt extremely lonely and desperate, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

She didn't know what to do to win back Xiao Tuobang's heart, so she could only sit silently by the bed, staring at Xiao Tuobang's back in a daze.

The next morning, the morning light gently penetrated the window and shot into the room like a golden arrow.

The warm and soft light is like a mother's hand gently caressing everything in the house.

Qiu Xue slowly woke up and opened her eyes slightly, but found that Xiao Tuobang was no longer beside her.

An indescribable feeling of emptiness surged into my heart like a tide, followed by a deep sense of loss.

This feeling was like a huge rock pressing on her chest, making her feel so heavy that she could hardly breathe.

Qiuxue lay quietly on the bed, her thoughts in a mess.

After some inner struggle, she finally made up her mind to go to the company to find Xiao Tuobang.

Have a good talk with him and try to untie the knot between the two of you that is getting tighter and tighter.

Qiu Xue slowly stood up and walked towards the wardrobe. She carefully selected clothes and finally chose a beautiful light blue dress.

The dress is well-cut, soft and smooth, and embellished with delicate lace.

Qiu Xue put it on gently, as if she was wearing a layer of dreamy gauze.

Qiu Xue sat in front of the dressing table and carefully put on light makeup.

She meticulously applied eyeliner, a light swipe of blush, and finally a touch of light lipstick.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Qiu Xue nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, she looked beautiful, charming, fresh and refined.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath, smiled at herself in the mirror, and secretly encouraged herself: "I must be strong and not let the tears flow easily again!" Then, she straightened her back, took firm steps and walked out of the house.

When Qiu Xue stepped into the company lobby with light steps, the attention of Xiaoying, the secretary who was busy at work, was instantly attracted.

Xiaoying opened her eyes wide, her face full of surprise, her mouth slightly open, obviously she had not expected that the president's wife, who had not been seen for a long time, would suddenly appear at this time.

Qiu Xue took a deep breath, tried to keep her voice calm, and then asked Xiao Ying where Xiao Tuobang had gone.

Xiaoying hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether to tell the truth.

Finally, she said softly, "Ms. Ye Qingxin from the Ye Group came to see the president. They just went out together."

Qiu Xue nodded slightly, her facial expression didn't change much, but her heart was already in turmoil.

Before the marriage, Ye Qingxin had been obsessed with Xiao Tuobang. When Qiu Xue heard that they were going out together, her mood became even heavier.

Qiu Xue slowly walked into Xiao Tuobang's new office.

The rooms are spacious and bright, luxuriously decorated and have a more reasonable layout.

She casually flipped through a few reports on her desk, but felt bored.

It is said that Ye Qingxin and her husband are having a disagreement and are currently in the process of getting a divorce and are living separately.

Ye Qingxin's marriage had problems, so she came to Xiao Tuobang again, which made Qiu Xue's heart full of worries and doubts.
