Heart Stealer

After lunch, Xiao Tuobang accompanied his father-in-law to a corner of the living room. The two sat opposite each other and began to taste the fragrant tea.

They drank and chatted, their topics ranging from family matters to national affairs, in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. The more they talked, the more they got along.

Mrs. Qiu took the opportunity to call Qiu Xue to the boudoir where she lived before her marriage.

Mrs. Qiu closed the door, held her daughter's hand and sat on the sofa, looking left and right, her eyes full of concern, as if she was afraid that her daughter was missing a piece of flesh.

She frowned and asked worriedly, "Qiuxue, when you brought your daughter back to the Xiao family this time, did Tuobang deliberately make things difficult for you?"

Qiu Xue smiled and shook her head in denial. Her smile was filled with happiness.

"Mom, Tuobang is very good to me and my daughter. I haven't lost any weight in the time since I came back, I've even gained a few pounds. Don't worry."

Mrs. Qiu felt a little relieved when she saw her daughter's happy look.

But she was still worried and continued to ask, "I heard that your mother-in-law came to the city some time ago, and it seemed that you two had a very unhappy argument."

Mrs. Qiu's words made Qiu Xue's smile disappear instantly. She lowered her head, remained silent, and a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Qiu became even more worried. She gently patted her daughter's hand and comforted her, "Qiuxue, if you have any grievances, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart."

Qiu Xue couldn't hold back any longer, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up as she told her mother about her grievances.

"Mom, my mother-in-law still refuses to forgive me. She strongly opposes my reconciliation with Tuobang..."

Mrs. Qiu hugged her daughter in her arms with heartache and gently stroked her hair.

"Qiuxue, don't be sad. Mom knows you've been wronged."

Qiuxue leaned in her mother's arms, crying inconsolably.

Mrs. Qiu felt heartbroken and helpless.

After Qiu Xue calmed down, Mrs. Qiu took her hand and advised her earnestly,

"Tuobang's abilities are obvious to all. Our Qiu Group cannot do without him. No matter what, you cannot divorce him.

Besides, you were indeed at fault first. You shouldn't have left the country without saying goodbye. Find an opportunity to apologize to your mother-in-law and Xiao Tuobang and seek their forgiveness."

After hearing what her mother said, Qiu Xue felt a pang of sadness in her heart and tears burst out like a dam breaking.

She burst into tears, covering her face with her hands, her shoulders shaking.

"But...but..."

At this time, Xiao Tuobang's low voice came from outside the door.

"Qiuxue, it's getting late. We should go home."

When Qiu Xue heard Xiao Tuobang's voice, she immediately stopped crying.

She took a deep breath, quickly wiped the tears from her face with her hands, and tried to look calmer.

"I understand. I'll be right down."

Mrs. Qiu whispered to her daughter again.

"Qiuxue, do you remember what I said?"

Her eyes were full of worry and expectation.

Qiu Xue nodded vigorously.

She stood up and walked slowly towards the door, her steps seeming a little heavy.

After going downstairs, Qiu Xue took her daughter from Xiao Tuobang's arms, and the family of three got into the car.

The car slowly started to move, making a slight roar.

Qiuxue sat quietly in her seat, and through the car window, she waved goodbye to her parents reluctantly.

Qiu Xue's eyes were filled with reluctance and guilt. She felt that she had let her parents down and had not fulfilled her filial duty.

Xiao Tuobang looked at her silently, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and heartache.

Qiu Xue has remembered her mother's words deeply since returning to the Xiao family.

She completely changed her vengeful character and became much more reserved.

She became more hardworking, doing her best in housework and taking care of her husband.

In front of Xiao Tuobang, she was like a docile kitten, always trying her best to meet his requests.

Due to the disagreement with Xiao Tuobang, a rift arose between the two.

During this period of time, Qiu Xue didn't even let Xiao Tuobang touch her.

But tonight, things were different.

Qiuxue undressed early and lay on the bed waiting for her husband to return.

When Xiao Tuobang returned to the bedroom and saw his shy wife lying on the bed.

He was extremely excited, and the fire of desire deep in his heart was instantly ignited.

Xiao Tuobang walked quickly to the bed, his eyes gleaming with desire.

He gently stroked Qiuxue's cheek, feeling her tenderness and shyness.

Qiu Xue trembled slightly, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

She closed her eyes and welcomed her husband's approach.

After several passionate moments, Qiu Xue fell asleep in Xiao Tuobang's arms.

Xiao Tuobang knew that his wife had cried at her parents' home today, and he hugged her tightly in his arms with heartache.

He kissed the tear marks on her face over and over again, hoping to erase the pain in her heart.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the floor.

Qiu Xue slowly opened her eyes and found herself being held tightly in Xiao Tuobang's arms. A shy blush appeared on her face.

She shyly pushed Xiao Tuobang.

"Hubby, it's dawn, time to get up."

When Xiao Tuobang heard Qiu Xue's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at his beautiful wife in front of him, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He gently stroked Qiu Xue's face.

"Stay with me for a while."

Qiu Xue nodded and lay quietly in Xiao Tuobang's arms, feeling his warm breath.

Xiao Tuobang said softly: "Wife, I'm sorry for making you sad yesterday. I won't quarrel with you again in the future. I will love you well."

After saying that, he left a passionate kiss on Qiu Xue's forehead.

Qiu Xue was so moved that her eyes became red, and she hugged Xiao Tuobang tightly.

"Well, I believe you. Let's not quarrel again, okay?"

Xiao Tuobang gently stroked her painful back.

"Okay, I promise you. We will be happy forever."

The two of them just quietly enjoyed this warm moment, as if time had stopped.

After a while, Xiao Tuobang reluctantly let go of Qiu Xue, sat up and began to put on his clothes.

Qiu Xue also sat up and helped Xiao Tuobang tidy up his clothes, her eyes full of love.

Xiao Tuobang walked out of the bedroom. Today, there were many important company matters that required him to go to the study in person to handle, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment.

After Qiu Xue finished washing up, she looked at herself in the mirror, her cheeks slightly red.

Thinking that Xiao Tuobang had to start working early in the morning, Qiu Xue decided to go to the kitchen to prepare a delicious breakfast for her husband.

When Qiu Xue walked lightly into the kitchen, she was slightly startled by the scene before her.

I saw a sumptuous breakfast already laid out on the spacious and bright dining table, including steaming porridge, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, exquisite and small buns... everything you could think of.

It turned out that the attentive Xiao Tuobang had already arranged for the experienced Sister Zhen to prepare all this for them in advance.

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Qiu Xue's heart, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, revealing a sweet smile.

This thoughtful care made her feel extremely happy and satisfied.

However, she did not stop there, but decided to prepare some extra snacks for Xiao Tuobang herself.

She tied an apron, skillfully took out flour, eggs and other ingredients from the cupboard, and then stirred and kneaded them carefully.

In a short while, small snacks with cute shapes and tempting aroma were ready.

Just then, Xiao Tuobang finished his work in the study and returned to the living room.

As soon as he entered the door, he keenly caught the aroma coming from the kitchen.

The familiar and warm smell instantly attracted him, and he walked towards the kitchen involuntarily.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

Xiao Tuobang stood at the kitchen door, gazing at Qiu Xue's busy figure with affectionate eyes.

Qiu Xue was concentrating on fiddling with the pastry mold in her hand. When she heard the sound, she slowly turned around.

That beautiful face was filled with a happy and brilliant smile, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring.

Qiu Xue said coquettishly, "I want to make some special snacks for you!"

After saying that, she bit her lips lightly and looked at Xiao Tuobang with anticipation in her eyes.

Xiao Tuobang approached Qiuxue, gently put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "You have already given me the most special thing."

The two hugged each other, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful moment.
