Heart Stealer

After the wedding ceremony, the two newlyweds were filled with happy smiles.

Arm in arm, they began to approach the guests one by one to toast and express their sincere gratitude.

Because Zhang Sufang was pregnant, the family of three left early and went home to rest.

In order to thank Xiao Tuobang for saving their lives that day, Ye Qingtian and Zhong Lihao kept toasting him.

Xiao Tuobang, who was not good at drinking, suddenly had a red face and was drunk.

Although he was drunk and unconscious, Xiao Tuobang was still thinking about his cousin Deng Minghui.

He staggered in front of Ye Qingyun, stretched out a big hand, and patted Ye Qingyun's shoulder heavily.

Xiao Tuobang tried to open his eyes wide, and said with a drunken face: "Qingyun, Deng Minghui is my only cousin. If you dare to bully her, I will never forgive you!"

After saying that, he waved his fist as a warning.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyun nodded repeatedly in agreement.

He repeatedly assured that he would take good care of Deng Minghui wholeheartedly and would never let her suffer any grievances.

After hearing Ye Qingyun's promise, Xiao Tuobang finally felt relieved.

With Qiu Xue's support, Xiao Tuobang walked towards the car with one step deep and one step shallow.

His steps were a little unsteady, but fortunately Qiu Xue was there to take good care of him.

Xiao Tuobang finally managed to get on the bus. He slumped down in the seat and soon fell into a deep sleep.

The driver gently stepped on the accelerator and the car started to move slowly.

As the speed of the car gradually increased, it went farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.

After the wedding, the guests left one after another.

Only the newlyweds Ye Qingyun and Deng Minghui were left, gazing at each other lovingly.

From this moment on, they will join hands to start their sweet new life.

……

On a warm afternoon, Xiao's mother sat on the comfortable sofa, her heart full of longing for her grandchildren.

Thinking back on the past, Xiao's mother's attitude towards her daughter-in-law Qiu Xue was a bit bad, and now she felt very uneasy. She didn't know whether Qiu Xue would agree to let her meet her grandchildren.

Xiao's mother begged her husband to help her call her daughter-in-law. Xiao's father looked at Xiao's mother, shook his head and said,

"Fight it yourself. You have to solve this matter yourself."

Xiao's mother held the phone tightly, her hands trembling slightly.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Xiao's mother plucked up the courage to call her daughter-in-law.

As soon as the call was connected, Qiu Xue's clear and pleasant voice came from the other end: "Hello, Mom, what can I do for you?"

Mother Xiao's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and she said nervously, "Qiuxue, I...I want to talk to my granddaughter and grandson."

Qiu Xue didn't seem to care about her mother-in-law's past unpleasantness. She said cheerfully, "Okay, Mom, wait a moment. I'll give the phone to Yaoyao right away."

Hearing these words, the heavy burden on Xiao's mother's heart finally fell to the ground.

Xiao Muyao picked up the phone and greeted her grandmother in a sweet voice: "Grandma, I miss you so much!"

When Xiao's mother heard her granddaughter's voice, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face, as if all the worries in her heart had disappeared at this moment.

"Yaoyao, grandma misses you too! Grandma wants to tell you that the dog at home has given birth to another litter of puppies. They are so cute!"

Xiao Muyao was so excited that she danced with joy after hearing this, "Really? Grandma, my brother and I really want to go back and take a look!" Her eyes sparkled with anticipation for the paparazzi.

Mother Xiao took the opportunity to smile and said, "Okay, my dear granddaughter. Yaoyao, since you are so anxious to see the puppy, then go and beg your parents to take you home quickly!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Muyao rushed out like an arrow, followed closely by her equally excited brother Xiao Bu.

The two of them ran to their parents who were busy in the living room at lightning speed. Before they could even find their feet, Xiao Muyao had already tightly grasped their parents' hands and started to act like a little kitten.

"Mom and Dad, the dog at Grandpa and Grandma's house has given birth to babies! They must be super cute. Please take us back to see them soon, okay?"

As she spoke, she blinked her big watery eyes, which were full of longing, and she was looking forward to getting a positive answer from her parents.

Seeing his daughter so anxious, Xiao Tuobang couldn't help laughing. He turned around and exchanged a gentle look with his wife Qiu Xue.

Qiu Xue just nodded slightly to show her agreement.

So, Xiao Tuobang waved his hand and readily agreed: "No problem, babies! This weekend, our family of four will go back to Platycodon Town to visit grandpa, grandma, and those adorable puppies!"

Hearing their father's promise, Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu cheered with joy, their little faces flushed red with happiness.

Finally, the weekend arrived. The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. The family happily got into the car and officially started this warm journey home.

Along the way, Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu never stopped talking, their mouths like machine guns, non-stop about what those paparazzi they had yet to meet would look like.

The elder sister said that it might have snow-white fur, as soft as a cat; the younger brother guessed that it might have a pair of big round eyes, which would be very cute.

The brother and sister chatted happily with each other, and bursts of cheerful laughter were heard from the carriage from time to time, making the originally long journey become relaxing and enjoyable.

After arriving in the town, Xiao's father and mother were already standing at the gate waiting for them.

Seeing the car approaching, Xiao's mother's eyes became red and she was very excited.

As soon as Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu got out of the car, they threw themselves into their grandparents' arms.

Walking into the yard, several furry Chinese native dogs were playing.

These little guys are covered with a layer of golden hair that is as dazzling as the sun, and their round bodies make people want to reach out and touch them.

The puppy walks unsteadily, looking very cute.

Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu excitedly surrounded the puppies and teased them happily.

Sometimes they gently stroked the puppies' soft fur, and sometimes they waved small toys in front of the puppies, causing the puppies to bark excitedly.

Xiao Muyao carefully picked up a puppy. The little guy licked her hand, which made her giggle.

Although Xiao Bu was still young, he followed his sister's footsteps closely, with curiosity glittering in his eyes.

The whole family sat together in the yard, enjoying this rare reunion time.

The children's laughter and shouts intertwined together, filling the whole yard with a joyful atmosphere.

Xiao Tuobang sat quietly aside, gazing at the heartwarming scene in front of him with gentle eyes, his heart full of happiness.

He turned to look at his father who was chatting with his mother and asked, "Dad, is the farm busy lately? Do you need me to help you with some work?"

Father Xiao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Haha, son, the farm isn't very busy right now! Just relax and take the kids out to play."

After getting his father's answer, Xiao Tuobang nodded, then stood up, took Qiu Xue's hand, and shouted to the two children,

"Hey babies, let's go to the beach and fly kites together, okay?"

When Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu heard this, they immediately cheered and ran to the beach happily following their parents.

When I arrived at the beach, I saw the sky was as blue as a gem, and white clouds were floating in the air like the sky.

The sea breeze gently blows on people's hair, bringing a hint of coolness.

Xiao Tuobang held the kite high in the air, while Qiuxue ran forward slowly, holding the string. Soon, the kite took off with the wind, flying higher and higher.

Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu tilted their heads back, staring at the colorful kite in the sky without blinking, their faces filled with innocent smiles.

On this vast beach, the family ran and laughed to their heart's content, leaving behind a string of beautiful memories...

After getting tired of playing, Qiu Xue took out a small shovel and gently taught Xiao Muyao and Xiao Bu how to dig sand castles on the beach.

The two siblings of the Xiao family had a lot of fun playing, and their laughter echoed in the air like the most beautiful notes.

Xiao Tuobang sat aside, looking at his wife and children quietly, his eyes full of doting and deep love for his family.

After digging the sand castle, Qiuxue patiently taught the children to dig for seafood on the beach like the beachgoers.

Every time they dug up a piece of seafood, the mother and her two children would cheer excitedly, and their joy infected the entire beach.

Qiu Xue found that her husband was facing the sea alone and seemed lost in thought. She put down the bucket and shovel in her hands and slowly walked to Xiao Tuobang.

Her steps were light, as if she was afraid of disturbing her husband's thoughts.

Qiu Xue gently took Xiao Tuobang's arm and asked softly, "Husband, what are you thinking about?" Her voice was like a spring breeze, with a hint of concern.

Xiao Tuobang exhaled heavily and said slowly, "I'm thinking about my junior brother Wu Xin. I wonder how he is doing now?"

Qiu Xue said indignantly, "He's such a bad guy, he doesn't deserve to be missed."

Xiao Tuobang nodded quickly. He knew what his wife thought of Wu Xin and didn't want to dwell on this topic any further.

He patted Qiuxue's hand gently, trying to comfort her.

They both fell silent. After a while, Qiu Xue lowered her head and said, "Tuo Bang, I have something good to tell you."

Xiao Tuobang really couldn't guess what happy events had happened recently, so he couldn't wait to ask,

"Wife, what's the good news?"

Qiu Xue's face flushed slightly, and she said shyly, "I think I'm pregnant again."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. Xiao Tuobang was very surprised after hearing Qiu Xue's words. He hugged Qiu Xue tightly in his arms.

"Really? Honey, that's great! Our house is even more lively now."

Qiu Xue leaned in Xiao Tuobang's arms, feeling his joy and warmth.

Her heart is also filled with happiness. This upcoming new life will bring more joy and hope to their family.

The two siblings of the Xiao family heard the conversation between their parents and ran over, excitedly surrounding their mother and asking,

"Mom, do we have younger brothers and sisters?"

Qiu Xue looked at the children and said with a smile, "Yes, you are going to be brothers and sisters..."

The elder sister said happily, "I want to teach my younger brothers and sisters how to fly kites!"

Not to be outdone, the younger brother said, "I want to dig sand castles with my brothers and sisters!"

"..."

The family of four is immersed in a happy atmosphere and they are full of expectations for the future.

It was getting late, so Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue hurriedly told the children to pack up their tools and go home.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, reflecting their happy figures.

Hand in hand, filled with happiness and anticipation, they headed home...
