Heart Stealer

At the VIP exit of the busy Yingnan International Airport.

Ye Qingyun appeared in a low-key manner wearing a simple white T-shirt and dark blue jeans, and he exuded an unruly and free aura.

Uncle Fu followed closely behind, pushing four heavy suitcases and looking quite struggling.

When Ye Qingyun returned to China this time, he had no intention of staying long.

He simply packed a few sets of clothes, just like he would for any other trip.

Uncle Fu had a feeling that Ye Qingyun might stay in China for a long time this time.

He took the initiative and moved back almost all of his valuable belongings.

The Ye family's housekeeper, Zhao Bo, had already been waiting outside the airport. When he saw Uncle Fu's luggage full of luggage, he immediately stepped forward to lend a hand.

The three of them walked towards the limousine parked nearby.

Uncle Zhao skillfully placed the suitcases into the trunk one by one. Ye Qingyun stood quietly by, looking at this land that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

On the way back to the city, Ye Qingyun witnessed the tremendous changes in the city.

The place where the foundation was laid just two years ago is already home to densely packed high-rise buildings.

The green belts on both sides of the road have also been completely renewed, with a variety of plants planted, including the mango trees and palm trees he is familiar with, as well as the small-leaved fig tree that looks like a Podocarpus from a distance.

There are also new and strange varieties that he cannot name, interspersed with colorful flowers, like a vivid plant kingdom, so beautiful that it is dazzling.

Ye Qingyun sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

He recalled his childhood memories, and the laughter and joy of his childhood seemed to still echo in his ears. At that time, Yingnan City was not so prosperous, and he and his friends often played carefree on the streets.

The car slowly drove into the city, and Ye Qingyun saw familiar streets and buildings.

As for the Ye family, there are too many painful memories there, and he doesn't want to go back and face them for the time being.

"Uncle Zhao," Ye Qingyun withdrew his gaze from the bustling street scene outside the car window, turned to Uncle Zhao in the front driver's seat, and asked softly: "Have you arranged the hotel I asked you to help book before?" There was a hint of expectation in his tone. After all, after a long flight, a comfortable resting environment was what he needed most at the moment.

Uncle Zhao glanced at Ye Qingyun in the rearview mirror and replied with a smile, "Second Young Master, don't worry, I've already booked everything according to your requirements. A five-star hotel, a top-notch suite, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Uncle Zhao has always been prudent and reliable in his work.

Ye Qingyun nodded slightly, with a satisfied glint in his eyes.

The car stopped steadily in front of a luxury hotel. The well-trained doorman rushed forward like an arrow and gently opened the car door.

Ye Qingyun got out of the car with elegant steps, and instantly, a breath of luxury and extravagance hit him in the face.

The hotel lobby is magnificent, like a dazzling palace.

The huge crystal chandelier emits dazzling light, and the floor is covered with thick carpets that are so soft that it feels like walking on clouds, making people feel as if they are in a palace.

Uncle Zhao led Ye Qingyun and Uncle Fu to the front desk and went through the check-in procedures in an orderly manner.

Not long after, they successfully got the room card and then took the elevator directly to the top floor suite.

The moment the door opened, Ye Qingyun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "It's really good."

The spacious and bright living room is filled with high-end luxurious furniture, each piece exudes unique charm.

The oversized floor-to-ceiling windows are like a huge painting, offering a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the entire city.

"Second Young Master, please take a rest first. I will ask the waiter to bring some delicious food over." Zhao Bo said respectfully.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Zhao." Ye Qingyun nodded slightly, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and quietly overlooked this city that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Uncle Zhao's face was filled with smiles, and he asked softly, "Second Young Master, do you know who runs this hotel?"

Ye Qingyun shook his head slightly. He didn't pay much attention to these business affairs.

At this moment, he just wanted to calm down and have a good rest, and adjust his state to cope with the upcoming challenges.

"It's the Qiu family." Zhao Bo's tone revealed a hint of excitement that was hard to conceal.

"Qiu family?" Ye Qingyun had heard of this name, but was not impressed.

His thoughts raced in his mind, trying to recall more information about the Qiu family.

"Yes, the Qiu family has been very successful in recent years, with industries covering all fields. Moreover, it is said that the mysterious eldest daughter of the Qiu family is extremely beautiful!" Zhao Bo's face was filled with smiles, and he seemed to be quite interested in this topic.

Ye Qingyun frowned slightly. He hated people who relied on family power the most.

However, this has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to get too involved in the fights between these families.

At this time, the doorbell rang and the waiter brought a sumptuous lunch.

Ye Qingyun sat down and tasted the delicious dishes.

……

After meeting Ye Junhao, Qiu Rongyao returned home and was gloomy all day long, losing his appetite.

Mrs. Qiu saw it and was worried.

Finally one day, Mrs. Qiu couldn't bear it anymore. She walked over to Qiu Rongyao and asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong with you? Ever since you met Ye Junhao last time, you have been so depressed. Did something happen?"

Qiu Rongyao sighed deeply, looked at his wife, and said, "Madam, it's nothing serious, just something bothering me. Ye Junhao's second young master is about the same age as our Qiu Xue, and he has good character and looks. So, I want you to ask Qiu Xue if she has anyone she likes. If not, I'd like to arrange for them to meet. What do you think?"

Mrs. Qiu was slightly surprised when she heard what her husband said.

She knew that her husband had always been very cautious about their daughter's marriage, so why did he suddenly propose to arrange a blind date for her this time?

Mrs. Qiu asked in confusion, "Master, one moment you're trying to match Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang up, and the next moment you're asking her to go on a blind date. What's going on?"

Qiu Rongyao said thoughtfully, "Madam, this blind date is out of respect for an old friend. His son is well-off, and I hope to give Qiu Xue more opportunities to choose."

Mrs. Qiu frowned slightly. She knew Qiu Rongyao's good intentions, but she couldn't help feeling a little worried about her daughter's future.

"Master, I understand your considerations, but you also know Qiuxue's character. She is a girl with strong opinions. If she already has Xiao Tuobang in her heart, I'm afraid she won't easily accept this blind date."

Qiu Rongyao said, "I've certainly considered this, so I need you to test Qiu Xue's feelings first to see how deep her feelings for Xiao Tuobang are. If she really insists on marrying Xiao Tuobang, we can make other plans."

Mrs. Qiu nodded and said, "Okay, Master, I will ask Qiu Xue. However, we must also respect our daughter's wishes and not force her to do anything she doesn't want to do."

After dinner, Mrs. Qiu walked slowly into her daughter's boudoir with light steps.

Qiuxue was sitting in front of the window, staring quietly at the bright moon outside.

Mrs. Qiu walked gently to her daughter, stroked her hair gently, and said softly, "Child, Mom has something to talk to you about." Qiu Xue turned her head and looked at her mother, her eyes full of confusion.

"What's the matter, Mom?" she asked curiously.

Mrs. Qiu smiled and said slowly, "Your father thinks that you and the second young master of the Ye family are of similar age and are a good match, so he wants you to go on a blind date with him." After saying that, she looked at her daughter expectantly, waiting for her reaction.

Qiu Xue opened her mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief, "What? Dad wants me to go on a blind date with the second young master of the Ye family?"

Mrs. Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, your father thinks you two are a good match, so it wouldn't hurt to meet."

"But... I don't know anything about him." Qiu Xue frowned and muttered.

"It doesn't matter. You'll understand each other after meeting. Maybe you will fall in love at first sight." Mrs. Qiu comforted her daughter, trying to dispel her concerns.

Qiu Xue looked reluctant and said coquettishly, "Mom, I don't want to think about these things now."

"Silly child, you are not a child anymore, it's time to plan for your future. The Xiao family is a famous and prestigious family, and marrying into them is something many people would dream of." Mrs. Qiu advised earnestly.

Qiu Xue suddenly remembered that Xiao Tuobang had gone on a blind date without telling her. Suddenly, she had an idea. She jumped up, clapped her hands, and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you."
