Heart Stealer

Qiu Xue has been performing very well at work recently, and Qiu Rongyao sees it and is very happy.

After careful consideration, Qiu Rongyao decided to return the car keys that he had temporarily kept for his daughter to her.

Qiu Xue was so excited when she received the long-lost car keys from her father that she couldn't sleep all night.

Visions of herself driving down the road again kept resurfacing in her mind.

The next morning, Qiuxue got up early and dressed carefully.

After Qiu Xue enjoyed a delicious breakfast, she rushed to the garage impatiently with the car keys in her hand.

The driver, Uncle Ming, had been waiting there for a long time and had cleaned her car until it looked brand new. The body of the car was shining brightly, as if it had just left the factory.

"Miss, do you need me to take you to work?" Uncle Ming asked with a smile.

"No need, thank you Uncle Ming." Qiu Xue's face was filled with a happy smile, and she politely declined Uncle Ming's kindness.

Looking at the beloved car that was back in her hands, Qiu Xue couldn't help but stretch out her hands and gently stroke the car body.

Touching here and nudging there, his eyes were full of tenderness and love.

Qiu Xue hadn't driven for a long time, and even the steering wheel felt a little unfamiliar to her.

This little strangeness did not affect Qiu Xue's good mood.

She got into the car, started the engine skillfully, and then turned on the audio system. Qiu Xue carefully selected a song with a cheerful rhythm and turned the volume to the maximum.

As the dynamic melody sounded, Qiu Xue happily stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the Grand Metropole Hotel at lightning speed...

It was the morning rush hour, and every street and alley was crowded with vehicles and pedestrians, making the originally spacious roads extremely narrow.

The convoy was moving very slowly, and Qiu Xue had to brake frequently to avoid collisions with other vehicles.

Even with such caution, accidents still happened.

Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and Qiu Xue's car was hit hard from behind.

Qiu Xue was startled by the sudden collision and she quickly got out of the car to check the situation.

When she came to the rear of the car, Qiu Xue found that there were several scratches on the rear of the car, which looked very conspicuous.

The car that rear-ended hers was a brown luxury sports car.

Qiu Xue frowned and was about to argue with the other party.

At this moment, the door of the luxury sports car suddenly opened, and a young man in gray casual clothes jumped out.

He was wearing a black baseball cap and looked young, probably around twenty-four or twenty-five.

There was obvious anger on the young man's face, and his eyes revealed a sense of unruly and arrogant.

He walked straight towards Qiu Xue, as if ready to call her to account.

"Miss, do you know how to drive? Why do you keep moving and stopping?" The young man's tone was full of accusation.

Faced with the sudden accusation, Qiu Xue's anger was instantly ignited. She retorted without hesitation: "Sir, it was you who hit my car first. Look, my car body is all scratched. Didn't you even look at the road while driving?"

The young man obviously didn't expect Qiu Xue to fight back so directly. His expression turned ugly. "Miss, are you trying to take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail me? Humph, I've seen a lot of people like you. Are you driving like this on purpose to make people pay compensation?"

Qiu Xue's rage grew even stronger. She frowned and said unhappily, "Sir, if you think I'm trying to blackmail you, in order to prove my innocence, I have no choice but to call the police and let them handle this matter fairly." As she spoke, she reached for her cell phone and prepared to make a call.

Seeing this, the young man hurried forward to stop him. "Wait, I'm unlucky today. Miss, if you're willing not to call the police, we can discuss it. Just tell me how much you want for the repairs."

Qiu Xue stretched out a hand, and the young man took out five hundred-yuan bills from his wallet.

But Qiu Xue didn't retract her hand. She tilted her head slightly, a cold smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, and said with a slight movement of her red lips, "Sir, don't you see how much my car is worth? You think you can get rid of me with just a few hundred dollars? You drive such a high-end sports car, how can you be so stingy?"

At this time, there was a long line of vehicles behind, and some drivers began to honk their horns impatiently, and the shrill horn sounds came one after another.

The young man's face turned red. He gritted his teeth and reached into his wallet again. This time, he pulled out a thick stack of bills.

He stuffed the money into Qiu Xue's hand without saying anything, and shouted in a slightly annoyed tone: "Alright! Alright! Is this enough? Move your car quickly!"

Qiu Xue stared blankly at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses and muttered, "This guy is really rude..."

Seeing Qiu Xue still standing there in a daze, the young man honked the horn several times, and Qiu Xue finally woke up from her dream.

She was afraid that any further delay would cause traffic jam, so Qiu Xue quickly put away the money, got into the car, started it, and slowly drove away from the scene.

Qiu Xue drove to the Jindu Hotel and looked around for a parking space.

Suddenly, she saw an empty space and drove over without hesitation.

As Qiuxue got off the car, another car came and stopped right next to her.

Qiu Xue looked up and saw that it was Xiao Tuobang!

Xiao Tuobang rolled down the car window and said loudly to her:

"Ms. Qiu, why did you park your car in my reserved parking space?"

Qiu Xue glared at him and retorted, "Your name isn't written on this parking space, so why do you say it's yours? Why can't I park here?"

Xiao Tuobang got out of the car, walked around Qiu Xue, looked her up and down, and asked thoughtfully, "Miss Qiu, you are dressed so beautifully today, why are you so angry?"

Qiu Xue rolled her eyes at him fiercely, her gaze seemingly capable of shooting icy arrows. She retorted unhappily, "What's it got to do with you? Stop meddling in other people's business!"

Before she finished speaking, she turned around angrily, picked up the cute small bag, and left in a hurry like a gust of wind.

Xiao Tuobang looked at Qiu Xue's receding back, and her originally delicate and beautiful face was now full of anger.

He thought to himself: Look at her aggressive look, like an irritated kitten. Who has made the young lady angry again?

Qiu Xue hurried all the way and soon arrived at the lobby of Jindu Hotel.

At this moment, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was her father calling.

The caring voice of her father came from the other end of the line: "My dear daughter, you haven't driven for a long time. Daddy and Mommy are very worried about you. How are you? Have you arrived at the hotel now?"

Qiu Xue smiled slightly, nodded gently, and then said, "Dad, I just arrived at the hotel. I want to tell you something. I just had a minor car accident on the road."

Hearing the word "car accident," Qiu Rongyao's heart tightened instantly, and she asked anxiously, "Qiu Xue, my precious daughter, are you hurt? Is the car seriously damaged?"

Qiu Xue appeared quite calm, and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, Dad, don't make such a fuss. I'm fine. My car was just slightly bumped. But the other party was quite nice and has already offered to compensate for the damage."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Rongyao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a slightly softer tone, "That's good, that's good. But my dear, you must be extremely careful when driving next time. Safety comes first, okay? Oh, by the way, there's a very important business dinner tonight. You should come along too."

Qiu Xue subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, she had been busy all day and just wanted to rest early.

Thinking that her father would be disappointed if she didn't go, Qiu Xue hesitated for a moment and then obediently agreed.

As night falls, the lights are on.

Qiu Xue wore a gorgeous evening gown and accompanied Qiu Rongyao to the dinner party.

At this lively banquet, people were toasting each other, chatting and laughing, and a joyful and peaceful atmosphere filled the entire banquet hall.

Qiu Xue felt a little bored, and her eyes couldn't help but wander around.

She suddenly spotted a familiar figure—the young man she met during the day!

It turned out that he was the son of the Ye family! Qiu Xue was about to go up to him and argue with him when her father came over and asked her to go greet the elders.

Helplessly, Qiu Xue could only put aside the things in her mind temporarily and turn around to entertain the elders.

When Qiu Xue turned around to look for the man again, she was surprised to find that he had already left the banquet hall.

Xiao Tuobang also appeared at the banquet. His eyes never left Qiu Xue, and complex emotions flickered in them.

He quietly watched her every move, secretly thinking about something...

Xiao Tuobang walked towards Qiu Xue with a wine glass in hand.

"Ms. Qiu, what a coincidence, we meet again." Xiao Tuobang had a faint smile on his face.

Qiu Xue glanced at him and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

She was still angry about the fight for parking during the day.

"I want to apologize to you for what happened this morning." Xiao Tuobang's sincere attitude surprised Qiu Xue.

"No need, it's just a parking space." Qiu Xue replied indifferently.

"I know you must still be angry. How about this, I'll invite you to dance as an apology." Xiao Tuobang stretched out his hand and invited Qiu Xue.

Qiu Xue hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted his invitation.

The two stepped onto the dance floor and danced to the music.

Xiao Tuobang kept trying to find topics to chat with Qiu Xue, but Qiu Xue was just absent-minded and occasionally agreed with him.

When the song ended, Xiao Tuobang was still reluctant to let go.

Qiu Xue wanted to find the young man who hit her car that morning to argue with him.

She broke free from Xiao Tuobang's entanglement and looked everywhere for the young man.

Finally, she spotted him on the balcony.

"You rude guy!" Qiu Xue rushed over angrily.

The young man turned around and saw Qiu Xue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to indifference.

"You again? What do you want to do?" the young man said provocatively.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have money! You must give me an explanation today!" Qiu Xue shouted indignantly.

"Explanation? What explanation do you want?" The young man raised a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Just as the two were arguing, Xiao Tuobang came over.

"What are you talking about so enthusiastically?" Xiao Tuobang asked curiously.

"It's none of your business!" Qiu Xue and the young master answered in unison.

Xiao Tuobang smiled, turned to the young master and said in surprise: "So you are Ye Shao, I have heard of your name for a long time."

The young man glanced at Xiao Tuobang and said nothing.

"Since we are all acquaintances, why not sit down and have a good talk?" Xiao Tuobang suggested, "Miss Qiu, don't be impulsive."

Qiu Xue glared at the young master and sat down reluctantly.

"Young Master Ye, it's true that you were wrong in the first place in what happened today," Xiao Tuobang said. "However, Miss Qiu was also inappropriate. How about this, let's both take a step back and let this matter go."

The young man was silent for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay, for Mr. Xiao's sake, let's forget about it this time."

"You..." Qiu Xue wanted to say something but was interrupted by Xiao Tuobang.

"Okay, Miss Qiu, it's settled. Young Master Ye didn't do it on purpose, so why bother about it?" Xiao Tuobang comforted.

Although Qiu Xue was unwilling, she also knew that there was no point in continuing to argue.

"I hope you will be more careful when driving in the future!" Qiu Xue said this and turned to leave the balcony.

Ye Qingyun looked at Qiu Xue's receding figure and shook his head helplessly: "This unruly and headstrong girl is really a headache. Whoever marries her will probably be in big trouble!"

Unlike Ye Qingyun, Xiao Tuobang's face was full of love and tenderness.

He looked at the direction where Qiu Xue was going, and muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Is that really the case? Perhaps others would find her difficult to handle, but to me, she is one-of-a-kind."

After saying that, Xiao Tuobang took a step forward without hesitation and followed Qiu Xue's steps closely.
