Heart Stealer
Chapter 46 Accepting Parents' Arrangements
In order to please her half-brother Ye Qingyun, Ye Qingxin deliberately approaches Xiao Tuobang.
She tried to use various means to create a rift in the relationship between Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue, thereby creating an opportunity for Ye Qingyun to contact Qiu Xue.
Ye Qingyun did not approve of his sister interfering in his love life. When he learned that the conflict between Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang was caused by Ye Qingxin, he immediately found his sister.
In the living room of the Ye family, bright and soft light shone on the faces of Ye Qingyun and Ye Qingxin, making their features clearly visible.
This was the first time that the two siblings sat down and talked face to face after Ye Qingyun returned to China.
The atmosphere in the living room was very depressing and filled with tension.
Although Ye Qingxin is the elder sister, she can't help but feel a little uneasy when facing Ye Qingyun, the younger brother born to the first wife.
Ye Qingyun usually puts on a cold and superior attitude, making it difficult for people to get close to him.
His stern face and deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate deep into people's hearts, making people feel fear.
Therefore, Ye Qingxin didn't even dare to breathe in front of Ye Qingyun, for fear of accidentally angering him.
Every look and every subtle movement of Ye Qingyun made Ye Qingxin tremble with fear.
She knew very well that her status in the family pales in comparison to Ye Qingyun, and as the eldest son of the family, Ye Qingyun is even more highly regarded.
This difference in status made Ye Qingxin full of awe, even fear, towards Ye Qingyun.
Whenever Ye Qingyun looked at her, her heartbeat would involuntarily accelerate and her body would become stiff.
Ye Qingyun looked at Ye Qingxin who lowered her head and said, "Sister, I really beg you, please don't interfere in my personal emotional affairs anymore."
Ye Qingxin frowned, her voice filled with anxiety: "Qingyun, if I don't care about you, who will? You see, you are still alone now. As your sister, how can I not worry?"
Ye Qingyun's eyes were firm, as if he had made up his mind: "I know what I am doing. I have my own plans and pace. Please don't interfere with the relationship between Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue anymore."
Ye Qingxin asked in confusion: "What did I do wrong? I did this all for you. Qiuxue is such a good girl, why can't you be moved by her?"
Ye Qingyun took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm. "It's true that I have feelings for Qiu Xue. But I respect her more. If she chooses Xiao Tuobang, then I will bless them. I hope she lives a happy life. I don't want you to interfere in their relationship anymore. That's not the way to love someone."
Ye Qingxin's gaze wandered between Ye Qingyun's determined eyes, and her body trembled slightly.
She bit her lower lip lightly and finally spoke: "Qingyun, I understand. I will respect your choice and no longer interfere in their affairs."
Ye Qingyun smiled slightly, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, sister."
Although Ye Qingyun has let go of this relationship, Ye Qingxin's heart is not completely calm.
Her thoughts drifted back to the moment when she first met Xiao Tuobang. That handsome figure stirred up uncalmable ripples in her heart.
A few days later, at a business cocktail party, Ye Qingxin held a glass of champagne and moved gracefully among the guests.
Her eyes inadvertently caught the figure of Xiao Tuobang, who was whispering with Qiu Xue. The tacit understanding between the two rekindled the resentment in her heart.
Ye Qingxin took a deep breath and decided to take action.
She walked up to Xiao Tuobang with a confident smile on her face: "Mr. Xiao, I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to my art exhibition next week?"
Xiao Tuobang smiled politely in return, but his eyes never left Qiuxue: "Thank you for your invitation, Miss Ye. But I have already promised Qiuxue that we will attend your exhibition together."
Ye Qingxin's smile gradually froze, but she quickly regained her composure: "Qiuxue is a lucky girl. I welcome you all anytime."
Xiao Tuobang nodded, said nothing more, and turned to continue talking with Qiu Xue.
Ye Qingxin was deeply touched by Xiao Tuobang's indifference. Every word he said was like a knife, piercing Ye Qingxin's heart.
Looking at the backs of Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue leaving as a pair, she turned around and left the hotel in pain and sadness.
Ever since that party, Ye Qingxin has stayed indoors, lost in her own thoughts all day long.
Her mother, Mrs. Jin, noticed her daughter's anomaly and approached her with concern, asking, "Qingxin, why are you so bored at home lately? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Qingxin raised her slightly haggard face and said softly, "Mom, I'm fine, it's just that something is making me upset."
Mrs. Jin sat beside her daughter and gently held her hand: "Is it because of love? I told you long ago that I shouldn't let you interfere in Qingyun's life. Now, are you also trapped in it?"
Ye Qingxin nodded helplessly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yes, Mom. I fell in love with Xiao Tuobang, but he only has Qiuxue in his heart."
Mrs. Jin sighed and patted the back of her daughter's hand gently: "In this case, let's let go of this relationship and start over.
Your father and I have found a good match for you, Zhong Lihao, the rich second generation of Niu Duoduo Company. Although he is not good-looking, our two families have similar backgrounds. If you two get married, it will be a strong alliance that will benefit both of us."
Ye Qingxin was silent for a moment, but finally accepted her parents' arrangement and began dating Zhong Lihao.
At first, she didn't have much expectations for this marriage, but Zhong Lihao's steadiness and care for her gradually touched her heart.
Just when everything seemed to be on the right track, by chance, Ye Qingxin learned a shocking piece of news from her best friend Ya Ya - during a trip abroad, Ya Ya saw Zhong Lihao walk into a baby products store and buy several sets of baby clothes.
Ye Qingxin's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. She could not accept this fact.
When she returned home, she resolutely told her parents that she wanted to break up.
After hearing this, Mrs. Jin hurriedly tried to persuade him, "Qingxin, even if Zhonglihao has a child, you'll still be the principal wife if you marry him, and your status won't change. Why ruin such a good marriage over such a small matter?"
But Ye Qingxin had made up her mind, and a firm light flashed in her eyes: "Mom, this is not a trivial matter. I can't accept a man who hides his past. What I want is sincerity and honesty. If you can't even do this, then what's the point of such a marriage?"
Mrs. Jin looked at her daughter's strong back and felt mixed emotions.
She sighed heavily, "Qingxin, it's not that mom is forcing you to make a choice. Think about it, have you forgotten how we've been through all these years? We have no status or position in the Ye family. If you marry into the Zhong family, at least you'll be the legitimate wife."
Ye Qingxin gradually calmed down. She thought that what her mother said made sense, so she never mentioned breaking up again.
Although Ye Qingxin no longer mentioned breaking up on the surface, she was still in pain and confusion in her heart.
She began to frequent bars and drink to relieve her sorrow.
After getting drunk one time, Ye Qingxin met a mysterious man.
The man's name was Gu Ziteng. He stayed silently by Ye Qingxin's side, listening to her stories.
Ye Qingxin felt Gu Ziteng's warmth, and the two gradually developed feelings for each other.
However, the gears of fate turned again.
One day, Ye Qingxin received an anonymous letter, the content of which shocked her.
It turned out that Zhong Lihao's child was not his biological child, but an orphan he adopted.
The reason why Zhong Lihao concealed this matter was because he was afraid that Ye Qingxin would leave him because of it.
After learning the truth, Ye Qingxin's confusion immediately dissipated.
He and Zhong Lihao reconciled and soon they got married.
