Heart Stealer

As Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue's engagement day approaches, the Qiu family is filled with an atmosphere of tension and anticipation.

In the spacious courtyard of the Qiu family, Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu were busy directing the workers to make the final arrangements.

They ensured that every corner of the villa looked brand new, even the carefully tended garden, hoping to impress their incoming in-laws.

Qiu Rongyao was wearing a dark suit. His steps were firm and powerful, and every movement seemed so calm and unhurried.

Mrs. Qiu was wearing an elegant dress, with a faint smile on her face, but deep worry was hidden in her eyes.

"Hubby, Qiuxue has been the apple of our eye since she was young. I'm really worried that she'll suffer if she marries into the Xiao family." Mrs. Qiu suddenly stopped what she was doing, her voice choked with sobs as she said to Qiu Rongyao, "It would be great if Xiao Tuobang could marry into our family."

Qiu Rongyao gently patted Mrs. Qiu's shoulder, trying to soothe her anxiety. "My dear, Tuobang is the only child in the Xiao family. His parents will definitely not agree to him living with us. But don't worry too much. Tuobang has already bought a luxurious villa in the city. I believe he will take good care of Qiuxue."

Mrs. Qiu's worries were slightly relieved, but as a mother, she still couldn't completely let go.

She turned around and looked at Qiu Rongyao, her eyes flashing with determination: "No matter what, I will make Qiu Xue happy. I will do my best to ensure that she has a good life in the Xiao family."

At this moment, a car horn sounded outside the courtyard gate, followed by a black luxury car slowly driving into the Qiu family's courtyard.

The car door opened and Xiao Tuobang stepped out with his long legs. He was wearing an exquisite dark blue suit and a burgundy tie, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.

"Uncle, aunt." Xiao Tuobang walked up to Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu and greeted them politely.

Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu looked at each other and then smiled warmly.

"Tuobang, you're here. Come in and see if there's anything else you need to prepare."

Xiao Tuobang nodded and followed Qiu Rongyao into the house.

He looked around and saw that everything was arranged in an orderly manner. He couldn't help but feel satisfied with the Qiu family's meticulousness.

"Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I will treat Qiuxue well and will not let her suffer any grievances." Xiao Tuobang said solemnly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Qiu felt much more at ease.

"That's good, that's good. We believe in you, Tuobang."

Finally, the long-awaited day of proposing marriage has arrived!

The Qiu family mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, red silks fluttering in the wind, and bright flowers dotted around, making the entire mansion look like a joyful palace, filled with a strong sense of happiness.

Father Xiao led a group of uncles and aunts, who were dressed in gorgeous clothes, their faces filled with joy, and carrying heavy and generous gifts in their hands, as they walked towards the Qiu family in a mighty procession.

The betrothal gifts included a dazzling array of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as mountains of silk and satin, demonstrating the Xiao family's importance and sincerity towards this marriage.

When Xiao's father and others stepped into the gate of the Qiu family, the uncles, aunts and cousins ​​of the Qiu family had been waiting for a long time.

The two families greeted each other with greetings, and the sound of greetings was endless.

After some enthusiastic exchanges, everyone sat down and began to discuss the details of this grand wedding.

"We, the Xiao family, will do our best to hold a grand and world-renowned wedding for your family, so that everyone in the world can witness this beautiful marriage." Father Xiao said solemnly with a smile on his face.

"Then I'll have to trouble the Xiao family. I believe that with your careful preparation, this wedding will become a legend." Qiu Rongyao responded with a bow, his eyes full of gratitude and trust.

Just then, Qiu Xue walked into the living room as lightly as a fairy.

She was wearing a pink long dress today, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like peach blossoms blooming in spring;

Her hair fell on her shoulders like clouds, with a few strands playfully brushing against her fair face;

Those beautiful eyes were as clear and moving as autumn water, emitting a charming glow as they looked around.

Her beauty was as gorgeous as a blooming flower, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present and making everyone marvel at her.

From the moment Qiu Xue walked in, Xiao Tuobang could no longer take his eyes off her.

He stared at the beauty in front of him, his heart filled with endless love and joy.

"Miss Qiuxue is becoming more and more beautiful, just like a fairy from heaven!" Father Xiao couldn't help but admire her.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle Xiao. I am unworthy of it." Qiu Xue bowed slightly, a shy smile appearing on her face, like a first blooming spring flower, adding a bit of charm.

The atmosphere in the living room was both solemn and warm. Both sides discussed every aspect of the wedding in great detail.

From selecting the wedding date to arranging the wedding banquet dishes; from decorating the wedding venue to drawing up the guest list... every detail is finalized one by one.

Throughout the whole process, Qiu Xue sat quietly by the side, with an elegant demeanor and a faint smile on her lips.

Qiu Xue's gaze would occasionally quietly turn to Xiao Tuobang. Their eyes would occasionally meet, instantly igniting a spark of love that made the air around them seem sweet.

Although the Xiao family gave the Qiu family the promise they wanted, Mrs. Qiu still did not completely dispel her doubts.

She sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, her brows slightly furrowed, obviously worried about something.

She turned to the Xiao family, who were sipping tea, and spoke with a hint of worry, "I heard the Xiao family has a large farm in the countryside. This makes me worry. Will Qiuxue have to work in the fields if she marries there?"

Father Xiao put down the teacup in his hand and said gently, "Mrs. Qiu, you worry too much. Although our family runs a farm, we hire workers during busy times. We never let our family members work in the fields themselves. When Qiuxue marries us, we naturally won't let her suffer this kind of hardship."

Mother Xiao also smiled and added: "That's right. Our Xiao family has always treated our daughters-in-law with great love and care, and would never let her do any hard work."

Qiu Xue was standing aside. Upon hearing this, she hurried forward, a hint of stubbornness on her face: "Uncle, Aunt, I'm actually quite strong and I'm not afraid of working in the fields. If you need me, I can help."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tuobang's eyes flashed with admiration. He gently held Qiu Xue's hand and assured Mrs. Qiu, "Aunt Qiu, don't worry. After marriage, Qiu Xue will not only be my wife, but also the treasure of our family. We will never let her do anything she doesn't want to do."

Mrs. Qiu looked at the young couple, and the worry in her heart slowly dissipated. She finally revealed a satisfied smile and nodded gently: "In that case, I am relieved."

Father Xiao looked at his watch and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to evening.

He slowly stood up from his seat and said to his in-laws with a smile, "Oh, it's getting late. Let's stop talking here for today. There are still some things waiting to be dealt with at home. We won't disturb you any longer. We have to go back now!"

Hearing this, Qiu Rongyao quickly stood up and responded enthusiastically: "Don't be so polite, I'll see you off." After saying that, he accompanied the Xiao family members towards the gate.

Qiu Xue, who was standing by, also hurried forward and gently warned, "Uncle, Aunt, please be careful on the road."

"Yes, good boy, don't worry." Mother Xiao responded softly with a kind smile on her face.

After watching the Xiao family walk farther and farther away until they disappeared from her sight, Qiu Xue turned around and walked lightly back to the spacious and bright living room.

She walked quietly to the soft and comfortable sofa and sat down slowly. She seemed to be lost in thought, her eyes a little blurry, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

Mrs. Qiu, who had been paying close attention to her daughter's behavior, noticed something was wrong and quickly came forward, asking softly and caringly, "My dear daughter, what's wrong? Is there something bothering you that you haven't resolved?"

Qiu Xue shook her head slightly and replied in a low voice, "Mom, it's actually nothing serious. I just suddenly remembered that I'm getting married soon, and then I unconsciously started thinking about what married life will be like."

At this time, Qiu Rongyao walked over and sat down beside his daughter. He reached out and patted her shoulder gently, saying meaningfully, "Qiu Xue, when you are truly married, you will be an adult. You must learn to take on family responsibilities in your life. Husband and wife must care for and take care of each other."

Qiu Xue raised her head and looked at her father with a firm gaze. She nodded solemnly and replied, "Dad, I understand all this."

Mrs. Qiu took her daughter's hand and said, "You and Tuobang must support each other, cherish each other, and face difficulties together. As long as you truly love each other, you will definitely be happy."

Qiu Xue looked at her parents, her heart filled with warmth. "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will."
