Heart Stealer

In the kitchen of the magnificent and beautiful Jing family manor, Zhang Sufang can always be seen busy at work every day.

Zhang Sufang cherishes this job very much because only by working hard can she earn enough money to repay her family's huge debt.

Therefore, she devoted herself to her work, hoping to change her family's plight through her own efforts.

Despite the heavy workload, she always maintains an optimistic and positive attitude and greets every day's challenges with a smile.

Every morning when she wakes up, she gives herself a bright smile in the mirror and then faces the challenges of the new day with full energy.

Whether it's washing greasy pots and pans, preparing delicious dishes, or cleaning every corner of the kitchen...

Zhang Sufang always completes all her work meticulously and strives to achieve perfection.

Mrs. Jing was deeply impressed by Sufang's diligence and kindness.

She often praised Sufang in front of Master Jing: "Sufang is a really good girl! Not only is she quick and skillful, but she's also very kind-hearted. We're lucky to have someone like her to help with the housework!"

Jing Tianxin, the eldest son of the Jing family, also noticed this ordinary woman, Zhang Sufang.

Although she always wears plain clothes on weekdays, it is hard to hide her natural beauty.

Especially when she is concentrating on the work at hand, her slightly lowered eyes are like a clear lake, sparkling with smart and charming light;

The occasional smile on the corner of her mouth is as beautiful as the flowers blooming on the branches in spring, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

At some point, Jing Tianxin found himself always looking for Zhang Sufang inadvertently.

Whenever he saw her, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

In the early morning, in the corridor of the Jing family, the sunlight shines through the half-closed curtains, casting mottled light and shadows.

Zhang Sufang was mopping the floor with a mop, when Jing Tianxin appeared in her sight.

Zhang Sufang's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a bit. She recalled the embarrassing experience when she first came to Jing's house - that night, she accidentally broke into Jing Tianxin's bedroom and slept in his arms.

Although Jing Tianxin did not blame her afterwards, this incident became a stone in Zhang Sufang's heart.

Every time she saw Jing Tianxin, she would unconsciously lower her head to avoid facing him head-on.

Jing Tianxin watched Zhang Sufang hurry by with her head down. He stopped and called her softly, "Sufang."

Zhang Sufang stopped when she heard the voice. Her shoulders trembled slightly. She turned around, her head still lowered, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Master Jing, is there anything I can do for you?"

Jing Tianxin stepped forward, trying to make her tone sound relaxed and gentle: "Sufang, I'm not a tiger, why do you always rush to avoid me when you see me?"

Zhang Sufang's face flushed. She raised her head, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes, and answered the question irrelevantly: "I... I didn't mean it..."

Jing Tianxin couldn't help but move when he saw Sufang's face, which became more charming because of shyness.

He tried to ease her tension: "Sufang, I know you felt very embarrassed about what happened that night, but I really don't take it to heart. We are friends, aren't we? I hope you can treat me as naturally as you treat others."

After hearing Jing Tianxin's words, Zhang Sufang's inner anxiety seemed to ease a little.

She nodded slightly, a grateful smile on her lips: "Thank you, Master Jing. I... I will try to relax a little."

Jingtian smiled with satisfaction: "That's good, we are all family, there is no need for so many restrictions."

Zhang Sufang felt Jing Tianxin's kindness, and the embarrassment gradually dissipated.

She raised her head and looked at Jing Tianxin bravely, with a determined light in her eyes.

From then on, Zhang Sufang became more and more comfortable in front of Jing Tianxin, and their relationship became closer.

One evening, Jing Tianxin finished his work for the day in the study. When he walked out of the room, he happened to meet Sufang cleaning the living room.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, giving her a golden halo.

Zhang Sufang bent down and wiped the furniture with light and graceful movements. Jing Tianxin stopped involuntarily and watched her quietly.

Zhang Sufang felt someone was watching her, so she looked up and met Jing Tianxin's gaze.

She was slightly stunned, then smiled warmly: "Master Jing, are you done? Do you need me to prepare anything for you?"

Jing Tianxin came back to his senses and cleared his throat awkwardly: "Oh, no, thank you, Sufang. I just... I just think the sunset is beautiful today."

Zhang Sufang followed his gaze out the window and nodded: "Yes, it's really beautiful."

After saying that, Sufang turned around and went to do other work.

Zhang Sufang's kindness and optimism made Jing Tianxin feel warm in his heart, and he realized that he was not only attracted by Sufang's appearance.

In fact, Zhang Sufang had long been attracted by Jing Tianxin's tall and handsome appearance.

But she always reminded herself that the gap between their identities was too big. She was just an ordinary servant, and he was the heir to the family business.

This inferiority complex made her afraid to express her emotions, and she could only hide her love deep in her heart.

One evening, the setting sun dyed the entire sky orange and red, like a gorgeous painting.

The Jing family villa seemed particularly quiet, with only Jing Tianxin and Zhang Sufang left at home.

Jing Tianxin strolled in the garden, looking around for Zhang Sufang.

Finally, at the end of the winding path, he found Zhang Sufang taking a leisurely walk.

She was wearing a white long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind, making her as pure and beautiful as a blooming lily.

Jing Tianxin took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk towards Zhang Sufang.

He walked up to Zhang Sufang, stopped, and stared into her charming eyes.

Jing Tianxin said affectionately, "Sufang, perhaps in your opinion, there are many insurmountable obstacles between us. However, to me, these are insignificant and not worth mentioning at all.

What I love is the real you—your kindness and your strength. I don't want you to suppress or hide your true feelings deep down because of any external factors."

Zhang Sufang raised her head when she heard this and met Jing Tianxin's fiery gaze. A trace of subtle hesitation flashed across her eyes involuntarily.

She quickly lowered her head and bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

After a while, Zhang Sufang slowly said: "Master Jing, I thank you for your care and concern for me all the time. But I really don't dare to have any improper thoughts, and I don't think we should..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Jing Tianxin.

Jing Tianxin stretched out his right hand without hesitation and gently held Zhang Sufang's slightly cold little hand.

In an instant, a warm current came from the palm of her hand, as if carrying some magical power, making Zhang Sufang's heart beat like a deer.

"Sufang, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance. Let us face this world together. No matter what the future holds, I am willing to bear it with you." There was a determined light in Jing Tianxin's eyes.

Zhang Sufang's eyes were moist. She felt Jing Tianxin's sincerity, and her inner defenses finally collapsed.

She nodded slowly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Seeing this, Jing Tianxin opened his arms and hugged Zhang Sufang tightly.

The two bodies hugged each other tightly, their heartbeats intertwined, as if the whole world only had the two of them.

"Sufang, I love you." Jing Tianxin whispered in her ear.

"I love you too, Tianxin." Zhang Sufang responded with a slight tremor in her voice.
