Heart Stealer

Chapter 139 Take Care of Her for Me

For some reason, Qiu Xue has become crazy about eating buns recently.

Especially the buns made by Aunt Miao herself, they are simply amazing!

Every time the buns come out of the oven, their aroma is like an invisible magic.

It spreads quickly and goes straight into people's nostrils, making people start to drool uncontrollably just by smelling the scent.

These buns not only have a skin as thin as a cicada's wing and crystal clear, but also have an amazing elasticity and toughness that you can feel when you take a bite.

Not to mention the plump and juicy fillings that are rich in ingredients. They are as sweet, tender and smooth as jelly, dancing happily on the tip of your tongue. Every bite is full of happiness and leaves a long aftertaste.

Qiu Xue seemed to have discovered a new world of gourmet food that she had never been to before, and she became deeply addicted to it.

Every morning, before daybreak, she could no longer suppress her inner desire and got up early.

I couldn't wait to sit at the dining table, happily waiting to enjoy the delicious breakfast carefully prepared by my aunt.

Just this morning, Qiuxue devoured three whole vegetable buns in one breath.

Plus two round boiled eggs, and finally a large cup of steaming hot pure milk.

But even so, she still felt unsatisfied, as if her stomach was a bottomless pit, and no matter how much food she stuffed into it, it seemed as if it would never be filled.

Qiu Xue contentedly rubbed her slightly bulging belly while looking at her father, who was leisurely flipping through the morning paper, with a smile on her face, and playfully joked,

"Dad, if you don't come over for breakfast soon, I'm going to eat yours too!"

As she spoke, a sly gleam in her eyes, and her face was filled with a mischievous yet smug expression.

He looks like a greedy little cat, as if showing off his amazing appetite to the world.

When Mrs. Qiu heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but giggle.

She looked at Qiuxue with eyes full of doting, and gently scolded her, "Qiuxue, you're pregnant now, so it's a good thing that you can eat. If you're not full, just tell your mother and I'll ask Aunt Miao to make some more."

Qiu Xue's face was filled with a bright smile, and she said softly to her mother, "Don't worry, Mom, I was just joking with you. I'm already very full."

"Qiuxue, where are you planning to go later?" Mrs. Qiu asked with a smile.

Qiuxue blinked her bright eyes and asked coquettishly, "Mom, I want to go to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Can you come with me?"

"Okay. I'll go with you." Mrs. Qiu agreed without hesitation, a kind smile on her face.

After breakfast, Qiu Xue, accompanied by Mrs. Qiu, happily went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.

……

Xiao Tuobang was on vacation today. He came to the swimming pool in the villa and swam in the water like a fish for more than an hour, enjoying the coolness and freedom of the water.

He played until he had enough fun before going ashore to rest, as if he wanted to throw all his worries away.

Xiao Tuobang lay on the sofa, looking up at the blue sky comfortably.

When Qiu Xue was not at home, his life seemed to have lost its color and he had no energy to do anything.

He hadn't had such a carefree trip for a long time, as if he had regained his long-lost freedom and happiness.

A few days ago, in order to win back Qiu Xue's heart, Xiao Tuobang refused to sign the divorce agreement no matter what.

Qiu Xue was so angry that she scolded him in person, saying that Xiao Tuobang didn't want to divorce because he was reluctant to leave their company.

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing deeply into Xiao Tuobang's fragile heart.

When he thought of what Qiu Xue said, he became increasingly angry.

At present, he and Qiu Xue have already reached an agreement on the divorce, and all that is left is to sign the final divorce. Now that his relationship has been torn, he has nothing to worry about.

Xiao Tuobang didn't want to be looked down upon by Qiu Xue. He wanted to let Qiu Xue see that he could live well even if he left their company.

Xiao Tuobang stood up from the sofa. His muscular body shone in the sun, and water droplets slid down his skin like crystal pearls.

He walked back into the house with steady steps, walked into the cloakroom, and carefully selected a suit with exquisite tailoring and excellent texture.

This suit seemed to be tailor-made for him. Every line perfectly outlined his tall and slender figure and fit his broad and powerful shoulders and slender waist perfectly.

After straightening his collar and cuffs, he picked up the car keys on the table and walked downstairs calmly.

When he arrived in front of the garage, he gently pressed the remote control and a black luxury car unlocked.

He gently opened the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and started the engine.

Xiao Tuobang skillfully manipulated the steering wheel and drove towards his father-in-law's villa.

The scenery along the way was picturesque, but he had no intention of appreciating it.

He hasn't been to his father-in-law's house for a long time.

The car drove into the villa, and looking through the window, the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar building came into view.

The courtyard gate that I had entered and exited countless times, and the grass and trees that were once familiar to me, now seem a little distant.

He slowly stopped the car, took a deep breath, and calmed himself before opening the door and getting out.

Xiao Tuobang walked into the living room and saw his father-in-law sitting on the sofa, reading a newspaper with relish.

The gentle smile on his father-in-law's face made Xiao Tuobang feel a little more relaxed.

Before Xiao Tuobang could speak, his father-in-law greeted him warmly, "Tuobang, you've come just in time. Come over and have a few drinks with me."

Xiao Tuobang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Dad, it's not time for dinner yet, why do you want to drink so early?"

Qiu Rongyao put down the newspaper and said with a smile: "Qiu Xue ate my breakfast, so I asked Aunt Miao to make another one, so we can have breakfast and lunch together."

Xiao Tuobang frowned when he heard this: "Where's Qiuxue?"

"She went to the hospital with your mother."

Xiao Tuobang's heart tightened and he quickly asked, "Dad, what happened to Qiuxue?" There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.

"She and your mother went to the hospital for a physical examination. We don't care about them. Come, Tuobang, come and drink with me." Qiu Rongyao didn't seem to notice Xiao Tuobang's uneasiness.

Although Xiao Tuobang was nervous, he still accompanied Qiu Rongyao to the dining table.

He sat at the dining table, looking at the cup of fragrant rice wine in front of him, but he felt no interest at all.

He took a sip gently, and the spicy taste instantly spread in his mouth, making his throat feel hot.

He tried hard to control himself, not wanting his father-in-law to see that he was unwell.

Seeing this, Qiu Rongyao had no choice but to pour himself a drink.

As he poured the wine, he said, "This is the rice wine I bought in the countryside. It has a mellow taste and is much better than the expensive liquor in the city."

Xiao Tuobang was afraid that his father-in-law would get drunk, so he hurriedly talked about the business first.

He took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, "Dad, I came here today because I have something to talk to you about."

"Tuobang, just tell me what's the matter. I'm listening." Qiu Rongyao put down his wine glass and looked at Xiao Tuobang intently.

Xiao Tuobang hesitated for a long time, knowing very well that his next words might greatly disappoint his father-in-law.

He took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak: "Dad, I'm sure you've heard about what happened between Qiuxue and me. We're getting a divorce. I want to... resign as the company's president first. I hope you can approve it."

His voice trembled slightly, as if every word required all his strength.

After saying this, he stared at his father-in-law quietly, anxiously waiting for his response.

Qiu Rongyao slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He stared at Xiao Tuobang and said in a serious tone: "It is normal for couples to have occasional quarrels. Don't mention divorce lightly."

"Dad, it's not me who insists on getting a divorce, but Qiuxue who is determined to get a divorce." There was a hint of helplessness in Xiao Tuobang's voice.

"Tuobang, Qiuxue is indeed a little willful, but because of this, you need to be more tolerant and patient with her. Don't really go to the point of divorce, otherwise you will regret it in the future." Qiu Rongyao advised earnestly.

"Dad, I've tried my best to communicate with her, but I feel like we really can't go on..." Xiao Tuobang's eyes revealed deep fatigue and despair.

"You're both furious right now, and both of you need some time to calm down. Tuobang, the food is getting cold, ask Aunt Miao to heat it up for you. This rice wine is quite strong, and I seem a little tipsy. I'm going back to my room to rest first."

After Qiu Rongyao finished speaking, he slowly stood up and took a few steps forward with a slightly staggering step.

He was obviously really drunk. Xiao Tuobang hurried forward to support his father-in-law and carefully sent him back to his room to rest.

Xiao Tuobang gently covered his father-in-law with a blanket. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he heard Qiu Rongyao whisper behind him:

"Tuobang, Qiuxue is my most beloved eldest daughter. I sincerely hope that you can take good care of her."

"Dad, I understand. You can rest assured. I'll be back soon."

Xiao Tuobang's heart was like a pot of mixed emotions, with complicated emotions intertwined.

He knew very well that Qiu Xue didn't need his care at all, but he couldn't bear to refute Qiu Rongyao's kindness in person, so he had to pretend to agree and then left the Qiu family silently.
