The market was quite small, spanning only a few hundred meters. A variety of products were on
disy, ranging from fresh produce to clothing and handmade essories.
Renee approached a pottery stall that featured mugs and tes in all shapes and sizes. The
earthenware seemed to be made of ceramic, and on each were detailed and beautiful vintage patterns.
She instantly had eyes on a white mug. There wasn’t anyplicated design on it, save for a faint
ck ombre design that covered the bottom half. When looked at on the whole, the mug looked like the
Yin and Yang symbol.
“Mister, this mug looks interesting!” Renee pointed towards it and eximed.
“You have great taste, youngdy!” Although the vendor was a foreign man, he was a heritage
enthusiast. Seeing how Renee had a good eye on his products, he started exining away.
“This cup’s design is actually quite intricate. There’s this thing called Taichi in the great Aeos far, far
away from us… a rather mystical concept. It exins everything that exists in our world. Seeing how
there’s both white and ck on this mug, it looks as if the colors are separated, but in reality, they are
mixed together. They contrast greatly but attract each other regardless.”
“Neither color can overpower the other, nor can they leave each other.”
“Taichi…” Renee fell into deep thought as she stared at the mug.
She somehow thought of her past rtionship with Stefan. Despite beingplete opposites, they still
couldn’t suppress the mutual attraction they felt.
Just as she was about to have the vendor hand her the mug, a cold voice came from above her head.
“I’m buying this mug.”
Renee narrowed her eyes, turning around with a scowl. “What gives? I had eyes on it first!”
With a swift turn, her eyes were met with the man’s intimidating gaze. It was then that she felt her soul
leave her body, and she froze up on the spot. Her mind drew nks, her body stiffened, and she was
simply unable to utter a single word.

Stefan was a whole foot taller than Renee. Like arge mountain, he radiated a suffocating aura.
Behind him was the warm sunlight,plementing his brilliance and ethereal looks.
“But I was the one who paid first.” Stefan ced a stack of cash on the counter as he stared at Renee
with his usual arrogant eyes.
Renee was still in disbelief. She rubbed her eyes, thinking she must be hallucinating.
The man before her was, in fact, Stefan, the one who she hadn’t seen in six months. The man… who
reincarnated.
He seemed much more dashing from when they parted. Moreover, it was likely because he had
received a cornea transnt from Jovan; his eyes looked cold yet nonchnt at the same time.
Although Banrea wasn’t arge town, she had never expected that they’d bump into each other in such
a quiet marketce.
Stefan, on the other hand, had long forgotten Renee’s appearance. He had even forced himself to
forget how her voice sounded. Hence, in his perspective, the petite woman in front of him was merely a
stranger of the same race.
Since Renee wasn’t reacting much, he didn’t want to pay any more attention to her either. He turned to
the vendor and said, “Please hand me the cup now. My fiance is still waiting for me.”
‘Seraphina is a woman of great taste, I’m sure she’ll love this mug as a gift.’
“I’m sorry, thisdy had her eyes on it first. I can’t sell it to you.” The vendor returned Stefan his thick
stack of cash and brought the mug to Renee with a smile. “I hope this mug can brighten your day,
youngdy.”
“I… I don’t need it! You can just give it to him!” Renee backed away like a coward and quickly rushed
out of the marketce.
She had never expected to see Stefan again. Thinking back to their past and the deal she made with
the skies, she viewed herself as a monster. She would only be safe as long as she stayed away from
him.
‘Just look at his current life now that I’ve left. It’s amazing. Not only has he brought H Group to new
heights, but he also got his happy ending as well. I could never give him the bliss that his expression so
clearly shows…’
