Xie Mingchi's hands stiffened and dropped down. He pinched the calluses on the palms of his hands, then looked up at Ah Shi's face which had been rubbed red by him, pursed his lips, and whispered an apology.

"I'm fine..." Hua Shi coughed lightly, squeezed his hand, and his eyes fell on the other person standing behind him.

Looks familiar...

Ye Shaoqing frowned as he looked at the two people's intimate actions and Hua Shi's unfamiliar eyes. His heart seemed to be hit violently again.

He Jiang told him years ago that Miss Hua and Ming Chi were already engaged, and asked him to stop having those bad thoughts. He was skeptical at first, but now seeing this scene, he had to believe it again.

His...love at first sight...died in the womb.

What’s even more infuriating is that the look in Miss Hua’s eyes simply shows that... she has already forgotten about him!

"I'm Ye Shaoqing, Miss Hua, do you still remember me?"

Ye Shaoqing calmed down and took the initiative to break the deadlock.

When Hua Shi heard this name, the image of the wealthy Young Master Ye, whom he had met several months ago, immediately flashed through his mind.

She remembered that they met at the foot of the mountain. Young Master Ye immediately took a liking to the black cat in her bamboo basket and offered five taels of silver to buy Xiao Hei. She refused...

"Master Ye, long time no see."

Ye Shaoqing's heart choked when he heard her unfamiliar name. Now... he had completely given up.

Miss Hua had no idea about him and didn't remember him at all.

Hua Shi didn't understand Ye Shaoqing's resentful gaze, but looked at Xie Mingchi, lowered his voice, and asked, "Is he the person you are talking about?"

Xie Mingchi nodded: "Well, Shaoqing is the second young master of the Ye family dyeing workshop. No one will stop him from taking two people into the black market."

The Ye family dyeing workshop has some reputation in the town. Apart from the group of people selling in the black market, the rest of the people who want to fish in troubled waters have to look at the identity of the leader.

After all, the black market is a place for buying and selling. You have to have status, money, and the ability to afford the things there. Others will only let you in if they see your value...
