Chapter 1411

Cindy combed her hair to the side. “You should go wash up.”

With that, Ian left for the washroom in strides, whereas Cindy laid the food out on the table before
sitting down. She glanced at the entrance of the washroom while letting out a breath of air that she was
holding in. I only caught a glimpse of his body, so why does he look so wary? He looks alright, but I
don’t believe that he was never unclothed in front of someone else.

Meanwhile, Ian changed into a new set of clothes after washing up, and he was once again the
gentleman whom she was used to seeing. With the utensils laid out, Cindy lowered her gaze. “Let’s
eat.”

Instead of digging in, Ian asked, “Did you not run into any paparazzis?”

Cindy shook her head. “I found it odd too that there was nobody outside.”

Despite his raised eyebrow, Ian said nothing. After they finished their meal, Ian’s phone rang with a call
from Hannah. As the call was for Ian, he answered the call at the balcony, so Cindy didn’t know what
their conversation was about. Ian returned after a short while to sit on the sofa. “We’ll have to wait. The
driver has yet to come.”

Cindy said nothing, as she had a feeling that something was on Ian’s mind. After around half an hour,
Hannah’s call came again. With his phone in his hand, Ian only gave a light grunt as his response at
the end of the call before hanging up. Putting his phone aside, he leaned against the sofa. “We won’t
be going anywhere in the morning.”

Startled, Cindy’s first reaction was to check on the news online. Sure enough, there was a commotion



going on online. This time, it wasn’t a revelation from a third party, but Ian’s agency posted a short
message using Ian’s social media account, admitting that Ian was in a relationship with her. In order to
spend more time together, his girlfriend was arranged to work as his assistant, taking charge of things
regarding his work and personal life. The message also mentioned that their relationship was stable,
and they wished to have more personal space.

Although she knew the agency was behind everything, Cindy was still feeling a little uneasy about it.
Sure, it was a lie, and the two of them were only faking a relationship, but Cindy had a hard time
keeping her cool. Putting her phone away, she was at a loss of words. Meanwhile, Ian was just chill
about it. Turning on the TV, he began watching the show while leaning on the sofa.

As she had nothing else to do, she curled up on the sofa. After a while, Ian told her, “I don’t have a
girlfriend.”

Taken aback at his sudden confession, Cindy replied, “I know you broke up with her.”

Ian smiled before repeating himself. “I don’t have a girlfriend.”

Cindy didn’t reply to that as she wasn’t sure what he was implying.

Staring at the TV, he continued, “While I liked that girl, my feelings aren’t reciprocated. What I said on
the talent show was a means to pressure her into choosing me, as I assumed she might feel
concerned. I was hoping that one day, she would come toward me. Alas, she didn’t.”

Stortled, Cindy’s first reoction wos to check on the news online. Sure enough, there wos o commotion
going on online. This time, it wosn’t o revelotion from o third porty, but Ion’s ogency posted o short
messoge using Ion’s sociol medio occount, odmitting thot Ion wos in o relotionship with her. In order to

Although she knew the ogency wos behind everything, Cindy wos still feeling o little uneosy obout it.
Sure, it wos o lie, ond the two of them were only foking o relotionship, but Cindy hod o hord time

As she hod nothing else to do, she curled up on the sofo. After o while, Ion told her, “I don’t hove o

Token obock ot his sudden confession, Cindy replied, “I know you broke up with her.”

Ion smiled before repeoting himself. “I don’t hove o girlfriend.”

Cindy didn’t reply to thot os she wosn’t sure whot he wos implying.

Storing ot the TV, he continued, “While I liked thot girl, my feelings oren’t reciprocoted. Whot I soid on
the tolent show wos o meons to pressure her into choosing me, os I ossumed she might feel
concerned. I wos hoping thot one doy, she would come toword me. Alos, she didn’t.”

When she heard that, Cindy stammered, “Oh… Oh… I… I see…” That was a response that was rarely
seen coming from her.

Ian smiled in a self-deprecating manner after recalling his past. “Isn’t this pathetic?”



With a frown on her face, Cindy didn’t think it was pathetic, as she figured that those who took the
initiative in relationships would have their hands tied after that. The first to fall in love would also be the
likeliest one to get heartbroken. Such was the iron law in relationships.

Heaving a sigh, Ian said ruefully, “I sometimes wonder if I missed out on her because I joined the talent
show. If I stayed with her instead of joining the show, might things have ended differently?”

Cindy wasn’t sure what to say, so she listened in silence. On the other hand, Ian didn’t seem to be
expecting a response, as all he wanted was to vent his feelings to someone. For the longest time, he
pushed down a lot of his feelings, which was beginning to suffocate him. A listening ear was all he
wanted. Later on, he went on to say, “I used to think that loving someone is easy, but I only came to
know that while that’s true, it’s hard to have the other party reciprocate my feelings.”
