The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1426

Cindy knew that these words were meant for the people around them, so she played along. “I was dreaming when you roused me. Since I was jolted awake, my mind feels rather fuzzy.”

The corners of Ian’s mouth curved upward. “What were you dreaming about?”

Humming thoughtfully, Cindy answered in a voice colored with mild frustration, “I dreamed that I suddenly had a lot of money that just won’t finish. Just when I was planning to have a good laugh, you woke me up.”

Ian’s gaze went to her face for a few moments. I wonder if she made this dream up on the fly, but it is very likely true as well. He merely snickered without saying anything.

This public display of affection had others around them feeling rather discomfited. The makeup artist shot Ian a look before stealing a glance at Cindy. It was blatantly obvious that she wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words in the end.

During a lull in her conversation with Ian, Cindy looked around. All at once, she saw Yulia looking at her a near distance away. Yes, she was looking at her instead of Ian, and her expression was cold, wholly different from when she interacted with Ian earlier. Nonetheless, Cindy didn’t shy away. She looked her right in the eye, her gaze far more placid compared to Yulia’s slightly hostile gaze.

After staring at her for a few seconds, Yulia was the first to avert her gaze, lowering her head to look at her camera. Cindy raised a brow, a touch puzzled. Could it be that she’s Ian’s girlfriend fan, so she detests me because of my relationship with him? This isn’t entirely impossible.

When Ian was done with his makeup, he then started with the photo shoot. Cindy looked on from her chair. The entire process was smooth sailing, but Yulia’s favoritism toward Ian was painfully obvious that even the waiting crew at the side smacked their lips and commented, “This is the first time Miss Noble is so amicable toward someone.”

“Exactly,” another person seconded. “A few A-list celebrities came back then, and while Miss Noble didn’t berate them, she maintained a wintry expression throughout the shooting. But look, she’s even smiling today.”

Cindy looked over, and Yulia was indeed smiling. It wasn’t only when she was interacting with Ian, but she was still all smiles even when teaching him how to pose. Perhaps it was because she had an inherently aloof countenance, so it was exceedingly obvious when she had the faintest smile on her face. Inwardly, Cindy lamented, It’s indeed nice to be handsome. After all, he has won over Yulia Noble without any effort!
