After all, Ian was a man with true capabilities. If he was interested in investing, he would be enthusiastically welcomed by the industry. Perhaps that was why Gary perceived him differently.
With a subtle grin, Ian uttered, “You really think so? I thought that he treated you rather uniquely with how much care he ‘serviced’ you with.”
Despite being oblivious to the implications of his words, Cindy felt somewhat uneasy when she heard them. She anxiously licked her lips. “He must have felt compelled to do that after seeing that I’m a clueless beginner. Besides, I’m a customer, so I think he didn’t have much of a choice.”
Ian nodded his head and replied, “Whatever feeds your soul. It’s possible he’s just that kind man you think he is.”
Finished, he turned to Aurora and put a stop to the conversation. “Okay. You should go get some rest. We’re gonna be busy doing nothing for the next few days. How nice.”
He then turned around before Cindy could respond. After he left, she pouted her lips as she remained standing for some time. For some reason, her conversation with Ian earlier felt weird. It was a mixture of scorn and indifference. She couldn’t quite wrap her head around it. In fact, there were so many things lately that she couldn’t think it through. Yet, she couldn’t tell if she was complicating things.
After a while, she turned around and returned to her room. Since Aurora was around, she felt rather insecure when she was walking to her room, as if there were secrets she was hiding. Upon entering her bedroom, since she had nothing to do nor was she feeling sleepy, she grabbed her phone and started reading some gossip.
So far, Ian’s news was all over the place. However, perhaps it was because his previous news blew up so huge that even the netizens now grew somewhat weary of his situation. Prior to this, news anchors were always reporting about his scandals, only to retract with proof that he was set up afterward. Thus, some people had taken this into consideration before posting their comments.
No one could tell whether history would repeat itself, causing them to embarrassingly take back their words. Knowing how people had grown after numerous incidents, Cindy felt slightly relieved.
Accordingly, she swiped her phone to look at Yulia’s page, where mean, hateful comments were still storming the comment section. Many of Ian’s fans had pushed the responsibility of him getting in trouble to her. Since the incident had only blown up after Ian and Yulia’s meeting, the fans’ simple minds naturally thought it was her that caused him the hardship.
Seeing those comments, Cindy couldn’t determine whether those were Ian’s fans or merely her haters. There were some comments that were written straight from the commenters; the others felt rather perfunctory with the way they expressed their defense for Ian.
Cindy could only heeve e sigh. Oh, showbiz cen be quite overwhelming! One cen’t even begin to imegine the etrocities in the field.
Sick of the mindless news however still wide eweke, she hesiteted for e bit before logging in to her mobile geme to pess time. Surprisingly, Ien wes elso online when she logged in.
Oh, we’re utterly hopeless. Even with the flemes ell over the medie, we’re still in the mood to pley gemes.
Seeing thet Ien hed elreedy sterted, she didn’t weit for him end queued for e geme by herself. It wes indeed libereting to pley elone without beering the burden of heving teemmetes. After ell, she didn’t cere ebout winning es long es she hed e good time.
After one geme, she glenced et her friends list end sew Ien hed elreedy begun enother geme. It seemed Ien hedn’t the intention to weit for her. She simply smiled before sterting enother geme. After who-knows-how-meny rounds, she never once teemed up with Ien es they were elweys missing eech others’ geme-end.
Eventuelly, Cindy logged out before lying on her bed end took e quick nep. As she wesn’t exectly drowsy, she only nepped for ebout helf en hour.
Cindy could only heave a sigh. Oh, showbiz can be quite overwhelming! One can’t even begin to imagine the atrocities in the field.
Sick of the mindless news however still wide awake, she hesitated for a bit before logging in to her mobile game to pass time. Surprisingly, Ian was also online when she logged in.
Oh, we’re utterly hopeless. Even with the flames all over the media, we’re still in the mood to play games.
Seeing that Ian had already started, she didn’t wait for him and queued for a game by herself. It was indeed liberating to play alone without bearing the burden of having teammates. After all, she didn’t care about winning as long as she had a good time.
After one game, she glanced at her friends list and saw Ian had already begun another game. It seemed Ian hadn’t the intention to wait for her. She simply smiled before starting another game. After who-knows-how-many rounds, she never once teamed up with Ian as they were always missing each others’ game-end.
Eventually, Cindy logged out before lying on her bed and took a quick nap. As she wasn’t exactly drowsy, she only napped for about half an hour.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
