Chapter 1432


    Ian straightened his room for a bit. When he came out a whileter, Cindy was already done cooking breakfast, so he went over to the dining


    table. As he sat down, he said, “I’ll help you clean when wee backter. Leave all the heavy work to me.”

    Cindy gave a bark ofughter. “There’s no heavy work. This house has been kept very clean in the first ce, so I only need to arrange


    everything.”


    At this, Ian chuckled as well. “I’ll handle all therge furniture and appliances. I’ll feel bad if you don’t allow me to do anything.”


    Cindy looked at him. “You’ve already paid me, so why would you feel bad?”


    All at once, Ian burst intoughter. “I’ve always wanted to ask you this question—are you that strapped for cash?”


    Cindy nodded seriously. “Yes, I’m that strapped for cash. It’s too bad that I’m not valuable, else I’d even want to sell myself off.”


    Cindy and Ian then left for a show. While their scandal had abated on the Inte, they were still targets of criticism when they went out and


    faced others. It was better for Ian since no one dared to outright point fingers at him before his face, but it was different for Cindy. Many


    people felt that she was only dating Ian because of some twist of luck, so they regarded her with hostility out of either jealousy or abhorrence.


    By now, Cindy was used to it, so every time she was confronted with these gazes that difited her, her bank bnce shed in her mind.


    At the thought of money, all gloom dissipated. This time, Ian was singing the finale for a show, so it was just the span of a song’s length and


    their work would be over in 10 or 20 minutes. Cindy waited for him backstage while scrolling through the news on the Inte on her cell


    phone alone. The entertainment industry suffered nock of gossip, so when news of her and Ian had subsided, another news naturally took its


    ce. Currently topping the search engine was news of a particrdy inserting herself into a particr director’s marriage. There were still


    plenty who condemned thedy since many were timid in real life, so they could only unleash their wrath on the Inte. She inadvertently


    glimpsed some of thements, only to see that they were even more vicious than the censure against her and Ian back then. When she saw


    thosements, she heaved a sigh. I wonder if these people would dare to be so ruthless when they encounter something they loathed in real


    life. Putting her cell phone away, she leaned against the window and let out a sigh again. Before she’d even finished sighing, someone spoke


    beside her. “It’s you?” Startled, Cindy turned and looked over. What a coincidence! It’s the assistant who previously asked me how I bagged


    Ian. Straightening, she asked, “You’re also here today?” The assistant nodded. “Did you just arrive? My celebrity is already done.” Cindy


    murmured an acknowledgment. “Why aren’t you with him if he’s done?” The assistant curled her lips. “My handsome celebrity is in his


    dressing room. There’s a senior celebrity there who wants to chat with him, and he even ordered me to wait outside.


    I just wonder what they’re talking about that’s so secretive.” Cindy’s brows furrowed, her wariness ever present. Since she wasn’t quite


    certain which celebrity this assistant worked for, she questioned, “Is your celebrity newly debuted?” The assistant blinked. “It has been over a


    year.” Cindy couldn’t outright ask about the celebrity’s status, so she could only remind that assistant tactfully by telling her, “Be careful that


    you’re not set up by others as Ian once was.” The assistant promptly giggled. “It probably won’t happen. Everyone is still scared since your


    celebrity’s matter went out of hand. So, who would still dare to take the risk of doing such a thing? After all, the person won’t be able to stay


    in the entertainment industry anymore if he’s found out.” Cindy hesitated slightly. Her celebrity has debuted for more than a year, so he


    probably guards against such a thing. Thus, she nodded. “Hmm, you’re right.” The assistant stood there with her for a good while, chatting


    about their usual work. Since her celebrity had a rather free schedule, the assistant didn’t have much work. Thus, she had it rtively easier.
