Chapter 1676


    Chapter 1676 He Enjoyed the Meal


    Peter didn’t seem like he was about to give up. “That’s fine. The club members are pretty


    understanding. A lot of them prioritize their work too, so they only show up once in a while for fun. You


    just have to drop by every now and then—we don’t force our members to turn up all the time.”


    Ian was starting to get annoyed at how persistent Peter was. Can’t he tell that Cindy and I are rejecting


    his offer? We’ve made things pretty obvious, so why can’t he just take the hint? Right when Ian was


    about to say something, Cindy parted her lips to speak. “Personally, I don’t really enjoy sports. After a


    full day of work, I’d prefer to spend the rest of my time at home. I can’t help it—I’m just azy person.”


    Upon hearing her, Ian shut his mouth to stop himself from talking. He realized that it was a good


    decision to allow Cindy to speak for herself. If I had said something rude earlier, Cindy would have


    thrown a tantrum at me. This is so troublesome! I’m annoyed at this guy, but I have to consider so


    many other things before expressing my annoyance.


    Finally, Peter gave up on his suggestion and nodded in agreement. “That’s true. It’s hard for people to


    find time to rest nowadays, so they’d probably prefer to stay home and scroll through their phones or


    watch some television once they get off work.” This effectively ended the conversation regarding joining


    the club. Right at this moment, the waiter entered the room and served them their jug of freshly-


    pressed juice.


    Peter rarely drank sweet drinks since he was an athlete, so he asked the waiter for a jug of in water.


    Ian, on the other hand, took the jug of juice over and poured Cindy a ss of it. “I wanted to order


    mango juice, but they don’t have it here.”


    Cindy lifted her gaze to look at Ian. I can’t believe he remembers that I like mango juice. She didn’t


    know what to say, so she remained silent for a few seconds. “I nced at the menu earlier, and I


    realized that they didn’t have mango juice either.”


    “I should’ve got you one at the supermarket earlier,” Ian uttered with a smirk. Cindy was at a loss for


    words. Her gut feeling told her that Ian’s attitude was extremely different today—he was nothing like his


    usual self. Logically speaking, we have no reason to put on a show in front of Peter. Yet, Ian’s actions


    are confusing me. If he’s not acting… Is he expressing genuine feelings for me?


    After looking at Ian and Cindy for a while, Peter shifted his focus to something else. Even an idiot could


    tell that something was going on between them. Previously, Cindy told me that Ian was her friend, so I


    assumed that they were just regr friends, but based on their interactions, it seems like they’re more


    than that. I’m certain that Ian doesn’t just treat Cindy as a friend.


    After the waiter showed up with a jug of in water, Peter poured himself a ss of it before he sipped


    on his drink. He had been honest when he said that he hadn’t had his dinner, and he was genuinely


    hungry after ying so many rounds with both Cindy and Ian. However, he had lost his appetite after


    sitting with them.

    On the other hand, Ian, who had been in a bad mood earlier, seemed to have gotten his spirits lifted as


    time passed. His appetite grew along with his spirits, and all of the dishes tasted amazing to him. The


    fish that Cindy had ordered based on his suggestion tasted the best among all the dishes. Throughout


    the meal, Ian didn’t bother to even nce in Peter’s direction. He just ced all of his focus on Cindy.


    When Cindy’s ss was empty, Ian would pour her a refill. When Cindy couldn’t reach one of the


    dishes, he would immediately stand up to bring the dish over to her. Ian’s actions were so obvious that


    Cindy couldn’t ignore them even if she wanted to. While Ian was in a good mood, Cindy seemed more


    embarrassed by the situation. Ian’s being a little too much today. Initially, I wondered if he was


    genuinely showing concern for me, but the more I look at the way he’s acting, the more I feel like he’s


    just putting on a show for Peter. I don’t get it—this show is unnecessary since Peter doesn’t know who


    we are.


    Ian was the only one who seemed to enjoy the meal, and he even offered to pay the bill after they were


    done eating. As the three of them stepped out of the restaurant, Ian rolled his shoulders back for a


    stretch. “It’s still pretty early. Should we go for a walk?” he asked as he nced up at the skies.
