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 we
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 the
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.
