Chapter 1671


    Chapter 1671 No One’s Home


    Aurora emphasized the words ‘other people’—she even nodded as she spoke. Upon realizing this, Ian


    shot her a side re as he hastened his footsteps toward their house. “Is that so? I never knew that


    she enjoyed badminton so much.”


    Ian’s footsteps were so quick that Aurora had to jog a little to catch up with him. Despite this, she


    continued to ramble. “I guess it depends on who she’s ying badminton with. That guy’s so nice to


    Cindy! He bought her a racket, and she even epted his gift. You know how Cindy’s like—she


    wouldn’t have epted the gift if she had a bad impression of the guy. So, I’m not surprised that she


    agreed to y badminton with this guy. It seems like they enjoy each other’spany.”


    Ian wasn’t an idiot—he could tell that Aurora was implying something else. However, he still felt


    somewhat uneasy upon hearing what she said. Mom’s right. Cindy’s the sort of person who rarely


    epts a gift no matter how expensive it is. Furthermore, since the guy gave her a badminton racket, it


    clearly means that he intends to continue ying badminton with her. If she epted the gift, it also


    means that she agreed to the idea of more badminton games with him.


    Ian strode into their condominium block before entering the elevator. Aurora walked beside him and


    continued talking. “I bet they are still at the park nearby. When Ist heard that guy’s voice message to


    Cindy, he mentioned that he’d wait for her there.”


    “I guess,” Ian muttered as he pressed the button to shut the elevator doors. It was evident that he no


    longer wanted to stay on that topic. After licking her lips and contemting for a short while, Aurora


    decided to drop it as well. She knew that things would turn for the worse if she continued talking.


    Once they got home, Aurora changed her clothes before washing her face in the bathroom. When she


    came out, Ian was already on the couch with his phone in one hand. However, he wasn’t calling Cindy,


    nor was he texting her—he was ying an online mobile game! Aurora felt the urge to sneer at him.

    She could tell that Ian was trying his best to act calm.


    His girlfriend’s out ying badminton with another guy. No boyfriend would be able to tolerate such a


    thing! Honestly, it would be perfectly normal for Ian to express his emotions in such a situation. I have


    no idea why he insists on ying it cool, Aurora thought.


    Ian lost both games that he yed. His gaming teammates weren’t providing much help, and his skills


    were worse than usual too. In the past, Ian had never cared much about winning or losing the games.


    Simr losses had urred in the past, and Ian had never been bothered by it.


    However, he was extremely frustrated after losing two games today. He was so furious that he flung his


    phone onto another couch before reaching for the television remote and turning the television on. After


    flicking through more than 20 channels, Ian realized that there wasn’t a single thing he felt like


    watching. He angrily flung the remote onto the ground. Even the simplest things in his daily life felt like


    a hassle right then.


    Meanwhile, Aurora had already returned to her room. She kept her bedroom door ajar as she rested on


    her bed and scrolled through her phone. She had been paying attention to the noises outside from the


    very start, and she could hear Ian throw his phone and smash the remote control onto the ground. The


    corner of her lips curled upward as she fought the urge to smile. It was the first time she had ever seen


    Ian acting in such a way, and she was genuinely amused.


    After scrolling through her phone for a while, Aurora checked the time. She didn’t feel hungry since


    they had had desserts in the café earlier. However, she got off the bed and left her room when she


    thought about preparing dinner for Ian and Cindy. Aurora had intended to ask Ian what he wanted to


    eat for dinner, but she realized that he was nowhere to be seen when she stepped out into the hall.


    She thought that Ian had gone back to his room, so she went over to knock on his door. Yet, no


    response came from inside. “Ian?” she called a few times. When she didn’t receive a response, she


    twisted the doorknob to let herself into the room. She was greeted with an empty room.


    That’s funny. I didn’t hear him opening or closing the door earlier. He must have intentionally silenced


    his movements. Well, what’s the big deal? He probably just went out to meet his girlfriend. He doesn’t


    have to be so secretive about it. After standing outside Ian’s room for a while, Aurora returned to her


    room. Neither Cindy nor Ian were home, so she had no reason to cook.
