    Chapter 1875 A Different Approach


    There were even some fans who solemnly wished for Ian to make an honest woman out of Cindy,


    considering how she had dedicated herself to him during her prime, and how that alone was an


    astounding feat.


    Upon reading the contents of the news and thements that followed, Ian couldn’t help feeling


    Cindy, on the other hand, was oblivious to all this. She was happily munching away on her snacks, and


    when she was done resting, she linked arms with Ian and strolled around the park some more.


    This time, they did not indulge in any more games or rides, and merely circled the amusement park


    idly.


    They couldn’t remember thest time they had been so carefree. Cindy had been with Ian since his


    debut, and she understood better than anyone what his days and schedules were like as a rising


    celebrity. Usually, most of his days were spent hiding away from the public eye and being wary of his


    surroundings whenever he went out.


    In actuality, celebrities were humans, too, and all they wanted was to maintain a high-flying career


    without sacrificing any modicum of privacy in their normal lives.


    Now that it was about time for them to leave, they headed out of the amusement park. But they never


    got the chance to put their arms up to hail a passing taxi, for they had only just stepped through the


    gates when they noticed representatives of the press crouching patiently by the curb.


    Cindy and Ian stood frozen for a second, and he instinctively made to pull her away from the paparazzi.


    However, she was faster, and she quickly looped her arm through his to keep him firmly in ce.


    The press immediately swarmed around them.


    Cindy had a mask on, but even so, Ian could tell she was smiling based on the way her eyes curved


    into crescent moons; she was not hostile toward the press at all.


    Naturally, he understood what she intended to do. Now that his narrative was on the track of flipping in


    his favor, he needed to act the part and ride the waves of this positive twist.


    Besides, leaving the press a good impression at present would help them solidify their mending


    reputation. If he were to walk away now and offend the press, then retribution might very welle in


    the form of scandals and snide articles.


    As repressed as Ian was, he knew he had to force a pleasant front, so he rearranged his features and


    tried to look as amiable as possible.


    The press appeared more respectful this time, and while they swarmed around the couple and


    bombarded them with requests forments, it was clear to see that they had filtered through their


    questions.


    This time, they did not pester Ian on matters surrounding Bryce’s will, though the rumors about the


    Morgan Family were still brewing and simmering online. Instead, the media seemed to have received a


    memo beforehand, and they collectively avoided bringing this up in front of Ian.


    Presently, all their questions were about Ian and Cindy’s love life. The both of them had only ever


    appeared within the same picture alongside crew members and agency staff, and never had they been


    sighted while dating.


    Seeing them dating in their own privacy was a refreshing change, and a new topic of interest for the


    press. More importantly, the girl who had posted those pictures earlier imed that Cindy was a gentle


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    soul who was kind to her fans, which led the media to focus more on her than Ian.


    Cindy smiled and patiently answered the media’s questions to the best of her ability.


    While this was happening, Ian stood to the side, feeling out of ce. He was still a little hostile toward


    the press, though that was more of an ingrained response than anything else. In all fairness, all the


    scandals that had broken out in the past that dragged him into murky waters could have been the work


    of some of these media representatives.


    But after a while, when he witnessed Cindy’s natural charm and affable demeanor as she handled the


    press, he began to rx.


    He reached an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace, then interjected to answer


    one of the reporters, “Well, of course we do have ns to settle down, but seeing as I haven’t met her


    family, I think it’s best if we take our time at the moment. There’s no rush, and when my schedule frees


    up, I’ll definitely visit her parents.”


    The reporter followed up without missing a bit, asking, “Are you saying that you haven’t met her family


    at all even though the both of you have been in a rtionship all this time?”


    Ian chuckled, which was a rare sight where the media was concerned. “As you know, she’s obviously


    already met my parents. But as for hers, I’ve only ever spoken to them on the phone. I haven’t had the


    time to visit them just yet, but I will once I have the time. I’m sure our families have given their


    blessings, but one shouldn’t discard formalities, right?”


    It was hard to believe this was the same Ian who had actually called the police on the press when they


    badgered him with incessant questions.
