Chapter 2027 Upon Reflection
Ian wasn't lying when he said that he hadn't spoken much to Yulia. He knew that Cindy would certainly feel rather
offended because he hadn't told her about it. So, he no longer dared to hide it from her and decided to come clean.
Cindy listened to his explanation attentively, and she gave his stomach a soft pinch after hearing what he said.
"How should I deal with you if I find out that you're lying to me?"
He quickly reached over to pull her in for a hug. "I wouldn't dare to do that. You're so smart—I'm too scared to lie to
you."
Cindy didn't press him since Aurora was beside them, so she decided to let him off the hook temporarily. Once it
was time for them to board, they got onto the plane and found their seats. Aurora must have woken up a little too

other while Aurora's seat was separated by an aisle. That way, Ian and Cindy could talk without having to worry too
much.
Once everyone settled down in their seats, Cindy turned around to look at Ian. "Is there anything else you're hiding
from me?" Ian had already expected this. He knew that she wouldn't let Yulia's visitation go so easily. It was the
same logic—he felt just as uneasy when he found out about Cindy and Gary meeting up with each other.
They held the same beliefs about each others' opposite-sex relationships, so it wasn't hard for him to put himself in
Cindy's shoes. Ian held Cindy's hand as he spoke. "I'm not hiding anything from you. I just don't think there's a point
in mentioning this. Yulia has her own selfish intentions for visiting me—she didn't just come because she wanted to
see me. She only came because she's struggling on her own. She probably wanted to show me how tough she had
it so that I'd put in a good word or two for her." Ian spoke in a warm and sincere tone. "I don't think she has any
other intentions toward me now. In fact, I think she might even hate me. Her life wouldn't be in such a state if it
weren't for me."
Cindy pressed her lips together as she stared at Ian with a suspicious look on her face. "Are you sure you're not
hiding anything else from me?"
He sighed. "There's nothing else. Don't you believe me?" Only then did Cindy look away from him. "Fine. I believe
you, but I won't let you go so easily if this happens again."
"Okay, okay." Ian beamed. "If I ever hide anything from you again, you can punish me however you want to." He
seemed pretty serious about it, and Cindy understood where he was coming from. He's right. I think Yulia might
actually resent him. Although she never had a good reputation, people usually think of her amazing talent and skills
when they mention her name. It's easy for one's flaws to be concealed when you have impressive skill sets. I guess
people used to have a rather neutral impression of her—she might not be extremely lovable, but at least people

drain. It's no surprise for her to resent and blame Ian since she isn't the most generous person to begin with.
After a while, Cindy found herself a comfortable spot on the plane before closing her eyes to rest. However, more
thoughts popped into her head after she did so. She had been suspicious of Ian earlier, and for one second, she had
considered the worst possible scenario that could occur. Now that she was reflecting on her actions, she couldn't
help but realize how sensitive she had been. Ian was working in the entertainment industry, so he would definitely
interact with female celebrities. She knew that she couldn't continue to be so overprotective of her man. If she
continued acting that way, Ian might feel repulsed by her actions, and she would only be straining herself.
Cindy let out a long sigh. This might be the greatest downside of having a boyfriend who's in the entertainment
industry. He has too many women and too many temptations around him, and that just makes me feel really
insecure.
