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

early, for she shut her eyes after settling into a comfortable position. Both Ian and Cindy were sitting next to each

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

didn't hate her. Things have been different ever since she got involved with Ian. Her reputation has gone down the

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.
