Female Novel
Chapter 1706
Cindy didn’t even dare to lift her head to look at Ian. They were currently too close to each other andshe was aware that his position was slightly inclined toward her, so if she lifted her head, they woulddefinitely end up at a very awkwardly close distance.
She tried as best as she could to retreat and she had her back pressed firmly against the basin. “Whyare you here? I’m almost done.”
As soon as she said that, she wriggled slightly and tried to slip away from the side. However, as soonas she tried to move, he moved at the same time and just about blocked her right in her path.
Suddenly, she couldn’t contain herself and she exclaimed loudly. Left without a choice, she lifted herhead and stared at him. “What are you trying to do?! I want to get out of here.”
Meanwhile, Ian’s lips were curved into a smile and the beam on his face was unmistakable. He bentdown further as he inched his face closer toward Cindy.
Just then, she tried even harder to duck. “Watch it! What are you trying to do?!”
However, Ian didn’t budge and he repeated the question from before. “What were you thinking aboutearlier? I stood behind you for ages but you didn’t even notice me.”
Cindy realized that she could no longer avoid his question, so she lifted her hand and held it against hischest. “I’m fine with you asking me a question, but why do you need to stand so close?”
Meanwhile, Ian guffawed at her words and she could even feel his chest rumbling. She tried extremely
hard to contain herself but in the end, she couldn’t help blushing bright red in the face.
Ian’s gaze remained fixated upon Cindy as he purred, “Why does it seem like you’re quite afraid ofme?”
Cindy’s eyes flitted all over the place quite nervously as she muttered, “That’s not true! I’m not afraid ofyou!” novelbin
Upon hearing that, Ian smirked as he inched even closer toward her. Originally, the distance betweenthe duo was not considered to be a safe one but now, the distance was much lesser between them andCindy could no longer bear it.
She instantly pushed him aside forcefully. “Why are you suddenly behaving so strangely recently? Justsay what you want to say. Why do you need to get so close to me?”
He grunted an affirmative response before asking, “Why is your face flushed?”
Cindy’s heart thudded frantically but she had no way of running away under such circumstances, soshe put on a calm front and replied chidingly, “You’re too close and I can’t breathe properly becausethere’s no air circulation.”
Ian stifled his laughter and replied, “Surprisingly, I don’t feel a thing. On the contrary, I feel like the airover here is fresher.”
In all honesty, Cindy couldn’t stand this side of him so turned around to walk off, but he reached outand pressed firmly on her shoulders.
His voice sounded stern as he said, “Don’t pay heed to the rumors on the Internet. I’ll deal with them.There’s no need to feel upset about those people. I’m used to the behavior of such people and if I wasaffected by them each time, I would probably have blown a blood vessel by now. In this world, somepeople aren’t fit to be called human, so we shouldn’t use our usual standards to judge them and neithershould we treat them as we would normally treat others, alright?”
Cindy, on the other hand, pressed her lips together for quite some time before asking, “Don’t you everfeel angry?” Is he so chill that he doesn’t even feel the slightest bit of anger?!
Of course, that was pretty much impossible. It would take a saint to not feel anger upon being berated,but Ian was much more focused on figuring out how to execute revenge in the future and cause theother party’s life a living hell. As such, the anger he felt was usually replaced by such thoughts. And so,he replied, “I don’t feel angry because I know that they will end up living a worse off life than me, so thethought of that leaves me feeling happy.”
Meanwhile, Cindy could not quite get over it as easily as Ian because she couldn’t tell how bad theother party’s life would end up. All she could see at the moment was that the other party kept gloatingin front of her.
As such, she mumbled, “Looks like you’re quite confident in yourself.”
Upon hearing that, Ian put some slight pressure as he grasped her shoulders. “Don’t you haveconfidence in me?”
Without even waiting for her reply, he continued, “I always thought that you had the utmost confidencein me.”
Although his words were not meant to sound accusatory, Cindy felt like he was blaming her. And so,she frowned before replying, “If I don’t have confidence in you, then I would have run away upongetting to know all those rumors from the Internet.”
Ian, however, maintained his silence and merely stared at her intently.
This guy has such a deep, penetrating gaze that no one would be able to resist him! In the end, Cindyhastily wriggled her shoulders and managed to struggle out of his grip. Then, she quickly walked offfrom the side. “You’re behaving quite oddly today. You’d better go and take some medication.”
