Chapter 1721
However, at this point, he was face-to-face with Cindy about this subject. If he kept on concealing hisfeelings, he wouldn’t be able to say these words to her when he made up his mind.
Therefore, he took a deep breath and lifted his head to look at her. “I don’t know if you’ll believe thewords that I’m about to say now, but I can assure you that they are my truest thoughts. You know that Idon’t lie.”
Cindy put her hands on her thighs and clenched them into fists.
She could feel her heartbeat beating so loud that her ears were starting to vibrate, and it was as if thewhole world had gone quiet. At the moment, she could only hear Ian’s voice and her own heartbeat.
Her voice was a little hoarse, but she was still able to speak. “Go on.”
He looked at her and spoke in a gentle voice. “After spending some time with you lately, it seems that Ihave some different feelings for you. I’ve seen many women in my life, especially the beautiful girls inthe entertainment industry, but no one has given me such a feeling before.” He slowly took a deepbreath before continuing with his words. “I think I like you.”
Cindy stared at his eyes for a long while without reacting to his words. Her mind seemed to have goneblank instantly while Ian’s last words kept on echoing inside.
I think I like you.
Naturally, she was shocked but at the same time, she had the feeling that she had expected it, and itwas as if her entire heart was raised for a moment before being slowly lowered again. The feeling thatfollowed was the assurance that her suspicions were right.
On the other hand, Ian was a little surprised that she wasn’t reacting to his words at all.
No matter her answer, shouldn’t she give me a reply? Why isn’t she saying anything?
He furrowed his brows slightly and asked, “Did you hear what I just said?”
Cindy paused for two seconds before nodding her head. In reality, her entire body was shaking a little,but her voice was surprisingly calm at the moment. “You are the only one speaking in the house. Whywouldn’t I hear you? I’m not deaf.”
Moments ago, Ian was slightly nervous when uttering those words but after listening to her, he felt hisnervousness disappear in an instant.
He looked at her resignedly and said, “Since you’ve heard me, is there anything you want to say tome?”
Suddenly, Cindy had an urge to laugh because she had never seen Ian this down-to-earth before.
“I haven’t thought of an answer yet.”
Even though she suspected that he might have feelings for her, she never thought about how toapproach him once the barrier was torn down.Does that mean our false relationship now becomesnovelbin
reality?
She thought about it and asked, “What do you mean?”
Immediately, he was left stunned. What do I mean? Didn’t I tell her already? I thought I’ve made myselfclear.
Since he uttered those words before, it became much easier for him to utter them again. “What do Imean? I just want to tell you that I like you.”
“What then?”
Again, he was speechless. What does she mean? What more does she want?
Cindy lowered her head and glanced at her hands on her legs, which were now shaking unnoticeably.“You told me that you like me, then what?”
She wanted to know what Ian actually wanted, whether it was to be together with her, or simplybecause he wanted to tell her about it.
She remembered that the company didn’t allow him to commit to any relationships because his careerwas on the rise at the moment.
Of course, the relationship they declared to the public was false, so it wasn’t under the company’sconsideration. However, she was now wondering whether Ian was thinking of turning this relationship
into reality.
Ian was in a rare state of confusion as he raised his hand to scratch his head. “What I meant is that Ilike you, and I want you.”
