The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1483

Chapter 1483 Throwing the Game

Ian ate his food in silence. It wasn’t until he had finished his meal that he placed his cutlery aside and finally looked up at Cindy. His tone sounded normal as he said, “You’re rather knowledgeable about him.”

Cindy blinked, but she didn’t smile despite her urge to. “Of course. I used to keep myself very updated about him.” Then, she finished off her food in a few bites. “I idolized him a lot. He’s so young, but he’s already raking in so much money. How does his mind work?”

Ian didn’t speak. Instead, he simply wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Who knows what kind of woman such an amazing man would set his eyes on. She’s going to be so lucky,” Cindy said as she cleared the table.

Ian lifted his head to glance at Cindy. “You sound like a fangirl. Let me tell you now though, men like Gary definitely do not like women who fawn over them. You need to understand this.”

Cindy blinked. “You’re talking as if he’ll like me if I stop acting so infatuated.”

Ian gave it some thought before nodding. “You’re right too. You should continue being yourself then. It’s not like it’ll affect the final result anyway.”

Cindy eyed Ian for a good while, and then she harrumphed before turning around to head for the kitchen.

Ian chuckled somewhat exasperatedly. At the end of the day, girls were just girls—they’d worship anyone at the drop of a hat. What was there for them to fawn over? Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses, so why did they have to constantly scrutinize someone’s strengths?

Cindy was still in a good mood as she happily washed the dishes. She then returned to the room and sat on the couch. “How about a few rounds?”

Ian pulled his phone. “Okay, I’ll carry you.” However, he thought of something before speaking again. “I don’t see you worshiping me despite my awesome gaming skills.”

Cindy’s eyes were on her phone. “Is gaming on the same level as making money? The latter’s a proper, grown-up thing.”

Ian immediately put down his phone. “If you’re putting it that way…”

“Hey now, don’t get angry. You can’t be so petty. I’m just joking with you, all right? I look up to you too, you know? Well, I worship you with every fiber of my being.” Having said that, she quickly picked up Ian’s phone. “Come on, let’s get this game going. Don’t get too focused on the little things.”

Ian took his phone from her and entered the game.

The two of them partied up and began to play, but Ian was deliberately not playing at his usual level today, for they kept losing all their games.

In the end, Cindy could not bring herself to continue playing anymore. She put her phone down. “You’ve got to be doing this on purpose, right?”

Ian’s eyes were glued carefully to his phone. “What do you mean? The other guys are just too strong. There’s nothing much we can do if we aren’t better than them.”

Cindy gritted her teeth. “I already said that you’re my idol, yet you’re still behaving like this. Loser.”

Ian didn’t give her a verbal reply, opting to raise an eyebrow instead. He looked absolutely infuriating.

Cindy pouted. “Very much a meanie, all right.”

Ian made a sound of acknowledgement. “Yep, I’m a mean little loser. Gary’s a generous man. Get him to play with you instead.”
