Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1596

Staring at the face on the TV screen, Cindy finally let out a sigh after a long while. Honestly speaking, even looking at him through the screen would make her heart flutter. Just one look at his face, she would recall how he looked when he kissed her last night.

At that time when it happened, she didn't close her eyes and had them wide open as she stared into his equally widened eyes in close range. Because her mind was in a mess, she couldn't read the emotions in his eyes.

She had seen such drama tropes where a couple ended a fight with a kiss, but such tropes would only happen to the leading casts.

Could it also happen between an employer and an employee if they were of different sex?

What a difficult question to answer! she thought and sat up cross-legged on the bed, finishing the entire variety show.

Although she had never carefully watched any shows with lan in it, she finally had the chance now.

What is this feeling, though? It feels... odd. Although she knew him well in reality, the person she was watching on the TV was not the one she knew.

The person lan was in front of herself and in front of others were two completely different people.

Maybe she was overthinking it, but whatever it was, she had the feeling that lan didn't look happy at all on TV; all his smiles seemed forced, which was different from when he usually smiled.

Once the show ended, the commercials began. Cindy picked up her cell phone again as she leaned back against the headboard of the bed. Actually, she had the urge to send lan a text, but she had no idea what to say.

To get past the problem between them, they had to find time to sit down and talk it over calmly. Even if they were going to part ways, they had to first make things clear.

Now, Cindy had already passed the initial stage where she was mad, and seemed to have slipped into an awkward phase, which was not knowing how to face lan.

For a long while, she hesitated while clutching her cell phone. In the end, she placed it down. Never before had she ran away from a problem, but this time, she chose to hide.

Meanwhile, Aurora was at lan's place the whole time. In the evening, she made dinner for him. After some thought, she decided to check out the other bedroom.

As Cindy wouldn't be here for the next few days, she was a little worried and thought that she should stay here. Pushing the door of the other bedroom open, she furrowed her brows slightly when she looked in.

The room was neat and tidy. Clearly, someone had lived here, but lan and Cindy were the only occupants in this place. No matter how she thought about it, it was apparent who once owned this room.

So, lan and Cindy have been living in separate rooms for a while now? Aurora recalled that when she first visited the place, she could actually tell that both of them weren't too intimate in their relationship yet. Back then, she already suspected that they were sleeping in separate bedrooms. But they've been living under the same roof for such a long time now and they're still sleeping separately? This is... a little too much.

While she was rooted to the entrance of the bedroom, the door to lan's bedroom swung open, and lan paced out lazily.

At first, he didn't notice that Aurora was standing there, and he paused. After that, he realized that she was standing outside of Cindy's bedroom.

That room... Of course she'd figure it out. Trotting toward the dining table, he said, "I'm hungry. Let's eat."

Turning around, Aurora asked, "Did the both of you already have an argument before this? Or have you been sleeping in separate rooms this whole time?"

Frustrated, lan took a seat at the dining table and said the first thing that came into his mind, "We've always been sleeping in separate rooms." Then, he added, "There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

Aurora pursed her lips as she stared at him. Seconds passed by and she nodded as she muttered, "No, there's nothing wrong with that." It seems like both of them have high self-esteem and gave a lot of thinking into the future. That's why they don't give themselves out easily. This is the right thing to do!
