Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 1899

lan could sense that Gary didn't really want to talk to him, so he wasn't truly nice to him, and the two of them ended the call after a while.

Right then, he gripped Cindy's phone and turned toward the washroom to see that Cindy was still in the shower, and it seemed like she might take a while. Immediately, he deleted Gary's call log from Cindy's phone history. He reckoned there was no need for Cindy to know since they only had meaningless exchanges during the call.

Then, lan placed Cindy's phone back on the bed before he left the room and went back to the couch. Despite that, he felt uncomfortable after that, especially when he thought of Cindy's job.

Still, he couldn't talk to Cindy about it since she didn't know, so he could only keep it to himself. Unable to explain his feelings, lan suddenly thought of Yulia.

From another point of view, only Cindy could upset him more than anyone else ever could.

There was only so much place in one's heart, and if another were to enter, it might disrupt the relationship. Even if the party in question was oblivious to what was happening, it was still enough for their partners to be upset.

After lan had waited for a while, Cindy came out. While drying her hair, Cindy headed toward the kitchen and asked calmly, as if she knew about everything already.

"Do you think I can compete with Yulia when I finally gain popularity in the designing field in the future?"

lan's gaze trailed after Cindy. "You don't have to wait until next time to be better than her because she's nothing compared to you in my eyes."

At this moment, Cindy glanced at lan and said nothing despite the corners of her lips curling up.

lan had a shoot afternoon the next day, so he only decided to head out at noon after clinging to Cindy at home for the entire morning till noon. Before he went out, Cindy asked in a joking manner, "Do you think you'll run into Yulia today?"

Pausing, lan turned around to look at Cindy before he felt like joining in the joke as well. "Let's make a bet, then."

Cindy raised her eyebrows. "And what would that be?"

lan asked, "Are you betting on Yulia showing up or not?"

In Cindy's opinion, she was sure Yulia would show up at his shoot again, so lan betted against Yulia showing up.

Right then, Cindy crossed her arms before giving lan a serious look. "What are we wagering on?"

lan pondered for a moment. "What about an engagement?"

Surprised by what lan suggested, Cindy asked, "What do you mean?"

lan looked as if he had figured things out as he explained, "You'll get engaged to me if I lose, and I'll get engaged to you if you lose."

Immediately, Cindy, who initially had a normal expression on her face, was rendered speechless when she heard lan.

Although what he offered was beneficial to her, did he really think that she was a fool by taking such a detour?

"You fool." Then, she reached out and pinched lan's waist while lan pulled her into his embrace. "Are you betting with me or not?"

After contemplating for a moment, Cindy nodded before she put her arms around lan's waist. "Alright, alright. I'll bet on it. Still, it's beneficial to me no matter how I look at it."

lan planted a kiss on Cindy's forehead. "Are you sure that you're taking advantage of me when I seem to be winning?"

Then, the two of them cuddled for a little longer before heading out while the driver was already waiting downstairs.

When they went down, the driver was leaning against the car door and smoking while staring at his phone.

However, he had a conflicted look on his face, and they couldn't tell if it was a good thing or a bad thing.

When Cindy and lan headed toward the car, the driver quickly placed his phone down. "Are you guys ready? We will be leaving now."

After getting in the car, Cindy fastened her seatbelt before asking, "Who are you talking to just now? Your expression was really serious."

The driver glanced at Cindy and lan from the rearview mirror and answered hesitantly.

"I was just talking to some of the other celebrity drivers. Since all of us became acquaintances as we fetch you guys every day, we created a group chat to talk to each other, and I was just joining in on the fun."'
