Chapter 1875 A Different Approach
There were even some fans who solemnly wished for Ian to make an honest woman out of Cindy, considering how
she had dedicated herself to him during her prime, and how that alone was an astounding feat.
Upon reading the contents of the news and the comments that followed, Ian couldn’t help feeling comforted and
relieved by them.
Cindy, on the other hand, was oblivious to all this. She was happily munching away on her snacks, and when she
was done resting, she linked arms with Ian and strolled around the park some more.
This time, they did not indulge in any more games or rides, and merely circled the amusement park idly.
They couldn’t remember the last time they had been so carefree. Cindy had been with Ian since his debut, and she
understood better than anyone what his days and schedules were like as a rising celebrity. Usually, most of his days
were spent hiding away from the public eye and being wary of his surroundings whenever he went out.
In actuality, celebrities were humans, too, and all they wanted was to maintain a high-flying career without
sacrificing any modicum of privacy in their normal lives.

chance to put their arms up to hail a passing taxi, for they had only just stepped through the gates when they
noticed representatives of the press crouching patiently by the curb.
Cindy and Ian stood frozen for a second, and he instinctively made to pull her away from the paparazzi. However,
she was faster, and she quickly looped her arm through his to keep him firmly in place.
The press immediately swarmed around them.
Cindy had a mask on, but even so, Ian could tell she was smiling based on the way her eyes curved into crescent
moons; she was not hostile toward the press at all.
Naturally, he understood what she intended to do. Now that his narrative was on the track of flipping in his favor, he
needed to act the part and ride the waves of this positive twist.
Besides, leaving the press a good impression at present would help them solidify their mending reputation. If he
were to walk away now and offend the press, then retribution might very well come in the form of scandals and
snide articles.
As repressed as Ian was, he knew he had to force a pleasant front, so he rearranged his features and tried to look
as amiable as possible.
The press appeared more respectful this time, and while they swarmed around the couple and bombarded them
with requests for comments, it was clear to see that they had filtered through their questions.
This time, they did not pester Ian on matters surrounding Bryce’s will, though the rumors about the Morgan Family
were still brewing and simmering online. Instead, the media seemed to have received a memo beforehand, and
they collectively avoided bringing this up in front of Ian.
Presently, all their questions were about Ian and Cindy’s love life. The both of them had only ever appeared within
the same picture alongside crew members and agency staff, and never had they been sighted while dating.
Seeing them dating in their own privacy was a refreshing change, and a new topic of interest for the press. More
importantly, the girl who had posted those pictures earlier claimed that Cindy was a gentle soul who was kind to her
fans, which led the media to focus more on her than Ian.
Cindy smiled and patiently answered the media’s questions to the best of her ability.
While this was happening, Ian stood to the side, feeling out of place. He was still a little hostile toward the press,
though that was more of an ingrained response than anything else. In all fairness, all the scandals that had broken

representatives.
But after a while, when he witnessed Cindy’s natural charm and affable demeanor as she handled the press, he
began to relax.
He reached an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his embrace, then interjected to answer one of the
reporters, “Well, of course we do have plans to settle down, but seeing as I haven’t met her family, I think it’s best if
we take our time at the moment. There’s no rush, and when my schedule frees up, I’ll definitely visit her parents.”
The reporter followed up without missing a bit, asking, “Are you saying that you haven’t met her family at all even
though the both of you have been in a relationship all this time?”
Ian chuckled, which was a rare sight where the media was concerned. “As you know, she’s obviously already met
my parents. But as for hers, I’ve only ever spoken to them on the phone. I haven’t had the time to visit them just
yet, but I will once I have the time. I’m sure our families have given their blessings, but one shouldn’t discard
formalities, right?”
It was hard to believe this was the same Ian who had actually called the police on the press when they badgered
him with incessant questions.
