Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1671

Aurora emphasized the words ‘other people’—she even nodded as she spoke. Upon realizing this, Ian shot her a side glare as he hastened his footsteps toward their house. “Is that so? I never knew that she enjoyed badminton so much.”

Ian’s footsteps were so quick that Aurora had to jog a little to catch up with him. Despite this, she continued to ramble. “I guess it depends on who she’s playing badminton with. That guy’s so nice to Cindy! He bought her a racket, and she even accepted his gift. You know how Cindy’s like—she wouldn’t have accepted the gift if she had a bad impression of the guy. So, I’m not surprised that she agreed to play badminton with this guy. It seems like they enjoy each other’s company.”

Ian wasn’t an idiot—he could tell that Aurora was implying something else. However, he still felt somewhat uneasy upon hearing what she said. Mom’s right. Cindy’s the sort of person who rarely accepts a gift no matter how expensive it is. Furthermore, since the guy gave her a badminton racket, it clearly means that he intends to continue playing badminton with her. If she accepted the gift, it also means that she agreed to the idea of more badminton games with him.

Ian strode into their condominium block before entering the elevator. Aurora walked beside him and continued talking. “I bet they are still at the park nearby. When I last heard that guy’s voice message to Cindy, he mentioned that he’d wait for her there.”


“I guess,” Ian muttered as he pressed the button to shut the elevator doors. It was evident that he no longer wanted to stay on that topic. After licking her lips and contemplating for a short while, Aurora decided to drop it as well. She knew that things would turn for the worse if she continued talking.

Once they got home, Aurora changed her clothes before washing her face in the bathroom. When she came out, Ian was already on the couch with his phone in one hand. However, he wasn’t calling Cindy, nor was he texting her—he was playing an online mobile game! Aurora felt the urge to sneer at him. She could tell that Ian was trying his best to act calm.

His girlfriend’s out playing badminton with another guy. No boyfriend would be able to tolerate such a thing! Honestly, it would be perfectly normal for Ian to express his emotions in such a situation. I have no idea why he insists on playing it cool, Aurora thought.

Ian lost both games that he played. His gaming teammates weren’t providing much help, and his skills were worse than usual too. In the past, Ian had never cared much about winning or losing the games. Similar losses had occurred in the past, and Ian had never been bothered by it.

However, he was extremely frustrated after losing two games today. He was so furious that he flung his phone onto another couch before reaching for the television remote and turning the television on. After flicking through more than 20 channels, Ian realized that there wasn’t a single thing he felt like watching. He angrily flung the remote onto the ground. Even the simplest things in his daily life felt like a hassle right then.
