Chapter 940 She Doesn''t Love You (Part One)
"You''re right. Just as that saying goes, children who grow up in poor families are better equipped to
deal with the problems in their lives," Leena answered with a smile. She wasn''t angered by Louisa''s
ridicule, nor did she think that it was necessary for her to defend herself. What Louisa thought about
her didn''t affect her at all. If Louisa believed that Leena belonged to a poor family, she was totally fine
with it.
Kevin looked at Leena in astonishment. He didn''t understand why she was making a secret of her
family. But if she wanted to conceal her background, he would not reveal it in front of Louisa. Maybe
Leena had her own reasons. Kevin would support her under any circumstances.
Louisa was under the impression that Kevin was boasting of Leena''s cooking skills. But to her intense
surprise, the dishes were so tasty that she buried herself in the food. Louisa had to admit that Leena
was much better at cooking, but she didn''t consider it to be a big deal. After all, rich families had their
own private chefs. Knowing how to cook was not a necessity that a man looked for in a wife.
"Mrs. Gu, what do you do?" Louisa asked as she took a sip of the lemonade in front of her. She gave
her a once-over, not bothering to conceal her dislike for Leena, even though Kevin was present in the
same room. She wanted to belittle Leena in an attempt to disy her superiority.
"Oh, I work in the fashion industry," Leena answered honestly. She didn''t think it was necessary to hide
that fact. Kevin treated Louisa like a younger sister, so Leena decided to be nice to her.
"What? The fashion industry? Are you kidding me? You look like a country bumpkin!" If Kevin weren''t
here, Louisa would haveughed out loud and mocked Leena with the meanest words.
"Louisa, show some respect," Kevin said with a scowl. He had been nice to Louisa before, but her
disrespect toward Leena was infuriating him. He knew Louisa had a thing for him, but he treated her
like his sister. If she dared to offend Leena again, Kevin wouldn''t mind teaching her a lesson, even if
she was the daughter of his superior.
"Kevin, I was just telling the truth. She really does look like a country bumpkin," Louisa grumbled,
pursing her lips. Her heart broke when Kevin shouted at her because of another woman.
"It''s okay, Kevin. Don''t me her. I admit that Miss Ye has better taste in fashion," Leena said, smiling
at him sweetly. She didn''t take Louisa''s taunts seriously at all. She was only eager to know why she
thought she was a country bumpkin. Was it because of her makeup, or was it her clothes? Leena could
draw inspiration from Louisa''s words and add new elements to her works.
"Have some more food. You look much thinner than before. I guess you weren''t taking good care of
yourself in France." Kevin put some food into Leena''s bowl. Since Leena was well able to deal with
Louisa, he decided not to interfere in the girls'' conversation. He felt lucky that his wife was an open-
minded girl, otherwise he would have been in a difficult position.
"Oh no! I''m not hungry at all!" Leena cried as she stared at the extra food in her bowl. She really
couldn''t eat any more.
"Honey, you must eat more. Health is the most important thing." Kevin''s heart broke when he saw
Leena''s pale face. His attention was so caught in her that he didn''t notice Louisa''s livid expression.
Louisa gnashed her teeth together and clenched her fists when she heard him call Leena "honey".
"I''m in good health. Come on! You are overreacting!" Leena''s brothers had the same reaction this noon.
As a result, she had eaten too much and had no appetite now.
"Kevin, she looks as strong as a cow. You are worrying way too much," Louisa taunted. Kevin had
never treated her like this before, and it drove her crazy. She regretted having stayed. If she had left
earlier, she wouldn''t have had to see all this and suffer the jealousy she felt at the moment. She
thought that Leena would be angered because of her, but she was wrong. Louisa was the one who was
pissed off.
"She''s right! Look, I''m so strong! Come on, eat your own food. You must be hungry after work." The
reason why Leena held back the anger she felt toward Louisa was that Leena didn''t want to put her
husband into a tough position. After all, Louisa was the Commander''s daughter. If Leena vented out
her anger on Louisa, Louisa might say unpleasant things about Kevin to her father, which would affect
Kevin''s career. As a result, Leena decided to swallow the insults and humiliation that came out of
Louisa''s mouth silently. Leena used to be a spoiled and willful girl, but she had changed a lot after
being with Kevin.
"Kevin, I want to eat the crab. Could you please peel it for me?" Louisa asked with a sickly sweet smile.
She refused to admit that Kevin loved this woman, so she tried to drive a wedge between them.
"Sure. Just wait a moment. I''ll peel a crab for Leena first." As the only man present, Kevin thought it
was his duty to serve the girls. He didn''t realize Louisa''s wicked intention. Still, he would always give
priority to his wife.
"Honey, you must help Miss Ye. I have an upset stomach, and I don''t have the appetite." These crabs
were bought yesterday, and they had failed to eat them all. Leena was stuffed and couldn''t take
another bite. Upon hearing her words, Kevin furrowed his brow, worrying about her.
"How is your stomach? Let''s go. I''m taking you to the hospital." Kevin was a little shocked but ted
when Leena called him "honey". It was the first time she addressed him like that. Her soft voice
sounded so beautiful that he had an urge to kiss her on the lips.
"There''s no need to go to the hospital. I''ll be all right soon," Leena immediately refused Kevin. She had
called him "honey" on purpose, because she wanted to make Louisa jealous. She was not a fool, and
she realized that Louisa had a thing for Kevin. But Leena trusted Kevin, and decided to disy their
affection in front of Louisa.
Louisa gritted her teeth in exasperation when she saw that Kevin''s attention was fully on Leena. A
touch of gloom shed through her eyes as she stared angrily at Leena.
An awkwardness developed among them during the dinner. Louisa tried to stir up trouble for Leena
again and again, but Leena pretended she didn''t realize that and continued to shower her affection on
Kevin.
Kevin was a loving husband and cared a lot about Leena. He took the initiative to clear away the bowls
and chopsticks after dinner. He didn''t agree with what most people said, that women should do all the
housework. He was always busy at his own work and seldom had time to share the housework with
Leena. He was quite ashamed of that. "Miss Ye, have some fruit please." Leena poured Louisa a drink
and peeled her fruits with a friendly smile, as if she was not angered by Louisa''s attitude at all.
"Leena Leng, don''t you think it''s inappropriate for you to ask Kevin to do the housework? Especially in
front of me, a guest?" Louisa asked her seriously. She truly felt sorry for Kevin and believed that Leena
didn''t deserve a good man like him.
"Why do you think of it that way? We are a family and both of us want to contribute. Kevin cares about
me and wants to share the housework with me. I really appreciate it," Leena exined as she sat down
on the sofa gracefully. Louisa''s eyes widened, and she felt like she was watching an elegantdy who
was born with a silver spoon. Louisa shook her head, getting rid of the thought.
"You are a stay-at-home woman, but Kevin is always busy with work. He must have been exhausted

after working the entire day. Don''t you think it''s a little selfish of you to ask him to do the housework
after that?" The happiness on Leena''s face was a real eyesore to Louisa, and thetter really felt like
gouging her eyes out.
"Miss Ye, do you really think a stay-at-home wife should do all the housework? I suppose you are going
to make yourself an example of that, huh?" Leena sneered, sighing to herself. ''Oh god, can somebody
save me from this outdated conversation?''
