Chapter 344 The Person You Love May Not Love You


    “Ooh…” Pippa ran into the washroom.


    Vincent was expressionless and looked cold.


    Le continued to open her crabs as if everything had nothing to do with her.


    Callum was sweating. “Awesome! Well, can you still eat, Le?”


    Le shrugged, raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly. “I didn’t take my lunch and I’m hungry! This


    isn’t the most disgusting joke! Wait for me to tell you all the most disgusting one!”


    Vincent’s face fell and he turned displeased suddenly.


    Le nced at Vincent, thinking that the joke was good enough to prank him but she was just worried


    that Vincent had never been so badly treated in his entire life. She then spoke to Renee, “Let’s tell you


    about it next time when we go to eat something that is even more sumptuous than this!”


    “Let’s eat!” Le continued eating.


    For a while, there were only Renee, Callum and Le eating together while Vincent didn’t take his


    chopsticks but looked into the direction of the washroom. Le saw his worry but Vincent said in a deep


    voice, “Le, I just want to know, do you have a more disgusting joke than that?”


    This was the first sentence he spoke to Le when he came to HH Restaurant, Le smiled gently and


    nodded her head, “Yes, do you want to hear it?”


    The corners of his lips curled up yfully and he nodded his head, “Yes! I want to hear it!”

    “Well!” Le didn’t care but spoke about it as she opened the crabs. “One day, two brothers went to the


    theatre to watch a y. Halfway through the y, they argued over the development of the plot and


    made a bet about it. The eldest pointed to a row of spittoons in front and said, ''The loser has to take a


    sip from there.'' Unfortunately, the eldest lost so he took a sip with a frown. The duo continued to bet on


    the next episode and this time, the youngest lost. He then picked up a spittoon and gulped down fifteen


    big gulps. The eldest was astonished and spoke to the youngest in admiration, ''You’re amazing. You


    just took fifteen big gulps in a row!'' Thetter shook his head, ''It’s not that I want to drink but the spittle


    in that spittoon are so dense that I couldn’t stop.”


    “Ooh…” Renee and Callum were about to vomit after listening to Le’s joke. The had known about the


    joke of “recooking” and had been long immune to it but they always told the joke to others purposely


    during the dinner in order to disgust people and then enjoyed the food by themselves. However, they


    didn’t expect to meet Le today who was a grand master of joking. “Le, this is amazing!”


    Le smiled faintly and nced at Vincent but found that he was looking at her with unblinking eyes.


    His eyes were deep and bright, yet, there was a trace of appreciation in his eyes as if he wasn’t angry


    at all but curling up the corner of his lips yfully and then saidter, “I like this joke!”


    Boom…


    Le was dumbfounded and almost choking!


    What did he mean?


    Le tried her best to calm down the chaos in her heart and she was puzzled by his suddenment.


    She was trying to make him angry but why wasn’t he angry at all? Why did he smile at her?


    Was he crazy? Was his brain damaged?


    Le lowered her head and continued to eat.


    Renee was also a bit surprised, she and Callum looked at each other and blinked, what was going on?


    The way Vincent looked at Le seemed different! When he looked at Le smiling, Renee saw clearly


    that there was warmth in his eyes and there was no sarcasm in his smile, and when he nced at


    herself, he would be a little impatient and would even ignore her.


    Did Vincent like Le? Renee was confused! What about him and Pippa?


    Le lowered her head, eating silently, didn’t even know that Vincent was gazing at her. When he


    looked at her lost in thought, his eyes turned deeper and darker.


    Then, she heard Vincent’s phone ringing.


    He nced at the phone and didn’t answer it, but stood up and walked towards the washroom.


    “Mr. White, don’t forget to pay the bill!” Renee didn’t forget to say. Looking at Vincent’s defeated look,


    Renee was greatly pleased for herself and Le in her heart. But she was worried again when looking


    at the way they were getting along.


    Vincent had the urge to p Renee to death on the spot!


    Le lost her appetite when she saw Vincent go to the bar to pay the bill, pick up Pippa from the


    washroom, bring her out of HH Restaurant and finally get into his Bugatti with Pippa sitting in the


    passenger seat.


    Renee apologized to Le when they walked out of the HH Restaurant. “Did I cross the line, Le? I


    don’t expect he would bring that woman away!”


    “It’s alright! It has nothing to do with you!” Le shook her head. “Let’s go shopping!”


    “Hum! That’s fine. Let’s go shopping!” Renee smiled, “I’ll let Callum go back first and just both of us go


    shopping together!”


    Callum was driven back by Renee in the end and both of them held their arms and walked down the


    street together.


    Le was unsure where her heart had gone to.


    The duo shopped until nine o’clock at night without buying anything before Le took the bus back and


    Renee went back too.


    Upon reaching the downstairs of the Pearl Community, Le looked up and saw Bugatti was right in


    front of the doorway of the building. He was here! However, she went straight into the building as she


    didn’t want to see him and just pretended not to see the Bugatti.


    “Stop there!” A low voice that seemed to have mixed with anger rang out behind her.


    Le was dumbfounded on the spot for several seconds before she turned around, looking at a tall man


    with a cigarette in his hand. She just stared at him dumbfoundedly and her eyes were full of


    indifference.


    Vincent frowned impatiently when seeing her look like this and asked in a deep voice, “Why did you


    change the lock?”


    His cold male voice pierced her eardrum and echoed but Le only gently pulled up the corner of her


    lips and asked, “Does it have anything to do with you? This house belongs to my mother!”


    Her absentminded eyes met his handsome face and when she saw his expression changed with those


    words, she smiled softly again, “I’m sorry. I’m a bit tired. Bye!”


    She flew upstairs in big strides, leaving him behind. She was panting heavily for running too fast when


    she reached the doorway. Upon seeing him catching up from behind, she immediately opened the door


    panickily and entered, shutting Vincent out after she closed the door swiftly.


    Looking at the closed door, Vincent frowned as she had locked him out!


    Was it to revenge him for shutting her outst night? That was why she changed the lock? That would


    be fine if she was simply sulking at him, but what if she didn’t want to have any contact with him from


    now on, he… the cigarette was still held between the fingers of his left hand. He then took a deep


    breath and knocked on the door.


    But there was nothing happening inside and she obviously would not open the door!


    Le listened to the knocking and smiled bitterly. What did he mean? He had left her and her friends


    with Pippa and now he remembered her and came back for her. She had her own thought and dignity


    and she was not someone who just came and went as he called.


    The phone rang, and Le saw it was him calling.


    She went silent for a while before she picked up the phone and said without listening to what he said,


    “Go back! I need to prepare my thesis and we’d better not meet for the next few days!”


    “Open the door!” He interrupted her.


    “I won’t!” Her tone was cold and firm.


    “Le!” Vincent called her name in a deep voice. “Open the door!”


    “No way!”


    “I’ll wait for you here all night if you don’t open!”


    “It is up to you!” Le shuddered and her tone was resolute, “I don’t care, I won’t open the door, it is all


    up to you to stay at the door if you want!”


    “Le, can you stop it? Don’t be childish!” His tone lowered and sounded tired which ached her heart


    when she heard it.


    “I’m not being childish!” Le argued as she just wanted to maintain her dignity that she had left even


    though she had known she didn’t have much dignity but it didn’t mean that she wasn’t in her stance.


    “I’m tired!”


    Hanging up the phone with a bang, she then put it on the table and went into the bathroom.


    The phone rang again but the sound of the rushing water covered the sound of the phone as Le


    turned on the tap and let the water run. Meanwhile, she removed her clothes and submerged herself in


    the warm water to relieve the tiredness of her body.


    Outside the door, Vincent knocked on the door and dialed the phone but she didn’t answer it.


    He knew that she would not open the door tonight!


    He turned around and went downstairs.


    Half an hourter, Le put on her bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom. The room was quiet and


    the phone was not ringing. Le was inexplicably lost in her heart, had he left?


    Her feelings were conflicted. She went to the sofa, sat down and turned on the TV, kept pressing the


    remote control in her hand but she couldn’t find a single programme to watch out of the dozens of TV


    channels. Finally, she turned off the TV, got herself up and went into the bedroom.


    The lights went out!


    Vincent who was sitting in the car was sad as his heart sank when he saw the lights upstairs going out.


    In the morning when Le woke up, she pulled open the curtain and her eyes advertently looked


    downstairs. Her eyes were slightly stunned as the Bugatti was not there, she then turned around and


    went into the kitchen.


    She was cutting a small cucumber as she wanted to make herself a bowl of cucumber egg soup for


    breakfast. Inadvertently, she was bleeding profusely as the knife slipped and identally cut her hand.


    She lowered her eyes and sighed secretly, ‘Le, what was wrong with you? How could you be so


    unconcentrated when you were about to debate?’


    Turning on the tap, the running water washed away the blood until it no longer bled before she got up


    and found herself a band aid to put on. She then continued cooking her soup, eating it quietly before


    changing her clothes and preparing to go out.


    There were three missed calls on the phone screen and all were from him calling!


    He had made three missed callsst night. Perhaps three was his limit. He repeated and repeated but


    would not do it more than three times.


    In the P University.


    Le had just reached the teaching block when a low voice came from behind her, “Le!”


    She turned around and met Theodore and he was looking at her with a smile on his face yet, there was


    a faint trace of sorrowfulness locked in his eyebrows that he had no way to release them. Le sighed


    secretly inside, there was nothing wrong with Theodore to be fond of her but the fault was that she


    didn’t like him and they were just not the right persons for each other.


    Looking at him with a smile on her thin face, she then nodded her head. “Good morning, Mr. Hall!”


    “Le, you look so pretty when you smile!” Theodore didn’t expect to see that sh of smile on Le’s


    face as he almost thought Le wouldn’t smile at him anymore. Realizing what he had said, he turned


    embarrassed and exined eagerly, “I mean I haven’t seen you smile for a long time!”


    Le turned even more guilty when she looked at Theodore who suddenly became awkward. He must


    have liked her deeply but she didn’t like him! Perhaps this was life. The person you loved may not love


    you, but those you didn’t love would love you instead!
