It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1446

"Umm... I really don't know about that." Leena bit her pink lip awkwardly. She had never asked Kevin about his salary, nor did she know how much money he had. As a matter of fact, she didn't care if Kevin was rich or poor, because she was never short of money.

"Silly girl, you must have never asked Kevin about this, right?" A smile cracked Daisy's lips as she asked. And she realized at that moment that she didn't know how much Edward was making a month either. 'He probably doesn't know it himself, ' thought Daisy. Just like Leena, Daisy didn't care how much money her husband made, because she was an independent woman herself.

"I don't need to know. I'm not a gold digger, you know," said Leena, pressed her lips into a tight line. As a financially independent woman of the new era, Leena focused on improving her own values, rather than her husband's financial situation. Moreover, she did not want to interfere with his work. After all, when it came to money, relationships became delicate, even between couples. As a child who grew up in a rich family, Leena had seen too many couples split up because of money.

When it was time to go to work, Kevin and Daisy went back to the office, and Mark had been assigned to go somewhere. Only Lee was left behind.

"Leena, are you going to fry ribs?" Lee asked, surprised that a rich lady like her could cook. He closely watched Leena's skillful movements.

"Yes. I'm going to make Pepper Salt Spareribs, but I haven't cooked in a long time. I don't really remember how it's done. I hope it comes out well," Leena laughed nervously and placed the spareribs into the heated oil pan slowly. She was wearing a pair of disposable gloves to protect her skin from any possible oil splashes.

"It's going to be better than my cooking anyway," Lee said modestly, without hiding his shortcomings. His cooking skills were highly questionable.

"By the way, who used to cook for Kevin when he was at the army base?" Leena asked curiously, because she didn't think he would go to the army base's cafeteria every single day.

"Well, Senior Colonel Ouyang used to cook for us when she and Justin were at the base. She was an exceptional cook. The Major General was mostly busy, but he still occasionally cooked for us. I cooked sometimes too. But when we were all busy, we would go to the cafeteria." An embarrassed smile appeared on Lee's face. He didn't want to tell Leena that Kevin went to the canteen because he thought Lee's cooking was worse than the canteen's.

"Daisy is really good at everything she does. She is graceful in the drawing room and skillful in the kitchen," Leena said. Leena had always admired Daisy. In her heart, Daisy was the perfect woman, with absolutely no faults to point at.

"So are you, Leena," said Lee. He wasn't trying to flatter her; he really thought she was an amazing person.

"Thank you," Leena said happily. She never deliberately showed modesty to other people's praise because she thought that being too modest was hypocritical.

Leena's arrival made the whole building abuzz. Everyone in the building had received gifts from her, so they were very enthusiastic about welcoming her. Leena had given them luxury goods as gifts. Most importantly, what she had given them was what they had wanted the most, so they were jubilant when they received them.

"Leena, these are very expensive gifts," Battalion Commander Xu's wife said tentatively. In fact, people there had been living a simple life and were not used to such luxuries. They were all flattered when they saw her gift.
