The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Nathaniel frowned and said in a low voice, "Well, let's think about the problems that we're facing now. The mining task didn't go well.

Then he reported everything to Carlson. Although he knew that Morgan would report everything to the higher-ups, Carlson was his direct supervisor, so Nathaniel had to carry out his duty as well. Meanwhile, Carlson couldn't stay still anymore after hearing Nathaniel's report.

"I'll go talk to grandpa and see if he has any good ideas. Try your best to protect Barack. If you can't, send him back to Santell Capital. I'll send over a helicopter."

Carlson considered Barack's safety and decided to let Nathaniel put the mining task on hold.

Nathaniel had no objections either.

After hanging up, Nathaniel returned to his bedroom. On the other hand, Mango had also just finished a call too.

"Who called you?"

Nathaniel asked subconsciously.

After hearing his question, Mango replied softly, "Morgan. He said that the higher-ups had instructed us to stop the mining and wait until we find a suitable method. There are too many deaths right now. Thus, the higher-ups feel that we shouldn't waste the lives of the soldiers like this."

"Master Mo said the same thing. He may send a helicopter to pick up Barack so that the latter can go back to Santell Capital to recuperate too."

Well, Nathaniel knew how important Barack was to Mango, so he told her about it.

Mango was slightly stunned, but he also felt that this arrangement was better for Barack.

"What about my aunt? Did you tell him about her?"

Nathaniel nodded and said, "Master Mo will bring Magnolia back with him. After all, she is your grandfather's only daughter. He has worked hard and achieved great things for the nation, so they won't disappoint him."

However, Mango said with some concern, "Once Aunt Magnolia is sent back, and since we've also rescued Barack, Lebanon would be in great danger."

"Nah, I don't think so."

Nathaniel shook his head before saying, "If Laborn still wants to continue controlling Magnolia, he'll keep Lebanon alive. This way, he can obtain information and other things that he wanted from Magnolia. Afte all, he thinks that both of them have a good relationship. Thus, Laborn will consider doing this because she saw how Magnolia had cared about Lebanon previously."

Even after hearing his explanation, Mango was still very worried. Although she knew that Nathaniel was telling the truth, she still felt unsure.

"What about us then? What should we do? Shall we go back with them? If we go back now, will the investigation on both you and Morgan end?"

"Nah, I don't think it'll end that quickly. Master Mo already knows about Magnolia, but he is going to interrogate all the women of the Fang family. If the investigation has not ended, Morgan and I would need to act as decoys to deceive the enemy."

Nathaniel explained, and Mango was quite satisfied with the plan. After all, she had already experienced so much, so it didn't matter if she had to endure a few more days.

Suddenly, she frowned as if she were thinking about something.

On the other hand, Nathaniel stepped forward and took her into his arms. Then he said softly, "I know you are worried about Lebanon and Henry, right?"

"Yeah, you're right."

Mango did not hide the truth from Nathaniel.

After losing contact with Henry for such a long period, Mango was terrified. She was afraid that she couldn't protect Henry, and she was worried that Bernard would find out his location. Furthermore, she was frightened by the thought of Henry ending up as a corpse. Thus, Mango was in a bad mood when she thought about how all of this could happen.

After that, Nathaniel whispered, "If Master Mo doesn't arrange other tasks for me, I will take you to Angolla. At that time, we will take our revenge and turn their world upside down."

"Is that alright?"

Mango immediately raised her head, and her eyes shone with anticipation when she heard this suggestion.

Nathaniel smiled in reply and said, "Yes, if Laborn really dared to detain Aunt Mo, then I'm sure that it's time for him to pay the price by destroying his country!"

"Are you sure that the Union Nations won't look into this matter?"

"Nah, Angolla is just a small country, so the Union Nations wouldn't care about it."

Nathaniel wanted to destroy this group of ambitious people because of this.

On the other hand, Mango thought of everything his grandfather had endured, the tragic death of her parents, and how the king's family had tricked the Ye family. Thus, she couldn't help but say, "Well, that thought excites me indeed."

"You have to be patient. Don't worry, we'll receive some news about it soon."

Nathaniel comforted Mango.

After that, the two of them then hugged each other for a while. Suddenly, Mango's stomach growled, which immediately made her a little embarrassed.

"Um... I think I'm hungry."

She whispered with a red face.

Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly when he saw this.

"Yes, I heard it."

"Why don't you go get me something to eat then? Look at my aunt! She got up early in the morning to prepare food for Barack. Boohoo! Nathaniel, you don't love me anymore." Mango pretended to start crying immediately.

Nathaniel was speechless when he saw this. Then, she said, "Please, Magnolia was the one who woke up to cook for Barack."

"Hey, are you saying that I'm not a good wife?"

Mango raised her eyebrows as she questioned him, and Nathaniel immediately admitted defeat.

"No, no, that's not what I meant. It's my fault. I should be punished for making my wife hungry. Why don't I serve you well after breakfast later?"

Mango's face suddenly turned red to the back of her neck when she heard his teasing.

"Urgh! You're getting more perverted these days!"

As she spoke, she pushed Nathaniel away and tried to escape, but Nathaniel grabbed her and pulled her into his arms. He then kissed her passionately.

Suddenly, Mango felt a little frustrated. Why did he kiss her again?

However, instead of resisting him, she did her best to kiss him back.

Right now, Nathaniel wanted to press her down on the bed and take her a few times. However, when he thought of how hungry she was, he still gave up and let go of her. Then, he whispered, "Let me make some food for you first."

"Well, the kitchen should have prepared some food. Go get them then. I'm a little tired."

Recently, Mango had been feeling very tired, but she didn't know why.

Ob the other hand, Nathaniel was a little worried when he heard this.

"I'll get the doctor to come over later and take a look at you." "I'm fine. Don't make a fuss about it. My body may have not recovered well because of what happened last time, so I need time to recuperate slowly. However, I've been busy recently, so I haven't had much time to rest."

Mango knew her physical condition, so she hurriedly explained as she was afraid that Nathaniel would worry about her. However, she suddenly felt she shouldn't have explained this because Nathaniel looked more guilty after hearing her words.

"Alas! This is all my fault! I was negligent. After Wisdom returned, I forgot how weak you body was. I'll ask the doctor to take a look at you later and prescribe some medicine for you." Mango knew that if she refused again, Nathaniel would probably feel extremely guilty. Thus, she could only say in a low voice, "Alright, do whatever want then. I'll listen to you." "Good girl."

Nathaniel flicked Mango's nose with his finger while saying this before turning to leave the room.

Meanwhile, Mango felt sore all over her body. She leaned against the bed and wanted to rest for a while, but she didn't expect to fall asleep.

When Nathaniel came back, he saw Mango sleeping and couldn't help but worry even more.

He quietly walked to Mango's side and stretched out his hand to touch her forehead. Then, he only let out a sigh of relief when he made sure that she didn't have a fever.

At this moment, he didn't bother to wake Mango so that she could eat. Instead, he called the doctor over.

After that, the doctor did a quick check- up on Mango before saying, "Mr. Ye, your wife has weak stamina, and she's not used to the climate here. That's why she's tired and sleepy. I'll prescribe some medicine for her, and she should leave this place. After all, we can't change the climate here."

When Nathaniel heard that Mango was alright, he finally relaxed.

"Okay, got it."

After sending the doctor away, Nathaniel was still deciding whether to wake Mango up. However, Mango had opened her eyes because she was starving.

"What? Did I fall asleep?"

She was a little frustrated as she asked this.

However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "It's okay. You haven't slept for long." "I just felt a little tired just now."

Mango then sat up and stretched.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel put a pillow behind her and whispered, "Yesterday, you were too excited after saving Barack so that you couldn't sleep well. Now, you know that Barack is fine. Hence, you're exhausted because of what happened yesterday/"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's explanation, Mango thought that his words made sense. Therefore, she smiled foolishly and said, "Hehe! I'll take a nap after I finish my meal, okay?"

"Alright. I'll accompany you then."

Nathaniel had nothing to do, and there was no news from Master Mo. Hence, he decided to spend some time with his wife.

After hearing this, Mango was naturally happy. After all, as long as Nathaniel was by her side, she would feel relaxed.

Once Mango and Nathaniel had finished breakfast, they slept in their bedroom shamelessly. Meanwhile, the bodyguards outside were speechless for a moment, but they didn't dare to say anything.

On the other hand, Magnolia and Barack had been very quiet. No one knew what both of them had talked about. However, they were getting along peacefully as if nothing had happened.

Later, it was already noon after Mango and Nathaniel woke from their nap. Nathaniel looked at Mango's half- opened eyes and smiled while saying, "We took a nap after breakfast, and now it's already noon. So do you want to get lunch?"

Mango paused slightly and smiled, "Naha! I think that we've being so lazy right now!"

"Nah, you're the lazy one!"

Nathaniel pinched her nose and then opened the quilt to get out of bed.

Even after being married for so many years, Mango was still captivated by Nathaniel's figure.

Wasn't this man too good at taking care of himself?

When Nathaniel noticed Mango's burning gaze, he said somewhat gloomily, "If you keep looking at me like that, I will make love to you."

Meanwhile, Mango howled and pulled the blanket over herself. Then, she chuckled and said, "Naha! How could you do that to a patient?"

"Well, you're the patient! So why did you seduce me like that?"

Nathaniel looked aggrieved when he complained about this.

Mango felt terrible for him immediately after hearing what he had said.

"Um, should I sacrifice myself for you then?"

After hearing this, Nathaniel immediately grabbed a piece of clothing from the side and threw it on Mango's head. Without further ado, he went to the bathroom.

Now, Mango's vision had been blocked, but Nathaniel's scent filled her nose. These were his clothes!

Wait, something wasn't right.

What was the look in Nathaniel's eyes just now?

She had already said that she could sacrifice herself, so how could he refuse her this way?

However, Mango felt that she had seen the look on his face correctly.

Alas! She had been rejected by her husband!
