The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1047

"Let's go!"

Mango felt that it was unnecessary to stay there any longer.

The farce had already ended, and it was clear what the outcome was.

Nathaniel looked at her tired expression and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you going to save Gisella?"

Mango glared at him and said, "Do you really think that I'm a saint? Gisella wanted to kill me, so why would I save her? I've already sent her to the hospital to rescue, and I'll pay for her treatment, but I won't do anything else. I can only do so much, and I won't care about the other things. You can't expect me to donate my kidneys to her, can you? Besides, the wound on my back hasn't healed yet."

Nathaniel immediately smiled when she heard her words.

"I thought you were kind."

"Well, it depends on whether the person deserves my kindness. Besides, I can do nothing about this problem. Let's go."

Mango held onto his arm and was about to leave. However, Mrs. Shen stopped her.

"Mango, you see, it's all a misunderstanding. Gisella was the one who deceived your father and me, so don't hold grudges and hate us on it, okay? Since Nathan is a prominent figure of the Ocean City, and your father is already old, why not just release him from the prison? After all, he's still your father, right?"

Mango had never seen someone as shameless as her!

"Why didn't you remember about our maternal bond when you wanted to kill me a few days ago?"

Mango shook off Mrs. Shen and was ready to leave after saying that.

She didn't want to stay there any longer.

Nathaniel glance at the bodyguards and they immediately blocked the old couple.

After that, Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Mango's waist and said in a soft voice, "Don't be mad over that useless person. It's not worth it."

"I'm not angry. I... I feel tired and disappointed. Do you think that we should abandon our family members because they weren't biologically related to you? You see, Noah adopted Barney and viewed her as his own child, and he gave her unconditional love and attention. Why can't the Shen family think the same way? in fact, does bloodline even matter at all? Everything happens for a reason, and we can all get along happily since fate brought us together, right?"

"Everyone's different, so don't worry about it. Are you tired of watching the drama? Shall I take you out for a walk?"

Nathaniel noticed that she was in a bad mood and wanted to find a way to make her happy.

However, Mango said gloomily, "There's nowhere I want to go. I want to go visit my son in the military, can I?"

Nathaniel felt that she was deliberately making things difficult for him.

"We can't enter the military region now because I'm not part of it anymore."

"It's not like I can enter even if you work there. After all, I know the military rules."

Nathaniel was a little worried when he saw her reaction.

"Shall we go to the shooting club to play a few rounds then?"

Mango was immediately interested in his proposal.

"Shooting club? Does Ocean City have such a place?"

Back then, Zion was detained in one of the shooting clubs and almost had an accident. Since then, Nathaniel had completely shut down all the shooting clubs in Ocean City. Therefore, Mango was surprised to hear that they still existed.

Nathaniel said with a smile, "I know that you like it, so I kept one open. I acquired it, so the people working there are all my people. You can rest assured that nothing will happen."

Mango looked at Nathaniel. She was touched to know that he had done so much behind her back to make her happy. Thus, she immediately forgot about the displeasure she had felt. "Well, I'll do you a favour and go there then."

"Thank you, my dear wife. Let's go."

Nathaniel breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was in a good mood.

After the two of them got on the car, Mango suddenly asked, "Did you record what Bernard said?"

"Yes. Although I knew that there was something odd about Gisella's condition, I didn't expect Bernard to expose himself this quickly. Of course, I recorded it as an evidence." Nathaniel said with a smile.

After that, Mango stopped talking about that issue. After all, she wasn't concerned about what would happen to Gisella anymore.

After all, Gisella had already been punished because the Shen family had betrayed her.

Therefore, there were no more grudges between them now.

Soon, Mango and Nathaniel arrived at the shooting club.

The club was located in the suburbs. There was an open area with a good view, and they felt relaxed and happy when they saw this.

"Nice, the environment is amazing! I can't believe that you have a real shooting ground here!"

"Yes, I built it according to the shooting training ground in the military area."

Nathaniel explained proudly.

"Hehe. Look at you showing off here!"

Mango looked at him and said with a smile, "Let's have a competition?"

"Sure! I'm glad that my wife is looking so excited, so let's do this!"

Nathaniel was also eager to compete with Mango.

The two of them wore protective suits and went directly to the shooting site with guns.

Mango started first and scored nine points.

However, Nathaniel noticed that she looked somewhat upset. After some consideration, he fired the gun and scored an eight-pointer.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Aren't you a soldier? How could you be worse than an amateur like me?"

Mango gave him an upset look and teased him sarcastically.

Nathaniel put the gun aside and said calmly, "I haven't practiced it for a long time, so I'm not so familiar with it anymore."

"Really? Should we try one more round?"

"Let's do it now!"

The couple had a fierce competition after that.

They spent the whole afternoon in the shooting club, and Nathaniel kept scoring one mark lesser than Mango.

Mango obviously knew that he was doing it on purpose so that he could let her win.

She threw the gun away directly and sat on the resting area. Then, she sighed and said, "Didn't you say that it would be a fair game? What's wrong with you, Mr. Ye?" Nathaniel put down the gun and sat down beside her. Then, he held her hand and massaged it gently.

Mango felt relaxed and comfortable because of

his massage.

"Well, this isn't training. I'm spending my time with my wife, so she needs to have fun. After all, I have to make you happy, right?"

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you then, Mr. Ye."

Although Mango said so, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised up.

Of course, she loved it when her husband spoilt her!

She was just like any other woman.

"Do you still want to play?"

Nathaniel asked her with a trace of tenderness in his eyes.

"Nah, we should stop. It's boring if you let me win all the time. Didn't you cook some duck soup for me? Let's go home and drink the soup!"

Mango was a little tired now. However, she suddenly remembered the duck soup.

Nathaniel felt that she looked exactly like Rita, and both of them were gluttons. "Okay, let's go home."

Nathaniel held her hand and walked out of the shooting club.

When they walked out, they happened to meet Eugene and Emberly.

"Eh, you guys are here too?"

"Did both of you also come here to have fun?"

Mango glanced at Emberly, who was clearly looking unhappy.

"Well, I had no choice because someone insisted that they wanted to come here."

Mango laughed upon hearing Emberly's words.

After they got in the car, they saw Eugene dragging Emberly, who had an unwilling expression on her face, into the club.

"I'm really curious as to how they got together."

Nathaniel smiled and said, "They were forced to get married."

"What? Did Eugene force Emberly to marry him?"

"No, Emberly forced Eugene to marry her."

"Huh? How could that be?"

Mango was quite surprised to hear this, but Nathaniel didn't intend to tell her anything more.

Therefore, she stopped asking and decided to ask Emberly later on.

Since Eugene was forced to marry her, why didn't she treat him well? If that was the case, who would believe that she had forced the man to marry her?

When they returned home, Lucy informed them that Brantley had called them to tell them that Rita was spending the night at his place. Apparently, Bjorn had organised a foodie party and invited Rita over. When Mango heard this, she said gloomily, "Your daughter is such a glutton! I'm sure that someone will kidnap her by tricking her with food in the future!"

"No, Rita knows what to do."

On the other hand, Nathaniel was not worried at all.

Meanwhile, Lucy had prepared the food, so she served it to Nathaniel and Mango.

After Mango drank the duck soup, she was in a better mood.

After the meal, Nathaniel received news that Gisella had passed away. This had happened because the doctors couldn't save her in time as her kidneys were in such a critical state.

However, he was not surprised at all.

Meanwhile, Mango felt a little upset.

"Why? Are you reluctant to see her die?"

"No, I just think that life is too fragile and unpredictable. Nathaniel, you must really take care of yourself."

Mango hugged him tightly as she said this.

Her fragrant scent wafted into Nathaniel's nostrils and stirred up his desire for her. However, he couldn't make love to her now, and this made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Hence, Nathaniel took heavy breaths and pinned her against the sofa. Then, he started kissing her lips.

Mango responded enthusiastically to his kisses as well.

This was killing her!

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was feeling hot, and he felt as if his body was about to explode from desire.

However, he pushed Mango away and fled to the bathroom at the last minute.

Mango was stunned for a moment, and then she smiled a little arrogantly.

"Mr. Ye, what's wrong with you?"

She shouted and pretended to not know.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was desperate and nervous.

"Just you wait!"

"I'm waiting for you. Come on, I'm so lonely!"

Mango's seductive voice suddenly resounded from outside the bathroom, and he could barely hold on anymore.

She definitely was doing this on purpose!

Nathaniel sighed and turned on the showerhead.

The cold water poured on his body, but it could not extinguish the burning desire in his heart.

On the other hand, Mango stopped teasing him and directly picked up the computer to video call Clarissa.

"How's your investigation going?"

"I've got the evidence. Also, I plan to hold the press conference tomorrow morning."

Clarissa replied Mango with a confident expression on her face.

"I'll leave it to you then, and I won't be going."

Mango trusted Clarissa very much. After all, she was Nathaniel's subordinate.

Clarissa nodded and said after some hesitation, "Ms. Shen, this matter is more complicated than we think it is. I've found something else and I'll send it to you later. Be careful."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Mango was slightly stunned by Clarissa's words.

Suddenly, she recalled what Rainie had told her.

She said, "This sounds too much of a coincidence, right? How could this matter happen just after the actor signed a contract with your company?"

Now, Clarissa said the same thing as well. Was someone really scheming against her?

Mango couldn't understand this. Why was she always involved in these troublesome problems?

Now that she had finally settled the problems in the Ye family, she was ready to start over with a small business to raise her family. However, it seemed that someone else was trying to attack her.

Oh, well!

She would cross that bridge when she came to it.

"Okay, send it to me."

After Mango hung up the video call, Nathaniel soon returned.

He came out in a hurry, and he didn't even manage to dry his hair properly. Drops of water fell on his handsome face and soaked through his neck. Thus, Mango could see his seductive collarbones and his

strong chest.

She couldn't help but gulp nervously at this scene.

Good heavens!

She suddenly wanted to pounce on this man!
