The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1078

Did someone just hold her hostage?

What the f*ck!

Was he kidding?

Why was she so unlucky?

She was held hostage wherever she went!

Did the abductors really think that she was a pushover?

At that moment, Mango wanted to resist, but she heard the person behind her say, "You'd better not move if you don't want to die. I just want to borrow your speedboat to hide."

"I don't think that you're borrowing it considering your action, are you?"

Mango gave a cold snort.

Borrow?

What a nice way to put it.

Later, Nathaniel saw this scene when he got out of the boat.

"Don't move, or else I might do something to this beautiful lady..."

The man smiled evilly.

Then, Nathaniel frowned.

He would most likely win if he took action, but he was afraid that there might be a sniper around as the streets were really quiet.

The man before him had paint on his face, so Nathaniel could tell in an instant that he was a special forces soldier. He might be a mercenary who could kill people without batting an eye. Nevertheless, these people were obviously not aiming at Nathaniel and Mango, but they were just unlucky.

"What do you want to do? Let go of my wife and I can promise you anything."

At that moment, Nathaniel's eyes darkened a little.

The man nodded and said to Mango, "Please board the boat, beautiful lady."

At this point, Mango could only obey him.

She looked at Nathaniel a little gloomily and said, "Your birthday is ruined, isn't it?"

She spoke in their mother tongue.

Then, Nathaniel said with a smile, "We can make it up later."

"That's not a good idea! I heard that we can't postpone birthday celebrations as it'll bring us misfortune... Urgh, damn it!"

Mango got on the ship again.

However, the man raised his eyebrows.

"Which one of you is having a birthday today?"

He spoke fluently in their mother tongue too and it made Mango and Nathaniel stun for a moment, but none of them spoke.

Whoever was having a birthday was none of his business!

Soon, the two of them got into the speedboat. Suddenly, a dozen people came out from behind the man and boarded the boat with him.

Mango and Nathaniel frowned when they saw that they were all martial arts practitioners.

They were all wearing camouflages and it made it hard for others to see their faces clearly. However, their fierce and fiendish appearances showed how vulgar they were. After Mango boarded the ship, the man did not make things difficult for her. Instead, he let her go to Nathaniel's side.

"Are you alright?"

Nathaniel frowned as he looked at her.

Then, Mango shook her head.

She sat down beside Nathaniel.

Meanwhile, the man looked at them and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to a cake regardless of whose birthday it is today."

Then, he sent someone to buy a birthday cake.

Mango wanted to reject, but Nathaniel held her hand tightly.

She paused for a moment before she fell silent.

"Thank you."

Nathaniel said blandly before he kept quiet.

He and Mango sat at the side and they let the man observe them as he liked.

The man stared at them and frowned slightly.

Nathaniel's temperament was overwhelming and he still gave off an oppressive aura even though he was just sitting there in silence.

At that moment, the man's eyes sank a little.

Soon, his subordinate brought a birthday cake.

It was a mousse cake and it was usually Mango's favorite. However, she had no appetite at all now.

"It's so ugly."

Then, Mango's words made the man frown slightly.

"Did you hear her? The pretty lady said that it's ugly. Go and buy a beautiful one!"

The man seemed to be easy-going, but Nathaniel sensed how dangerous he was.

He was a dormant beast who seemed calm at the moment, but his wildness was written all over him.

Nathaniel held Mango's hand and said, "Are you cold?"

"Yea, a little..."

Mango nodded.

The ship was not as warm as their house. Besides, the temperature here was really low and it could be below zero degrees.

So, Nathaniel held Mango's hands against his mouth and started warming them up with his breath.

A happy smile appeared on Mango's face as she saw the white mist.

At that moment, they were looking into each other's eyes and it made the man frown.

"You're so in love with each other."

However, Mango and Nathaniel didn't bother to respond to him at all.

His eyes became slightly cold.

"I hate seeing others so in love with each other, so...what should I do? I actually wanted to celebrate your birthday at first."

The man's voice was pleasing to ears although no one could tell if he was good-looking.

Nevertheless, he had ruined the date between Nathaniel and Mango, so he was unforgivable in Mango's perspective even if he was handsome.

At this moment, it was obvious that the man in front of them wanted to attack them.

Just as Mango was about to make a move, the sound of a gunshot suddenly came out from outside.

The man's face changed in an instant.

"Start the boat!"

Immediately, he raised his hand and pointed the gun in his hand at Mango's head.

Mango really hated this feeling and she wanted nothing more than to beat these few people up.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's gaze darkened as a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.

He hated being threatened by others the most. What's more, this man in front of him was threatening Mango and that was simply unforgivable.

"You'd better put down your gun... I can give you the boat and let you take your people away."

Nathaniel's voice was cold.

However, the man sneered and said, "I can get the boat after killing you too." "Well, go to hell." After saying that, Nathaniel pushed Mango away before lifting his leg and kicking towards the man's wrist.

The people around Nathaniel saw that he took action, so they immediately charged toward him. They even shot at him without hesitation.

"No! Nathan!"

Mango's heart tightened at that instant.

Just then, their boat began to shake violently.

None of them were mentally prepared for it, so they lost the chance to fire their guns. At that moment, they were caught off guard and had to keep their balance.

At this moment, Nathaniel grabbed the man's wrist abruptly.

The man felt his arm go numb before his pistol fell off.

"Sir!"

The subordinates saw their captain being held hostage, so they wanted to attack Nathaniel, but they were afraid of misstriking their captain.

Just then, a few people surfaced from the water and Mango was so frightened that she wanted to hit them. However, she heard Nathaniel say, "They're with us."

Ah?"

Mango was slightly stunned.

Soon, five people climbed up the boat from the water.

"Sir."

The few of them addressed Nathaniel respectfully and Mango found it really unharmonious.

Sir?

It was as if they were a criminal gang.

Nevertheless, she was relieved knowing that it was Nathaniel's subordinates.

However, the man frowned as he didn't want to admit defeat.

"Who are you?"

Then, Nathaniel sneered and said, "I didn't even ask who you are, so why are you asking for my name?"

Suddenly, Mango stepped forward and kicked the man's belly.

The man snorted, "You..."

"What's wrong? I hate people pointing guns at me! You boarded our ship and even ordered me around... Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten my husband and me? I'm going to beat you to death!"

Mango was full of anger.

She could finally celebrate Nathaniel's birthday yet she encountered a lunatic who held her hostage. At that moment, she was incredibly depressed and angry.

So, she kept punching and kicking the man.

Nathaniel did not stop her, but the people around him had their mouths twitched.

Nathaniel's wife was really doughty...

The man wanted to fight back, but he did not dare to do so as there were numerous machine guns pointing at him and his subordinates.

Initially, he thought that it wouldn't be a big deal for Mango to hit him several times since she was a woman. However, he didn't expect her to be a martial arts practitioner. All of her punches were strong and the man could feel his organs bleeding.

"B*stard! I swear I will..."

"Shut up! You f*cking sh*t!"

Mango did not give him the chance to speak at all as she took a cloth and stuffed it into his mouth directly.

"Mmmm, you..."

The man was so angry as he glared fiercely at Mango.

Mango had to admit that his gaze was a little frightening, so she paused for a moment before she got even angrier.

"Who are you staring at? Well, I can see that your eyes are really big! Do you want me to dig your eyes out and use it as slingshot ammo?"

At that moment, rage pulsed through the man's veins and he almost fainted.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's people remained expressionless, but they frowned slightly.

They warned themselves deep down that they must never offend Nathaniel's wife in the future.

Soon, Mango finally vented all her anger after fighting for a while.

Nathaniel let her sit on his lap and said in a soft voice, "Why must you hit him yourself? Does it hurt?"

"It hurts... I haven't practiced martial arts for a long time, so my fists really hurt..."

At that moment, Mango became a young woman who felt wronged. She pouted and even waved her hand in front of Nathaniel.

"I'll massage your hands, alright?"

Then, Nathaniel massaged Mango's fists as he spoke.

On the other hand, the man was so angry that he was about to go crazy.

He beaten up physically and he also felt insulted as a single man!

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's subordinates quickly looked away.

They couldn't see their interactions anymore.

Since when did their cold and distant captain become his wife's slave?

However, Mango didn't care what they thought.

She felt very happy as Nathaniel treated her like his treasure at this moment.

"I want to eat cake."

"Okay, let's go out and eat."

Then, Nathaniel pulled her up before saying to his people, "I am in a really bad mood now. Throw them directly into the sea to feed the fish regardless of where these people come from and what they did."

Then, he pulled Mango and left after he finished speaking.

The man behind him let out muffled groans, but no one cared about him.

Now, Mango felt much better after beating him up.

She and Nathaniel went ashore and found that someone had cleaned up the mess, so she asked, "Who on earth are they?"

"Who cares? He's just an outsider to us."

At that moment, Nathaniel's words convinced Mango.

"Shall we have dinner?"

As Nathaniel spoke, a black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of them.

"Mr. Ye."

Then, Nathaniel nodded as he took the car key and whispered, "You can leave now. I will call you when necessary."

"All right."

Then, Nathaniel's subordinate waved his hand and the people behind him left in unison.

"Bang!" Mango saw with her own eyes that the evil man and his underlings were thrown into the sea.

However, Mango found that the man's glance at her a little familiar.

"Eh? The gaze of the man who held me hostage just now seems familiar, did you notice it? I think I have seen him somewhere before..."

Mango got into the car in confusion as she asked Nathaniel.

Then, Nathaniel started the car as he said nonchalantly, "Yea, he resembles Lebanon."

"Lebanon?"

Suddenly, Mango paused as Lebanon's appearance flashed across her mind.

Indeed!

They did look alike!

They had the exact same eyes!

"What happened? Is that man Lebanon?"

However, Mango's question left Nathaniel speechless.

His wife must be starving as she wasn't as quickwitted as before.
