The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1167

In the end, Walter and Deborah had to open the locks all night long. It was already dawn when they were done with the last of those locks.

Meanwhile, Walter felt that that night was too torturing! He could only watch as his beloved wife walked around him, and the fragrance of her body stimulated him as well. He was exhilarated, but there was nothing he could do about it. That was the worst feeling ever!

Meanwhile, it was midnight when Nathaniel picked Mango up from the bed.

Mango was still sleepy, so she did not want to open her eyes. She simply wrapped her arm around his neck and asked in confusion, "Where are you bringing me?"

"Hush, just keep sleeping. I won't hurt you."

Nathaniel said affectionately as he smiled.

Mango agreed when she heard his words. So, she let him hold her and fell asleep again.

Nathaniel carried Mango out of the bedroom in his arms. After that, he found a coat and draped it over her shoulder before leaving the house with her quietly. Meanwhile, Ned was waiting for them outside. When he saw them coming, he quickly went forward and opened the car door.

"Mr. Ye, everything is in place."

"Let's go then."

Nathaniel nodded in reply.

After hearing that, Ned started the engine.

On the other hand, Walter jolted awake when he heard the sound of engine.

"Who is heading out so late at night?"

Meanwhile, Deborah was a little depressed as she had to open all the locks, so she said crazily, "Who cares? Our mission today is to open the locks! Urgh!"

She was going nuts right now!

This was supposed to be her wedding night. How did she end up becoming a locksmith?

Therefore, Walter helped her as well as he scolded Nathaniel secretly.

Suddenly, Nathaniel felt an itch in his ears. He knew that Walter and his wife were cursing him, but he did not care. After all, they were the ones that had bullied his wife during his absence! Ned drove the call all the way to the airport. A private plane was already on standby there.

After that, Ned parked the car and opened the door. Then, he whispered to Nathaniel, "Mr. Ye, do you really not want us to tag along?"

"There's no need for that. Take good care of the house, and try your best to stop the infiltration of Bernard's men."

Nathaniel looked a little solemn as he gave out his orders.

"Yes, sir. When will you be back?"

"At twelve midnight."

After saying that, Nathaniel got out of the car with Mango in his arms before he boarded the plane.

The plane flew for a few hours before it finally arrived at Creekside Cottage.

It was almost daybreak as well.

Hence, Nathaniel carried Mango into the room carefully.

When Mango woke up, she heard the sound of waves crashing along the shore.

Therefore, she was a little baffled. After she opened her eyes, she saw the room that was vaguely familiar to her, yet it seemed unfamiliar at the same time. Hence, she was confused as to where she was right

now.

After that, Mango lifted her blanket and got up. The sound of the waves bombarded her ears, so she couldn't help but open the window.

A refreshing sea breeze blew from the vast ocean into her face, and she felt relaxed and comfortable.

Was this Creekside Cottage?

She couldn't help be reminded of the small island that Nathaniel had given her as a gift.

Wait! Were they actually here?

At this thought, Mango couldn't help but feel cheerful.

Then only did she realize that Nathaniel was not in the room.

Where did he go off to so early in the morning?

Then, Mango put on her shoes and walked out of the door.

However, she froze as soon as she went outside.

Splendid decorations were everywhere outside the room. There were fresh flowers arranged into flower baskets, and there were also flowers all along the arch as well.

After that, Nathaniel came inside wearing a white tuxedo.

He held a bunch of roses in his hand as he looked affectionately at Mango. He said, "My dear Mango, it's our wedding today. It's a wedding that belongs to only the two of us, so are you sure you want to stare at me like this? The priest will be here soon."

When Mango saw this, she started tearing up immediately.

Was this a wedding that was only for the both of them?

She had always thought Nathaniel would choose to hold a grand event to celebrate their wedding, just like what Walter had done. She even worried about it for a long time. What if their wedding attracted Bernard's attention, and they couldn't carry it out smoothly? Now when she heard Nathaniel said that this was a wedding for both of them, she understood what was going on immediately. This was Nathaniel's wedding gift for her!

There were no guests and no outsiders. It was just the two of them and the priest.

This was a simple yet meaningful wedding. Most importantly, there was no one here to disturb them, so they were free to do anything they wanted.

Mango smiled as tears sparkled in her eyes.

"Silly girl, it's a happy occasion today. Why are you crying? Don't you like this?"

"No! I love it!"

Mango ran straight into his arms as she

exclaimed.

He smelled of the sea breeze. There was even a trace of coldness on his body, but Mango felt touched and warm somehow.

This man was so considerate towards her. So, what else could she ask for?

"Where is my gown?"

"It's in the cupboard."

Nathaniel led Mango into the bedroom after saying this.

Mango opened the cabinet, and she saw a pretty wedding dress. It looked like a mermaid dress, but the designer had made some improvisations on it. There were also some sparkling diamonds on the dress, and Mango loved it very much.

"When did you prepare this?"

"I already prepared it a long time ago. Also, I made the dress myself."

Mango was slightly stunned to hear what he had said.

"You made this? Wait, do you know how to make wedding dresses?"

"Well, I learned it by myself. I will learn anything for you."

As Nathaniel said this, he hugged Mango from behind. At this moment, their hearts were at peace.

Mango was really touched after hearing this. Then, she put on the wedding dress with Nathaniel's help.

The wedding dress hugged her curves very well indeed.

Therefore, Nathaniel couldn't help but stare at her passionately.

He asked her to sit down as he began to put on makeup for her.

On the other hand, Mango never knew that Nathaniel knew how to apply makeup. It seemed that he had made a lot of preparations for today's wedding.

"Did you learn how to do makeup too?"

"Well, it's our wedding today, so I am your groom, your makeup artist, your stylist, and everyone else."

Nathaniel whispered as he used his long fingers to draw Mango's eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil.

Suddenly, Mango remembered an ancient saying.

If a man could draw a woman's eyebrows for her, it meant that he would love her and protect her for the rest of his life.

Was that what Nathaniel was trying to tell her?

At this thought, she looked at the side of

Nathaniel's face. He looked solemn, and she felt fulfilled all of a sudden.

Who said that Nathaniel was not a hopeless romantic?

He could do romantic things for her if he wanted to!

Soon, Mango looked at her own face that became beautiful and delicate under Nathaniel's makeup. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Looks like you've really worked hard to learn makeup. However, I'm baffled. When did you learn it since you're so busy every day?"

"I learnt when you were asleep."

Nathaniel answered her tenderly.

Mango was surprised for a moment to hear his answer. Then, a smile blossomed on her face.

"Tell me, did you make me look ugly when you first started?"

Nathaniel smiled instantly in reply.

"Well, I swear that I always washed the makeup away after I applied it on you."

"Haha! Did you keep any photos?"

Nathaniel was slightly taken aback by her words before he slowly answered, "Yes."

He passed his phone to Mango as he spoke.

Then, Mango found a photo album with her name and opened it on the spot.

The album consisted of all her photos, but she looked ugly since Nathaniel had been practicing on her face while she was asleep.

Mango broke into laughter as she scrolled through the album.

She looked horrendous!

However, as the days passed, the photos got prettier. Therefore, his makeup skills looked better as well.

This hit a soft spot in her heart instantly.

If a man could go to such lengths for her, what else motivated him other than love?

Once Nathaniel was done putting on the makeup for Mango, he held her hand before saying affectionately, "My dear Mango, can we go now?"

"Are you proposing to me?"

"Of course, I am, but I think the proposal should be by the beach. What do you think?"

As she looked at Nathaniel's affectionate expression, she nodded.

Then, the two of them walked out of the villa while holding hands.

The waves outside the house crashed against the shore repeatedly.

Mango looked at the vast ocean and then at this island. It appeared that Nathaniel had decorated the entire island thoroughly so that it would fit her wedding theme.

Then, Nathaniel stood by the sea and looked at Mango. Suddenly, he went down on one knee.

"Mango Shen, will you marry me? Please be my wife because I'm Nathaniel, your beloved lover. From now on, I will pamper you like a princess, and you'll be the most precious person to me forever!" Mango's eyes started tearing up when she heard this.

As she looked at the flowers and rings in Nathaniel's hand, she nodded with a smile and said with tears in her eyes, "I will."

After that, Nathaniel put the ring on her before he kissed her finger.

Even if she had seen other people proposing to their beloved ones, she still felt even more shocked and blessed at her own proposal.

Therefore, she felt waves of happiness hitting her heart, and she could no longer suppress the euphoria that she felt.

"Nathaniel, dance with me!"

"My pleasure."

After saying that, Nathaniel held Mango's waist in his hands. There was no music around them, but they could hear the sound of the wind and the waves. However, the duo continued to dance in the wind. Both of them were like fairies who were dancing on the beach and in the sea.

Meanwhile, the priest watched as they danced happily. Although he had witnessed a lot of weddings, he was delighted when he saw how much they loved each other.

After finishing the dance, Nathaniel held Mango's hand as they walked up to the priest.

The priest asked them some questions and vows as usual. Then he finally announced that they would be husband and wife from now on. In fact, they would stay by each other's side and never leave each other ever again!

Then, Nathaniel grinned like a child as he said to Mango, "Hmm, isn't it time to go to the bedroom?"

Mango blushed all of a sudden after hearing his words.

"It's still daytime..."

"Well, I still think we can spend some time in the bedroom."

Nathaniel smiled and carried her inside in his arms after saying that.

Then, the two of them spent one whole day in Creekside Cottage. However, they spent most of their time in bed.

Mango's back was killing her right now! After they had made love passionately for a few rounds, she finally begged for mercy.

"Stop it! I really can't take it anymore. Besides, today is New Year's Eve. Will grandpa and the others be lonely if we are away?"

"We'll head back in a minute. Let's take a nap first."

Nathaniel hugged her tightly after saying that.

Mango was too exhausted, so she fell asleep listening to Nathaniel's steady heartbeat.

When she woke up again, the plane had already landed in Ocean City. Therefore, she woke up to the sound of firecrackers.

"Who is setting off those firecrackers?"

Mango yawned, and Nathaniel draped a coat over her instantly.

"It's New Year's Eve today, and it's almost 12 o'clock now. Everyone is busy counting down for the new year. This is the time we bid the past goodbye and welcome the future. Of course, there would be firecrackers." "Are we back already?"

Mango leaned against the window as she took a closer look. The sky outside was colourful indeed.

"Wow! It's breathtaking."

"Of course. Everyone here is celebrating our wedding."

Nathaniel said shamelessly. However, Mango did not retort, and she only gave a sweet smile to him.

Meanwhile, Ned was already waiting outside for them when they got off the plane.

"Welcome back, Mr. and Mrs. Ye."

Mango was a little embarrassed to hear this. However, when she raised her head suddenly, she spotted a familiar figure walking out from the airport.
