The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1200

Mango noticed the change in Nathaniel's gaze, so she immediately threw herself into his arms and whispered, "Oh dear, don't look at me like that. Urgh! I feel embarrassed."

Then, Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly, and his smiling gaze became gentler.

"Naha! You're so silly."

She was indeed silly.

Mango was gorgeous and intelligent, she would live a happier life if she fell in love with an ordinary man. However, she had fallen in love with Nathaniel. He was a man that had a bizarre identity and tons of issues to deal with. So, he truly appreciated Mango's love and loyalty toward him.

This wasn't the first time that Nathaniel had called her a silly girl.

Everyone had always felt that she was foolish as she had loved Nathaniel all this time. However, she could never have gone through all the hardships if Nathaniel had treated her badly.

Hence, Mango was not afraid of any challenges. The only thing that she truly feared was that Nathaniel's feelings for her would change.

Therefore, regardless of how many hardships awaited her, everything was not a big deal as long as Nathaniel was with her.

At the thought of this, Mango wrapped her hands tightly around Nathaniel's waist and whispered, "Nathan, we will stay happy forever, right?"

"Of course, we will!"

At that moment, Nathaniel could feel Mango's uneasiness.

Perhaps Mango was worried about his current health, or perhaps she was afraid of the truth about Longford County. However, Nathaniel would not let anything get in their way and separate them, no matter what.

He would rather not find out the truth about Longford County if it made Mango feel so uneasy. Anyhow, no one could force him if he didn't want to investigate it. After all, nothing could control him, including his past and the Golden Lancehead Venom.

At that instant, a trace of coldness flashed across Nathaniel's eyes.

Meanwhile, Mango smiled with satisfaction after getting an affirmative reply from Nathaniel.

After all, this was all she had wanted from Nathaniel.

Then, Nathaniel said softly, "Let's go to Bangsar

City then."

"Bangsar City? Where is that?"

Mango raised her head with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes as she asked this.

Then, Nathaniel's lips curled up slightly before he lifted Mango up and put her down on his thigh.

Mango wrapped her arms around his neck subconsciously, but she realized that they were in quite an inappropriate position.

So, she wanted to get off Nathaniel's body, but he stopped her.

"Don't move. If you tease me now, I don't think I can control myself."

At that instant, Mango's face turned red.

"I... I wasn't teasing you... but our position is quite inappropriate..."

However, her shy voice made Nathaniel happier.

"How is it inappropriate? I think it's fine."

"Come on, we are already an old couple... Hey! What if our children see us this way?"

"Mango, this is our bedroom, okay? Our kids aren't that stupid."

Mango's expression pleased Nathaniel greatly at the moment.

Many years had passed by, but her deep love for him had never changed. Also, every time he seduced her, she still had the same bashful expression as she was as shy as a mouse. Therefore, Nathaniel only wanted to tease her more.

At that moment, Mango's face was burning red in embarrassment.

"Uh... Still... the children are waiting for us downstairs..."

"Then, let them wait."

As soon as Nathaniel said that, he suddenly kissed Mango with his tongue aggressively. Hence, his unbridled actions and evil expression immediately swept Mango off her feet. Nevertheless, she wanted to push him away, but she couldn't do so. So, she could only let Nathaniel do whatever he wanted.

Thus, Nathaniel only let go of Mango when she was almost out of breath.

"Here. Take a deep breath."

Nathaniel said this with an amused expression on his face.

His wife was really...

However, he shook his head even though his desire was overwhelming him. If he really did it with Mango now, she could never face their children anymore in the future. Thus, Nathaniel tried his best to suppress his desire as he said hoarsely, "You can go down first, I'll take a shower."

"Well, it's not good for you to take a bath this early in the morning."

Now, Mango felt mentally uneasy at the thought of Nathaniel bathing alone, so she said it in reflex. However, she didn't know how much her words had affected Nathaniel. "Hmm? Are you trying to tell me to have my way with you?"

At that instant, Mango's face blushed with embarrassment when she heard this question.

"That's not what I meant.."

She jumped down from Nathaniel's lap shyly but affectionately as she said this.

After all, Nathaniel's desire for her had never changed, even though they had been married for so many years. He was like a teenager that couldn't control himself, but Mango felt that he was a sweetheart. However, this was really not a good time for them to have s*x right now.

Thus, Nathaniel saw her reaction and said, "You can go down first. I'll be fine, and I promise not to lock the door this time, so you can come in at any time you want."

When Nathaniel said this, Mango was embarrassed.

"That's not what I meant, I... Urgh, I won't talk to you anymore."

Mango stomped her foot and ran out after saying this, while Nathaniel chuckled behind her.

How could he not know what she truly meant?

He just wanted to tease her!

Later, Nathaniel stood up and went to the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Mango went downstairs, and her face was still a little red. Meanwhile, their children had already packed up their things and were sitting in the living room.

On the other hand, Brantley seemed to be deep in thought when he saw Mango.

"Mango, come to the study room. There's something I want to tell you."

When Mango heard Brantley's words, she paused for a moment before the coquettish thoughts she had in her mind disappeared.

"All right."

Mango nodded and followed Brantley into the study room after saying that.

Meanwhile, Brantley's brows were tightly furrowed, but no one knew what he was thinking. However, Mango did not urge him to say anything.

Just now, she had been a little frightened when she saw how Nathaniel was questioning Brantley. However, she had come back to her senses now. No matter what Nathaniel did, she would be their mediator. This way, nothing unpleasant would happen between the two people who were closest to her.

"Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Mango decided to speak first.

She knew that Brantley had doubts in his heart since Nathaniel had acted really differently. After all, Nathaniel didn't even address Brantley respectfully when he met him.

Then, Brantley paused for a moment as he looked at Mango with a conflicted gaze.

"Did something happen to Nathan? I think something is wrong with him..."

"It's nothing, he suffered from a nervous breakdown recently, and Bettany came to treat him. However, she might have told him something. Anyway, don't take it to heart as Nathan is really filial to you." Mango directly put the blame on Bettany instead.

She had no choice as she didn't have a good impression of Bettany.

Moreover, Bettany intended to kill Magnolia. Furthermore, Nathaniel had started acting this way because of all this for Longford County, right?

Even though had saved Nathaniel's indirectly, she had an ulterior motive. She had done

After all, this was all part of the scheme that the people from Longford County had made!

Therefore, Mango didn't want to acknowledge that Bettany had helped them.

Meanwhile, Brantley's eyes narrowed slightly after hearing Mango's words.

"Is Bettany from Longford County?"

Perhaps Brantley wasn't aware of this previously as he didn't think much about it. But now, he came to a shocking realization.

He was old, but he used to have a high status. So, he could figure many things out once he found a clue.

Then, Mango nodded without hiding anything from him.

She wouldn't mind if Brantley really wanted to teach Bettany a lesson. No matter what had happened to Longford County previously, Mango wouldn't give a d*mn about it as long as her family was happy.

In fact, she didn't care if she was selfish. After all, she didn't want Nathaniel to be involved with Longford County at all right now!

After all, someone had schemed Nathaniel his entire life because of Longford County. So, how could they take advantage of Nathaniel to take revenge now?

No matter how wronged those villagers felt, and how much they resented the soldier, they shouldn't take advantage of Nathaniel so easily!

After all, they didn't have the right to do so!

At that moment, Mango was enraged.

Meanwhile, Brantley's face sank a little as a hint of cautiousness flashed across his eyes.

"Why did the people from Longford County appear again? Didn't we annihilate them? How could there be survivors?"

Brantley sounded as if he was talking to himself, but he was also asking a question. Mango couldn't tell what he meant, so she said, "The housekeeper of Nathan's family, Nanny Zhang, is from Longford County. She's probably the one who caused all these troubles. Now, Bettany decided to create more trouble for us. Urgh! Grandpa, what's going on with Longford County?"

Mango didn't tell him that Nanny Zhang was Nathaniel's birth mother as this was a top-secret in the Ye family. Fortunately, Isla didn't spread the news. Now, Mango absolutely didn't want others to know that Nathaniel was part of Longford County.

After all, no one knew the truth regarding Longford County's extermination. Furthermore, Mango couldn't tell who Brantley would side with yet.

In fact, this was the first time that she had lied to Brantley, but she could only do so to protect Nathaniel.

Suddenly, Brantley raised his head as if he was shocked after figuring something out. However, he didn't say anything eventually before he waved his hand and signaled Mango to leave.

"Grandpa, are you all right?"

Mango looked at Brantley with concern before asking this.

Brantley probably knew the entire truth regarding the extermination of Longford County and not just bits and pieces of it.

Therefore, Mango felt upset for some reason when she thought about this.

"I'm fine. Be sure to stay safe when you travel with Nathan. I won't see you off then."

After that, Brantley asked Mango to leave. However, Brantley dressed up neatly and went out with Toby not long after. Meanwhile, Mango's brows furrowed slightly as she had an ominous feeling that something bad was about to happen. After all, she felt that their enemies would target where they were right now soon.

At that moment, Mango was eager to leave this place quickly. Furthermore, she wanted to run away as far as possible!

Soon, Nathaniel came down, and he saw Mango looking in the direction of the door thoughtfully. However, he didn't know what she was thinking.

"What's wrong?"

Nathaniel had just finished showering, so he smelt like the shower gel that he had used. However, this smell couldn't cover up the minty scent that his body was exuding as well.

He had this minty scent ever since he woke up. In fact, it was really mysterious although it might not be a bad thing.

"What's that scent on you?"

Then, Nathaniel was stunned when he heard this.

"Huh? What scent are you talking about? How do I smell?"

He raised his arm and sniffed himself as he said this, but he did not smell anything.

Then, Zion suddenly said, "It smells like gardenia, but it's not exactly the same. I can't describe it, but it smells good."

However, Nathaniel frowned slightly after hearing Zion's words.

Why couldn't he smell it?

Was it the fragrance of the Golden Lancehead Venom?

Why did he smell like gardenias?

Did the Golden Lancehead Venom have anything to do with gardenia?

Nathaniel was a little confused, but his phone suddenly rang before he could think it over.
