The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1201

Nathaniel took a look at his phone and found out that Noah was calling him. He thought Noah called because of the venom in his body, so he swiped the answer button without much thought. "What? Are you planning to use me as your experiment subject because you want to study the composition of the venom?"

On the other hand, Noah was stunned when he heard Nathaniel's joking tone.

After all, Nathaniel had sounded so different when Noah had called him previously. In fact, Nathaniel had been a little insane, and he sounded as if he wanted to kill someone. So, how could he be this calm

now?

Who was the one who had calmed him down?

Was it Mango?

Noah didn't know the truth, but he could make a guess easily. So, he whispered after knowing that Nathaniel was in a relaxed mood, "Aren't you going on a trip?"

"Yeah, do you want to join us?"

Nathaniel knew that Noah would not call him just for some idle chit-chat, so his expression gradually tensed up. As he looked at Mango and their children beside him, he knew that he couldn't take the call elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Noah was stunned.

Just a few moments ago, Nathaniel said that he wanted to take his family out for a trip without any outsiders disturbing them. However, he asked this question now, so it meant that his wife and children were by his side.

Noah understood Nathaniel well as they had been working together for so many years, so he whispered, "Hurry up and leave if you want to, or else you won't be able to leave later on."

Then, Nathaniel frowned after hearing what Noah had said.

Why couldn't they leave?

What did that mean?

Hah! Who would have the guts to stop him from leaving?

Then, Nathaniel looked around, and his golden eyes squinted as he did not see Brantley.

"Where's Brantley?"

Nathaniel asked casually.

Mango was slightly stunned as she replied, "He just went out with Toby. Well, I asked him about Longford County, and I told him that Bettany was from that village."

Mango did not hide the truth from Nathaniel.

At that moment, Nathaniel came to a realization.

Perhaps Brantley might have gone to meet the military higher-ups!

Therefore, Noah must have received some news, and he decided to warn Nathaniel about this. So, Nathaniel immediately said to him, "Got it. You don't have to see us off. Just take good care of your wife and treat me to a feast after she gives birth."

"Alright, hurry up and leave."

Then, Noah hung up the phone.

On the other hand, Nathaniel pondered for a moment.

Now that Morgan was under investigation, would he be interrogated because of Longford County's past as well?

Well, everything would go out of Nathaniel's control if the police started the investigation meticulously.

At that instant, Nathaniel decided that he wanted to break the rules for the first time in his life.

Besides, Noah had called him at this time. Hence, Noah obviously wanted Nathaniel to leave so that the police couldn't investigate him.

In fact, there was something fishy about this. If Noah had called Nathaniel to tell him about this, it meant that this incident was getting troublesome.

After that, Nathaniel glanced at his wife and children before the corners of his lips raised. An evil grin appeared on his face, and he looked like a devil that had come out of hell.

Thus, Mango was shocked.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

She held Nathaniel's hand tightly as she was afraid that he would be unable to recognize his family, just like how he did when he had just woken up.

However, Nathaniel said with a smile, "I'm fine, let's go."

"We haven't decided where to go yet..."

"We'll go wherever we want."

Nathaniel said nonchalantly, and it was very different from what he had done before. Previously, he always made plans beforehand.

At that moment, Rita frowned slightly and whispered, "Daddy, I want to visit Longford County."

"Hey! Rita."

Mango exclaimed as she didn't care about what agreement Rita and Bjorn had made. Also, it was clearly not a wise choice to go to Longford County right now.

Suddenly, Rita felt a little sad as Mango had never addressed her in such a serious manner before. However, she insisted on saying, "I want to go there and take a look!"

At that moment, Nathaniel bent down and picked up Rita as he saw the dispute between her and Mango. Then, he smiled and said, "Well go there for sure, but we'll visit other places first. Rita, don't worry as it won't delay your business."

Rita looked at Nathaniel with shock when she heard what Nathaniel had said. Then, she said with embarrassment as she could that he knew her intentions just from his gaze, "Daddy, I..."

"I believe that you thought this matter over well before you decided to take action. However, Rita, you shouldn't hurt your family, even though you want to help your friend, do you understand?" "I wasn't..."

Rita was a little frightened when she heard this.

Nathaniel knew that there were some things that Rita could not understand, nor could he explain to her clearly. So, he just smiled as he touched her nose and said, "Listen to me, okay?" "Alright."

Rita really trusted Nathaniel for some reason.

"Zion, Wisdom, take our stuff, and well leave."

Nathaniel instructed his two sons before he turned around and grabbed Mango's hand without letting go of Rita.

At that instant, the corner of Zion's mouth twitched in annoyance.

Urgh! How could Nathaniel act this way?

He was a grown man, yet he didn't take any of their bags. Instead, he had asked his two children to grab them!

He was so shameless!

Then, Nathaniel chuckled as if he noticed Zion's contemptuous gaze and said, "Are you stupid? Can't you ask the servants to take them?"

At that instant, Zion admitted that he had lost.

Meanwhile, Wisdom pursed his lips and smiled.

Suddenly, he felt that the atmosphere surround his family was lively again, just like how it used to be previously.

Everything was great!

Later, the servants moved their belongings into the car under Zion's orders.

Then, Nathaniel called Ned after he got in the car with his wife and children.

"You're in charge of HG Group and Ocean City for

now."

"Mr. Ye, are you not taking me with you?"

Ned was a little sad as he thought that Nathaniel would take him with them.

"Nah, you'll be staying here."

Nathaniel's tone did not change, but somehow Ned could feel the seriousness in his voice.

"Alright, Mr. Ye."

After Nathaniel hung up, Mango felt that something wasn't right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Later, the car was speeding on the road, but they were not heading for the airport.

"Aren't we going to the airport?"

Mango looked at the scenery outside in astonishment.

Then, Nathaniel said with a faint smile, "Don't you think that we're missing someone for the new years?"

"Huh? Who are you talking about?"

"Rainie!"

At that moment, Mango was stunned to hear what Nathaniel had said.

She did not know how Rainie was involved in this, and her surprised expression amused Nathaniel.

He flicked Mango's nose with his finger and said with a smile, "We'll go pick up Rainie and Thoma, and they'll be travelling with us."

"What?"

Mango was completely dumbfounded to hear this.

She called Rainie before the New Year to ask whether the latter would be coming home. However, Rainie did not give her a clear answer at that time. Later, she wished Mango 'Happy New Year' via text and said that she could not come back as she was busy. Furthermore, she also told Mango not to worry about her.

Now, Nathaniel said that he would pick up Rainie and Thomas! Wait, did that mean that they had returned? "When did you plan this? Rainie didn't tell me about it... Urgh! I thought we were best friends!" Mango was slightly sad at this thought.

However, Nathaniel said softly, "They just came back this morning, but I guess they have settled everything."

"What?"

Mango felt that she had been confused all day long. Why could she not understand Nathaniel's words?

At that moment, Nathaniel's smile became even gentler as he was amused by Mango's current expression.

"Rainie and Thomas went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate this morning. So, we should be able to attend their wedding ceremony if we can make it in time."

"I'm down for that!"

Suddenly, Mango stood up as she forgot that she was in the car. However, she hit her head and gritted her teeth as she was in extreme pain.

Argh! Even Rita could feel her pain.

She quickly jumped out of Nathaniel's embrace, so that Nathaniel could hug her mother instead.

Meanwhile, Zion opened his arms in response, and Rita immediately leaned over.

At that moment, Nathaniel raised his eyebrows.

His daughter was no longer jealous of her mother. Instead, she would allow Nathaniel to hug Mango any time.

Well, it seemed that it had been a good idea to let Rita spend a few days at the Eaves family's house after all. In the future, he would let his daughter spend more time outside when she was free. Nathaniel thought about this in his mind as he stretched out his hand and pulled Mango into his

embrace.

"Why are you so excited? It's not like you're the one getting married. Haha! You're so childish. Is it painful?"

"It hurts..."

Mango's eyes were filled with tears and she felt as though she had a concussion. However, she was also really shocked deep down.

"Ugh...Rainie... Why did she not tell me that she's getting her marriage certificate?"

Mango muttered a little gloomily.

Then, Nathaniel shifted his gaze as he dared not tell Mango that he was the one who requested Thomas to do it.

Well, he didn't request Thomas to do so. In fact, he only asked Thomas what the latter thought about Rainie.

Then, Thomas said that he was indeed planning to get their marriage certificate. So, Nathaniel suggested that they could get it as soon as they return instead of choosing another day. In this way, they could travel together, and it would be really fun.

Later, Thomas asked for Rainie's opinion. She was really excited when she heard that she could go on a trip with Mango, so they decided to get their marriage certificate today.

Soon, they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau. After that, Mango saw Thomas holding Rainie's hand as both of them walked towards them before she got off the car.

Mango almost couldn't recognize Rainie as she hadn't seen Rainie for really a long time.

Rainie seemed to be in a pleasant mood as she was blushing. In fact, Mango was so envious of her as Rainie was shining like a diamond.

When Mango got off the car, Rainie immediately gave her a hug.

"Congratulate me, my dear friend!"

"Screw you! You didn't even tell me that you were getting your marriage certificate... Hah! Yet you want me to congratulate you now? I'm not so kind..."

Mango punched Rainie angrily, but she was really happy for her deep down.

"Why did you think of getting the marriage certificate today? The Civil Affairs Bureau probably isn't open yet, is it?"

After hearing what Mango had said, Rainie glanced at Nathaniel thoughtfully before she said, "Well, it's all because of someone's influence..."

At that moment, Mango understood that Nathaniel was the one who had planned this.

She glanced at Nathaniel gratefully and saw him nodding before he went to talk to Thomas. Then, Mango pulled Rainie to the side and whispered, "Did you get any news about Denver?"

Rainie nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, my brother is recovering very well, and he can even walk now but not too long. The doctor said that there's hope as long as he undergoes the rehabilitation process. Also, his career is developing well overseas, so he won't return for the time being. Anyway, he told you not to worry about him."

"That's great..."

Mango heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

She had always felt heartbroken deep down as she had caused trouble to Rainie and Denver. Now that she heard that Denver was fine and was working hard to develop his business, she felt less guilty. Meanwhile, Thomas saw the two of them conversing cheerfully with a trace of happiness in their eyes. However, he suddenly heard Nathaniel's deep voice in his ear.

"Did you prepare everything I told you to?"

"Yeah, I did. But Mr. Ye, do you really want to do this?"
