The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1219

A safe was usually used to keep valuable things.

Hence, if it didn't contain money, there had to be important documents or evidence in it.

Thus, there was a flash of excitement in Michael's eyes when he found the sage.

"Get someone to pry open the safe, I want to know what's inside."

After Michael gave his orders, his men came over and tried to open the safe.

It took about half an hour for them to open the safe. Once the safe was open, the gold bars inside it blinded their eye.

"What the hell? Beneon Zhang is quite rich! He actually had so many gold bars. Well, I guess he was quite smart to exchange his money for gold bars as the value would only increase.

Michael frowned slightly at what his subordinate had said.

There were about a dozen of gold bricks in front of him, which were all stacked together neatly.

Nowadays, not many people changed their dollars to gold bars and keep them at home. Thus, they didn't expect Beneon to do this.

Well, there were only two possibilities for him to do this.

First, this man liked gold bars a lot.

Second, it was not convenient for him to save this money.

However, in such an advanced era, if he wanted to save money, all he needed was an ID card and a mobile phone. Hence, why did Deneon have to change this cash for gold bars and put them at home? But now, the gold bars were still there, but he had run away. Obviously, Beneon had left in a hurry.

Then, Michael held his chin with his hand while he was lost in thought.

Why did Beneon do this?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.

Then, Michael looked up abruptly and said to his men, "Look up Beneon's ID card and his personal information. Starting from where he lived in Ocean City 20 years ago."

His subordinates were stunned when they heard this.

"Michael, are you suspecting that Beneon is just an alias that he's using?"

"If Beneon was his real name, why didn't he have an ID card and an account? It would also be easier for him to run away with money rather than gold, so why did he have to put them at home? That's because he doesn't have an ID card or a bank account. You try to look up the deaths that happened in Ocean City more than 20 years ago. Also, make sure to check everything here carefully. Take back anything you can find for inspection, such as his toothbrush, toothpaste, or whatnot. Then, try to extract the DNA and run it through the database so that we can identify his real identity."

Once Michael found something suspicious, he made sure to carry out everything as fast as possible.

Thus, Michael's subordinates went to carry out his orders immediately.

On the other hand, Walter had a sleepless night because he kept thinking about his body condition.

Thus, the only person who was not affected by this was Mango.

After that, Mango chatted excitedly with her friends for a while. Then, she noticed a slender finger grabbing onto her phone and taking it away.

"Hey! I haven't said goodbye to them yet."

Mango was a little upset when she saw this.

However, Nathaniel did not compromise at all and said, "It's late already, and it's time to sleep. Tomorrow we'll finish shooting at the Nove Dragon Pool and then go somewhere else."

When Mango thought about how tired she would be because there would be a lot of filming tomorrow, she decided not to argue with Nathaniel.

"Did you find a photo studio already?"

However, Nathaniel shook his head and replied, "Why do I need to find a studio? I have a photography team under me. I'll just have to make a phone call and let them shoot it for us tomorrow, so well feel more at ease in this way."

"That sounds good too."

Mango liked the idea very much.

However, Nathaniel leaned over suddenly and said with an evil smile, "Then, shouldn't you give me a reward?"

"Nathaniel, we agreed to rest for tonight."

Mango was once again lost for words when she heard this.

Urgh! Did her husband not run out of stamina?

When Nathaniel saw that his wife was so afraid, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I just want a kiss from my dear wife! Hmm, what were you thinking?"

Mango's immediately blushed when she saw this.

Urgh! This man was super annoying!

He definitely did this on purpose!

On the other hand, Mango was pouting, so she looked extremely cute to Nathaniel right now. Thus, he bent down to kiss her, but she pushed him away instead.

"Hey! I'm sleeping, so don't disturb me."

She said fiercely and turned over.

"All right."

Nathaniel nodded with a smile and replied.

At first, Mango had turned over because she was mad at Nathaniel. However, the bed was too comfortable, and the temperature was a little warm too, so her eyelids started to close slowly. In the end, she fell asleep.

While she was sleeping, she dreamt that Nathaniel was holding her hand, and they were under the starry sky. Nine dragons were flying with them too, and it was a spectacular scene.

Thus, Mango started smiling in her sleep because of the dream.

This was the first time Nathaniel had seen Mango so happy. Even though she was asleep, she still looked satisfied.

Thus, he always wanted Mango to feel this way.

At this thought, the corners of his lips lifted slightly into a smile. He then stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. Soon, he fell asleep in her comforting scent. When Mango woke up the next morning, Nathaniel was no longer by her side.

However, Mango didn't want to get up as the warm bed was too comfortable.

She struggled for a while, and she finally got up when she heard Rita's laughter coming from outside. After putting on her clothes, she opened the door and went out.

When did a swing appear here?

Meanwhile, Rita sat on the swing while Nathaniel was pushing her slowly from behind. Her giggle filled the whole area, and it brightened Mango's mood somehow, so a happy smile appeared on her face. "Good morning, mommy!"

Rita had become more cheerful recently.

She waved her hand at Mango and greeted her.

"Good morning."

Mango responded with a bright smile, and she saw Nathaniel's gentle eyes looking towards her.

"Good morning, honey."

"Good morning, darling."

The way Mango said "darling" was so sweet, so Nathaniel almost melted when he heard that.

Suddenly, Rita noticed the change in the atmosphere around her. Then, she quickly said, "I'm going to see if my brothers have come back from their swim."

After that, she jumped off the swing and ran out.

The little girl who used to always stick to Nathaniel's side had finally grown up, and she knew to leave some space for her parents.

Alas! Being a child was so hard!

Rita pouted secretly and ran out.

After that, Mango's face turned red as a tomato.

"I'm going to follow Rita so I can take care of her."

Mango was about to leave as well, but Nathaniel pulled her into his embrace.

"Why are you hiding from me? Are you worried that I will eat you up?"

Mango's face turned even redder when she heard this.

"Hey! You've eaten me up so many times, alright?"

She muttered in a low voice, but Nathaniel still heard it.

Thus, Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh.

"You're too cute, so I always want to eat you up." "Urgh! Nathaniel Ye!"

It was only the morning, so Mango felt a little speechless since her husband never stopped flirting with her.

Suddenly, Mango heard a clicking sound. She looked up abruptly and saw the photographer in front of her, but she had no idea when the person had come in. Thus, the photographer just happened to capture the scene of Mango glaring at Nathaniel with a red face.

"Nathan, why didn't you tell me about this in advance? No, you have to retake it again."

Mango wanted to go over to delete the photo that had just been taken, but then Nathaniel spoke, "Well, we're doing a travel shoot, so we should take photos that are natural. Who cares what the photos look like as long as you look genuine in them? Aren't they all our memories?"

After hearing what Nathaniel had said, Mango agreed with him too.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

"Good! Give me a reward then."

Nathaniel stared at Mango fondly as he said this, and then he bowed down and gave her a deep kiss.

Meanwhile, the photographer quickly clicked the shutter to capture these photos.

The couple looked so deeply in love with each other with all their gestures, so the photographer never stopped taking photos of them.

Slowly, Mango didn't feel embarrassed and uneasy with Nathaniel by her side. After a while, they walked out hand in hand.

After passing through the waterfall, Mango took a few more photos there and even recorded a video. She had originally wanted to post it on her Instagram, but after thinking about it, she decided not to post it. After playing around the waterfall for a while, Mango asked the children to change into a new set of clothes before following Nathaniel out for breakfast.

Suddenly, Nathaniel said that their goal that day was to climb to the top of the mountain.

After hearing covering, Rita took a glance at the peak of the mountain. She saw that clouds were covering the top of the mountain, so she couldn't help but wail.

Zion and Wisdom weren't even worried, so they immediately dragged Rita and took the lead in climbing up.

Meanwhile, Mango wore a pair of sneakers that day. She looked at the mountaintop and asked, "Are you planning to climb up just to take picture?"

"Do you like the idea?"

Mango nodded her head repeatedly when she heard Nathaniel's question.

"Of course!"

"Let's go then."

The family began to climb towards the top of the mountain.

However, Rita couldn't hold on anymore when they were just halfway up, so Zion immediately mocked her.

"What can you do? Heh! I know! You only eat and sleep! I'm really worried for you in the future because I think no man will want to marry you."

"I don't want to get married! Maybe I'll stay at home so that you can feed me! I'll make you take care of me forever, and I'll waste all your money! Hmph!" The corners of Zion's mouth twitched in annoyance when she heard what Rita had said.

That was really what Rita would do.

"Come on! I'll carry you!"

Finally, Zion sighed and said. When he saw Rita panting, he remembered how she used to need an oxygen tank to survive in the hospital.

At this thought, his heart clenched slightly at the memory. Then, he could not help but bent down in front of Rita.

After hearing that, Rita's expression changed instantly.

"Zion, you're such a good brother!"

After that, she jumped onto Zion's back and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly.

Then, Zion stood up easily and said affectionately, "Hah! So, I'm a good brother again now?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

How could Rita not understand the meaning behind his words? But it didn't matter, she just wanted to be comfortable at that moment.

Meanwhile, Mango could not help but grin when she saw the children fighting.

"Are you tired? Come on, I'll carry you," Nathaniel said.

Then, he bent down in front of Mango like Zion had done.

Suddenly, Mango's heart started jumping wildly.

The memories of the past came to her mind.

This was not the first time Nathaniel carried her on his back, but she was still excited and happy. After all, she felt great because someone was cherishing her.

Then, Mango climbed onto Nathaniel's back and leaned on his shoulder happily.

The mountain path was still far away, and it was a little rugged. However, everyone was genuinely happy. When Wisdom took a look at his parents, a smile appeared on his face immediately.

The cameraman behind them hurriedly took pictures of the scene. Therefore, the clicks of the camera echoed in the mountain forest, which was satisfying to hear.

On the other hand, Michael had also made some new progress.

"Michael, I've found it! Urgh! Beneon is something else. If it weren't for you, we probably would have never found out his real background!"
