The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1243

Mango couldn't tell how she felt at the moment she simply couldn't understand Michael's approach. However, everyone had their own choices, perhaps it would also be a good thing if he was able to let go of his obsession with Valentina.

With such a thought, Mango felt much more relaxed.

"What shall we do now? Do we still need to go in?"

"Forget it, let's give them some time to spend alone."

Nathaniel held Mango's hand and both of them walked out of the hospital.

It was sunny day with the blazing sun while Mango was also feeling much more relaxed. As if the glum that lingered in her heart had suddenly dissipated, which made her feel comfortable.

"Would you like to hang out somewhere?"

Nathaniel was suddenly feeling good while looking at the smile on Mango's face.

Mango was stunned for a moment before shaking her head and said, "I still haven't know about Zion's condition, let's go back and check on him."

"The kid will be fine, and he will need to take some rest for the time being, there's nothing much we can do. Why don't I take you to buy some good food? Shall I buy you some clothes instead? You weren't in good mood recently, didn't they say that women's mood tend to change better after they go shopping?"

Mango was somewhat amused by Nathaniel's remarks.

Zion would definitely feel upset if he got to know that his father despised him so much.

"It seems like you began to know how to get girls to like you all of a sudden, are you seeing someone else around?"

Mango ridiculed him.

Nathaniel said with a serious face, "I'm not seeing anyone else, I just want my wife to be happy. After all, didn't I upset you just now? Just take it as my apology for you."

Recalling the conflict between the two of them, Mango couldn't help but say, "It's my fault for not being considerate by taking action on my own, and it's not completely your fault either. I was way too self- righteous, and was just concerned about your feelings, but I wasn't well-considered about taking any safety measures. I even left you out alone in my actions, I was too selfish."

Upon hearing his wife uttered so, Nathaniel quickly replied, "Don't say that. I know that you had good intentions towards me, let's not fuss with my hot temper for now. At that time, I was pissed off and lashed out at you, can you forgive me for that? How about I hand you over my credit card, go nuts and max it out as my punishment?"

Mango immediately burst into laughter.

"Your card? Max it up? Are you sure it can be maxed up?"

Nathaniel touched his head in embarrassment and said, "Well, shall I go back and get a limited spending card instead?" "You're a weirdo!"

Mango glared at him in a delicate way before walking out of the room.

Since Mr. Ye was idled and relaxed, she should hang out somewhere. After all, they were travelling, weren't they?

After seeing Mango's happy face, he then followed along.

He reached out his hand and twined his fingers into hers as they walked

ther, it felt wonderful.

He realized that he shouldn't make unreasonable arguments with Mango in future. Wasn't it a pleasant feeling to stay sweet with each other? Why would he want to bring troubles for the both of them?

There was a stall in a distance which sold meatballs.

Mango hadn't eaten such light bites for a long time, her appetite had aroused.

"Shall we go and have some meatballs?"

She looked up at Nathaniel with a smile.

Nathaniel was somewhat confused.

"What's that?"

"It's heavenly food, let's go!"

Mango had known that Nathaniel definitely hadn't eaten the appetizer before, she quickly grabbed his hand and ran over to the stall.

"Sir, can I have the meatballs for ten dollar?"

Mango was as exhilarated as a child.

Nathaniel seemed to recall the moment when Mango was studying in university.

At that time, she was a bright, cheerful and beautiful girl, just like this moment.

Nathaniel couldn't help looking at her in a daze.

When the fragrance came from the other side, Nathaniel found that the so-called mini meatballs were deep fried, he was flattered by the texture of it. His brows couldn't help frowning.

"What kind of oil is this?"

Nathaniel's remarks stunned the boss for a moment before he replied, "It's peanut oil."

"That's impossible, I'm sure that peanut oil doesn't taste so."

Nathaniel was about to say something else when he felt that his sleeve was being dragged. Mango gave him a stare, causing Nathaniel to feel somewhat sad.

"These bites can't be eaten. The oil they used isn't healthy, who knows if it's from the gutter."

Nathaniel's tone was neither too loud nor too low, it was just enough to let Mango hear it alone. He wasn't afraid of what the boss would do to them after hearing him but there were some chief advisors there. If they had created some chaos and alerted them, his wish to stroll around with Mango would be cancelled.

Mango was somewhat speechless.

"Keep your mouth shut."

"Honey, this oil..."

"If you say it again, I won't sleep with you tonight."

Mango's words were deterrent to him, which instantly caused Nathaniel to shut his mouth.

What a joke! His sleeping place was indeed an important question whereby it was much important than the gutter oil.

However, it would be fine if he didn't allow Mango to eat it.

As if she could read through Nathaniel's minds, Mango whispered, "If you don't let me have it today, then you're not allowed to enter my room for half a month."

Nathaniel's shoulders immediately collapsed.

"Honey, are you kidding me? What makes u so fond of it? After all, it's not good for your health if the oil isn't healthy enough."

"Please, we won't die if we merely have it once or twice occasionally. The puffed food is also not good, why did you allow Rita to have it?"

Mango was somewhat speechless regarding it.

She wasn't having it every day, instead just once in a blue moon. After all, Nathaniel mentioned previously to let her eat and buy whatever she wished.

It was just the beginning where he had begun babbling.

Mango knew that he was taking her health into consideration. However, they shouldn't fuss about outside food at the moment. Furthermore, she had checked previously that the shop had a high rating in Yelp. Nathaniel was somewhat depressed.

"Rita is different."

"What's the difference? Okay, I see. Rita is your little lover, whatever she does is always right. I am your wife and whatever I do is always wrong, correct? Sheesh, wives are not made to be lovers anyway." Mango had fired back at Nathaniel which made him shut up even more.

Another word out and it would be another mistake.

He worked so hard to make his wife smiled. Hence, he didn't want to lose his epic night simply because of the mini meatballs.

At that moment, their fried meatballs were ready and were handed to them by the boss with two bamboo skewers.

"What are these for?"

Nathaniel inquired shamelessly but he was then pulled away in disdain by Mango.

She picked up the bamboo stick and inserted in a mini meatball. After that, she handed it to Nathaniel, and said with a smile, "Open your mouth."

"Do I really have to eat it?"

Nathaniel's brows were tightly furrowed that he could trap a fly.

Why was Mango so keen on the bites that were deeply fried from that disgusting gutter oil?

Should he

it?

Nathaniel was struggling deep down in his heart.

Mango was just looking at him with a smiling face but he could see the menace in her eyes.

She had shown him a threatening look which made him try the food no matter what.

Nathaniel swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Whatever, he just needed to swallow it, he didn't care if the meatballs would kill him. Perhaps they could suffocate the Golden Lancehead Venom in his body.

As he thought so, Nathaniel opened his mouth with a death-defying look.

When the meatballs were chewed inside his mouth, Nathaniel was immediately stunned by the taste.

"How is it? Is it yummy?"

Mango's eyes curved into crescents as she smiled joyfully.

Nathaniel hurriedly nodded. Then, he picked up a bamboo stick and ate another one.

"Hey, leave some for me! Don't eat them all!" Realizing how shameless the man was, Mango couldn't help feeling anxious.

Both of them were like children in which they quickly snatched the food with each other on the streets. The sound of laughter filled the surroundings, which attracted some crowds to stare at them, however they didn't care at all. Seizing the present moment and living happily was the best way to go for them.

The meatballs were starting to run out. There was only one left, but Nathaniel grabbed it and ran away.

"Hey, shame on you! I bought it!"

Mango felt that he was bullying her.

Nathaniel ran quickly by taking privilege of his big strapping figure, thus she had to pursue quickly.

"Catch me if you can! I'll give it to you if you manage to catch me."

Nathaniel turned around his head and said with a smile.

Mango seemed to had a vision as a senior during the time when she studying in university, but it was somewhat different.

When he was in college, he was apathy and disconnected from the crowd. It seemed he was difficult to approach, with his brilliant and exquisite character. One could only watch him from afar but dared not mingle with him.

To this day, that man had already become her husband. Although he still had a stone cold character, deep down he was gentle and loving.

"Stay still if you dare!"

Mango immediately chased after him.

They chased each other on the road like kids.

Nathaniel had always kept a distance from her, trying to make Mango exercise more.

They were frolic for a while. Meanwhile, a jeep turned over from the road next to them.

Mango expression didn't look good.

It was a military license plate.

Mango recalled that Chief Oxford was still around the town and couldn't help feeling somewhat anxious.

She did some changes in her appearance, but Nathaniel didn't do so.

After all, as a man he didn't like makeup at all. What if they ran into each other?

As she thought so, Nathaniel slowed down his pace too. Apparently, Nathaniel had also figured out the car, and his expression changed.

Mango quickly walked over and held Nathaniel's hand, she whispered, "Follow me."

There was a shopping mall nearby. As long as the two of them entered there, it would take some time for the other party to look for them. After all, there were more crowds in the shopping mall.

Nathaniel did not want to trigger any disputes and conflicts either. Hence, he immediately lowered his head.

Mango's heart was pounding fast, she felt as if it was about to leap to her throat, while her palms were sweaty.

She had experienced a lot hardships over the years after marrying Nathaniel, thus she could literally keep herself calm.

They walked towards the mall beside them like an ordinary married couple.

The jeep drove past them.

Mango's heart was on tenterhooks the whole time. Just as she passed by the car, she had let out a sigh of relief.

Nathaniel had restrained his emotions very well, which was looking rather composure.

Mango felt that her inner strength was still far from Nathaniel's. It seemed that she still needed more practice.

Just when they were about to heave a sigh of relief and enter the mall, the jeep abruptly stopped, and the car window rolled down.

"Those two in the front, hold your horses."

Mango and Nathaniel frowned slightly. They continued to walk forward as if they hadn't heard anything. However, they had accelerated their footsteps.

"Hey, stop! You better stop or I'll shoot!"
