The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1755

Nathaniel and Mango stayed in their hotel. While having dinner, Zion suddenly came to them out of nowhere, pulled out a chair, and sat down to eat.

Zion's attitude that seemed like no one was around at all caused Nathaniel's brows to furrow.

"Aren't you in isolation now?"

Hearing that Nathaniel's tone was not quite right, Mango kicked him directly under the table. She then heard Zion say lightly, "Mom, that's my leg." Mango suddenly felt awkward.

Seeing his wife's acts, Nathaniel quickly said, "Your mom didn't kick the wrong person. You're already an adult and have a girlfriend. How can you come back to us and eat our dinner for free?"

"I haven't gotten married yet. Dad, have you already started to dislike me? Besides, I haven't eaten much at home in the past few years."

Nathaniel was a little depressed after hearing Zion's words.

"You disturbed our meal."

"You can just say that I disturbed you and your wife."

Hearing Zion's words, Nathaniel's face darkened again.

"I remember that you used to be cold."

"People change, and I decided to come back."

Mango's interest was instantly piqued after hearing Zion's words.

"Are you going to retire?"

"How is that possible? I believe that a person like him will stay in the military for the rest of his whole life." Nathaniel said directly.

Zion put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "Dad, mom is right. I may retire." "What do you mean?"

Nathaniel was stunned.

Zion said lightly, "It's nothing. I still have ambitions and ideals, but without arrogance like before when I was young. I'm considering more about it now. Besides, my current position is particular and dangerous. It's not good for my wife and children if I have a family. I've watched you and my mom since I was a child. Soldiers are responsible for protecting the country. If I become a husband and a father, I may not want to care much about anything besides my family. Anyway, I've done my duty for so many years. I have a clear conscience."

Mango's eyes lit up instantly.

"Be a father? Is Evangeline pregnant?"

Zion's mouth twitched.

"Mom, can you focus on the important point? I just established a relationship with her not long before. Do you think it's possible?"

"Why not? Evangeline has already been wooing you for 20 years."

Zion narrowed his eyes and said in a low tone, "Yes, it's been 20 years. She will never

hurt me."

"What?"

Mango didn't hear him clearly, so she asked directly.

"Nothing."

Zion smiled faintly and continued to eat, but Nathaniel's eyes flashed.

Did something happened to this brat and Evangeline?

"Do you come back because you have something to request from us?"

Hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango was stunned again, and Zion couldn't help but sigh slightly.

It was really bad to have a father who's a soldier. He didn't even know how to be tactful.

"Yes, I want to do something private using someone from the Ye family."

Nathaniel and Mango were stunned.

Private affairs?

Zion had done a lot of things in the past few years, but not private affairs. Now when he talked about private affairs, both of them thought of Evangeline at the same time.

Nathaniel put down his chopsticks, looked at Zion seriously, and said, "You should know that only one identity is needed to use the people from Ye family, and that is to be the head of the Ye family. Have you decided to take off your military uniform and to become the head of the Ye family in the business?"

"Yes. I've thought it through."

Zion looked at Nathaniel with sparkling eyes.

"Will you regret it?"

"No."

Zion's attitude looked exactly the same when he said he wanted to join the army before.

Few people could do that.

A lot of people had been in the military for their whole lives in order to achieve the highest achievement. Zion achieved that, but he gave up without any hesitation.

Nathaniel showed a gratified smile at this moment.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, then be prepared to take over the business of the Ye family. I am talking about business in all aspects."

"I know. But I have to go to the Trident Ocean now. There is also some business of Ye family in the Trident Ocean, right?"

Only then did Zion reveal his true purpose.

Nathaniel didn't ask anything but directly gave him the ring. He said lightly, "Yes, there is. You will need an assistant when you take over the business of the Ye family. You know that my assistant is Uncle Ned, right? Since Ned has already requested to retire many times, you should find yourself an assistant before you leave, in other words, a partner before you leave. That person will be your brother after you take over the business of Ye family."

"Okay. I'll pick one later."

Zion had no objections about this.

Mango, on the other hand, had a lot on her mind.

She was not as broad-minded as Nathaniel.

When her son was about to join the army, she could feel from the bottom of her heart that he liked the army green clothes sincerely. But now that he was so straightforward when he retreated, she felt that there was something wrong.

"Zion, did something happen? Did you tell Carlson about your retirement?"

"Yes I did, but Uncle Carlson didn't agree. However, I have submitted the application according to the procedure. It will reach him sooner or later. Besides, I have already arranged everything around me." Hearing Zion's words, although Mango was still confused, she stopped asking.

Zion had a meal with Nathaniel and Mango, then he got up and went to his room. He then video-called Benjamin.

Benjamin was still thinking about what had happened during the day. When he picked up Zion's video call, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Boss, I know it's my fault today. I..."

"I'm not calling you because of private affairs, but for official business."

Hearing that, Benjamin straightened his back and put up a serious look.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Benjamin's seriousness made Zion sigh emotionally. They two had already been in the military region for nearly 20 years in the blink of an eye.

He and Benjamin joined the army at a young age. He had thought that they would be brothers for the rest of his life and would follow the same path for the rest of his life too. However, it was only at this moment that he realized how childish that thought was when being young and frivolous.

It turned out that everyone would have their own lives, and that there were many forks on the road that was called life. He and Benjamin could no longer move on together.

He, Zion Ye, would have a new battlefield and new companions.

"Benjamin."

"I'm here!"

Benjamin was waiting for Zion's order with all his attention. When he heard Zion call him that, he responded automatically. Then, he looked at Zion with a puzzled look on his face.

Zion smiled all of a sudden. "Take good care of yourself from now on. Remember to treat me to a drink when you become the military commander."

"That's for sure. If I were the commander, you would be a general."

Zion didn't say anything after hearing that. Instead, he told Benjamin his passwords of the previous and future missions, which made Benjamin a little confused. "Zion, this is your password. Why are you giving it to me?"
