The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 527

"Wow! Steak!"

Rita's excitement was a stark contrast to Wisdom who was frowning.

"Sir and Miss, I have prepared some steaks for both of you. Please enjoy."

The woman seemed to be a nanny. She served the freshly cooked steak to Rita.

However, Wisdom stopped Rita without any hesitation. He then looked at the woman in front of him before saying, "We want to have it in a restaurant. My sister only likes mediumwell, but this steak is half done. Plus, she only eats steaks made from imported beef."

"Wisdom, I..."

"Shut up!"

Wisdom glared at Rita suddenly.

Although Rita was dying to have it, she still took a step back because of Wisdom's glare. However, her eyes were fixed on the steaks while drooling.

The truth was, Wisdom did not purposely stop Rita from eating the steaks, but they couldn't have it here.

Instead of hitting the roof, the woman was calm and she said with a smile, "The steaks are indeed freshly made from imported beef. As for the medium-well steak you mentioned, I'll ask them to redo it now. Please wait a moment."

After the woman finished talking, she went out with the steaks.

"What? Wait... Wait! My steaks!"

Rita was dying to snatch the steak from the woman, but Wisdom grabbed her arm.

"Wisdom, my steak!"

"We still don't know what happened to Mommy. So, we only can use this excuse to stall them for now. I'll find something for you to eat now."

Wisdom was slightly worried about Rita.

Rita cared about nothing else but eating, so Wisdom was uncertain if he could stall them.

Rita frowned upon hearing Wisdom's words and she said, "Wait. So, no matter what food they offered us, I have to say that I'm not satisfied with it and let them do it again, is it?" "That's right! Our baby Rita is brilliant!"

Wisdom generously offered his praises to Rita, but she was pulling her face.

"You're evil, Wisdom! You clearly know that food is my favorite, yet you're forcing me to do that? I don't want to pick on food that I like! You're the worst in the world! Hmph!"

Rita's accusation made Wisdom feel guilty and distressed.

"I promise you, as long as you can reject the food they offered thrice, I will buy you KFC and Starbucks thrice, deal?"

Due to Rita's health condition, both Nathaniel and Mango never allowed her to eat junk food. Even if she did, Rita was normally only allowed to eat it with limitations. Therefore, she smiled delightfully while extending her little finger upon Wisdom's words.

"Pinky promise?"

Wisdom looked at Rita's chubby little hand, and he stretched out his fingers without hesitation.

"Pinky promise! Whoever goes back on their words will become a pig!"

When their thumbs met, Rita smiled even happier, but Wisdom felt sad out of a sudden.

"Zion isn't around, and I am not sure how is Mommy. I have to get Rita out of here, otherwise, Mommy will be worried!"

Wisdom thought to himself and he comforted

Rita for a while before leaving the room.

Rita looked at him worryingly and she said, "Wisdom, it is so high! You have to be careful!"

"It's okay. Stay here and don't let them in before I come back, okay? Just tell them that you have changed your mind, and you want to eat something else instead of steak. Anything is fine as long as you can stall them."

Wisdom reminded Rita once again.

Rita nodded her head before saying, "Okay. Leave it to me. I can resist temptation as long as I don't see any delicious food."

"Good girl!"

Wisdom smiled at Rita and he climbed out of the window.

There were full of guards below him.

Wisdom didn't expect that Nick would send so many bodyguards just to watch him and Rita. Many of them were from the base camp and Wisdom had seen them when he was under Nick's special training. Wisdom bit his lower lip and he carefully moved towards the kitchen.

All the staffs were busy in the kitchen. Just like the woman said, the steaks were indeed imported from overseas, so they were extremely fresh. Currently, the woman was directing the staff to redo the steak. While they weren't looking, Wisdom darted in and he quickly hid under a chopping board.

Something next to him attracted his attention. He quickly grabbed a cloth bag and tied it with a rope quietly. By using the theory of pulley, he transported it to the window of the room that Rita and he were locked up.

Rita was slightly stunned when she saw the bag, but then she quickly ran towards the window. Rita saw a rope that was connecting to another room, and the bag seemed to have something in it. Rita frowned slightly while opening the window, and she tried her best to drag the bag towards herself.

When Wisdom poked his head out of the window to check Rita, he was pleased to see Rita was taking out the stuff that was inside of the bag. He smiled widely while showing her a thumbs up.

Rita immediately perked up when she received the praise from Wisdom. She even took off her jacket and gave her best while doing it.

With Rita's help, Wisdom became even more confident with his plan.

Wisdom was tiny and he was trained in a special training base camp before, so he knew how to avoid the supervision and cameras. Wisdom was able to move freely in the kitchen without anyone noticing him. Bags of things were transferred to their rooms continuously through the ropes.

Rita was soaked with sweat in a short while. However, she was getting energetic as everything was fun and interesting for her.

At this moment, Rita heard footsteps were approaching the room.

She was anxious while holding her breath.

A woman knocked on the door and said.

"Please excuse me. The steak is ready."

"I don't want to eat steak anymore. I want egg tarts now. Make me some, please."

Rita replied instantly before the woman entered the room.

The woman frowned slightly, but she still asked respectfully, "How about Wisdom? His steak is ready too."

"He doesn't want to have it either. Right, Wisdom?"

After Rita finished speaking, she quickly pretended to be Wisdom and imitated his voice, "Yes".

After knowing this, the woman said respectfully, "Well, okay then. I'll ask them to make egg tarts for both of you now."

"Hurry up! I want to have mousse cakes and fruits too."

"All right."

Rita confirmed the woman left as the footsteps disappeared gradually.

Rita spun in circles and she gave herself a thumbs-up. Then, she said to herself, "Rita, you're a genius! You can be an actress in the future! Yeah!"

After Rita was immersed in the happiness for a while, Wisdom had returned.

"Wisdom, you're back? Let me tell you something, I made the woman left! I even talked in your voice to distract her. I..."

"Shh!"

Wisdom noticed Rita's voice was getting louder, so he had to shut her mouth with his hands. He then opened the door slightly to peek outside of their room.

Four well-built men were guarding the door of the room. The living room was huge, and there were more than a dozen bodyguards there.

Wisdom frowned slightly.

"Wisdom, what are you looking at? Let me see it too."

Rita anxiously tugged at the comer of Wisdom's shirt.

Wisdom looked down and he thought for a while, "Rita, do you know how to skate?"

"Yes! Zion taught me before. When I was hospitalized back then, I was bored and there was nothing fun to do. Plus, Mommy and Godfather did not allow me to have any physical activities. So, my brother installed a figure skating game for me. It was fun!"

Wisdom's mouth twitched slightly when he heard that.

"I'm not referring to game, but in reality. Have you played it in real life before?"

"No, but I have a great balancing. In the backyard of the hospital, I managed to walk on a horizontal bar. But Mommy and Zion don't know about this matter, so you can't tell them! This is a small secret between

us."

"Alright. Let's play figure skating now, shall we?"

Rita became excited instantly when she heard Wisdom's idea.

"How do we play it?"

"Do as I say, okay? Just follow my way."

Wisdom looked at Rita as he was slightly worried, but time was running out.

However, Rita said happily, "Okay! I promise I will be a good girl!"

Wisdom stared at Rita who was in such a high spirit, and he felt butterflies in his stomach. He no longer cared if this was the right thing to do.

"Just pretend that you have a stomachache. Once I open the door, clasp my hand and never let go, okay?"

"Got it!"

At this moment, principles were no longer a priority to Rita. Her mind was filled with all the fun stuff she would be doing with Wisdom.

Wisdom nodded to her, and Rita immediately held her belly while wailing.

"Ouch, ah! My stomach hurts, I'm going to die! Someone, please help me! Send me to the hospital!"

Rita shouted in a tearful voice pitifully, even Wisdom was amazed by her acting. He might be fooled too if he didn't know the truth.

When the people outside of the room heard Rita's shouting, they were hesitant initially. But, at this moment, Wisdom began to cry and shout too.

"Rita, what's wrong with you? Why are your lips turning purple? Someone, please save her!"

Wisdom kicked the door brutally while yelling for help.

The bodyguards became anxious immediately.

The kids were their boss's son and niece. He would not let them off if something happened to Wisdom and Rita.

Thinking of this, the bodyguards opened the door in a hurry.

At this moment, Wisdom directly poured the peanut oil that he had prepared in advance on the floor.

"Rita, hold my hand tightly. Let's skate!"

At the same time, Wisdom stretched out his small hand towards Rita.

Although Rita didn't understand the reason for Wisdom doing that, she was cooperative by handing her hand over.

As soon as Wisdom held Rita's hand tightly, Wisdom pulled her one step forward and they stepped directly on the peanut oil. The bodyguards who came in unprepared were splashed by the peanut oil, and they couldn't stand up straight. While the guards were looking for their balance, Wisdom slipped through the gaps between them swiftly with Rita.

"Wow! This is so exciting!"

It was the first time that Rita experienced skating, so she couldn't control herself at all. She got all the bodyguards' attention as she was screaming excitedly.

"Quick! Catch them!"

The captain of the bodyguards panicked immediately when he saw this.

Wisdom, on the other hand, displayed his superb skating technique. He brought Rita with him and they quickly dodged the guards. Then Wisdom detonated the settings he placed at the windows not too long

ago.

Along with a loud bang, the flames reddened the atmosphere, and a wave of heat rushed towards them. Wisdom quickly hugged Rita while jumping onto the railing of the stairs and they slid down the stairs. Rita was startled by the explosion, so she quickly asked, "Wisdom, is that a bomb? Where did you get that from?"
