The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 970

His familiar scent immediately enveloped Mango.

Mango subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Nathaniel held her hands tightly in his arms.

"Hey..."

Mango raised her head slightly. The corner of her lips brushed Nathaniel's thin lips, causing them to tremble with excitement.

Nathaniel's eyes darkened, and he swallowed a gulp down his throat. He suddenly held Mango's head and gave her a domineering kiss. Mango felt her toes curling at how good it felt!

Mango gave herself to Nathaniel in the end. They were completely immersed in their passionate kiss.

After that heated kiss, Mango went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Nathaniel stared at Mango's back. This was the first time that he had felt at ease since she had left him.

Warm water splashed down Mango's body. Her passion for Nathaniel was there, but she still felt disturbed by the secret that Nathaniel kept her away from. After all, she could not pretend that it had never happened, no matter what.

If Nathaniel really had nothing to do with that woman, why was he afraid that she would find out his secret?

Why did the woman die?

Mango felt that her relationship with Nathaniel was complicated because she couldn't let go of this issue. Thus, she couldn't help but sigh.

When she came out, a gleam flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.

"When will you go back to Ocean City?"

"I'm not planning to go back."

Mango flipped her hair.

Nathaniel found the hairdryer. Then, he came over to hold her long hair.

Mango paused for a moment, but she did not stop him.

This was what Nathaniel used to do before. He would blow Mango's hair while she leaned on the bed with her eyes closed. However, no one knew what she was thinking now. Mango's hair was very smooth and silky.

Nathaniel had always liked her long hair, and he felt satisfied as he ran his fingers between her hair.

"Are you not mad at me anymore?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Maybe I still am. Perhaps I was never mad at you, and I just wanted to know the reason. Nathaniel, no matter what, you should stop hiding it from me. Although I believe you have not cheated on me, can you tell me what happened between you and the woman?"

Mango suddenly opened her eyes.

Nathaniel's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you? I asked her something, so we got together during that time. However, I never expected her to have feelings for me."

"What was it about?"

This was the most important question.

Nathaniel whispered, "It's about my company."

"Hah! I guess you still don't want to tell the truth."

Mango suddenly felt a little disappointed and upset. The two of them had just become one, but now they grew distant with each other because of this matter.

"I need to tune the zither. If you want to sleep here, go ahead."

Mango pulled back her long hair and wrapped herself in her pyjamas before heading to the study room.

She did not ask Nathaniel to leave.

However, Nathaniel did not know what to feel right now.

When Mango reached the study room, her mind was blank.

She thought about the matter, but she could not find any clues. Then, she thought of Lebanon.

Why did an A-lister suddenly pay attention to her?

Did Nathaniel and Lebanon know each other?

Mango knew Lebanon's personality well. So, why didn't he speak up when someone had beaten him up out of the blue?

It was probably because he knew who had beaten him up, and he was familiar with Nathaniel too!

However, Nathaniel had a powerful background. If Lebanon had been a normal person, he would drop this issue and forget about it easily.

Mango was searching for valid reasons inside her brain, but she could not find a reasonable one.

She was not narcissistic enough to say that Lebanon had fallen in love with her at first sight. Besides, this was not very likely to happen. After all, Lebanon was quite handsome, and he had met many gorgeous women. So, why would he be interested in a married woman?

Mango felt that she needed to figure this out.

Perhaps Lebanon knew the dead woman?

Upon thinking of this, Mango immediately became alert.

If her guess was correct, what relationship did Lebanon have with that dead woman?

Did he look for Mango to deal with Nathaniel?

Perhaps he wanted to get revenge on Nathaniel because the latter had killed that woman?

Mango furrowed her brows.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Rainie.

"Are you asleep?"

"Not yet. Did Nathaniel leave?"

Rainie sent a naughty emoji.

Mango's face turned red and hot.

Rainie was quick-witted.

"No, he'll probably sleep here tonight."

"Uh-oh! Poor me, you're gonna leave me alone again."

Mango felt that Rainie's replies were hilarious.

"Stop joking around. I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

Mango paused for a moment before typing on her phone, "Do you still remember the woman that was having an affair with Nathaniel? Um... She's dead now. I want to ask if anyone you know can help me to investigate her identity and background."

Rainie frowned slightly.

"Can't you get Desmond to do this for you?" "I don't want to get my people involved in this." Rainie immediately understood Mango's words. Mango did not want to let Nathaniel know that she was looking into this matter.

"You still can't get over that?"

"Well, yeah. I think that I'm missing something important. Besides, a big shot like Lebanon came looking for me suddenly. Don't you think it's strange?"

"You suspect that Lebanon has something to do with the dead woman?"

Rainie was aware of the meaning behind Mango's words.

Mango nodded, "Yeah, that's my guess. But I guess we'll only find out the truth after investing it. However, I don't want Nathaniel to know about this."

Rainie understood what Mango was trying to say. "Do you think Nathaniel is hiding something from you?"

"Yes."

"Well, since he wants to hide it from you, I don't think we can find out anything. You might as well ask him directly." Mango face darkened.

"I did, but he refused to tell me anything."

Rainie was upset.

If Mango couldn't even get a clue from Nathaniel, this was most likely an extremely serious matter. Perhaps it had something to do with Mango too. If that was the case, should Rainie continue to help Mango investigate this problem?

Rainie hesitated.

"What? You don't want to help me too?"

Mango was able to sense Rainie's thoughts even though they were only texting.

"No, urn...I think that if Nathaniel doesn't want you to know about it, maybe it's for your own good. Why do you have to find it out? Perhaps the truth is something that you can't accept."

"No matter what the consequences are, I have the right to know the truth."

Rainie immediately understood after reading Mango's reply.

"Well, I get it. I'll ask my friend to help investigate "Thank you very much."

this matter."

After putting down her phone, Mango looked at the room where Nathaniel stayed with mixed feelings.

The next day, Mango brought her zither to Polygon Spartial Building.

She immediately asked someone to throw away the broken strings of the old zither. Then, she took out her zither, which cost her one hundred thousand dollars.

The whole team suddenly became silent.

Everyone here had been in the music industry for a long time, so they naturally recognized the value of Mango's zither.

They did not expect that Mango would be willing to spend so much money.

Mango sat down and took out the stave. She then played the zither, and the sound was very pleasing to the ear.

She played the music quickly and turned a blind eye to her surroundings.

The expressions of the other team members changed.

When Ares arrived, he saw Mango's zither immediately.

"Ms. Shen, this is..."

"Oh! Ares, I think the tone of this zither is better. When the album is out later, I will gift this to the team."

Ares was astounded upon hearing Mango's words.

He could tell the value of this zither at only a glance. Now that Mango had said that she would give it to the team, he was instantly filled with excitement.

"Ms. Shen, are you serious?"

"Of course! Just take it as a token of appreciation to you for teaching Rainie."

Mango said with a faint smile.

"Wow! You're too generous. Rainie is a talent, and I'm also someone who cherishes talent."

Ares was jovial.

When other people saw Ares' reply, they did not dare to say anything.

Thus, she had settled this problem immediately. However, when Mango was in the washroom, she heard two people gossiping about her.

"Do you see that? Mango is so rich that she bought that super expensive zither for our team. Is she trying to brag about how rich she is?" "Bah! She's trying to curry favor with Ares! Who knows if Pinksy will return in the future? Urgh! She's only trying to establish a good image for herself."

Mango did not take their words to heart.

No matter what, she would be criticized in the workplace because she was still a newcomer. As long as these people did not bully her, she would turn a blind eye to it.

When Mango thought about this, she opened the toilet's door and went to wash her hands as if nothing had happened. This startled the two people who were gossiping about her.

When they saw that it was Mango, the expressions on their faces were grave.

After washing her hands, Mango walked past them as if they did not exist.

Both of them were infuriated, and they scrunched their faces.

"Hah! What's there to brag about? Isn't she only a little richer than us?"

"Yeah you're right. I just happen to be rich. If you have the money, I don't mind you competing with me!"

When Mango walked to the door, she stopped. Then, she turned around and gave them a brilliant smile. However, her words only enraged the two people.

After saying this, Mango left immediately.

Mango only became a zither player here to help Rainie, so she planned to ignore everyone else. However, if they went overboard, Mango would not mind teaching them a lesson.

After returning to the team, Rainie quickly pulled Mango to herself and said, "Why did you take so long? Did someone bully you?"

"Do you think I'm being bullied?"

Mango's question was not too loud. However, everyone paused for a moment after hearing her words.

Suddenly, they could hear knocked. Then, the door opened, and four people came in while carrying a few boxes.

"Hello everyone, these are the fresh fruits that Ms. Shen bought. These were recently imported from overseas, so please have a taste."

Mango was confounded.

Ms. Shen?

Was it her?

When did she buy fresh fruits for the team?

These fruits were definitely expensive!

The other members of the team were also surprised.

When Mango saw that everyone was staring at her, she did not know what to say. Then, the workers who carried the boxes stepped forward and said respectfully to Mango, "Ms. Shen, we've already delivered

the items. Enjoy the fruits!"

After that, they left.

Mango was completely dumbfounded!
