The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

"Mango, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

Rainie quickly ran to Mango and touched her forehead.

Her forehead wasn't hot, but Mango's entire body was trembling, as if she was freezing.

"Mango, what's wrong?"

"It hurts!"

Mango opened her mouth and said, but no sound came out.

It hurt!

The pain was unbearable!

She felt a sharp pain in her chest as if her heart was being torn apart.

She felt as if she was tied up and the pain was coming at her fast, nearly suffocating her.

What should she do?

Who would come and save her?

At the sight of this, Rainie's eyes welled up with tears instantly.

She was well aware of how Mango had poured herself into this relationship. Seeing her like this now, Rainie hated Nathaniel immensely.

"There, there. It won't hurt anymore! I'm here."

Rainie quickly climbed onto the bed and hugged Mango tightly. However, Mango was still trembling.

Seeing this at the door, Denver's heart ached

He turned around and walked away quietly.

"Help me find out who this car belongs to."

Denver sent out the photo of Nathaniel's car plate.

Back then, Nathaniel was not in the car as he went to buy some cigarettes. When he came back, Mango and the others were in front of the car and Denver was trying to smash the car window. Hence, he knew that he had been discovered.

When he saw Mango turning around and walking away with an expression that showed that she didn't want to face him at all, it crushed him like a steam roller.

When he saw Rainie make the call, he knew that he was exposed.

After Rainie had finished the phone call, Nathaniel quickly called Thomas.

"Who's the owner of the car I'm driving?"

"It's Judson Zhang's car, he's the general manager of the Pixelpoly Group."

Hearing Thomas's words made Nathaniel let out a sigh of relief.

"Tell Judson to say that he was just curious about what the company's translator looked like, and that's why he followed her."

"I beg your pardon?"

Thomas was unable to keep up with Nathaniel.

"Followed? Mr. Ye, don't tell me you're..."

"Yes, I've been following Mango. Is there a problem?"

Nathaniel retorted with a faint trace of anger.

Thomas hurriedly said, "No, there's no problem. I'll get to it right away. However, Mr. Ye, Rainie seems to have figured out that you're here in Estania, and she's saying she wants to break up with me. If you don't wish to have direct contact with Mrs. Ye, you'd better not go out that often."

Upon hearing Thomas's words, Nathaniel felt even more upset.

"It's none of your business."

He hung up, feeling annoyed.

He was Mango's husband after all. Didn't that mean that he had the right to follow her? Why couldn't he see her if he wanted to?

But when he asked himself these questions, he could not help but feel defeated.

Of course, he could see Mango, but he was afraid that Mango would feel much worse after seeing him.

Then, Nathaniel took out a cigarette and lit it up as he chain-smoked. However, the aching feeling in his chest was nothing like the smoke he exhaled, which drifted away into the air.

Meanwhile, Mango was immersed in the same aching sadness, and she was struggling. Only when she was wrapped in Rainie's warm embrace did she calm down slowly.

Heartbroken, Rainie said, "Why are you doing this to yourself? That person may not be him. If you don't want to see him, I'll tell him to leave. Don't worry, he won't have the chance to bother you. I won't allow

it."

Mango didn't say anything, and she didn't respond.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings right now.

Just then, Denver came in and said softly, "We've found the owner of the car. It belongs to Judson Zhang, the general manager of the Pixelpoly Group. He said that he was curious about what Mango looked like, and that's why he followed her all the way here. He'll drive the car away later."

As they heard this, Rainie and Mango both paused for a moment.

Judson Zhang?

They have never heard of this person before.

Rainie smiled and said, "It seems that we've been too suspicious. Mango, you're too beautiful. Men are willing to go through all that trouble just to get a glimpse of your beauty. You'd better be careful." Mango didn't say anything to this.

Judson Zhang, huh?

He followed her out of curiosity?

She felt that it was not true.

The eyes that looked at her through the darkness were focused and deeply affectionate, just like how Nathaniel used to look at her.

No!

It wasn't like him!

But it was indeed him!

Even though he wasn't the owner of the car, he could be the one that was driving it and following her, right?

Mango had loved Nathaniel for many years. She would recognize his gaze anywhere.

However, Mango kept these thoughts to herself.

It was better to let Rainie and Denver think that it wasn't Nathaniel in case Rainie caused trouble. Although she was now the eldest daughter of the powerful Blu family, their status was still beneath

Nathaniel's.

She did not want to cause the Blu family any trouble because of her.

"Rainie, Mango, who's Nathaniel to you?"

The moment Denver asked this, he was immediately glared at by Rainie.

"If you have nothing useful to say, then don't say it."

Denver quickly covered his mouth and smiled apologetically.

Looking at them acting cautiously, Mango no longer felt as upset as she had just been.

This was her own relationship and her own problem. There was no need to drag them down along with her.

She shook her head, indicating that she was now fine. Rainie was still worried, so she accompanied her for some time. She left Mango's room only after she saw that Mango had fell asleep. Just after Rainie left, Mango opened her eyes.

It was still early right now. How could she have fallen asleep?

Mango stood up and went to the foot of the bed. Then, she looked out the window through a veil.

That mysterious car was still there, but there was now a person in it. A cigarette was flickering by the window, and it was obvious that the person inside was smoking.

The person's finger was long and slender, and it looked a lot like Nathaniel's hand. Perhaps it was Nathaniel's.

Figures.

Was there really a person that Nathaniel couldn't find?

After more than a month, he should have already found her.

Besides, when she was bullied in the mall, who was that capable of standing up for her?

Mango sighed as her eyes stared at the pair of familiar hands a little greedily.

It was only now that she could release the longing in her without a care in the world. Furthermore, this was the only time where she could let go of herself.

Until now, she still believed that Madam Hans's death was her fault. She wouldn't have died if Mango hadn't been her granddaughter.

Things would be different if Mateo hadn't killed Nick.

Alas, there wasn't any use to keep pondering on those "ifs".

As Nathaniel finished smoking his cigarette and wanted to light another, he found that his lighter had run out of fuel. He shook it a few times but it didn't work.

He got out of the car, feeling a little deflated. Subconsciously, he glanced towards Mango's room.

Meanwhile, Mango's body felt as if she had been electrocuted.

It was really him!

He had become thinner and his skin was darker! Plus, he looked tired and defeated!

She started to ache from the bottom of her heart, and the pain spread to her entire body in a flash. She had wanted to run down there to look at him, but she held back. Nathaniel saw that someone was behind the veil and could not help but be stunned.

After waiting for such a long time, he thought that Mango had fallen asleep. However, to his surprise, she was standing there looking at him through the veil.

This time, he was really exposed.

Nathaniel stared at Mango's silhouette quietly, and Mango allowed herself to look at him too. The two of them were separated by a veil, and it seemed to act as a layer of protection, allowing them to express their longing freely.

After some time, it started to drizzle, but Nathaniel was unwilling to go into the car.

The fact that Mango hadn't come over to chase him away meant that she still loved him, right? Could it be that the two of them still had a chance to be together?

Nathaniel wanted to rush recklessly towards her and hug her tightly. However, as he started to move, Mango drew the outer layer of the curtain over her window, cutting off their connection entirely. Meanwhile, Mango was leaning against the windowsill, gasping for breath.

She grasped at her chest, wanting to scream, but she couldn't. No one could understand the suffocating pressure of wanting to scream her lungs out, but being unable to make a sound. She was drowning, and she needed help, but no one was there to save her.

Mango slowly slid to the floor with the front of her shirt bunched up in her hands. Her eyes were blurry with tears.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was forced to stop in his tracks. As he took out his phone to call Mango, he suddenly remembered that Mango was unable to speak.

The pain came crashing into him like waves, endlessly and harshly. He felt as if he was about to go under, and the only person who could save him was Mango. However, she couldn't reach him.

Nathaniel put down the phone, defeated. He knew that there was no point in staying any longer, but he just couldn't bear to leave.

After Mango had finished crying, she turned on the computer and wrote a resignation letter to the Pixelpoly Group.

Since she had been discovered, she didn't want to stay in the Pixelpoly Group anymore. Besides, if he could use the general manager of the Pixelpoly Group to his advantage, it only showed that the Pixelpoly Group had already been acquired by Nathaniel.

She didn't want to work for him.

She was mute, but she didn't need anyone's pity or sympathy.

When Judson received Mango's resignation letter, he was anxious. He quickly phoned Nathaniel and told him.

Nathaniel expected that Mango would shun him, but he didn't think that she would go to such an extent. She was willing to give up her job which helped her survive just because he was exposed?

Right at this moment, Thomas called and told him that he had bought the mall.

Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Find a lawyer and send them to the Blu family's house tomorrow. You can also come and meet Rainie."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye."

Thomas was happy to hear this.

However, Nathaniel was not pleased at all.

Just like that, he stayed under Mango's window silently the entire night.

The next morning, Mango pulled open the curtains and opened the window to find that Nathaniel was no longer there, but cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor where his car had been. It was obvious that he had not slept the entire night.

Mango told herself that she mustn't be swayed, otherwise, she would be the one in pain.

She forced herself to snap out of it.

She was going to start looking for a job again from today onwards, but this time, she couldn't work as a translator anymore.

Mango sighed as she heard noise coming from outside.

She opened the door and went downstairs, only to find that Thomas and a strange man were standing in the living room. Meanwhile, Rainie was trying to make them leave.

Meanwhile, Denver was watching everything unfold from the side. When he saw Mango coming downstairs, he immediately went forward to greet her.

"Mango, why are you up? Did the noise wake you?"

Mango shook her head.

When Thomas saw Mango, he called out to her. "Mrs. Ye."

Mango wanted to express her disapproval, but when she remembered that she couldn't speak, she fell silent.

"Who are you calling 'Mrs. Ye'? Hurry up and leave! We've broken up, so what are you still doing here? I'm telling you, my parents aren't home right now and this is my brother Denver's private residence. If you don't leave now, I'm calling security."

Rainie shouted angrily, but Thomas said casually, "Your security guards might lose to me."

"Thomas! Get out now!"

Rainie was furious right now.

However, Thomas caressed Rainie's head as if comforting a child. Then, he said, "Alright, calm down. I'll tell you all about it later."

After that, he took out a file of documents and walked in front of Mango. Just then, Thomas's phone rang, and he picked it up without thinking.

"Thomas, something has happened to Sir Zion."

Hearing this, Mango's expression darkened instantly.
