The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 382

"Andrea, were you mistaken? Why would Mango ever hurt Aunt Xiao? That's impossible."

However, Andrea suddenly became angry as soon as she heard that.

She pushed Dylan away before she replied in a vicious tone, "Are you suspecting me? Or do you think that I'm slandering Mango? Would I joke about something this serious? My mom is gone, and no one knows where she is! How could you defend Mango? If she didn't do it, then could it be me?"

Tears covered Andrea's face, and Dylan had no idea what to do. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, Don't be mad okay? Stop crying, the least I can do is to look for Aunt Xiao with you."

"You said that you would help me, right?"

Then, Andrea tightly held onto Dylan's arm with a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Hence, he had to go all out when the woman he loved looked at him in this way.

"Yes, I will help you. I'll push aside everything else and try my best to help you."

"Well, then can you help me find where my mother is? No matter what, I need to find her."

"Okay, I'll look into it. Get up, let's go back to the hotel first. You can't stay here, I'll be too worried about you."

Dylan was concerned as he watched people come and go on the street.

In his eyes, Andrea was a weak girl. Although she was reckless and domineering, she had suffered a lot ever since she came to Ocean City. Of course, that was what Andrea told him anyway.

In fact, he never thought that Andrea would lie to him.

Andrea did not say anything else, and she let Dylan take her back to the hotel.

After Dylan had left to investigate Queena's disappearance, Andrea pondered on how she should meet Madam Hans again.

No matter what, she still had to rely on Madam Hans in Ocean City. If not, who else would be willing to help her?

Alas, she couldn't think of a good plan, but she left the hotel quickly when she thought of the items that the mysterious woman had given her.

After Mango and Nathaniel finished their meal over at the Ye's Mansion, they spent some time enjoying each other's company. Nathaniel waited for Mango to wake up before he handed a travel magazine to her and said, "Hey, where would you like to go as our first stop?"

"Has my passport arrived?"

"Soon, maybe over the next few days."

Nathaniel's words caused Mango's mood to lighten up.

It would be a good idea if she could leave this place and travel to somewhere new.

"Have you asked the children where they want to go?"

"Not yet. You get the first pick."

Then, Nathaniel held Mango in his arms.

She smiled and replied, "Let the kids decide. I'm okay with anywhere. As long as it's with all of you, anywhere is heaven to me."

"Wow, how charming. Where did you get such a silver-tongue?"

As Nathaniel spoke, he leaned down to check Mango's mouth.

Then, Mango smiled and dodged him.

"Stop it!"

"You stop it. Come on, let me see."

Nathaniel's curiosity was piqued, and he insisted on going closer to Mango, which made her heartrate skyrocket.

"Don't, you... ugh..."

Before she could finish, Nathaniel kissed her right on the lips.

That gentle kiss intoxicated Mango, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel's breathing was heavy and he was about to lose control. Hence, he pushed Mango away as he panted for breath.

Mango was stunned, but she quickly realized something.

"We still can't do it?"

"I'm sorry!"

Then, Nathaniel quickly went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.

A trace of disappointment could be seen in Mango's eyes. Was Nathaniel's body really unable to recover?

She was worried, but Nathaniel's body was aflame with desire.

This was not going to work out.

Honestly, he felt that he couldn't go on living like this.

What if he really became impotent one day? Alas, Mango's body was still too weak to have intercourse now.

He would have to wait a while longer.

If he really couldn't handle it after another month or so, he'd just use a condom and be gentler with Mango.

As Nathaniel tried to convince himself, he slowly calmed down under the spray of cold water.

By the time he came out, Mango was already gone. Thus, he was afraid that she would overthink things, so he went to search for her and found her tinkering with something in the kitchen.

Then, he had a bad feeling.

Could it be that medicine again?

Honestly, this was almost a form of sweet torture to Nathaniel.

Then, he leaned against the doorframe as he watched Mango flit around the kitchen with adoration on his face.

Meanwhile, Mango sensed that there was someone beside her and turned around to see Nathaniel standing there. After that, she became flustered and blocked the pot from his view.

'When did you come downstairs?"

"Don't try and block it. Even if I didn't see it, I can smell it."

Nathaniel walked in as he spoke, and he hugged Mango from behind.

At that, Mango's face blushed a light pink.

"No, I just want you to get better as soon as possible. I'm just afraid that if you don't use it for a long time, then..."

"What will happen then?"

A refreshing scent emanated off of Nathaniel as he had just showered, and it awakened Mango's desire because he was so close to her.

"Quit messing about, I'm making medicine here."

"Speaking of the medicine, I've always wanted to ask, where did you find this recipe? Aren't you afraid that you'll hurt me if I keep drinking it instead?"

"Impossible! My mother asked for this from a traditional doctor, and he said that it's very effective."

Mango hastily retorted, but she couldn't help but be drawn into his alluring gaze.

God, this man was irresistable!

"Oh, sod off! After the medicine is done, I'll serve it to you upstairs."

Then, Mango quickly pushed Nathaniel aside.

Nathaniel quickly realized that he missed touching Mango once she was no longer in his arms.

At first, he was thinking of dumping the medicine away, but he couldn't bring himself to do it after he saw Mango's effort.

In that case, he would just have to suffer for the next few days.

By that time, Mango would feel better, and he could say that her medicine worked.

As Nathaniel thought of this, he smiled and replied, "Well, I'll be in the study. Call me if you need anything."

"All right."

Then, Mango quickly turned around as she felt desire burning within her. It's only been a few days, yet why did she have those impulses around Nathaniel?

Could the medicine be affecting her as well?

Mango did not notice Nathaniel's doting smile because she lowered her head.

After Nathaniel left, she took a deep breath.

What the hell.

Whoever said that only men had extreme sexual desires was a liar.

Her husband was devilishly good-looking and equally mesmerizing.

After that, Mango doused her face in cold water to steady her nerves before she continued making the medicine.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel went to the study to settle some affairs at work. Although he'd handed the HY Group over to Nick, he still had a few venture capital companies under his belt that he needed to tend to. After all, vacation or not, they still needed money, right?

Soon, Mango brought the medicine over to Nathaniel just as he was in a video conference. Hence, she didn't want to disturb him and turned to leave, but Nathaniel quickly grabbed hold of her wrist and sat her in his lap.

"Quit it. You're in a meeting."

Then, Mango's face went completely red.

All of the company executives were looking right at them.

However, Nathaniel couldn't care less about it as he smiled and said, "So? Isn't it good for them to be introduced to their boss' wife?"

A chorus of agreement erupted from the other side of the computer.

A blush crept up Mango's face once again.

Nowadays, Nathaniel was particularly shameless and he liked showing her off like she was some prized trophy.

"I'll be going, take your medicine!"

Mango couldn't stand being the centre of attention, so she quickly broke free of Nathaniel's grasp and ran out of the room.

Then, Nathaniel's crisp laughter followed her, which made her nearly trip and fall. At the same time, words of congratulation could be heard from the company executives.

Mango smiled faintly as gentle warmth bloomed in her heart.

It felt really good to be loved by a man.

Just as Mango was about to leave the study, she suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, come to the bedroom after your meeting. I'll reapply the ointment on your wounds."

Mango didn't dare to stay any longer and ran away immediately after she said that.

Laughter erupted from the screen.

"Boss, that's not all she's going to do, is it?"

"Boss, it's not a good look to be so infatuated!"

"Boss, isn't it mean to show off your love in front of us? We're stuck in the office all day, and we don't even have time to look for a woman!"

Then, the executives started to make fun of each other.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was in a fantastic mood and he leaned backwards carefully to avoid aggravating his wounds. He smiled and said, "Are you jealous? If so, go and find a girlfriend! I'll be sure to give you time off for your wedding!"

"That's easy for you to say, boss. When do we have the time to do that?"

"That's right. If I'm stuck in the office all day, when will I have the time to find a woman?"

"If you have any disagreements, I can always hand you a letter of termination. By then you'll have plenty of time to look for women."

As soon as Nathaniel finished his words, everyone started to moan and groan.

"Oh no, our boss is going to destroy our livelihoods! Without money, we can't keep a woman at all!"

"Ah, I guess we have no choice. Too bad we're not the boss. Well, back to work!"

After some discussion, all of them got back on track with the topic at hand. However, all the executives could see that Nathaniel was in a great mood.

It seemed like a man, who was in love, was definitely much easier to deal with.

Hence, the meeting dragged on for a long time.

Meanwhile, Mango was bored, so she decided to do something. Obviously, she couldn't always just wait around for Nathaniel.

Thus, she planned to revisit her earlier profession of car design. She'd heard that there was a competition for vehicle design soon, and she wondered if she could sign up for it.

With that thought in mind, Mango turned on the laptop to search for some information. Although she was an experienced designer, it was not enough for her to win the competition. However, the headlines plastered all over the news sent her spiralling into a pit of despair.
