The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 432

"Mrs. Ye, watch out!"

Thomas was the first to find something went wrong.

Mango subconsciously held Rita in her arms when she heard Thomas's screaming.

The comer was a stranger. It was a he with one point seventy-five meters in height. His first attack was against Rita and this had shocked Mango. So, Mango quickly brought Rita to enter the house. She also shut the door rapidly.

"Mom and Dad, you guys keep an eye on Rita."

Mango handed Rita over to her parents while she looked outside through the cat's eyes.

That stranger was a martial arts practitioner and his strength was almost on par with Thomas.

Mango's brows creased slightly.

Susie and John were now under someone else's control. Who would be the one trying to take Rita away from them?

Could it be Nathaniel?

No, no, no!

Nathaniel would never do such a thing.

Even if he were to manipulate Rita for the sake of Mango to cause trouble for the Hans family, he wouldn't allow anyone to snatch his daughter away. For that, Mango was very confident.

The man was soon at a disadvantage. When Thomas was about to catch him, the man feigned a move and Thomas dodged. So, the man took the opportunity to escape.

Thomas wanted to continue chasing after him, but he was stopped by Mango.

"Stop chasing! I don't know if there are any traps in front of us, and you need to protect this place."

Mango was statement was a complete rational analysis.

If the person came against Rita, he would definitely attack her again. Thus, Rita could not be left alone for the time being.

Thomas got back to Mango, then he checked on them. After ensuring that they were alright, he asked, "Does Mrs. Ye know that person?"

"I don't know him. I've never seen him before."

Mango's memory wasn't that bad and she couldn't remember meeting someone like this.

Thomas's expression was a bit serious.

"Mrs. Ye, you either go back with me, or..."

"I don't want to go back for the time being. You can bring some people here."

Mango knew what Thomas was going to say, but at this moment, she just didn't want to go back.

Both Mango's parents were frightened by what just happened.

"What's the matter? You did clarify the photo things clearly, didn't you? So why are they coming after Rita now?"

Mrs. Shen's body trembled slightly as she hugged Rita tightly.

Mango kept consoling her mother when she saw her mother in such a frightening state, "It's okay, mom. The Ye family is influential, and it's inevitable that others will covet it. We just need to be careful."

"These people are so blatant nowadays. How can they snatch a child in broad daylight? They are so heinous."

Mrs. Shen was so scared that she immediately held Rita to walk inside.

Nevertheless, Rita wasn't affected at all. All her attention fell on the drumstick, and her mind was occupied with how to finish the drumstick immediately. Thus, she didn't realize much about what had happened.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

"What's going on?" Rita couldn't help but ask her mother when she saw her mother's worried look.

At this moment, Mango was rather pleased with Rita's lackadaisical personality.

Thomas didn't dare to leave. He quickly called Nathaniel to tell him everything that happened here.

Mango didn't stop him. Instead, she helped her father into the living room and she said with a coquetry expression, "I've made you two worried in the past few days."

"It's good that you are fine. Nathan said that you hid elsewhere while waiting for the opportunity of clarification before coming out. Although we are worried about you, we are more relieved knowing that Nathan is by your side. What are you doing here with the luggage brought back? You quarrel with Nathan?"

Mr. Shen was very careful, and he found the suitcase behind Mango.

Mango replied with a smile, "No, I'm just missing you guys. I want to come back to keep you company. Besides, after going through all these, I want to stay home for a few days."

Mr. Shen didn't voice out any objections while listening to Mango's words.

This child had grown up under his supervision. Though she looked delicate, Mango wouldn't change her mind once she had made her decision. So, if Mango didn't want to talk about it, she would keep silent even if she was asked.

"Well, it’s good to stay at home for a few days and to accompany your mother. Recently, she is worried about you. See, you have lost so much weight."

"Dad, aren't you worried about me?"

Mango continued to ask with a grin.

Mr. Shen shook his head and he said, "Not at all, you're so naughty. Why should I be worried about you?"

"Dad, go on with your stubbornness. Let me make you a pot of tea."

Then, Mango stood up and she went to boil some water.

Mr. Shen looked at her figure and he couldn't help laughing.

When Mrs. Shen came out after cleaning Rita’ s oily hands, she saw her husband sitting alone in the living room. Meanwhile, Mango had gone to the kitchen to boil water. So, Mrs.

Shen said, "You old man, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Your daughter just came back, yet you had ordered her to boil water and make tea for you. What’s wrong with a day without tea?"

"I didn't order her, it’s her who is filial and she insists on making tea for me."

Mr. Shen sounded proud.

However, Mrs. Shen snorted and said, "Smelly, I'll punish you."

Seeing them bickering, Rita quickly approached to cuddle in Mr. Shen's arms. Then, she said in a sweet voice, "Grandfather, you like drinking tea?"

"Yeah, I like it very much."

Mr. Shen liked Rita very much. Her personality was the same as Mango when she was young.

Rita suddenly said, "When I get the red packet at the end of this year, I will get you a lot of tea leaves so that you can drink as much as you want."

"Good, good, good. My granddaughter is more filial."

Mr. Shen was literally on cloud nine by Rita's sweet smile.

Mrs. Shen said jealously, "Rita, so what will you get for me other than buying tea leaves for grandfather?"

"I will get you some new clothes and delicious food. I'll buy whatever you like."

"Good, good, good!"

Both Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were overjoyed.

A happy scenario caught into Mango's view when she came back after boiling the water.

She was very comforted.

"Mom and Dad, don't be fooled by this cheeky one. Perhaps those delicious ones are not even enough for herself to eat after she had bought them."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone in the family knew that Rita was a little glutton. So when Mango said this, they all burst into laughter. Only Rita pouted and she said, "Mommy, you don't have to do this!"

As soon as Nathaniel got informed that someone was going to snatch Rita, he went through the red light while rushing all the way there. However, when he opened the door, never did he expect to see them laughing happily together.

There was a smile on Mango's face. Besides, Rita was a real delight in the Shen family as she kept making her grandparents laughing non-stop.

All of a sudden, he was lost.

Without him, Mango seemed to be living a very good life.

Soon, Rita was the first person to realize Nathan’s presence.

"Daddy!"

Rita got up immediately and she ran towards Nathaniel.

Nathaniel was very excited at that moment.

Indeed, the daughter is an ex-life lover of her father. This seemed correct especially when Rita was the only one who loved him!

Nathaniel hurriedly picked Rita up and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about? Did you make Grandfather and Grandmother laugh so happily?"

"What did they say? They said that I'm a little foodie. Mommy even debunked me. That's too unrighteous."

After Rita got a person to complain, she instantly narrated it in the wrong manner.

Meanwhile, both Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen got up quickly when they saw Nathaniel coming.

"You are here, Nathan. Do you want to have lunch here?"

Nathan looked at Mango. He thought Mango would reject him, yet the latter immediately turned around to take out her father's favorite crimson robe to brew it. It was as if she didn't hear Mrs. Shen's words at all.

Mr. Shen found Nathaniel's gaze was on Mango. Then, Mr. Shen coughed and he said, "If you have no other things to do later, then stay for lunch. Both of you are quite busy these few days until you guys don't have time to eat with us. Let's gather together today and you shall have a few drinks with me during lunch. Oh right, where's Zion? Why didn't he come along?"

"Zion is with my mother at home. I just don't feel at ease, so I come over to check everyone out. Since Dad asked me to have lunch here, then I' II make myself at home, but I didn't bring anything. I'll ask Thomas to buy some good wine," Nathaniel quickly replied.

As he was about to instruct Thomas, he heard Mr. Shen say, "I have good wine, so no need to waste your money. We're family and there's no need to do that. Come, come, have a taste of the tea that Mango has made. This girl hasn't made tea for me for a long time. I don't know if her skills have regressed or not."

Since Mr. Shen said so, Nathaniel followed his instruction naturally.

Nathaniel was very close to Mango, and he could smell the fragrance wafting from her body. However, Nathaniel didn't dare to make the slightest movement as he was afraid that Mango would

suddenly do something.

Nathaniel had never thought of himself as a man who would be strictly controlled by his wife, nor did he think that he was afraid of Mango. However, at this moment, Nathaniel felt very uncertain.

Rita cuddled in Nathaniel's arms and he said, "Daddy, I just ate a big drumstick."

"Really? Aren't you afraid of being fat?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Nathaniel pinched her daughter's chubby face dotingly.

"No, I'm not!"

Seeing that Mr. Shen seemed to have something to tell Nathaniel, Mrs. Shen quickly waved to Rita before saying, "Rita, come. I’ll cook you some delicious food."

"Is it steamed buns?"

Rita immediately shouted out.

"Well, as long as you like it, Grandmother will bring you to cook it."

"Yeah, hooray!"

Rita's eyes lit up as soon as she heard about food. So, she quickly jumped off Nathaniel's knee to follow Mrs. Shen to the kitchen.

There was only Mr. Shen, Nathaniel, and Mango left in the living room.

Mango was silent and she had been making tea carefully.

Tea brewing was an art. Earlier on, Nathaniel had never known that Mango would be so skilled in making tea.

It seemed that there was a lot of influence by Mr. Shen's guidance.

The fragrance of the tea was faint while Nathaniel's gaze always focused on Mango.

Seeing the interaction between the two of them, Father Shen was more or less enlightened.

"Mango, it's almost time. Pour Nathan a cup of wine and let him have a taste of our Great Crimson Gown."

Mango didn't say anything since Mr. Shen had spoken so. She found a teacup and Mango first poured it for Mr. Shen. Then, she poured another cup of tea for Nathaniel.

"I'll do it myself."

Nathaniel wanted to stretch out his hand, but he heard Mango said, "Don't move."

He followed her words.

Father Shen had never seen Nathaniel being so cautious. He frowned slightly but did not say anything.

Mango poured the tea into the cup until it was almost full. Then, she put down the teapot before saying to Mr. Shen, "Dad, I'm going to the kitchen to check on Mom and Rita. You two go on with your chat."

Mango got up and she left right after finishing her words. Since just now, she did not even have a proper look at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel felt a slight pinch in his heart, and the tea in front of him seemed to be difficult to swallow.
