The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1045

"Why does it look like you're busier than me?"

Thomas was reluctant to let Rainie go, so he continued to hold her in his arm. In fact, he really wished that he didn't have to go to work at this hour.

He continued to pester Rainie, so she poked his nose and smiled in amusement. "Stop it, will you? Do you think you're an ancient emperor? Well, you despise me for not being able to serve you alone, and you want to have other concubines, don't you?"

"Of course not, you're my one and only wife!"

Rainie was pleased to hear how Thomas was flattering her. After all, she was a woman that loved to hear praises.

"Forget it. I'll get going now. Ares is calling me, so he probably urging me to go back to record songs. Everyone has put in great efforts to make this album a hit. Besides, Mango's production company has just started, and it needs my help. That's the least I can do for her."

Rainie looked at Thomas seriously and said.

Thomas knew her like the back of his hand. He knew that once she decided to do something, she would go all out.

"Alright, we will get married once we both have more free time. I heard that Walter tied the knot, but we are way behind him. What a pity!"

Rainie couldn't help but laugh after hearing Thomas' complaints and said, "Haha! What are you competing with him for?"

"Why can't I do that? After all, he only met Deborah a short while ago, and they're married now! What's more, we've been together for years, so it's about time we get married."

"Knock it off! Where's your marriage proposal? After all, I'm not Deborah, so I guess you'll have to wait a little longer."

After saying that, Rainie pushed him away and walked out of the door.

"I'll walk you out then."

Thomas quickly got dressed and caught up with her.

On the other hand, Nathaniel had no idea what Thomas was going through. He threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and travelled downtown to buy a cake for Mango.

Mango smelled the aroma of food after she woke up from her nap.

"What is it? It smells so good!"

She went downstairs and saw Nathaniel reading newspapers on the couch. So, she asked this question.

Nathaniel folded the newspaper he was holding with a smile and said, "I cooked some duck soup for you, but it's boiling now. So, I think you can drink it at night."

"Duck soup? Did you buy it from the supermarket?"

"Nah, it's fresh. I got it from the wet market."

Nathaniel smiled as he answered her question. Then, Mango immediately leaned over. She reached out her hand and wrapped it around his neck and sat on his thigh like a spoiled child before saying, "Hmm, how do you think I should repay you?"

"Hey! Stop fooling around!"

Nathaniel pulled her arms down, but he was reluctant to drive her away.

Then, Mango complained with displeasure, "What's wrong? Since we can't make love, you're not allowing me to sit on you now?"

"What? Can't you phrase it in a proper way? Hah, Mango! I'll teach you a lesson once this period is over!" "Meh!"

Mango gave him a disdain look.

Meanwhile, Nathaniel was upset after hearing this.

How dare she tease him?

"Just you wait!"

"Hehe. Let's see what happens!"

After that, Mango turned and immediately discovered the cake box.

"Did you buy that for your daughter?"

"Nah, I bought it for you. Eat it quickly. Once Rita comes back, you won't get to eat anything!"

Nathaniel stretched out his hand and handed the cake to her as he said this.

Looking at the package on the box, Mango said in surprise, "What? Did you make a trip downtown on purpose to buy these two slices of cake?"

"Well, I didn't go there on purpose. Besides, I remembered that you like this chestnut cake, right?"

Nathaniel smiled warmly, and Mango was immediately delighted.

What was the purpose of having a husband?

Of course, he should buy her food!

What would Nathaniel do if he knew that he could bribe her with only two pieces of cake.?

Mango took the cake and looked at it, and she found out that this was indeed her favourite chestnut cake. Hence, she didn't wait any longer and gobbled it down in just a few bites in an unladylike manner.

Nathaniel had been watching her lovingly, and he immediately handed her a glass of water once she was done.

"Why are you eating in such a hurry? No one will take it away from you."

"Urgh! I'm afraid of Rita. That glutton will definitely eat it all up when she sees it."

Mango spoke as she ate, and suddenly, she started choking. Thus, Nathaniel quickly handed her the water.

She drank a few mouthfuls of water and finally felt, better.

"Eat slowly. Besides, Rita will not be back anytime soon."

Nathaniel patted her back with a worried expression on his face.

Mango hurriedly said, "Can you be gentler? My injuries haven't healed fully yet."

"I am doing it gently!"

Nathaniel said hurriedly.

Just as Mango was about to say something, she received a call from Rainie.

"Mango, I've already returned to B City because they needed to finish the recordings urgently. I heard that an actress in your company got into a scandal. Have you settled it yet?"

Mango sighed and said, "Not yet. Clarissa should have collected enough evidence, so we can hold a press conference to clarify it then."

"What? How can you do nothing? This news is all over the place, and the netizens are scolding her for being a heartless woman. You'd better deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise, things might get ugly. By the way, is it possible that someone is deliberately making trouble behind the scenes? After all, this is too much of a coincidence! It happened right after she arrived at our company."

Rainie was confused about this.

However, Mango said indifferently, "No matter who did it, I'm planning to take it one step at a time. After all, I'll do what it takes to settle this issue, so let's think about everything else later."

"Wow, you're so calm now!"

"What else can I do about it? Should I worry about it constantly? I can't do that! Besides, I knew that I would often some people once I opened a company, but it's not like I can stop them from coming after me, right? Let's see how this goes then."
