The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 581

"How are you so amazing?"

Mango felt a little embarrassed by his praise.

"I'm not a good person, but I just don't want you to violate the law. I know that you like being in the military very much, and if you had a choice, you would certainly not be involved in such shady business. You still enjoy being a soldier, don't you? I never understood why you suddenly retired when you've been doing so well in there. They said that it was because you were injured while fighting the drug traffickers in Nakasara. But I am your wife, and I am very clear about your physical condition. Today, I finally discovered that you were ordered to retire. In that case, how could I bear to stain your distinguished legacy?"

"You're not a stain. On the contrary, you're the biggest hope in my life. I promised to give them the blueprint, but I never said that it was the one designed for the military."

"What do you mean?"

Mango felt a little confused.

Nathaniel smiled and said, "I've designed a new tank blueprint, and Zion passed it to Noah after he printed it. Thomas has already brought it back, and Noah asked my commanding officers for instructions. Hence, they have agreed to let me use this to lure out the mastermind behind the scenes. Those who are keeping an eye on military secrets must not have good intentions. This is a threat to national security, and the military is also hoping to capture them. So, I never violated my orders."

"Really?"

"Of course, but I want to ask for your help with something."

Nathaniel's words caused Mango to be slightly taken aback.

"Me? What can I do for you?"

"It's what you've always been doing."

As he spoke, Nathaniel took out the blueprint and handed it over to Mango.

"Look at it, do you see any problems?"

"You're asking me to check for issues?"

Frankly, Mango was a little surprised.

She knew that he was a very talented designer. Her decision to enter the field of vehicle design was partly due to Nathaniel's influence.

Frankly, Nathaniel was just humble. If he took part in the national design competition, the other participants wouldn't stand a chance.

And now, he was allowing her to find fault with his designs? Hence, Mango felt herself getting nervous.

"You're kidding right?"

"No, I came up with this design when you were in the operating room. It's not perfect, and there are still some unrefined details. You're a designer as well, so tell me where I should improve."

Nathaniel's words stunned Mango.

"How am I supposed to do that? I'm not in the military, so I don't know how to design a tank."

"I'm not asking you to do that. I want to patent this blueprint before I give it to them. This will be something we created as husband and wife, so I want a copy to keep as a souvenir."

Then, Nathaniel stated his intentions clearly.

Mango was astonished and surprised at the same time.

"Are you saying that this blueprint will be completed by the both of us? And you will put it into production?"

"Can I do that?"

Upon hearing that, Mango's face lit up with joy.

"Of course you can!"

"Don't exhaust yourself though. I promised to give it to them, but I didn't say when. Besides, if we're going to do this, then we might as well do it right. Boston is in Canada for a meeting and he needs some time to get back. Thus, we have time to do plenty of stuff. I sought your input for this because I thought you would be too bored just sitting at home. However, if this tires you out, I'll take it back."

"Don't!"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango immediately held onto the blueprint and refused to let go. Her childish behaviour caused Nathaniel to burst into laughter.

"Now that my family is a shadow of its former self, don't you regret marrying me? I still have a venture capital company, but the Ye Family is not as prosperous as it used to be."

Nathaniel's words made Mango feel a little annoyed.

She glared at Nathaniel and said, "I married you not for the money. Besides, I am also a designer. I can take care of you."

"You're going to support me?"

It was the first time that Nathaniel heard a woman say that she wanted to take care of him.

How many people were willing to betray their own dignity to get their hands on the Ye Family's power and wealth? No one had ever said that they would take care of him, the so-called lord of Ocean City.

However, looking at Mango in front of him, Nathaniel could see the passion and sincerity radiating off her.

He had almost lost such a good woman.

Then, Nathaniel stroked her head again and said softly, "Okay, I'm looking forward to the day you get to take care of me."

As he spoke, he took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Mango.

Mango was taken aback for a moment. After glancing at the contents, she was so shocked that she dropped the document on the bed as her hands trembled.

"This... I... What..."

"It's real!"

Nathaniel had given her a contract showing his ownership often oil fields in Akastan.

Mango could not fathom how much wealth was contained within these oil fields.

She looked at Nathaniel in surprise as she felt that everything was so surreal.

Seeing her like this, Nathaniel smiled happily.

"Did I scare you?" "Didn't you say that 80% of the Ye family's wealth was donated?" "Yes, I donated it. This is the wealth that I created later on. Isn't your husband amazing?"

Right now, Nathaniel was fishing for praise.

However, Mango looked at him as if he had grown two heads and said, "How is that possible? The oil fields in Akastan are so expensive. How can you possibly have ten of them?"

"There's nothing your husband can't do. When I was in the military, I took part in foreign projects and I accidentally saved the prince of Akastan once. Their king gifted me an oil mine to thank me, but I refused it at the time as I was still a soldier. Later when I took over the Ye Family, there was still some surplus even after donating our assets, so I spent it all on buying ten oil mines from the king of Akastan."

Nathaniel's charisma was not something that most ordinary people had.

Although he saved the prince, he would not be able to buy the oil mines without the king's approval no matter how much money he had.
