"Sir, are you really..."
"Just do as I said. I have told you Auntie Zhang, just serve her as if she is Mrs. Ye."
Nathaniel's tone of voice was a little heavy.
Auntie Zhang was puzzled and asked, "Sir, who is she exactly? Even if you want to get remarried, you needn't throw away all the things that belonged to Mrs. Ye, right?"
Nathaniel rubbed his temples, sighed and said, "Pack up all the things and take them to the warehouse, find a dry place to put them away."
"Sir..."
Auntie Zhang couldn't bear to see Nathaniel's grievance.
Since when had Nathaniel, who had always been the golden child, compromised for the sake of a woman? Even when his wife back then, Mango, had given him so much love, and she still wasn't able to make him lower his stance, was she?
"How can this Katherine!"
Auntie Zhang's eyes were full off tears. Apparently, she was distressed.
Nathaniel's feeling for Auntie Zhang was different from that for old Madam Ye. After old Madam Ye gave birth to him, Old Mr. Ye had passed away, and the vast Infiniverse Group fell right on old Madam Ye's shoulders. At that time, old Madam Ye was busy running the company and dealing with the old shareholders' schemes, so she didn't have time for Nathaniel at all. Nathaniel couldn't recognize her own mother for a very long time. He only remembered that it was Auntie Zhang who had been with him every day, comforting him and taking care of him. Later, after old Madam Ye stabilized the company, she finally had the energy to look after her own son, only to find that her son was not close to her, and he was only close to Auntie Zhang. Because of this, old Madam Ye was not happy with it and she even thought about laying off Auntie Zhang.
Later, Nathaniel begged her repeatedly to keep Auntie Zhang, but when old Madam Ye saw that she really cared about Nathaniel, she then was relieved to hand her son to her.
Looking at the sad face of this woman who had special significance to him, Nathaniel said with a rare soft voice, "Auntie Zhang, I know what I am doing. You knew better than anyone how good Mango was to me at that time. But I didn't know that. I even wasted so many years and then I lost her. Now I finally have met Katherine, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I don't want to leave any regrets. Auntie Zhang, do you understand? She is the only woman I commit to in my life! She is also the daughter- in- law of Ye Family!"
Auntie Zhang's body trembled slightly.
She rarely heard Nathaniel say such words, but since he already said it, it meant that Katherine's status in Ye family had been confirmed. Although she felt it was unfair for Nathaniel to do such thing to Mango, Auntie Zhang still let out a sigh and left. She started to arrange for someone to take actions according to Mango's instructions.
Mango had wanted to make things difficult for Nathaniel in the beginning. She didn't believe that a man who had been used to one bedroom for eight years would agree for her to change its style. But what she didn't expect was that Nathaniel actually agreed!
Watching Auntie Zhang bring the servants in and out of the room carrying all the things she had pulled off, and then changed into the bright red color that she had mentioned, Mango felt extremely uncomfortable.
She was going to make things difficult for others in the beginning, but now, looking at the room full of bright red colors, she felt as if it was really a wedding night. She felt even worse!
"I suddenly regret. I find these colors very dazzling. Change them all. Anything but bright red colors."
Mango knew that she was especially annoying at the moment. But so what? If Nathaniel could hate her, wouldn't that be even better?
Or maybe she just wanted to find out how much Nathaniel would compromise!
He used to be such a cold and arrogant man, but now, what kind of plan did he have?
Auntie Zhang was almost driven mad by Mango's words.
The servants in the house had already arranged the room according to her instructions, and then she wanted to change again by saying some words. This was simply absurd!
Just as Auntie Zhang was about to lose her temper, Nathaniel came in.
"As long as it is something you like, even if I have to pick the stars from the sky for you, I am willing to do so."
Mango suddenly felt a layer of goosebumps all over her body.
She even suspected that Nathaniel's soul had also been changed.
Otherwise, why would such a cold-blooded man say such mushy words?
"Mr. Ye, has anyone told you that you are very cheesy?"
"No, you are the first one."
Nathaniel's smile was a little gentle, and it looked like the warm sun on the iceberg, which suddenly warmed people's hearts.
Mango hurriedly turned her head away and said in a low voice, "I just want to see how would it look like after the change of style."
"Well, whatever you like."
Nathaniel told people to rearrange patiently. Although it was different from before, it was still primarily simple and light-colored.
After all these drama, Mango felt a little hungry.
"I'm hungry. When are we going to eat?"
Hearing her question, Auntie Zhang couldn't stand it anymore, looking all fierce. But for the sake of Nathaniel, she had to say in a low voice, "I'll cook now."
"Remember, I don't eat spicy food. I don't eat sour food, I don't eat sweet food and I don't eat salty food. As for other dishes, you can do whatever you want."
Upon hearing Shen's words, Auntie Zhang almost lost her temper.
She didn't eat anything sweet, bitter, sour and spicy. What did she mean by doing whatever I want?
"Sir, I can't cook this meal!"
Auntie Zhang immediately gave up.
Nathaniel could tell that Mango was feeling upset because of Zion's incident. She was deliberately looking for trouble.
He took off his coat and said calmly, "I'll cook."
Mango and Auntie Zhang were both stunned when they heard these words.
"Sir, how can you do that? Let me do it."
Auntie Zhang immediately rushed forward to take over the job of cooking, and Mango quickly came back to her senses.
"Mr. Ye, is your food edible? Do I need to buy insurance in advance?"
These words were absolutely ironic!
Auntie Zhang glared at her angrily.
