The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 653

"I’m going to open the door!"

Mango quickly stood up and ran to it.

Looking at Mango running away, Nathaniel thought she was very adorable. It was as if they had returned to their university years. Back then, Mango had never dared to look at him in the eye, and she had always been secretly looking at him. Each time he looked at her, she would always run away just like she did just now.

Nathaniel felt relaxed. Now that he was here, he felt that everything had changed.

That was the taste of love.

Nathaniel laid comfortably on the chair and watched Mango open the door. However, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

He quickly stood up and pulled Mango behind him. "What's the matter?" He asked the visitor.

"Hello, sir, I'm from a nearby travel agency. Just here to ask if you need any help?"

It was a girl who seemed to have just graduated from university.

Nathaniel looked at her as if he was meeting another Mango.

He said flatly, "No, it's not necessary. We've already decided on a travel agency."

"Sir, it's like this. We are an autonomous region and many villages have their own administrative department. You are a visitor. If you find an unreliable agency, you will suffer terrible losses. Our agency is not the same. We operate according to federal laws..."

"Well, we don't want it. Thank you."

Nathaniel felt that the girl was too noisy and quickly interrupted her.

"My wife has already decided on the agency and that's it."

After that, he closed the door directly.

Mango blushed a little when he called her his wife. She broke free from Nathaniel's restraints and ran to take a bath alone.

Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh at her reaction.

In the evening, Nathaniel didn't force Mango to sleep on the same bed with him. Instead, he gave the bed to Mango and slept on the sofa.

Mango looked at his tall figure nestling on the sofa and couldn't help but hesitate.

What if she asked Nathaniel to come up?

Should she just let him sleep on the sofa like that?

Nathaniel looked at the awkward expression in

Mango's eyes and smiled. "What's wrong? Are you planning to show me mercy and let me stay with you?"

Mango saw the glint in Nathaniel's eyes and quickly pulled the blanket over her to cover herself. She did not give any response.

Nathaniel knew that even if he slept with Mango now, she wouldn't have any objections to it. However, he still held himself back.

There would be plenty of time in the future, so he was not in a hurry.

Nathaniel turned off the lights in the bedroom and went back to the sofa.

When Mango saw that Nathaniel hadn't come up, she heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, there was also a hint of disappointment.

Noticing the change in her mood, Mango immediately stopped herself.

What was there to be disappointed about?

Did she really expect to have something more between them?

Mango quickly covered her head and forced herself to sleep.

However, the more she did so, the more she could not fall asleep. On the contrary, she heard Nathaniel's steady breathing.

He was asleep?

Mango was a little surprised.

Thinking about it carefully, Nathaniel had suffered a lot along the way. Growing up, this must be his first time sitting in economy class for such a long flight. It was normal for him to be tired now.

Upon realizing that Nathaniel had fallen asleep, Mango finally relaxed completely.

Without wearing her shoes, she walked towards Nathaniel barefoot.

She did not turn on the lights, but she could still see Nathaniel's face clearly.

Sitting in front of Nathaniel's sofa, Mango looked at him and even reached out to touch Nathaniel's face. However, when she was a few centimeters away from it, she stopped.

Following that, Mango let out a sigh.

She took the quilt and covered Nathaniel's body with it. She then took his clothes to the bathroom to wash.

Mango didn't notice that Nathaniel had already opened his eyes by the time she got up.

He looked at her busy figure, and it was as if they were still in the Ye family home.

At the time, Mango had prepared everything for him in the same way, but now, she could only do this when he was asleep.

Noticing that Mango was barefoot, Nathaniel wanted to get up and walk over with her slippers in hand. However, as soon as Mango turned around, Nathaniel stopped his movements subconsciously and quickly closed his eyes.

He knew that Mango didn't want things to go back to how it was before. Once he woke up, everything would go downhill.

Nathaniel continued to pretend to be asleep.

Mango walked over and took a look. When she saw that Nathaniel's blanket had fallen to the ground, she quickly bent down and picked it up. However, as she was lifting it up, she let out a muffled groan and the blanket slipped out of her grasp.

She hugged her left hand, a bitter look flashed across her face.

Then, Nathaniel felt the weight of the blanket on his body. He took advantage of the moment to squint his eyes and take a look, only to see Mango hugging her left hand. It was as if she was in some kind of pain.

He frowned slightly.

He still remembered that Mango's arm was injured from blocking an attack for him. Could it be that there were some lingering aftereffects?

Nathaniel's brows were tightly furrowed.

Mango took a while to calm down and feel better. However, she could only use her right hand to pick up the blanket and cover Nathaniel's body with it singlehandedly. Then, she tidied herself up and went back to the bed to lie down.

Because of the fatigue from the flight, Mango soon fell asleep.

It wasn't until Mango had fallen asleep that Nathaniel finally opened his eyes.

He looked at Mango's feet and hurriedly fetched a basin of warm water. He soaked a towel in it and then wiped Mango's feet.

However, Mango was too tired and she didn't wake up.

After Nathaniel wiped her feet dry, he rubbed his hands and started massaging Mango's soles.

Mango turned around comfortably and continued to sleep.

After Nathaniel massaged Mango, he frowned slightly when he saw Mango's weak left arm.
