The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 261

"What...what are you doing? Let me remind you that I’m your sister in law! Nick, don't do anything that you'll regret!"

Nathaniel's imposing demeanor frightened Mango. Oh my god!

How could two brothers have the exact same personality?

Both of them were prone to losing their temper easily.

However, she hadn't said anything to offend him, did she?

Could it be that he disliked hearing Mango say that he looked very similar to Nathaniel?

Then, Mango quickly spoke as she thought of this point, "Fine, then my husband is the one who looks like you, okay?"

Nathaniel's expression darkened so much that it was almost comical.

Nathaniel had missed her so much, but how could Mango be so heartless as to mistake him for Nick?

Had Mango's brain malfunctioned?

Mango had someone relay the message to Nathaniel that she was undergoing training here, so was it possible that Nick was the one who came instead of him?

Nathaniel became more upset the more he thought of this as he hadn't eaten nor slept well these past few days, but Mango had decided to undergo training here without even telling him. Furthermore, she only recently remembered to send him a message and now Mango was mistaking him for someone else.

"Hey, didn’t I just tell you that I'm your sister in law, so why are you still walking towards me? Let go of me! I’m warning you, don't think you can touch me just because you have a good relationship with your brother. Furthermore, I’m your... Ah!”

Before Mango could finish her sentence, Nathaniel flung her over his shoulder and she crashed onto the floor into a heap.

"Do remember that this is the correct technique to perform a shoulder throw."

Nathaniel’s voice was cold as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Mango was in so much pain that she could not feel her bone anymore.

"How could you just do that without any warning? You should've at least let me prepare for it as I’m still new at this, okay? Seriously, you’re not gentle at all, so how could you expect to find a girlfriend?"

Right now, Mango was thoroughly convinced that the person in front of her was Nick Ye.

In fact, Nathaniel could never bear to do this to her.

Perhaps she missed Nathaniel way too much, and she nearly mistook Nick for Nathaniel when he approached her as their mannerisms were so alike. However, Mango's assumptions were shattered the moment she was thrown to the floor. "Get up!"

Nathaniel's expression was as frigid as ice, and it scared Mango.

Mango grumbled bitterly in her heart as she rubbed her sore waist.

"If I'd known any better, then I wouldn't have asked him to remove his headgear. At least I wouldn’t have seen his face and he would've thrown me so hard for no reason."

Frankly, she had not even paid any attention to how Nathaniel attacked her earlier.

Mango stood up and she was feeling annoyed. But before she could say anything else, Nathaniel’s attacks started once again.

"Hey, aren’t you supposed to teach me how to fight? Don't just keep throwing me to the ground! Ouch!"

Nathaniel beat Mango up quite mercilessly.

To be honest, Nathaniel was very reluctant to hit Mango, but he could not afford to be gentle if he wanted Mango to learn quickly.

Since Mango assumed that he was Nick, then he would treat Mango like any other student.

Zack couldn't stop his lips from curling up into an amused smile as he witnessed this.

He couldn’t remember the last time Nathaniel had beaten anyone up so savagely since it had been so long.

Over here, it was common knowledge that the coaches were harshest to the trainees that they favored most. It was because the coaches feared that their beloved trainees would face much harsher beatings in the outside world.

If Mango wanted to learn how to fight, she had to first learn how to take a punch.

Right now, Mango had no idea that this concept even existed, but she felt like she was dying due to unbearable pain.

Mango was almost beaten to a pulp, and her uncoordinated defenses were ineffective against Nathaniel's beatings.

At first, Mango wanted to complain but in the end, she didn't even have the energy to do so.

Instead, she laid on the ground panted and she lacked the energy to even stand up.

Distress flashed in Nathaniel's eyes as he took in Mango's exhausted state, but he said coldly, "Do you still intend on learning how to fight? If so, then you have to learn how to endure attacks from other people. A delicate girl like you is only fit for a life of luxury as someone who does facials, medicare, and gossips with the other rich ladies. Why do you insist on torturing yourself like this?"

Mango was exhausted, but she couldn’t help rolling her eyes when she heard Nathaniel envision her future for her, "Oh please, it’s bad enough that Nathaniel thinks that my life should be like that, but you're part of the Dark Night Empire! If I turn out to be just like you said, how could I ever qualify to become the Madam of the Empire? Plus, how could I remain a weak woman when Madam Ye essentially handed the Empire, the HY Group, the entire Ye Family, and even Nathan’s life to me? Do I wait for him to save me every time I'm in danger? Madam Ye said that the purpose of my existence is to protect Nathan and dark night. Since this is the case, I can't be afraid of pain and suffering. Furthermore, the incident on the cargo ship made me realize that something very serious is going on."

"What's the matter?"

Nathaniel asked without even thinking and he didn't expect an answer, but Mango told him anyway.

“I overheard some sailors on the boat were discussing that someone had shipped a load of goods from the nearby Colliqer County under the name of the Ye Family. Flowever, that particular shipment wasn't unloaded at the Ocean City or Colliqer County, but it was immediately taken away by someone the moment it came ashore, so obviously, that wasn’t the first time something like this had happened. I heard that the person who accepted the goods was a high-ranking member of the Ye Family."

Nathaniel's eyes narrowed at Mango's statement. "What do you mean?"

Mango took the opportunity to catch her breath and rest while she was talking to Nathaniel.

Then, she sat on her floor with a gloomy look in her eyes as she said, "What I mean is that a high- ranking member of the Ye Family is colluding with someone outside, I still don't know the reason but I’ m sure that Nathan isn't familiar with these people. So, I have to find out who these people are before he realizes something is amiss. As you may know, the Ye Family is in dire straits right now, so do you happen to know where your uncle is? I heard from Madam Ye that your uncle wants to take over the Dark Night Empire, so is it possible that he might attack me since I'm the madam of the Empire? Honestly, I need to solve this issue before Nathan realizes what's happening. He's already worried about our children, let alone the internal turmoil in the Ye Family. I just can’t do anything about it, so I have to become stronger as soon as possible."

After Mango finished speaking, her eyes flashed with determination as she looked at Nathaniel before she stood up from the ground.

Mango stumbled a little, but she said firmly, "Come on, let's continue training."

Nathaniel was shocked.

He had always assumed that the incident in the United States had spurred Mango to come here for training, but instead, he never expected her to do it for the sake of the Ye Family and himself!

So, Mango actually discovered that a lot of things were going on, but why did she shoulder this burden alone?

Ah, Mango was adorably naive, and it upset Nathaniel greatly!

Nathaniel looked at Mango, who was on the verge of collapse, and he asked with concern, "Are you sure you can continue?"

"Absolutely."

Mango gritted her teeth and she pushed all her exhaustion away.

What she lacked was time, and she couldn't waste any more time being dramatic.

Nathaniel attacked once again, but this time he held back his strength. Nevertheless, Mango still collapsed to the floor in a heap.

She lay weakly on the floor as she was gasping for breath with exhaustion.

Upon seeing her condition, he bent down with heartbroken while hugging her.

However, Mango struggled against him.

"Stop, I'll walk by myself after I’ve caught my breath. You're my brother-in-law, and you should know that your elder brother’s quite petty, so I have to be careful even if he can't see what we're doing here. Honestly, I wouldn't want to know what he’ll do when he gets into one of his jealous rages. So, thank you for being so kind to me, but please put me down."

Mango's voice carried a hint of annoyance.

At the same time, Nathaniel was irritated as well.

Nathaniel was relieved to note that Mango still remembered him even if she said he was petty, but had Mango gone blind? How could she still mistake him for someone else at this point?

Hence, Nathaniel did not put her down and he carried her forward with a stoic look on his face.

"Hey, Nick, did you hear what I just said? Your brother..."

"Shut up!"

Nathaniel glared at Mango coldly and it frightened her so much that she immediately shut up. Nick’s temper was horrid!

D*mn, his temper was simply a match for Nathaniel.

Mango mumbled internally as she complained, but she remained silent.

To make matters worse, her entire body was engulfed in bone-aching pain.

This man really was a ruthless man as he was so rough with his attacks.

Thus, Mango decided not to struggle anymore and she leaned her head against Nathaniel's chest. When she listened to his heartbeat, she felt that the person in front of her was Nathaniel, the husband that she had missed dearly.

"Nick, I think it's better if you have headgear on the next time we train because I'm afraid that I can't help but mistake you for my husband. To be honest,

I really miss him and I have no idea how he’s doing right now. Would he have gone mad after he knew that I've fallen into the ocean? Since I'm now an illegal immigrant, there's still a ton of problems that I have to solve once I leave this camp. What sins did your brother commit in his past life to be stuck with a woman like me? Honestly, I think I might’ve been the savior of the galaxy in my past life to be so lucky to have found your brother in this life. Ah... I really...miss him."

Mango's voice softened involuntarily and it carried a hint of tears.

On the other hand, Nathaniel felt a sharp pain stab his chest.

'Stop talking and rest for a moment if you're tired." "However, you’ll leave after I go home, right? I guess I won’t be able to see you again. Although I know that you're not your elder brother, I still

hope that I can see you more often, at least you’re more real than Nathaniel, which I have in my mind."

Mango muttered in a low voice.

Nathaniel sighed softly and shook his head before he took her to a spare room to rest.

Meanwhile, Zack had already sent someone to bring pain ointment to them.

After Nathaniel placed Mango on the bed and he accepted the ointment from the person who delivered it, Nathaniel immediately shut the door in his face.

Mango thought Nathaniel had left after she heard the door slam. After all, there had to be boundaries between them and he could not stay in her room.

She was exhausted and her body ached painfully all over, so Mango wanted nothing more than to collapse into a deep sleep. However, she couldn’t stand the scent of sweat that clung to her body.

After that, Mango took off her clothes with her eyes closed and she threw them onto the chair beside her.

With her eyes still closed, she walked to the bathroom as she disrobed until she was left in her underwear. At this time, Nathaniel turned around and he was served with this delectable vision in front of him.

Nathaniel was aroused and his eyes darkened before he rushed forward and swept Mango up in his arms. However, he frightened Mango so much that she shrieked loudly.
