The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 21

Mango and Rainie quickly went through the paperwork of discharge procedures. Because they were both worried about Zion, they quickly returned to their residence. At this time, Zion had already got up, tidied himself up, and was preparing breakfast.

"You're back! I was so worried about you!"

Zion rushed to Mango and hugged her, dropping everything he was doing.

Rainie wiped off tears from her eye, started a new topic by pointing to the breakfast he made: lean pork with preserved eggs porridge and the hot steamed bun. She said warmly, "little money, did you make this for me?"

Zion replied sarcastically, "No, a tooth fairy waved her wand and summoned it from nowhere. Of cause I made it. But not for you, for my mom. Well, I suppose you can have some, no one is stopping you..."

"What a good boy." Rainie hugged Zion before he finished. For the first time, she enjoyed the brat's joke.

Mango smiled in tears and kissed Zion's forehead and further believed that this angel was the best gift from God. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Well seems we don't have to class on Saturday. Mom is fine. You can go play after breakfast." Mango added. Mango hoped that the boy had his own life, so she came back with her son and handed Zion to Rainie. She was very relieved.

Zion wouldn't let go of Mango's hand. With a smile on his face, he pulled Mango to the kitchen table. He said gently, "Mommy, I'll accompany you for dinner first, then I have to go out today. I have an appointment with my classmate at his place. You will allow me, right?"

Looking at her son's beautiful eyes, Mango couldn't say a word to refuse.

"Sure you can. But you have to be careful. Call me whenever you need help."

"Okay."

Zion smiled like an angel.

Rainie was so happy to see this picture, even a little jealous. She was about to leave the mother and son along, but in the end, had to stay since Mango insisted/

After the three had their breakfast, Zion was ready to go for his "appointment".

Rainie proposed to give him a ride, Zion certainly refused.

"Let him go by himself. He'll do fine."

Mango was very confident in her son.

Rainie showed some worries, "Mango, he is only a four-year-old."

"In America, when he was 3, he could go to the supermarket alone for groceries. When he turned 4, he could cross half of the Chinatown by himself. Don't underestimate Zion. He is maturer than he looks. Don't worry, this is Ocean City, not like in the US, full of creeps around and all."

Rainie could not understand Mango's statement and looked at her in surprise. When she saw Mango's eyes full of confidence in her son, Rainie tried to calm down, but still looked outside from time to time.

Mango finished eating and took the medicine. When she turned on the TV, a piece of news caught her attention.

Macy Cho actually apologized to her in public in the media!

"Miss Katherine Shen, I'm sorry. It's my fault... all my fault. I know my reckless action embarrassed you. Catherine, if you are watching this, I beg you to forgive me. If it makes you feel better, you can beat me or scold me. I only hope you don't vent your anger on Infiniverse Group or abandon the cooperation with it. My soulmate and life partner, Mr. Nathaniel Ye, as the president of Infiniverse Group, cares about this cooperation very much. And he is concerned about the personal tiff between you and me would sabotage the company, further the interest of Ocean City. I promise to you, Catherine, that I'm open to any terms from you if only you can go back to work at the office on Monday."

Macy's PR speech was well scripted and clearly polished with skills, but Rainie didn't buy it. She snorted, "It's not an apology. It's a moral abduction. Everyone in the City knows that Macy is from the Ye family. Who is she doing this for? On the surface, she apologized to you, but in fact, she is pushing all the blame on you. Public stunt, puff."

"It is a smart move." Mango sneered, "Patient, Rainie."

Mango turned off the TV and thought to herself, as if she didn't care about Macy's schemes.

"Why are you still so simple? Infiniverse Group provided jobs for half the city, now those stakeholders, investors, employees, even their family members will blame you. They will be thinking that you are making a scene now. Plus, do you know that Nathan Ye has been single for the past few years, and women in Ocean City are his fans. They probably want to eat you alive now. If you don't fight back, I am really afraid that you can't escape unscathed after this.""

Rainie was so anxious when seeing Mango was unconcerned.

Mango stood up with a smile, patted Rainie on the shoulder, "Well, don't worry about me. Do you think I am still like five years ago? Macy Cho wants to fight with me, she is not prepared. Don't

worry, I will let Nathan pick me up personally."

After that, Mango turned back to her room, leaving Rainie alone in the room.

Nathan Ye, the most powerful man in the city, a millionaire playboy, came to pick her up personally?

"For real?"

With the Ye's nature, how could that be possible?
