Chapter 969


    "Hi, I want to buy a zither. Can you rmend one that would be suitable for me?"


    Mango red at Rainie and hurriedly opened her mouth.


    Her attitude was refined and courteous. Thus, Pinksy was ashamed of herself.


    "Sure, may I ask what price range you''re looking at?"


    "I don''t really have a budget. I''m fine with it as long as it''s a high-quality one."


    Mango could tell that Pinksy probably really needed the money.


    Pinksy ignored Rainie''s probing gaze as much as she could and brought Mango to the area tagged


    with higher prices.


    "The price of the zither here are higher, but the quality of these instruments is good. These strings


    will not snap easily too."


    "Pinksy, why are you here?"


    There were fewer people here, and Rainie could not hide her true intentions anymore, so she


    asked.


    Pinksy was confounded.


    She knew Rainie.


    Ares said that he had found an artist that he wanted to train and support, so the whole team would


    need to support her.


    Pinksy did not want to have any conflict with Rainie. After all, she could not offend anyone that was


    working with Ares. However, Pinksy had her own troubles.


    "Miss Blu, I know it''s my fault that I quit the team halfway, but I really need the money."


    Rainie did not know how to what to say after hearing Pinksy''s words.


    Pinksy seemed sincere, and she did not pretend not to know Rainie. Thus, her actions calmed


    Rainie down a bit.


    "You can get an advance if you need money desperately."


    "Well... it''splicated. I don''t really want to tell others why I need this money so desperately."


    Pinksy covered her belly as she spoke.


    Mango was too familiar with this action.


    She could not help but think of the child she had not met.


    "You''re pregnant."


    Mango''s words were not a question but a statement. Her words stunned Pinksy


    immediately.


    "What? How did you know about that?"


    Rainie was astonished too when she saw Pinksy''s surprised expression.


    "If you''re pregnant, then just give birth to your baby. However, you can''t earn this much money in a


    short time."


    Pinksy felt dismayed.


    She whispered, "I... I can''t keep this child."


    "Do you n to abort this baby?"


    Pinksy nodded at Mango''s words.


    "Yes, my brother and sister need to go to school, so I can''t rest for too long. I heard that the


    operation is painless, and the recovery period is short, so I want to do this. But the operation needs


    to be done soon, and I''m running out of time. If I don''t do it soon, everyone will know what


    happened after that!"


    Pinksy began to cry as she spoke.


    Rainie did not expect that she would ask such questions and could not help but feel anxious.


    "You..."


    "Shh!"


    In order to prevent Rainie from saying anything, Mango stopped her quickly.


    Mango was quite experienced in this matter.


    Obviously, Pinksy did not want to keep her child. However, it would be troublesome if she did the


    operationter as the procedure would be too painful.


    Both of them were women, and now that Mango had reced Pinksy''s position, she still felt a little


    guilty about this.


    "I''m going to buy a high-end zither. How muchmission can you get?"


    Pinksy paused for a moment and said, "I can get a 1%mission."


    "In other words, if I buy a one hundred thousand dors zither, you can get around ten thousand?"


    "Yes, you''re right!"


    Pinksy nodded her head. However, she felt that the possibility was very slim.


    Many people came to buy zithers, but most of the deals she got were the middle-priced ones.


    People would normally buy zithers ranging from a few thousand dors to around ten thousand


    dors. However, she would only get around two dors asmission! This was not sufficient for


    her to pay for the abortion. Thus, Pinksy got more anxious as the days passed as not many people


    came in to buy instruments.


    Mango looked at her and said in a deep voice,


    "Then please choose a zither worth one hundred thousand dors for me."


    Pinksy thought she had heard Mango wrong.


    "Come again?"


    "I said I''m going to buy a zither that costs a hundred thousand dors. It''s a deal. After you get the


    commission, go to the hospital as soon as possible."


    Pinksy''s eyes were filled with tears.


    "Thank you... thank you very much! May I know your name?"


    "Mango Shen, I''m the one who reced you in the team. Hurry up and settle your matters and


    return to the team. I''ll take your ce during this period of time. When you return, I''ll leave. Do your


    best!"


    Pinksy was slightly startled by Mango''s words.


    She had heard that the team had found a recement for her. Also, she was even a little worried


    about finding a job after the surgery. After all, she had a lot of free time and a decent ie in this


    job, but it was hard to find jobs that required a zither yer.


    Thus, Pinksy could not believe it when she heard Mango say that thetter would give her the


    position as a zither yer after she returned.


    Rainie said, "Don''t worry, I brought Mango to make up the vacancy. After all, my album needs to be


    listed on the market, so I can''t dy it. She''s the CEO of lllimite Entertainment, so how can she


    work for the others? She was only helping you out. You should rest well first and help me out when


    youe back."


    Pinksy was still amazed.


    Mango smiled, "Hurry up and pack my zither."


    "Oh! Yes, sure!"


    Pinksy finally reacted and quickly gave the zither that cost one hundred thousand dors to Mango.


    After doing all this, Mango brought the zither and left the music store.


    Rainie smiled and said, "You''re always so kind. Who knows if Pinksy is really pregnant?"


    "It''s true."


    Rainie was slightly startled after hearing Mango''s words.


    "Hmm? How can you tell that?"


    "Her expression was obvious, and her hands always covered her belly subconsciously. In my


    opinion, she likes this child very much. But she said that she couldn''t keep this child, so there must


    be a reason behind it. s! After all, women always get hurt easily."


    Rainie believed that Pinksy was pregnant after hearing Rainie''s words.


    "Haha! I can''t believe that you were generous enough to pay one hundred thousand dors for a


    zither. I bet their boss will feel like today is his lucky day!"


    "It doesn''t matter. If you can help others, you may get good karma in the future. Besides, the timbre


    of this zither is really good. After all, good things don''te cheap."


    "Alright, if you say so then. Now, let''s see how those people will deal with it. Did she say that the


    strings of the zither would not snap easily just now?"


    Rainie was still thinking about the problems in the team.


    Mango smiled, "Haha! Don''t think about it. I''m not an easy target for bullies."


    "Uh... That may not be the case. I''ll protect you anyway."

    Mango felt amused when she saw Rainie''s heroic demeanour.


    When they returned home, they saw Nathaniel smoking at the door.


    There were a lot of cigarette butts piling up beside his feet. Obviously, he had been waiting here for


    a long time.


    Rainie felt that she would only make the atmosphere awkward if she stayed here.


    "Um... I''ll go and buy us some drinks."


    Then, she ran away.


    Mango could not even stop Rainie.


    Nathaniel saw that she was holding a zither and initiated the conversation.


    "Did you pick up the zither recently?"


    "It''s for work."


    Mango answered every of his question as if they were as close as before.


    She opened the door and whispered, "Come in and take a shower. The odour of the cigarette


    smoke on your body smells terrible!"


    Although Mango did not reject him, she sounded a little upset.


    Nathaniel was slightly startled.


    Was Mango concerned about him?


    He could not help but feel happy.


    "I didn''t bring any clothes to change."


    "Let Desmond buy some then."


    Mango responded naturally, and Nathaniel felt jolly.


    When Desmond got the order from Nathaniel, he went to buy some clothes.


    Nathaniel went to the en- suite in Mango''s room and turned on the faucet.


    He could not help but feel aroused when he thought about the passionate night they had a few days


    ago.


    Mango did not think too much. She simply carried the zither to the study and started to tune it after


    setting it up.


    Nathaniel listened to the tuning sounds outside and suddenly felt serene and peaceful.


    Rainie did not dare to go back to Mango''s ce now, so she went to see Ares instead. She refused


    to leave Ares'' ce and said that she wanted to ask him some questions regarding music


    composition.


    After Mango finished tuning it, she told herself that this zither was worthy of the price she paid. Its


    timbre was truly extraordinary!


    Then, she blushed when she saw Nathanieling out of the bathroom.


    "You beat Lebanon up, right?"


    This was not a question for him, but an affirmation.


    Nathaniel did not avoid her question, and he admitted it without hesitation.


    "Yeah, I beat him up. After all, he disfigured my wife. It''s not a big deal."


    "Urgh. So childish."


    His actions warmed Mango''s heart, but she did not express her feelings.


    Nathaniel did not care what Mango said and continued, "If he dares to harass you again, I swear I''ll


    continue to beat him until he bes disfigured!"


    "Don''t! He isn''t part of Rainie''s album anymore. You should stop already, okay?"


    Mango did not want to create a big fuss over this matter.


    Nathaniel had no objection to Mango''s words.


    "Well, I''ll forgive him for your sake. Hmm... Haven''t you gone to the hospital to change the bandage


    on your face?"


    "I''ll do it myselfter. It''s not a big deal anyway."


    Mango covered the zither and took out the first aid kit.


    Her face was a little itchy and she wanted to change the dressing.


    "Let me do it then."


    Nathaniel volunteered to help her with it.


    There was still a nice scent of shower gel lingering on his body. When Mango smelled it, she was


    stupefied. At the same time, her face flushed, and her heart started beating fast.


    "I can do it myself."


    "Nah, it''ll be troublesome for you because you have to look in the mirror. Let me help you instead."


    Nathaniel carefully removed Mango''s bandage.


    When he saw the wound on Mango''s face, he could not help but feel upset for her.


    "D*mn it! I should have beat him up more!"


    Mango smiled immediately.


    "It''s alright. Lebanon didn''t do it on purpose too."


    "Urgh! He was staring at you affectionately on purpose! I think he won''t give up."


    "Huh? What do you mean by that?"


    Mango felt that Nathaniel''s words were entric, but Nathaniel did not exin anything. However,


    an ambiguous look shed across his eyes.


    Nathaniel was gentle when he was helping her with her dressing. He even blew some air tenderly to


    her wound.


    Mango felt a tingling sensation on her face, and it aroused her.


    Her breathing became heavy.


    Nathaniel did not seem to notice the changes in Mango. He moved slightly forward to her, and his


    broad and muscr chest appeared in front of her. Right now, Mango couldn''t resist the temptation


    that was in front of her!


    She swallowed unconsciously and took a step back.


    "Don''t move."


    Nathaniel called out in a deep voice. He took a step forward, and his upper body immediately came


    into contact with Mango''s sensitive spots.


    She screamed, and the two of them bumped into each other.
