Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 154 Jealousy

When Nanchun said this, it seemed as if she was saying that Li Rou was flattering too much and was hypocritical.

The smile on Li Rou's face was a little hard to maintain for a moment.

Nanchun was unaware of it and took a sip of the rose water from the wine glass. It was not spicy at all and had a sweet aftertaste.

He looked up and saw everyone looking at him awkwardly. Unsure of what to say, he continued, "You played Rose so well. I actually cried when Rose died!"

Li Rou laughed heartily after hearing this, completely disregarding her image.

"You're so funny!"

Misunderstandings often occur when the speaker is unintentional but the listener is intentional.

I always feel that there is something else behind what the other person says, but in fact, what he says is just what he means on the surface.

I'm used to dealing with people who are cunning, so I really can't get used to dealing with people who are straightforward.

Sheng Zexi smiled and said, "Speaking of roses, Nanchun's perspective on movies is quite unique! Since the release of 'Rose Lover,' we've received reviews ranging from those who lamented the couple's failure to marry to those who lamented the difficulty of love that transcends class boundaries. But you're the first to question the male protagonist's love."

Nanchun smiled embarrassedly: "I was just talking nonsense, please don't mind it, Miss Li."

Li Rou raised her glass and clinked it with Nanchun's, then smiled and said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense. If Young Master Cheng really wanted to take Rose away, he would have gone to a place where the Cheng family would be hard to find, hiding their identities and staying together for the rest of their lives."

Not only did he not leave, he also repeatedly accepted help from Cheng's mother. This shows that he really didn't have the courage to leave the Cheng family. He did love Rose, but he just couldn't resist reality.

She drank it all in one gulp and poured herself another glass of wine. "But it makes sense when you think about it. How could a young master from such a wealthy family give up his luxurious life for a dancer and go into hiding to live a simple life?"

The last sentence seemed to be talking about herself. The loneliness that flashed in her eyes made Nanchun feel a little sad.

Nanchun didn't know how to comfort her, so she smiled and touched the glass in her hand with his: "It's all in the wine."

Li Rou came back to her senses and laughed, "Yeah, it's all in the wine."

After eating and drinking, the party ended.

Li Rou smiled and said, "It's so interesting to deal with straightforward people."

Sheng Zexi smiled and did not comment.

After sending Li Rou home, on the way back to Sheng Mansion, Sheng Zexi watched the neon lights flashing by outside the car window. He remembered that just now at the gate of Yuqingzhai, Nanchun looked at the flashing lights with a look of wonder and joy.

Wei Zhong heard the laughter and glanced at Sheng Zexi in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"The young master is in a good mood."

"Well, it's not bad." Sheng Zexi said.

"I thought you and that Second Young Master Bai wouldn't get along."

"With him? How should I put it? We don't have any disagreements, but there's really nothing much to talk about. When two people with the same cunning schemes sit together, there's nothing new to do except play tricks.

"This Second Young Master Bai has quite a temper. I just mentioned the matter of that hot-headed fellow surnamed Chen, and he asked about my Fourth Uncle. Isn't this a blatant attempt to pressure me with my Fourth Uncle? He's reminding me that if the Sheng family goes too far, he'll side with my Fourth Uncle." Sheng Zexi snorted coldly.

"I heard that the Second Young Master Bai is even more meticulous than the First Young Master Bai," Wei Zhong said.

"That's true. But what I admire about him is... he doesn't seem to care about other people's opinions at all, and he takes his male wife with him..." Sheng Zexi hesitated to speak.

It would be fine if it was just a male concubine brought out to show off in public, after all, a wealthy family can use a male concubine as a source of bragging.

But that was the man’s wife, his legal wife, and bringing her out was like slapping himself in the face.

The second young master Bai didn't care about other people's opinions at all, and he loved his male wife sincerely.

Sheng Zexi knew he couldn't do this. To him, face was much more important than love.

Nanchun...

"But this Nanchun... is quite interesting." Sheng Zexi curled the corners of his lips and said suddenly.

What is Nanchun?

Wei Zhong didn't react for a moment.

Oh! The second young lady of the Bai family!

Cypress Garden.

"Just a few casual chats?" After listening to Bai Xun's retelling, Bai Song was a little confused about what the eldest son of the Sheng family meant.

"He brought up the drinking contest on purpose. Isn't this clearly a way to pressure the Bai family? He boasted that he knew the Bai family was plotting against that Chen under Marshal Li." Nanchun took a bite of the dessert made by the Baiyuan chef. "I think pretending to be ignorant only makes the situation worse. It's better to just be blunt."

Bo Song smiled and said, "A table full of cunning people met a straightforward one. Let them guess what's true and what's false!"

"I think the eldest son of the Sheng family knows it very well, but he doesn't want to care about it." Bai Xun said.

"Oh? Then... could it be that the eldest son of the Sheng family does not agree with the cooperation between the Sheng family and Marshal Li?" Bai Song said in surprise.

"Master Sheng has actually been taking a wait-and-see attitude towards cooperation, otherwise Marshal Li wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to use Fuyuanji as a stepping stone. The one who really wants to actively promote cooperation is probably Master Sheng." Bai Song said after taking a sip of tea.

Bai Song couldn't hide his joy: "It seems that the Sheng family is not only fighting two tigers, but also a jackal is ready to make a move!"

If it's not a solid block, there will be opportunities to take advantage of it.

Bai Xun curled the corners of his lips and remained silent.

The feeling of parting with Bai Xun last time and this time was completely different.

Nanchun didn't dare to think too deeply about what the specific differences were.

I just know that I am reluctant to leave.

Seeing that Nanchun was cooperating very actively, Bai Xun felt even more reluctant to let her go.

After a lot of trouble.

Nanchun snuggled in Bai Xun's arms, drowsy.

Bai Xun couldn't fall asleep, so he kissed his hair and stroked his neck from time to time.

"I'll be back soon."

Nanchun narrowed her eyes and said "hmm".

"In a few days, when Boss Sun comes to deliver the goods, Marshal Li will know that he has been cheated and will definitely be furious. He has soldiers and guns, but he is unreasonable. You should try not to go out and stay in Baiyuan." Bai Xun frowned slightly.

Even if you have made foolproof preparations, you are still afraid of that one...

"besides……"

Bai Xun hesitated to speak.

Nanchun waited for a long time but didn't hear Bai Xun speak, so she thought he was asleep. She looked up at him and saw that he was lost in thought.

"Anything else?" Nanchun asked.

Bai Xun looked at him deeply and said, "Stay away from Sheng Zexi. If he comes looking for you, let your brother deal with him."

Nanchun felt a little puzzled and said in confusion: "I don't know him well. You are not in Yangcheng, why did he come to see me?"

Bai Xun held Nanchun tightly in his arms, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Nanchun saw that he was frowning and suddenly laughed.

"Are you jealous?"

Bai Xun rubbed the tip of his nose against his.

"Ah."

"Haha...you're so jealous. How could Miss Li Rou possibly be interested in me?"

Nanchun was so happy that she thought Baixun was just joking.
