Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 182: With a love rival, you have to learn even if you don’t know how

Lan Xiaodie walked towards Sheng Zexi who was drinking alone nearby with a glass of wine.

"Why is Master Sheng hiding here drinking alone?"

Sheng Zexi clinked glasses with her and said, "This is Fourth Uncle's place. I'm just here to join in the fun. It would be inappropriate to steal the show."

Lan Xiaodie followed his gaze and saw Nanchun learning to dance with Chunxiao on the dance floor. His clumsy and funny appearance amused her: "Our Second Young Lady Bai is really interesting."

Sheng Zexi smiled faintly and did not comment.

"I rarely admire anyone, and he is one of them." Lan Xiaodie said after taking a sip of wine.

"What do you admire about him?" Sheng Zexi asked.

"You're aware of his poor upbringing, aren't you? Born into a poor family, he became the second young mistress of the Bai family. Although he held the title of legal wife, in the eyes of the world, he was just like a male concubine, a plaything that was not worthy of public display and was looked down upon. Although no one spoke of it, just look at the looks of those prominent figures around him: contempt and disdain, as if they had seen something dirty.

The second and eldest young masters of the Bai family usually bring him out to banquets without hesitation. Fourth Master Sheng, Chun Xiao, and even you, the eldest son, are so close to him, chatting and laughing with him in front of others without any reservations. This makes some people look down on him, but also envy and jealous. Look at the second young mistress, she doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, she just plays and eats as she pleases. She is neither humble nor arrogant, neither proud nor flattering.

Lan Xiaodie stared at Nanchun, who was smiling brightly under the light.

"I'm so envious. This is what happens only when you're loved."

Sheng Zexi was silent for a moment and said, "You are wrong. It's not just because he is loved. It's also because he can accept not being loved."

"Then Mr. Sheng, can you accept that the person you love doesn't love you back?" Lan Xiaodie asked with a smile.

Sheng Zexi shook the red wine in his hand and chuckled, "No."

After he said that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Lan Xiaodie raised her eyebrows slightly: "Dance for our lovely Second Young Madam?"

Sheng Zexi put down his wine glass, stood up and struck a gentlemanly pose inviting him to dance.

Hand in hand, the two slowly stepped onto the dance floor, their steps light and graceful. Sheng Zexi, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, exuded a calm and gentlemanly demeanor. Lan Xiaodie's bright blue dress, shimmering under the light, was exceptionally beautiful. The loose hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps.

The two danced to the music, and every spin and slide was smooth and perfect.

Everyone's eyes unconsciously fell on the two of them.

"This is what dancing is! You were just fighting!" Chunxiao teased.

Nanchun smiled sheepishly: "I really can't dance well. They dance so beautifully. Miss Xiaodie is like a dancing butterfly now."

Perhaps seeing Nanchun's envious gaze, Sheng Zexi slowly came over here with Lan Xiaodie.

Chun Xiao curled her lips and muttered, "What are you showing off? You're just putting on an act!"

Seeing Nanchun clapping silently while watching, he felt helpless and had a headache.

"I'm jealous?"

Nanchun nodded: "Don't you think people who can dance are amazing? When I dance, I don't know how to move my hands and feet. When I'm anxious, I can't tell left from right."

"Wait for your husband Bai Xun to come back and let him teach you." Chun Xiao said.

"Bai Xun? Can he dance?" Nanchun looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, you just need to tell him that you saw Master Sheng dancing beautifully, and he will definitely learn it." Chun Xiao said with a wicked smile.

Chunxiao thought to herself: With a love rival around, I have to learn it even if I don’t know how!

Nanchun shook his head. He really couldn't imagine what Bai Xun looked like dancing.

"He doesn't look like he can dance! You don't know, he's a very old-fashioned person. I've never seen him jump around, let alone dance. He's always very formal and methodical wherever he goes.

"Before, after sitting all day in class, I'd feel tired even if I lay down. Others keep their backs straight all day. "Dancing... he definitely can't do that." Nanchun waved her hands repeatedly.

"Want to make a bet?" Chunxiao said.

"What are you gambling?"

"If you lose, get me two bottles of good wine from Young Master Bai. If I lose, I will pay for everything when you come to watch a play in the future, and it will be in a luxurious private room." Chunxiao said with a smile.

"Aren't you at a disadvantage this time?" Nanchun grinned.

"It's still uncertain who will win or lose! You must tell him what I say and describe to Young Master Bai what you are seeing in vivid detail." Chun Xiao raised his chin and motioned Nan Chun to look at Sheng Zexi and Lan Xiaodie who were dancing on the dance floor.

"Okay, I understand!" Nanchun said with a smile.

Anyway, he has nothing to lose and he can still watch Bai Xun dance.

At this time, Marshal Li was smoking with Sheng Yuquan, the second master of the Sheng family.

"Second Master, how is it? Is it better than the one I gave you before?" asked Marshal Li.

Sheng Yuquan took a few puffs and said drunkenly, "Yes, this is of top quality."

"Good Western stuff." Marshal Li also lay down and started smoking.

"Now that the ban has been issued, it's difficult to get this thing. Marshal Li, you are really capable." Sheng Yuquan said with narrowed eyes.

"Second Master, you are too kind. If it weren't for the old man's strict supervision, you would have as much as you want." Marshal Li said.

"You can get as many foreign drugs as you want?" Sheng Yuquan opened his eyes, looked at him and asked, "Is your approach stable?"

"Nine times out of ten!"

"Since there is this way, won't money flow into your pocket like water? Why do you still have to cooperate with the boss? He doesn't care about this." Sheng Yuquan said.

"You also said that money flowed into your pocket like water. I hope you won't block the God of Wealth at the door?" Marshal Li said with a smile.

Sheng Yuquan snorted and said, "If you hit a wall, I won't care."

"All you need to do is say a few nice words to me when I'm hesitant." Marshal Li said as he took out a wooden box.

Sheng Yuquan took it and looked at the neatly arranged tobacco paste inside, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"I heard that the Fourth Master is hosting a banquet in Happy City today. Why isn't the Second Master going?" Marshal Li asked casually.

"He has been back for two days and has not returned home. The old man is already unhappy. He is holding this ridiculous banquet in public. Isn't this a slap in the face of the old man? If I go, the old man will scold me too. So, I let Zekai go. Didn't the eldest brother not go either, and let Zexi go?" Sheng Yuquan said disdainfully.

Marshal Li thought for a moment and said, "There's still some time until the old man's birthday. He came back so early because he wants to show more filial piety, right?"

"What filial piety is this? He hasn't prepared a birthday gift, so he wants to learn from me. It's the same every year, he tries to learn from me but still wants to surpass me! He will definitely not be able to beat me this year, so I have to thank Marshal Li for giving up on me!" Sheng Yuquan said with a smile.

"No, no! As long as I can make you and the old man happy, that's all."
