Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 129 The lingering ghost

The two walked along the cobblestone road, where shops on the roadside sold all kinds of things.

Nanchun found everything new and exciting, and he looked around along the way, playing with this and trying that, as if he had endless energy.

"Are you tired?" Bai Xun wiped the sweat from Nanchun's forehead with a handkerchief.

"Not bad." Nanchun grinned.

"Let's have afternoon tea!"

After saying this, Bai Xun took Nanchun through a quiet alley. At the end of the alley was a small, quaint-looking Western-style building with a wooden sign that read "Rose".

The store is elegantly decorated, with soft and dim lighting, which shines through exquisite chandeliers and wall lamps onto rows of dark carved wooden tables and chairs.

Several colorful paintings hung on the walls, and in the corner stood a gramophone, playing soft and pleasant music.

Bai Xun and Nan Chun sat down near the floor-to-ceiling window. A waiter wearing a suit and with neatly combed hair came over with a menu.

"A cup of coffee, a glass of juice, and a chestnut cake.

"Coffee? What is coffee?" Nanchun asked curiously.

Bai Xun smiled and said, "Try it later."

Nanchun looked around and began to understand what Bai Xun had said in the suit shop. Everyone here was dressed formally, either in suits or long gowns and jackets. No one was wearing a short jacket and wide-leg pants like him.

Nanchun whispered, "Is it inappropriate for me to dress like this?"

"How could that be? It's not like you're going to an occasion with specific dress code requirements. As for clothes, just wear whatever you like and feel comfortable in." Bai Xun patted his hand gently as if to comfort him.

As they were talking, the food they ordered was served.

Nanchun looked at the pitch-black substance in the exquisite cup and looked at Bai Xun in disbelief.

"It's dark, like medicine."

"Try it." Bai Xun said with a smile.

Nanchun picked up the cup and took a sip.

Fortunately, he only took a small sip. His little face wrinkled up and he quickly put the cup in front of Bai Xun.

"Isn't this medicine? It tastes just like medicine."

Bai Xun smiled and handed him the juice: "Have a sweet drink."

Nanchun took the juice and took a big sip. It tasted sour and sweet and was quite good.

"It's quite bitter. Is it delicious?" He watched Bai Xun drinking coffee without changing his expression.

"You'll get used to it. It tastes quite good." Bai Xun said.

"It's true that the world is so big and full of wonders. Although I don't quite understand it, I respect your special preferences." Nanchun said as he scooped a spoonful of cake with a spoon and handed it to Bai Xun.

Bai Xun leaned forward slightly and ate it with his spoon.

Nanchun's casual attire attracted attention here, and the fact that two grown men were feeding her attracted even more attention.

Bai Xun noticed the somewhat unfriendly gazes around him, but seeing that Nanchun was eating happily and didn't seem to notice at all, he ignored them.

Bai Xun only ate two bites of the cake he fed him, and the rest went into Nanchun's stomach.

After leaving the house, Nanchun touched her increasingly bloated belly and complained, "I always try to eat less, but I can't help it."

"I said some people have evil magic! Men can even get pregnant." The woman who spoke was wearing a gorgeous and exquisite white dress, a white lace hat on her head, and the upper half of her face was covered by a lace veil.

The man next to her was a burly fellow, wearing a poorly fitting grey suit and a tie hanging loosely around his neck.

"Oh, this must be my second cousin!" The man walked up with a smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Bai Xun.

Seeing that Bai Xun looked unhappy, Nanchun looked at the woman curiously.

"What? Second Young Madam is such a forgetful person! It's been so long since we last met, and you don't even recognize me?" The woman opened her red lips, took off her hat, and said contemptuously.

Wu Yiren!

Tsk! The ghost is still there!

"Brother Xun, it's rare to meet you in Yangcheng. Would you like to have a meal together?" Wu Yiren said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, second cousin, come together, it's my treat!" The man next to her grinned, his big gold teeth dazzling.

"We just finished eating, let's talk about it next time!" Bai Xun said and pulled Nanchun forward.

"Brother Xun, don't be anxious. Let me introduce my husband to you." Wu Yiren said with a smile.

Husband? Is Wu Yiren married?

Seeing Nanchun staring at her curiously, Wu Yiren raised her chin slightly and said, "This is my husband, Chen Jinyang. He works for Marshal Li. His position is not high, just a lieutenant."

She said this to surprise Bai Xun and Nan Chun, but Bai Xun remained expressionless, and Nan Chun beside him looked stupid as if she didn't understand.

Lieutenant Chen...

Just like in her previous life, Wu Yiren married Lieutenant Chen.

This person will attack the Bai family in the near future.

After the marriage between the Bai and Wu families and the incident with Zheng Jiufu, the Bai family has already broken off relations with Marshal Li.

It was inevitable that Marshal Li's lackeys would come and cause trouble.

Wu Yiren gritted her teeth and said, "Jin Yang, this is the Second Young Mistress I often mentioned to you."

"Oh, that male wife! Second cousin, you have made great sacrifices for the interests of the family." Chen Jinyang walked lazily, and his eyes revealed disdain and mockery when he looked at Nanchun.

Bai Xun's face was gloomy, and his narrow and cold eyes were full of darkness.

Nanchun grinned and took Baixun's arm affectionately: "So it's my cousin! It's been a long time since we last met. Why didn't you invite us to your wedding? That's too awkward, isn't it? Hey, why didn't I see your driver Han..."

"Nanchun!" Wu Yiren was shocked and interrupted Nanchun.

Her abnormal reaction made Chen Jinyang a little confused.

"Jinyang, since they have already eaten, let's eat by ourselves. We are all hungry!" Wu Yiren pulled Chen Jinyang's arm and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, okay!" Chen Jinyang narrowed his eyes, reached out and scratched her nose, then grinned at Bai Xun, "Second cousin, we're leaving first. We'll be staying in Yangcheng for a while anyway, so we'll get together again later."

Bai Xun nodded expressionlessly, while Nanchun waved at Wu Yiren with a smile on her face.

Wu Yiren gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely.

"Who is the driver the male wife mentioned?" Chen Jinyang asked puzzledly.

"Didn't I tell you? It's the traitor who committed a crime in the Bai family and destroyed the cooperation between the Bai family and Marshal Li. Didn't you see my father dealing with him when we returned to Ancheng?

But he is my father's man after all, and Marshal Li is very suspicious. Because of this incident, Marshal Li no longer trusts my father as much as before. That hateful man's wife brought up this matter just to disgust me!

"I suspect the traitor was planted by the Bai family in the Wu family. Now that our Wu family has suffered losses from the Bai family, we can only grit our teeth and swallow our anger," Wu Yiren said with red eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Jinyang put his arm around her waist and coaxed her, "Don't be angry, I have a way to deal with them."
