Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 118 Hongmen Banquet

"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Fourth Master Sheng has sent someone over." Ah Fu came in to report.

"Bring him here." Bai Xun said.

"Greetings, young masters," Old Xing said, bowing. "The Fourth Master said he'd host a banquet in Paradise tonight, and we're looking forward to your presence."

"Thank you."

Bai Xun said this and glanced at Ah Fu, who hurried forward and handed three small yellow croakers to Lao Xing.

"No, no..." Old Xing declined.

"It's just a small token of my sincerity. Butler Xing, we are old acquaintances, so please don't be polite with me. Could it be that... you think it's not enough?" Bai Song said with a smile.

"How could that be! Thank you very much, young masters." Old Xing smiled and accepted it.

Old Xing returned to the paradise and told Sheng Yu'an that Bai Xun had rewarded him with three small yellow croakers.

Sheng Yu'an took it and played with it in his hands.

"Interesting! What do you think of those two young masters?"

Old Xing said, "I've dealt with the eldest young master of the Bai family twice. He's smooth and adaptable, and a natural for business. This is the first time I've met the second young master of the Bai family. Just like the rumors say, he's handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. He seems more stable than the eldest young master."

"He is indeed a prudent person. If you give him too much, it will seem like he is bribery or buying off an insider, and you won't dare accept it. If you give him too little, it will seem like you are looking down on him, which will only make him unhappy.

This is just the right amount, and you're happy to accept it. Since he gave it to you, just keep it." Sheng Yu'an stuffed the small yellow croaker into Old Xing's hands.

"Thank you, Fourth Master!" Old Xing took it with a smile.

"Prepare some dishes that Second Young Master Bai doesn't like to eat tonight..."

"Uh? Don't like it?" Old Xing thought he had misheard.

Sheng Yu'an's eyes rolled around: "Send someone to the theater to pick up Nanchun and Chunxiao first."

"Yes."

When Nanchun arrived at the paradise, he was shocked by its magnificence.

Seeing Nanchun's fixed gaze, Chunxiao laughed: "Why? I didn't expect that the Fourth Master, who eats and dresses so casually, actually has a golden nest?"

Nanchun nodded: "I really didn't expect that his daily life in the teahouse is very simple."

"This is the face of Mr. Sheng Si, and the teahouse is his life." Chunxiao explained.

"Nanchun, what does the second young master Bai usually not like to eat?" Sheng Yu'an strode towards them.

"Don't like food?"

His sudden remark left Nanchun completely bewildered.

"Well, I'm going to treat him tonight, so I have to avoid things he doesn't like, right?" Sheng Yu'an said and winked at Chunxiao who was trying to hold back her laughter.

"Bai Xun is actually not picky about food, but the food in the Bai family's old house is usually light, so you just need to prepare something light." Nanchun said.

"Okay, I'll give the order."

"By the way, please open another table for Nanchun and me." Chunxiao said with a smile.

"understood."

"Ah? You're not eating with Bai Xun?" Nan Chun said in surprise.

Chun Xiao laughed and teased, "Can't wait? I want to see how good-looking this famous Second Young Master Bai is. He's so charming to you."

Nanchun blushed and whispered, "I didn't..."

In the evening, Bai Xun and Bai Song attended the banquet as scheduled.

"Two young masters, please come in." Butler Xing went to the door to greet them personally.

"Butler Xing, who is here today?" Bai Song looked around.

"The Fourth Master only invited you two." Butler Xing replied.

Bai Song glanced at Bai Xun and curled his lips helplessly.

Yes, the Hongmen Banquet.

The light from the lanterns under the eaves shines through the intricately carved window lattices, casting mottled shadows that interweave with the bright lights in the house.

In the center of the main hall stood a large round table made of golden nanmu wood, its surface smooth and shimmering with golden light. Surrounding the table were several intricately carved golden nanmu chairs.

A vibrant camellia blooms in a simple blue-and-white porcelain vase, its fragrance overflowing. On the wall hang two ink paintings and two Western oil paintings. The contrasting colors are striking, yet not surprising, creating a vibrant aesthetic.

"Please wait here for a moment, the Fourth Master will be here soon." Butler Xing said with a smile.

When they were the only two left in the room, Bo Song couldn't help but say, "I thought he would let Nanchun come over. It seems he doesn't want you to take the person away so easily."

Bai Xun said calmly: "Isn't this good?"

"What's good about it? This is clearly the Hongmen Banquet!" Bai Song said in a low voice.

"If Fourth Master Sheng really said that, it means he thinks highly of Nanchun, which also means that Nanchun has not suffered in Jincheng these days."

Bai Xun felt relieved and his expression softened a lot.

Bo Song didn't know what to say for a moment.

If you want to enjoy the world in the future, you must cut off all emotions and love.

"Master Bai, Master Bai II, nice to meet you!" Sheng Yu'an walked in wearing a gray suit and a smile on his face.

"Fourth Master! Long time no see!" Bai Song smiled and hurried forward to shake hands with him.

Sheng Yu'an's gaze fell on Bai Xun beside him.

The young man in front of him was a little taller than him, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a handsome face.

"Fourth Master, I've long heard of your name!" Bai Xun stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.

"Oh, this is the second young master Bai, Jiaojiao Mingyue! I have heard of your great name for a long time, and seeing you today, I can see that your reputation is well-deserved." Sheng Yu'an smiled and secretly tightened his grip on Bai Xun.

Bai Xun remained calm and said, "You're too kind."

Seeing the delicate atmosphere between the two, Bo Song hurriedly said, "Fourth Master, I heard you like brandy. I happen to have two bottles here. Take a look and see if they suit you."

He said as he took out the wine.

Sheng Yu'an knew he was trying to smooth things over, so he didn't refuse his composure and said with a smile, "This is good wine!"

"Fourth Master." Butler Xing came over.

"Serve the food!" Sheng Yu'an said, "Come, sit down and chat slowly."

Chunxiao and Nanchun leaned on the window crack to watch people.

"Oh, that Second Young Master Bai is really good-looking." Chunxiao nudged Nanchun with his elbow and said with a smile.

Nanchun pursed her lips and excitedly moved to the window.

Seeing that familiar figure he hadn't seen for a long time, Nanchun's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and his palms sweated slightly. His eyes followed Bai Xun's figure, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly Bai Xun turned his head and his eyes fell here.

For a moment their eyes met.

Nanchun opened his eyes wide and squatted down subconsciously.

"Hahahaha, look how scared you are." Chunxiao covered her mouth and laughed.

The laughter outside could be heard faintly in the room.

Sheng Yu'an waved his hand, and Butler Xing smiled knowingly and walked to the door and raised his hand.

Nanchun squatted on the ground and saw a row of young women wearing red embroidered silk cheongsams, with graceful figures and beautiful faces, carrying plates into the house.

"Your second young master is in for a treat." Chunxiao teased.

Nanchun curled her lips, feeling sour in her heart.

When Bai Song saw the beauty, his eyes lit up and his mouth stretched almost to his ears.

"They say that beautiful women come from a golden city, and it's true."

The smile on Bai Xun's face was very faint, and his gaze fell towards the window from time to time.

He seemed to have seen Nanchun just now.
