【22. Never loved each other】

Cheng Qingxing felt as if he had said something that was not very pleasant to hear, and the words just now made his brain freeze.

So he subconsciously repeated what he had just said, "You said that you are Chen Jianmin's illegitimate son and Chen Lingyue's half-brother?"

Zheng Xuhe looked at him with cold eyes, and a hint of gloom flashed across his exquisitely modeled face.

"I never seem to tell you about my family affairs."

"Stop!" Cheng Qingxing shouted loudly, raised his hands and pointed at him.

"When we were dating, you told me that you were an orphan and that you grew up in an orphanage. It was because of the hard work of your director and your own work-study program that you were able to attend the Central Academy of Film and Television."

Cheng Qingxing knew that his memory was not very good, but this memory was definitely not wrong!

"I also thought that I grew up in an orphanage." Zheng Xuhe took a deep breath and rubbed his temples. "Until some time after we got married, the director told me that my father was coming to pick me up."

"Not my friend?" Cheng Qingxing looked incredulous. "Are you acting in a TV series here?"

"My father is Chen Jianmin, the chairman of Samsung Entertainment and the person in charge of the Chen family."

Cheng Qingxing looked at Zheng Xuhe with an expressionless face. In fact, he found it hard to accept this fact.

But think about it carefully, from an 18th-tier actor to a triple-Award winner, from a plaything of capital to a capitalist.

Zheng Xuhe has had a very smooth journey and has ridiculously good resources.

Although Cheng Qingxing saw his efforts, in the entertainment industry, hard work alone does not guarantee success.

All the unreasonableness became more reasonable after Zheng Xuhe said that he was Chen Jianmin's illegitimate son.

He suddenly smiled with relief. All those little things that he used to be unable to understand and care about suddenly became clear.

"So don't feel that you are no match for me. I just have a better life than you." Zheng Xuhe said lightly.

With a "click", Cheng Qingxing opened the car door directly.

Cheng Qingxing walked out. There was a grassland outside and the air was filled with a faint scent of grass.

He breathed hard and told himself to calm down.

In fact, for him, he should be happy.

At least, it proves that he is not without acting talent, but his family background is not as good as Zheng Xuhe's.

"It's okay, it's okay, I have talent." Cheng Qingxing muttered to himself, brainwashing himself and soothing his pitiful self-esteem.

Zheng Xuhe stood behind him, watching him repeating himself over and over again, and let out a long sigh.

"Cheng Qingxing, we two can actually put some things on the table."

He looked back at Zheng Xuhe, sneered, and licked his lips, "What do you want to say?"

"You always think that I am using my status as a high-ranking official to put pressure on you, but that's not the case. I just don't trust you." Zheng Xuhe said seriously, "I want to know more about you, but you always avoid me."

Cheng Qingxing bit her lip and stared at him intently. His vision was inexplicably blurry and his eyes were a little red.

He grinned and tried hard to smile, but his smile seemed too bitter.

Seeing his expression, Zheng Xuhe softened his tone, "We two can actually sit down and talk about our own affairs."

"What are you talking about? We're divorced anyway." Cheng Qingxing said in a low voice, "If you had said this a year ago, we could really have a chat."

However, nowadays, it is actually no longer necessary.

There was a long silence, Zheng Xuhe hadn't spoken a word, Cheng Qingxing continued: "I am very grateful that you are willing to participate in the program, give me traffic, and act with me."

Zheng Xuhe thought there was more to say, but Cheng Qingxing only said these and was unwilling to say more about his thoughts.

Just like they did before, they always supported each other, but it was superficial and without any real feelings.

"I came to participate in this program to clear up the misunderstanding between us, and--"

Zheng Xuhe was interrupted by Cheng Qingxing before he could finish his words.

"There is actually no misunderstanding between us!"

Cheng Qingxing never thought that there was any misunderstanding between them, at most he just didn't tell the other party.

Just like Zheng Xuhe had never told him, he was Chen Jianmin's illegitimate son and the prince of Samsung.

And I have never told him that he is an Omega.

Zheng Xuhe was so frightened by his sudden high-pitched voice that he remained silent.

The two people looked at each other, the wind blew through their hair, and the wind on the grassland carried a faint scent of grass, gently brushing their cheeks, as if telling something.

Cheng Qingxing stood on the grassland, facing Zheng Xuhe, with a complex emotion in his heart.

"Ring, ring, ring..." The cell phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence between the two people.

Cheng Qingxing looked at his phone. It was a call from his agent, Sister Li. He quickly answered the call.

"Hey, Sister Li, what's going on?"

Sister Li said anxiously, "Director Zhao wants you to audition for the movie 'Famous'. You should ask for leave from the production team and make time to go there in the evening."

"Is Director Zhao here?"

"It seems like he came here for a trip. He knew about the show, so he contacted me specifically and asked you to audition." Sister Li explained a little, "Although it's a bit strange, it's an opportunity. You should seize it."

Cheng Qingxing turned and looked at Zheng Xuhe, with gratitude in his eyes, "I see, give me an address, I will go over to meet Director Zhao."

"I'll send it to you later. The time is 8pm. I'm too busy here. Is it okay for you to go by yourself?"

"No problem." Cheng Qingxing replied with a smile, then hung up the phone.

Zheng Xuhe probably knew what was going on, and said calmly, "Director Zhao felt that you were suitable, so he asked you to audition."

"They said they wanted me to audition, but they actually wanted to catch up with you because they were afraid you would run away." Cheng Qingxing smiled bitterly, "I never ask you for anything related to work because it's my self-esteem."

"I——" Zheng Xuhe was speechless for a moment.

He never thought that Cheng Qingxing would feel his self-esteem damaged because of work.

In Zheng Xuhe's eyes, Cheng Qingxing is a very good actor, he just has bad luck.

"I can't accept my mediocrity." Cheng Qingxing smiled and avoided his gaze, "I also can't accept that I am inferior to you."

"Is this the reason why you want to divorce me?" Zheng Xuhe asked this question subconsciously.

Cheng Qingxing shook his head, "No, I just suddenly felt that we two had never loved each other."

"Marriage is just that we happen to need each other. We think we will fall in love with each other in marriage, but in fact we don't..."

These four years have only made Cheng Qingxing more clear about this point.
