【95. Restaurant Conversation】
Jinghong Restaurant is fully booked today.
Every corner of the restaurant has been carefully decorated, dotted with flowers, ribbons and balloons, creating a romantic environment.
Zheng Xuhe looked at Bai Hengxi who was sitting opposite him, feeling inexplicably helpless.
To be honest, he really wanted to run away now.
He is now a little worried about Cheng Qingxing's situation.
"Brother Zheng is so thoughtful and prepared so many romantic things for me." Bai Hengxi took a sip of the red wine in front of him, speaking in a gentle tone.
"I didn't prepare this." Zheng Xuhe didn't hide it from him, and he didn't bother to make him happy. "These were prepared by my family."
Everything in this restaurant was prepared by his sister Chen Lingyue.
"Then uncle and his friends are really thoughtful." Bai Hengxi was not angry and poured him a glass of red wine. "Uncle Chen should have told you about this, right?"
"What's the matter?" Zheng Xuhe pretended to know nothing.
"Regarding the engagement, both our families are very satisfied with it. My father and your uncle have already agreed that we will be engaged on National Day this year."
When Bai Hengxi said this, there was a hint of gentle certainty in his tone, as if all this had already been a foregone conclusion.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes full of anticipation, as if waiting for Zheng Xuhe's response.
Zheng Xuhe felt suffocated. He tightly gripped the wine glass in his hand, and his knuckles turned slightly white from the force.
After thinking it over, he finally said, "Is this your own idea?"
"Of course, Brother Zheng, who wouldn't like an excellent Alpha like you?" Bai Hengxi smiled sweetly, "We are a match made in heaven. It would be unreasonable if we weren't together."
In Bai Hengxi's opinion, as the heir of the Bai family and an Omega, his marriage cannot be decided according to his own wishes.
Family interests are what he should consider most.
Although Zheng Xuhe is the illegitimate son of the Chen family, he is a triple S-level Alpha. Mr. Chen's attitude is also very clear, which is to let this illegitimate son inherit the Chen family.
If he could marry Zheng Xuhe, their Bai family could become wealthy for four generations in the future.
"Then why are we not destined?" Zheng Xuhe asked her slowly.
He believed that Bai Hengxi in front of him had already checked the compatibility of their pheromones.
Zheng Xuhe knew that his 100% match was with Cheng Qingxing, and it was impossible for anyone else.
Bai Hengxi's face on the opposite side suddenly turned gloomy, and there was a hint of impatience in his eyes as he looked at him.
"What do you mean? Do you feel that I am not worthy of you?" Bai Hengxi asked him back, "I am not 100% yours in terms of pheromones, but I will definitely cooperate with you 100% in terms of family background."
There was nothing wrong with what he said. The marriage between him and Bai Hengxi was actually just a marriage of arrangement, and there was no so-called love.
"But I'm different from you. I have someone in my heart."
When Bai Hengxi heard this, the smile on his face froze slightly, but soon returned to its gentle state.
"Brother Zheng, I know this may seem a little sudden to you, but this is the best arrangement for our family. Besides, I...I am also looking forward to starting a new life with you."
He had actually understood the meaning of Zheng Xuhe's words, but in order to give Zheng Xuhe face, he did not mention Cheng Qingxing's name.
Zheng Xuhe was silent for a moment. He took a sip of wine and then took a small sip.
He knew he couldn't refuse directly. The pressure from his family was like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.
"I will find a way to cancel this marriage." Zheng Xuhe finally spoke, his voice low and firm, "I hope you won't make things difficult for him."
Bai Hengxi's expression changed slightly, and then he sneered, "What's so good about your ex-wife?"
"He's not good at all." Zheng Xuhe said slowly, "You shouldn't be too critical of him."
"How can I not target him if you are protecting him like this?" Bai Hengxi slammed the table and stood up, his eyes becoming disdainful. "Brother Zheng, our engagement is not decided by you, but by our two families. I will not give up until my father tells me explicitly that the engagement is cancelled."
Zheng Xuhe raised his hand to rub his temples, then lowered his head to eat the beef in front of him without answering him.
"As for your ex-wife, I have already told her about our engagement. He no longer has any feelings for you. I gave him some money, and he promised me that he would never appear in front of you again."
Bai Hengxi held the knife and fork, cutting the beef elegantly, "He is not a good person."
"That's his business. What I'm talking about is my business." Zheng Xuhe didn't take his words to heart.
To him, what Cheng Qingxing was thinking or doing had nothing to do with him.
Zheng Xuhe has his own ideas.
"He doesn't even love you, why do you still bother him?" Bai Hengxi asked him with a smile.
"How do you know he doesn't love me?"
This sentence left Bai Hengxi speechless. He could only smile and nodded, and replied: "Brother Zheng is really confident."
"I can't be sure whether he loves me or not, but what I can be sure of is that neither of us loves each other." Zheng Xuhe wiped his mouth and stood up.
"Master Bai, I don't have to have Cheng Qingxing, I just don't have you in my heart."
He was not sure whether he still loved Cheng Qingxing as deeply as before, but what was certain was that he did not love the person in front of him.
Bai Hengxi looked embarrassed. This was a clear rejection, but he still refused to accept his fate. Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Xuhe continued.
"Until now, I am just Zheng Xuhe, not the young master of the Chen family. You should know that I am not willing to listen to Chen Jianmin."
"But, that's the Chen family, aren't you tempted at all?" Bai Hengxi stood up, his tone a little excited.
This successfully made Zheng Xuhe laugh. He looked down at Bai Hengxi in the dark and asked him, "Are you attracted to the Bai family?"
Bai Hengxi was stunned and couldn't answer.
"The person you want to marry is Chen Jianmin's son, not me, Zheng Xuhe." He straightened his suit, "I won't take back my identity as Zheng Xuhe, so you might as well consider my useless brother."
"Zheng Xuhe, how am I inferior to your Beta ex-wife?" Bai Hengxi raised his voice and asked, grabbing his wrist.
Zheng Xuhe paused, not knowing how to respond appropriately.
Cheng Qingxing is not as good as Bai Hengxi, whether in appearance or family background, and maybe even in character he is not as well-behaved and obedient as Bai Hengxi.
"There's nothing to compare." He didn't even finish his words, turned around and left the restaurant.
