1 Year Of Beginning

*cough* *cough*

Feng Mian choked on the air when she heard that question. Their deal didn't require the two of them to sleep together. And hell, she didn't want to sleep with Zhang Liang in this one-year contract of marriage. She wanted to be with the one she loved…

In the future, when she found him.

Zhang Liang's face darkened. "You should just ask Xue when he'll have his child. He got married earlier than me."

Xue was referring to Zhang Xue, Zhang Liang's twin older brother. The two of them were very similar to each other in terms of appearance, but they worked differently. Zhang Liang succeeded his father to manage the sweet company and some others while Zhang Xue took over the hotel business, yet at the same time Zhang Xue worked as the patissier.

From the news, Feng Mian knew that Zhang Xue was a more amicable young man compared to Zhang Liang. He also got married last year and the news spread a lot because the Zhang Family was quite well known in the sweet industry.

Zhang Yi crossed his arm. "I want both of you to have children soon."

"I'll try," Zhang Liang could only answer this way because he didn't want his father to continue pestering him. As for when he could have a child, he would just think about it after he had made his company position firm first.

At this time, the food arrived. Feng Mian stared at the luxurious meals in front of her with worry. She knew that each of them was very expensive, which was something she had never had before.

"Let's eat first, Daddy!" Zhang Ai readied her chopstick, but she still waited for Zhang Yi to start. After all, it was the courtesy to wait until the elders started eating before the young generation ate.

Zhang Yi nodded. "Alright, let's eat."

As soon as Zhang Yi began to take the braised meat into his bowl, Zhang Ai also started to move. Her hand moved swiftly to pick up the food into her bowl as she ate in delish.

Feng Mian was a bit confused when she saw a hand picked up a piece of meat into her bowl. She looked up and saw Zhang Liang stared back at her. "Don't be nervous and just eat to your heart content."

"I…"

"Here, I'll add more." Zhang Liang stopped Feng Mian from talking as he put another piece of meat.

Seeing that he wouldn't stop, Feng Mian tried to smile. Well, rather than thinking about it, it would be better for her to enjoy the food. It was not every day she could eat food at this price and quality.

Putting the meat into her mouth along with the rice, Feng Mian's eyes lit up. It was delicious!

After Zhang Liang saw Feng Mian begin to eat, he focused on his own bowl and ate calmly. Compared to the two girls who eat hurriedly, the two men were calmer. At the same time, Zhang Yi was thinking about how to discipline Zhang Ai when they got home later. She would never care for any manners when they were eating together without strangers.

At least, it meant that Zhang Ai didn't think of Feng Mian as a stranger.

After a while, Feng Mian realized that she had finished eating first. She looked at Zhang Liang as an idea popped in her mind.

'At the very least, I should also add food to his bowl, right? But… which one did he like?'

"What is it, Mian'er?" Zhang Liang noticed that she was staring at his bowl. Was she still hungry?

Feng Mian could sense that the others were looking at her too. Feeling awkward, she leaned in and whispered. "Which one do you like?"

Zhang Liang's eyes showed a trace of surprise. He didn't think that Feng Mian would take the initiative to act by herself. Recalling how much she hated when he got close to her, he truly didn't expect this.

"Anything is fine."

"Really?"

"Yes," Zhang Liang replied calmly. His chopstick put another piece of meat into his mouth.

"Hey~, you two, don't give dog food to this single girl," Zhang Ai protested. "if you want to flirt, wait until you're alone."

"We…"

"Go get your own boyfriend," Zhang Liang cut off Feng Mian's words before she could finish. He didn't want her to deny it. Right now, her face was already so red that no one would believe her words too.

Zhang Ai rolled her eyes. "As if I could just randomly pick a man to be my boyfriend."

Feng Mian sneaked a glance at Zhang Liang. He did pick a random girl to be his wife as the two of them have never met with each other before this. Well, she had seen him pretty often in the company, but they didn't have any chance to talk before.

"Brats, eat first and argue later," Zhang Yi stopped the two siblings before they started another banter. He already had enough of these two today.

"Yes, Daddy."

"Yes, Father."

Zhang Yi looked at Feng Mian. "You should eat a lot too. If Zhang Liang dares to mistreat you, just call me."

"Yes."

Feng Mian was pretty sure that Zhang Liang would never mistreat her, but she would not say it to Zhang Yi. Her heart was slightly doubtful for she didn't expect Zhang Yi to accept her so easily. Did Zhang Liang say something to Zhang Yi or something?

For sure, her acting was not that good. Trying not to think too much, Feng Mian pushed the thought to the back when the desserts came.

'Let's just enjoy this for now~.'

The four of them eat harmoniously. Once they were done, Zhang Liang immediately asked to leave.

"So quick? You're just here to eat, Liang Ge?" Zhang Ai was stunned.

"I'm busy. We're preparing for the new type of sweet for the new year celebration and not everything is finished yet," Zhang Liang looked at Feng Mian. "She also need to finish the design."

Feng Mian: "…"

Why do you push the blame to me? I have already finished the design and you accepted it, ok? The one who hadn't finished was the other teams.

Zhang Yi waved his hand. "Fine, you stinky brat. Go and work. When it's New Year, come to the main mansion."

"Yes, Father."

After that, the two of them walked out of the room.
