1 Year Of Beginning

Miss Su stood in front of Feng Mian. Her brows furrowed. "What in the world are you doing here?"

Hearing that, Feng Mian wanted to cry. Even though her appearance had changed considerably because of the makeup, she still has the same face. Even though she wanted to deny this, she couldn't because she knew that it was the truth.

"Do I know you, Miss?" Feng Mian tried to pretend to be dumb. If it was unnecessary, she didn't want to attract trouble.

One of the ladies nudged Miss Su. "You know her?"

"I have seen her," Miss Su replied. The memory of the day when she came to Zhang Liang's company was vivid in her mind. It was not the first time Zhang Liang rejected her since her grandfather had matched her with Zhang Liang a few times. However, that was the first time she barged into his company.

Even though she didn't want to remember that day, Feng Mian's appearance and face just made her remember that accursed day again.

"Really?"

"Who's she?"

"An ordinary staff in Zhang Liang's company, right?" Miss Su arched her eyebrows. Her eyes were looking straight to Feng Mian as if hoping to cut through her.

Feng Mian kept a polite smile on her face. If only it was possible, she wanted to run away as fast as possible. However, her identity in this party was not just only as an ordinary employee in Zhang Liang's company like back then. Today she's Zhang Liang's wife.

"Did you mistake me for someone else, Miss Su?" Feng Mian asked politely.

Miss Su frowned. She could not forget Feng Mian's face even if she wanted to. Thinking about how her embarrassing day was seen by another person truly made her mood drop.

"No! It was you who's coming on the lift that day."

Feng Mian blinked her eyes. "There are a lot of employees in Zhang Liang's company. How can you be so sure that you have seen me before?"

"Of course I can still remember that day!" Miss Su nearly blurted out the embarrassing scene, but she held back her tongue. Her eyes were looking at Feng Mian with hatred.

"You're nothing more than an ordinary employee. What are you doing in a high party like this?"

Feng Mian frowned. She thought that she would be able to lead Miss Su to another conversation and forget that, but it seemed that her oral skill was not that good. Well, as an introvert, she herself knew that she was not that good at talking, which made it harder for her if she wanted to win an argument.

Pushing her thoughts to the back, Feng Mian was about to speak when she heard a voice coming from the side.

"Why are you pestering my wife?"

Miss Su and the other women hurriedly turned around. Their eyes widened when they saw Zhang Liang as if they could not believe their eyes.

Didn't he just say wife? Wasn't Zhang Liang one of the most eligible bachelors left in this country? Since when did he get married? Why did he get married to a person without status like this?

Countless questions emerged in their mind like a tidal wave. They could not believe that Zhang Liang, who was known for not wanting to get close to anyone, would be married in just a few months when they had not met him.

There's no news at all!

Zhang Liang stared at the women coldly and walked to Feng Mian. He handed the glass in his hand. "Melon juice."

"Thank you." Feng Mian accepted it. In Zhang Liang's house, she occasionally asked Chef Lu to prepare this juice. She felt happy that Zhang Liang still remembered that she liked it.

Eh, wait, she never told him, right?

Miss Su looked at the distance the two of them had with one another as her eyes widened in disbelief. Did that day Zhang Liang was actually telling her that he had gotten close with one of his employees for real? He thought that he was just saying that to irk her.

Zhang Liang passed a glance to the group of women. "Do you need anything?"

"N…No, please enjoy your stay."

"We'll be going now."

They dragged Miss Su with them as they rushed far away from the place. No one was in the mood to keep on talking with Zhang Liang and Feng Mian. They also needed to find out more whether it was true or not that Zhang Liang had gotten married.

There were a lot of women who would cry if that news was true.

Feng Mian sipped the juice and looked at Zhang Liang. "You're popular, Brother Liang."

Zhang Liang arched his eyebrows. "Blame my father who keeps on setting blind dates."

Feng Mian: "…" shouldn't you blame your handsome face?

However, she didn't dare to say it out loud and just sipped the juice once more. It was cold and sweet, a perfect combination if she had to say. Too bad that she could only drink it occasionally.

"Why don't you defend yourself?"

"You hear it?"

"Just the last part."

When Zhang Liang came, he only heard Feng Mian's last sentence and the two questions Miss Su asked. It was then he remembered that the day he met with Feng Mian was the day when he stood up on the blind date that his father set for the nth time. Since his father was the one who set up the dates, he knew that his father would always be the one to settle the matter.

He had never agreed to any of it, so he would not even bother coming to the date.

This was the reason why Zhang Yi always had so much headache for his younger son. No matter what he did or say, Zhang Liang would never want his father to set him for a blind date. Thus, the rumor of him hating women came out.

Zhang Liang suspected that it was the result of his brother tampering things a bit, though. However, he didn't really care because it also helped him to get away from the annoying women at times.

Feng Mian smiled lightly. "Well, she's not exactly wrong. I can only delay things because I'm not sure whether I can tell her that I'm an employee in your company or not."

"You might be an employee in my company, but you're also my wife."

"I know."

"Then, you should lift your head up. Don't keep on looking down."

Feng Mian glanced at Zhang Liang's face. For a moment, she felt that his gaze was looking at her with concern, but she quickly brushed the thoughts to the back.

Concern?

She didn't think that Zhang Liang would really concern himself with her. They were just in this relationship because of a contract, right?

However, she could not stop a warm feeling from spreading out from the bottom of her heart.
