1 Year of Beginning

“Give me one year of your life and I’ll give you the money you need.” Feng Mian is a normal and down to earth modern woman. She just wanted an ordinary life, an ordinary job and find an ordinary man to marry in the future. (Yes, all should be ordinary). But when family matters took a turn for the worst, she faced a huge dilemma called shortage of money. Suddenly, a contract came due to a series of coincidences. Zhang Liang was fed up with his father's (yes, father not mother) matchmaking schemes for him. He wanted to have a peaceful year because this was his chance to expand his business overseas, yet his father didn’t seem to get the message. When an ordinary fresh graduate employee in his company accidentally saw a scene, he decided to take the chance. “Since she has a normal background with nothing remarkable, nothing should go wrong, right?” Browsing through the contract, Feng Mian gritted her teeth. 'Fine. It was just one year of my life anyway. I wouldn't lose a lot.' But was it true? Or would that one year turn out to be a ride full of ups and down for both of them? ... Story set in modern era in fictional country. This story is purely fiction, any similarities with real life's event is purely coincidence.

Little Red Bunny

Ding!

The lift stopped when it was at 57th floor. Zhang Liang walked out with Feng Mian following behind him. The corridor has walls in cream color. With the dim yellow light, it imbued the elegance's aura. At the same time, the dark purple carpet made it look even more beautiful.

Feng Mian didn't have the time to admire it, though. Zhang Liang walked fast, passing through the door speedily before he reached a room. Taking out a card from his pocket he swiped it and unlocked the door.

"Come in."

"Ok."

Feng Mian had just walked inside when she saw two people on the edge of the corridor. Her eyes widened and jaws dropped. That… that… it was the bedroom, right?

There was a door separating the place to the bedroom. However, the door was left open. From their position, Feng Mian could see Zhang Xue was pressing Lu Di La to the wall with the door open. Their clothes were unkempt. He was kissing her passionately, seemingly unwilling to let her go.

Zhang Liang's face was dark. He raised his fist and slammed the wall beside him, producing a loud sound.

Bang!

The loud sound interrupted the two of them. Zhang Xue let Lu Di La off unwillingly and walked out of the room. He could see his twin brother and his little wife, whose face had turned red like a tomato, standing there.

"Oh, you've arrived, Liang."

Zhang Liang looked at his brother coldly. This annoying twin older brother of his always often 'forget' to close the door whenever he came to visit. He always had the urge to throw a shoe to his twin brother's face.

"You give me your room card again?"

"Yep. This is a double bedroom room. You can use the one on that side." Zhang Xue pointed to the right side with a wide grin on his face.

It was then Feng Mian realized that there were three routes. One to the front and the other to the right. The left one was connected to a spacious room with a sofa inside. She looked around in amazement, finally realizing that this was truly an expensive hotel that has a spacious area inside.

Plak!

Lu Di La walked out from the room. She had fixed her clothes that Zhang Xue messed up just now. Her hand stretched up and hit the back of Zhang Xue's head. He might not mind having his brother see, but she minded.

"Ah, Di La."

"Lock the door next time."

"Eh? But…. Fine."

Seeing his wife glaring at him, Zhang Xue could only relent and coughed a bit. He was about to talk to Zhang Liang again when he noticed that his brother had dragged Feng Mian to the other room, not interested to talk to him again.

"Hey, Liang, why the hurry?"

"Since you're so busy early in the morning, I won't bother you again. Just let me remind you that Old Zhou won't tolerate you coming late to his birthday party because you're too busy again."

Zhang Xue's face changed. Last year, he was too busy teasing Lu Di La to the point he forgot about the birthday party. His father had to call him when he was in the middle of doing something and reprimanded him. Thanks to that incident, Lu Di La refused to talk to him for a week because he was unable to control himself well.

That was a pure torture for him.

"I won't forget!" Zhang Xue nearly yelled.

Bang!

Lu Di La rolled her eyes and pushed the door to her bedroom again. "I want to prepare myself."

"Eh, there's still a lot of time."

"Women need a long time to prepare themselves. You should go to the bathroom and take a bath."

"But…"

Bang!

Lu Di La slammed the door in front of his face. Zhang Xue sighed to himself. He knew that his wife was angry with him, so he had no choice but to head to the bathroom. There was an additional bathroom in the living room. Wait, his clothes were still in the bedroom.

With no other choice, Zhang Xue began to coax Lu Di La to open the door.

"That annoying brother." Zhang Liang sighed to himself. He felt glad that Zhang Xue designed the wall to be soundproof or else, he would demand to have a different room from his brother.

On his side, Feng Mian's face was still as red as tomato. She felt so embarrassed to see Zhang Xue and Lu Di La in the middle of their 'business.' If they came a bit later, the scene would have progressed a bit more…

By this time, her cheek turned even redder.

Zhang Liang glanced down and patted Feng Mian's head. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry seeing her reddened face. Her future husband would have to be very patient with this little bunny. Just that was already more than enough to make her so embarrassed.

"Mian'er."

"Uh?" Feng Mian looked up. Her lip was pursed while her eyes were looking back. Her reddened cheek hadn't eased up at all as it was still so red.

Zhang Liang wondered if it could get even more red. He pointed to the wardrobe. "Pick clothes that you like the most. I'll take a bath first."

"Oh… Ok."

Feng Mian walked to the wardrobe slowly. Opening it, she was surprised to see so many beautiful dresses inside. All of them were dresses on her size. She turned her head to ask whether Zhang Liang had prepared it beforehand or not, but the man had already entered the bathroom.

Pursing her lips, Feng Mian looked towards the dresses in front of her once more. She began to browse to pick the one she liked.

Inside the bathroom, Zhang Liang undressed and turned on the shower. He had encountered the scene with his brother numerous times in the past, so he had gotten used to it. However, his mind right now was thinking of a certain cute bunny that he saw just now.

Her reddened face just made him want to tease her even more to see how red it could be.

Splash!

'Stop thinking about that, Liang.'

Zhang Liang reprimanded himself. He shouldn't have any other thoughts about anything right now and just focus on the business deals he wanted to get. For now, it was time to dress up.
