SM Notebook - Married Life (Special)

As usual,Shan-mei said good bye to Xiang-zhe in front of the elevator. Displaying a lovely smile on her face, she walked towards her office. She always beamed with happiness whenever she goes to work with"Senior" every morning.

"Shan-mei,did you checked out the daily Newspaper today?" Lee Qin-see asked the moment she saw Shan mei stepped into the office. Shanmei was flabbergasted by her Senior's question. As all eyes are on her waiting for her reaction, she settled down at her desk unaware of what is going on and was wondering why is everybody giving her a funny and strange expression.

"You don't know yet? You and Director Yin has won the title for the best lovers via the internet
voting." Shen Qi-dong announced as he walked towards Shan-mei with the Newspaper in his hand and landed it on Shan mei's table.

Shan-mei cannot bear her curiosity any longer, she swiftly scanned the newspaper for the news report. The rumours seems to be true. So weird! She shouldn't be so famous outside the company She thought to herself.Besides Xiang-zhe popularity is not too overwhelming to the public. Why was he in the list of the Newspaper? Suddenly she remembered their grand wedding ceremony which was given a special and extensive coverage by the media.This has made the public sees their love story and marriage as a fairytale legend with a beautiful dream.Shan-mei smiled to herself with the feeling of shyness.

"Wow! Two of you completely knocked down the ideal TV superstars Song Cheng-hsien and Song Huey-chiao, the best lovers for the TV series such as Bae Yun-jun and Song yun-a. You guys are really 'hot' huh!" Shen Qi-dong commented nodding his head in a jest.

"What's the matter? You and Director Yin are not stars. What's going on? In my opinion, the two of you has the potential to shoot a film." Xian-da jokingly suggested to Shan-mei.

"Yes!, It is a good idea. If Shan-mei embark in movie making, then I would have the chance to host the TV program "The Cultural Artist Stage" Chen-shui iUmmediately mustered his energy joining in
the conversation with a lively expression as usual.

"You are going to host the TV program! You must be kidding!. You thought that the TV program is a silly comedy, don't you? Ha..ha..It will never happened as long as I am still around. No matter what I should be the first priority to host the TV program." Bragging his seniority in rank Shen Qi-dong seriously pointed out to Chen-shui.

"Both of you can forget about it. There is no difference between making fun of yourself and poking
fun at yourself." Lee Qin-see seems to disagree with the condescending behaviour of her two colleague.

With a cheeky grin on his face, Xianda said "All right! Don't make this kind of joke anymore. If the
Manager-Mr.Kim heard this shocking News, his heart is going to be paralysed."

The day in the office was filled with people taking about this 'hot' topic. Shan-mei was defenceless all
she could do was to smile and blushed with embarrassment. Unknown to others, she secretly hide
and enjoyed the sweet sensation of happiness in her heart.

Xiang-zhe who was working in the office also read the news report. Although it was beyond his expectation, his heart was filled with joy. He could imagined how Shanmei's face blushed being teased
by her colleagues.He wanted so much to go to her rescue, nevertheless he was totally aware his appearance in Shanmei's office could messed things up and worsened the whole situation. Trying to pacify himself, Xiang zhe guessed that with lots of concerned from her colleagues,Shan-mei should be alright by now. He can't wait for her to call him and decided to check if she is really fine. He picked up the telephone handset and dialled out her extension number.

"Hello!" as his voice transmitted through the phone, he anxiously waited for her response. As soon as he heard the sweet voice of his angel, his heart felt so lighted and comforted like a breeze gently blowing over his face.

"It's me! Are you OK!" Xiang-zhe can't help worrying as he recalled of how Shanmei used to cry a lot
whenever she encountered some problems.

"Not too bad! Everybody took turns trying to be my agent in order to take care of my film business.I am carefully selecting the script right now." She made fun of herself.

"Really! Then, I have to congratulate you." Xiang zhe laughed loudly amused by Shan-mei's
reaction to the incidence.

"You don't need to sent me a congratulation. We are in the same shoe. The audiences wouldn't like
to see the movie with only one actress. We too have a part to play in the movie."

On hearing Shan-mei's tone of voice, he felt so tickled and heartening knowing that Shan-mei valued his presence no matter where she is. Needless to say, Xiang-zhe didn't want to be apart from her anytime and anywhere no matter what happened to them.

"Don't you have any thing to say?" Shan-mei asked as she realised his temporary silence.

"Yes, I got one thing to say." Xiang-zhe spoke in a tender tone.

"I missed you so much." expressing his feeling of not getting the chance to see her personally. He simply can't figured out why he started to miss her iUmmediately after saying good-bye to her. Xiang-zhe cannot explained his addiction to her love. If only he could minimised Shan-mei into the smallest
size and plant her tightly in his heart, then he wouldn't have to endure the feeling of missing her.

"That's it? You don't have anything to tell me?" Xiang zhe asked when there was no response from Shan mei. Of course he knew of her shyness to openly react to his confession. Its just that he often likes to tease her.

"I am in the middle of my work. An employee who thinks only of her love will get the boot from the company." Shan-mei said jokingly in a lowered voice.

"Who told you that?" You can tell me who said it and I am going to fire that person iUmmediately because he or she is passing the wrong message." With a big smile on his face Xiang zhe played along
with her joke.

After hanging up the phone, Xiang-zhe peeped a glance on the Newspaper with an overwhelming smile. The title of the 'Best Lover' sounds nice. It has been a life of conjugal bliss for him and Shan mei and hope it will last forever. In addition, it was also very exciting to receive plenty of compliments from more and more people whom they don't even meet before.



******
Although Shan-mei tried to hide her emotion, seeing a pretty smile on her expression everyone in her office could guessed it was Director Yin calling to show his concerned for his wife. Like a gentle breeze blowing on her face, Shan-mei glows with lots of happiness. Their deep love and happiness made other married couple feeling envious and like to catch up, and those who are still single beating up their chest and strongly tread on the floor to show their disappointment.

Looking at each other, Young-Si and Xian-da shake their head with a smile. "What a guy ..Xiang zhe is!" They can't help exchanging their thoughts. It was completely untrue that he didn't know what love is. He is definitely an expert in falling in love.
