The Noble Woman's Guide On How to Tease One's Husband

Chapter 6 Night Attack

The Tianque restaurant on Xuanwu street was known as Buriram's number one eatery that was making lots of profits and rarely had any vacancy. The honest and shrewd shopkeeper was a domestic servant who had ascribed the surname Ye. He had never made any mistake since this money-making tree was placed under his management hence it was truly a reassurance to the higher authority, Ye Hong who was the person-in-charge. 

 Unknowing what was going on lately, the head of the family who never showed herself had unexpectedly came here twice in a month. She was neither ostentatious nor looking for his faults. The shopkeeper however was still somewhat nervous as such a venerated great Buddha was just languidly drinking tea in the private room without saying a word. As he was adding water to the teapot, Yue'ya unexpectedly took the initiative asking him to retreat where he hastily left the room and wiped off his sweat. 

 He then went to patrol the lobby as usual but just as he reached downstairs, a waiter came to meet him and protruded his mouth towards the two patrons who were standing in the main lobby. As he looked over, the corner of his mouth immediately twitched. Weren't those King Kook's people? 

 Why did these two gentlemen insist to come eat at Tianque restaurant and not somewhere else with the current delicate situation. When it rains, it really pours as Lisa was also here today. If he didn't handle this properly, he reckoned he would have to pack his bags and leave tomorrow. 

 The shopkeeper was still hesitating when Yue'ya coincidentally walked down from the upper floor, the lower corner of the green skirt swung close to the carved banister and flipped up layers of ripples. The shopkeeper became more nervous that his heart was also fluctuating along with the ripples when he saw her. 

 "Miss Yue'ya. Why did you come down? Does the matriarch have any instructions? Do feel free to speak out and I'll send someone to prepare immediately."

 "There's no need. It's suffice that you entertain those two people." 

 Hearing that, the shopkeeper was stunned as his mind was now filled with misgivings yet he was sensible not to ask any question and merely replied deferentially, "Yes. I know what should be done. Do rest assured, Miss." 

 Yue'ya slightly nodded her head before she turned and walked upstairs. 

 Lu Heng and Yugyeom spent the whole afternoon here. They sat there listening to some legends of the past after finishing the snacks. The storyteller invited by Tianque restaurant was not a mediocre person. He could vividly describe the chronicle of gods and spirits into an animated narration, where the birds and beasts had seemingly come alive in the building, flitted across the sky then landed on the table, with its wings spread wide and its tails wagged charging towards the audience. 

 Throughout the whole narration, only Lu Heng was absorbed in the storytelling. Yugyeom had long become restless. He nudged at Lu Heng with his elbow for a few times but to no avail, thus he had to suppress his annoyance and just continue to listen. When the setting sun outside the window imperceptibly casted faint yellowish rays on the floor, Lu Heng patted the crumbs off his hands after he finished consuming the plate of pastries before calling out to the waiter for their bills. 

Yugyeom finally couldn't help that he glaringly commented as soon as they were out of Tianque restaurant when he stepped foot onto the carriage, "You're truly here to enjoy the delicacies. The whole afternoon you didn't even move your butt. Is it possible you are waiting for Ye family to deliver themselves to the door?" 

 "Didn't they just deliver themselves to the door?" Lu Heng profoundly smiled. 

Yugyeom had always hated him for deliberately complicated matters but unfortunately his mind couldn't stimulate as rapidly and he could only look helplessly each time, awaiting for him to reveal the answer. Lu Heng however was tactful this time and didn't beat around the bush, instead he guided him step by step towards the answer to the riddle.
