Chapter 655: 182: Seeking trouble at your doorstep! Letting off steam! _1
“Furong, oh how we all envy you. You’ve got such a good life. You can make your husband dance to your tunes!”
“Furong, how do you manage to do it? Can you teach the rest of us?”
In an era where the concept of men being superior to women hasn’t faded entirely, how many women could be like Shangguan Furong?
The group mumbled in admiration of Shangguan Furong.
Shangguan Furong herself enjoyed the envious glances from everyone else and laughed, “There’s not much to it, really. You all just need to be a bit more dominant, don’t be so submissive. What’s there to fear about men?”
“Furong, you make it sound so simple. Do you think everyone’s husband is like your Zhao Shen? Someone who tolerates all hits and buillying.”
“As for my husband, I just hope he doesn’t throw tantrums and cut my pocket money. I would be thankful for that.”
Shangguan Furong laughingly said, “True, my husband, Zhao Shen, is like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees me. I call him to the east, and he wouldn’t dream of even looking to the south.”
Everyone envied Shangguan Furong and eventually, the topic came back to food and they started discussing where to eat.
“Speaking of which, I heard that there’s a unique restaurant in Beijing that serves great food, with enthusiastic service and decoration like the Yaochi Wonderland!” said a lady rich in curls.
“Really?” Jia Zhenzhen asked.
“Indeed! A friend of mine told me the desserts there are wonderful! They have mousse cakes and tiramisu and so on…”
“Even my husband mentioned it! He went there with a certain Mr. Wang. Oh, and Furong, your nephew Shangguan Xu was also there!”
Shangguan Furong smirked, “What’s so magical about this restaurant? Is it really that exaggerated?”
“I think it’s called ‘Heavenly Fragrance’? It’s right around Yurtist Road!”
Shangguan Furong stood up from the chair, “Alright, let’s go to that ‘Heavenly Fragrance’ place then.”
“Oh, you are saying ‘Heavenly Fragrance’? Yes, I have also heard of this restaurant!” Jia Zhenzhen continued, “It’s terrific! They have this third floor dedicated exclusively for VIP customer service. Only people of status and prestige in Beijing can get in there! I wish I could get a membership card from them!”
Shangguan Furong laughed, “I’ve never seen such a restaurant in Beijing! Let’s check it out, and maybe also get a membership card.”
Jia Zhenzhen said, “But I’ve heard that the membership cards for Heavenly Fragrance have been sold out. It’s impossible to apply now…”
Shangguan Furong snorted softly, “With money, what membership card can’t you get?”
It’s just a restaurant, what’s the big deal?
They left the house and walked towards ‘Heavenly Fragrance’ together.
Heavenly Fragrance is located in the busiest street on Yurtist Road.
The signboard carries four powerful characters!
There were no people waiting outside the door.
Shangguan Furong snorted with contempt, “Wasn’t there supposed to be a queue? It seems deserted.”
Jia Zhenzhen laughed, “Definitely, the so-called ‘Heavenly Fragrance’ is nothing special!”
The other two also looked unimpressed.
So this was the much-hyped ‘Heavenly Fragrance’!
They only realized what a bustling place it was after they stepped through the door of ‘Heavenly Fragrance’.
In the restaurant, there were separate outer and inner halls.
A light veil divided the outside and inside halls. Subtle sandalwood incense was burning in the corner, a young woman dressed in Hanfu was sitting before a spectacular pile of leaves, playing a pipa.
It felt as alluring as a woman hidden behind her pipa.
Though the queue was in the outer hall, the serene environment didn’t make it seem crowded or noisy. Instead, it was quite charming and made people linger.
“Oh my Gosh! There really is a queue!” Jia Zhenzhen exclaimed.
“This place is so beautiful!”
“Even the waitstaff’s clothes look pretty!”
Even Shangguan Furong was taken aback by the place. It was indeed different from other restaurants.
“This way, please. Is it a party of four?” a waitress in Hanfu approached them.
“Yes.” Shangguan Furong nodded, “There are four of us.”
The waitress led them to a table, “We’ll have to wait a little longer, we are booked on the inside.”
As soon as they sat down, someone provided them with tea and sunflower seeds.
“Hey, are these ancient Chinese clothes you’re wearing?” Jia Zhenzhen asked.
