Chapter 184 - The Misunderstanding of the Publishing House’s Employees! (1/2)

My wife?

I really do wish so.

But I can’t afford to have such a ‘wife’.

Zhang Ye gave a perfunctory smile to the visitors standing outside, “Oh no, I’m not married yet. That’s a friend of mine. She came to visit and to borrow some books.”

The Heavenly Queen continued sitting with her back facing them. She did not make a sound.

The female editor felt that it was a little strange. Even if they were just friends, how could she not stand up to welcome them when there visitors were about to enter the house? She did not even turn her head? What kind of situation was this? Why was it so bizarre? The female editor courteously greeted the woman whose face could not be seen, “h.e.l.lo, elder sister.” She could see that she was older just by the way she dressed up and her hairstyle. And Zhang Ye’s reputation was not small either, so being his friend, calling her elder sister would not be wrong.

The woman who was reading the books acknowledged softly and then continued doing her thing.

The female editor awkwardly scratched her hair and said to Zhang Ye, “Uh, did we…..come at the wrong time?”

Zhang Ye could only make up something saying, “No, she….she just had an argument with me. Her mood’s not that good. Don’t mind her. I’m sorry about it.”

Argument?

Weren’t you just friends? What argument?

The female editor thought to herself that this must definitely be your girlfriend!

Zhang Lu and the other editor also thought it was strange. They blinked and looked at Zhang Ye, “Teacher Zhang, we brought the books over. Where do you want to put it?”

A thick pile of books in a box.

Zhang Ye was surprised, “So many books? There must be 20 in there?”

Zhang Lu laughed, “30 books, and they are all first prints. There’s no bulk print yet.”

The editor holding the box looked inside the apartment, “Where do you want to place these? Look through them first. If they’re okay, then we will do the bulk printing.”

Zhang Ye immediately blocked the door, “There’s no need. I trust you all. There won’t be any problems.”

“It’s better to look at it first. If by any chance there’s a wrong word, it would affect the quality and sales.” Zhang Lu suggested.

The male editor had already entered the apartment, “I will put it here on the floor then. Hu, it’s rather heavy.”

Seeing the situation, Zhang Ye turned back to check on Zhang Yuanqi’s position frequently, “This….”

But Zhang Lu and the female editor also followed in and even closed the door. Zhang Ye could not even make them leave now. There was no reason to!

This was bad!

The cat’s going to be out of the bag soon!

“Let’s…. Where should we sit and discuss?” Zhang Lu asked.

Zhang Ye wiped his sweat, “On the bed. Feel free to take a seat.”

The Heavenly Queen, who was reading, was facing the corner. If they sat on the bed, they would not be able to see her face. At most, they would be able to see her side partially.

The female editor squatted down to open the box and took out a few books. She gave one to Zhang Ye first, “Take a look.” and then turned around and politely said to the woman with an extremely beautiful back view, “Sis, for you…..”

Before she could finish saying, the beautiful woman said coldly, “No need.”

The female editor choked and coughed, “Okay then.” The two of them really argued? From the looks of it, it was a very big argument. She didn’t give any face at all?

Zhang Ye suddenly felt a loss of face, too, “Hey you, she was pa.s.sing you a book.” He knew that was the Heavenly Queen’s att.i.tude, but even so, even if you did not want to turn around, you can’t say that. Where would this bro put his face now! So Zhang Ye took the book from the female editor’s hands and walked over. He put it into Zhang Yuanqi’s hands, “Help me take a look, too, to see whether there are any typos.”

The Heavenly Queen did not reply.

Zhang Ye tried to smooth things over, “Take a seat. I will get some tea for you.”
