Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 464: Miss Qin’s New Year’s Gift

The Nalan Family has a hot spring villa in the countryside. The doctor advised to avoid the wound and soak in the mineral-rich hot spring every day; it is very helpful for muscle relaxation, blood circulation, and body recovery.

But if he stays in the Imperial City, never mind hot springs, who knows if one day Young Master would want to dance with Miss Qin, then using an auxiliary prosthesis wouldn’t be impossible.

So, when Lu Yi heard that Miss Qin wasn’t coming to the Nalan Family for the New Year, he truly breathed a sigh of relief.

He then rushed to prepare for Young Master’s return to the countryside for recuperation during the New Year.

After a busy day, working so hard that his hands cramped, he received a delivery in the evening.

A heavy, small box.

"I didn’t buy any New Year goods, who would send me something?" Lu Yi curiously opened the box and saw a flamboyant "Qin" character on the delivery note.

"Could it be Miss Qin... Ah ah ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, he could not help but scream in excitement, startling the engineers around him: "Secretary Lu, what’s wrong?"

Lu Yi: "It’s Xinghe’s signed books! Seven copies!"

What the heck.

Amazing.

The engineers also put down their work and gathered around.

"No one is allowed to touch them, can’t touch my treasures!" Lu Yi guardedly held his precious "eggs" like a mother hen, carefully picking up a book and flipping open the flyleaf.

Xinghe and you, both legends.

Signed, Xinghe.

Ten words that brought Lu Yi to tears.

These are from the living author, who wrote especially for him.

The engineers were also envious: "Secretary Lu, could you sell me one?"

Lu Yi hurriedly hugged the box, alert: "Definitely not! We seven Calabash Brothers don’t have enough to share yet."

Hmm, earlier he seemed to have said something strange.

No matter, anyway, these seven books are rare treasures, no one can take them away.

The engineers sighed:

"Then could we at least have a look, or just touch them?"

"Yeah, I’ve never seen Xinghe’s actual signature, only images from the book club."

"Can I take a closer look, just touch it..."

Normally quite proud, the engineers were now trying to flatter Lu Yi, making him feel proud.

Miss Qin is truly impressive.

She really didn’t deceive him; she sent him seven copies!

He was feeling happy.

A cold laugh suddenly sounded behind him: "What signed books? They must be fake."

Lu Yi was displeased, turned to see Jun Ruyi: "Miss Jun, I have been a loyal fan of Xinghe for years; do you think I can’t distinguish original from fake?"

Jun Ruyi saw the book was Lu Yi’s and was a bit polite: "Secretary Lu, you might have been deceived. The latest news I got is that ten signed books were never issued; author Xinghe refused all signing requests, not giving a single signed book to the publishers."

Lu Yi: "Impossible! I have the newest edition in my hands!"

Jun Ruyi narrowed her eyes: "Well, it depends on who gave them to you. Maybe someone tried to fool you. Do you think the President Mansion’s information could be wrong? The publisher dares lie to the President Mansion?"

The engineers, hearing Jun Ruyi’s words, felt it was plausible:

"Yes, yes, Secretary Lu, the news Miss Jun got wouldn’t be wrong."

"If even the President Mansion couldn’t get signed books, your friend surely couldn’t either; it’s probably fake to fool you."

"Who is your friend? Confront them."

Lu Yi’s face turned gloomy: "It’s a New Year gift from Miss Qin; Miss Qin wouldn’t lie. Her character is dependable."

Miss Qin?

Jun Ruyi’s face had an even thicker look of mockery—
