"Is this the life of a noble?" Ye Shan sat by the window and looked out, sighing deeply in her heart.
Payton's conversation and demeanor made her feel ashamed of herself. Coupled with the nearly ten Rolls-Royce Phantoms in front of and behind the car, Ye Shan felt as humble as dust.
"Remember, you are my secretary, don't show any timidity." Lin Zhiming said calmly.
"I, I understand." Ye Shan took a deep breath and nodded.
She originally thought that this trip would be an easy one, but the reality told her that this trip was not easy at all. She was only facing a housekeeper now, and she would have to face various nobles in the future.
How to express your own magnanimity is really a test of your psychological quality and acting skills.
The convoy moved forward, passed through the city of York, and finally entered the Redbud Manor.
The iron gate of the manor is extremely huge, and upon entering, there is a huge circular fountain.
There are various flowers and plants on both sides, which looks like the Garden of Eden in a little girl's dream.
On the other side of the fountain is a huge building.
The building is six stories high and is entirely white. The walls look like they are made of very expensive stones.
The motorcade slowly stopped at the door of the building.
At this time, the door of the building was open, and there were a row of servants standing on the left and right sides of the door, one row of men and one row of women.
The women in the two rows of servants are all in their twenties, with blond hair and blue eyes, and are as beautiful as flowers. The men are generally in their thirties, with mature and calm temperaments.
Each of these servants looks very good, and any one of them can be used as a front. But now, these people are just servants here.
After the car stopped, Payton, who got out of the car earlier, walked to Lin Zhiming's car, bent down and opened the door.
"Please get out of the car," Payton said.
Lin Zhiming nodded and got out of the car first, and then Ye Shan followed Lin Zhiming and got out of the car.
"The master is already waiting for you in the living room, and the lady is still dressing up. Please come with me!" Payton said with a smile.
"Okay, you're done!" Lin Zhiming said, walking into the building with Payton.
Ye Shan took a deep breath and followed Lin Zhiming forward without looking away.
Behind the door is a walkway. On the left and right sides of the walkway are artworks such as oil paintings, which are valuable at first sight.
"My favorite thing is to collect art. Everything here comes from the Middle Ages." Payton is a very good talker. As he walked, he chatted with Lin Zhiming about the art next to him.
Just chatting like this, the two came to the hall.
At this time, in the hall, Ryan Portman was sitting on the soft sofa.
The floor is covered with a strong Persian-style carpet, and exquisite coffee tables and tea sets are placed on the carpet.
Several maids were busy making tea. They were all wearing maid uniforms, and their skirts only reached their thighs. The scenery of their thighs was looming as they moved around, making people want to take a second look.
"Mr. Duke." Lin Zhiming saw Ryan Portman and said hello with a smile.
"Lin Zhiming." Ryan Portman waved to Lin Zhiming as a greeting, then pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down."
Lin Zhiming nodded and sat on the sofa.
Ye Shan walked to Lin Zhiming and stood next to her, her hands naturally crossed in front of her.
Ryan Portman glanced at Ye Shan, and then said to Lin Zhiming, "You nobles from the Dragon Kingdom only take one person with you when you go out?"
"The key to leading people is not to have too many. In my opinion, if I lead one of her, I can lead more than a dozen." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"What you said makes sense." Ryan Portman smiled and nodded, and then said, "I'm very happy that you can come to my birthday party this time."
"This is my honor, Mr. Duke." Lin Zhiming said.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Ryan." Ryan Portman said.
"Etiquette cannot be discarded!" Lin Zhiming shook his head.
"Lin Zhiming, to be honest, I didn't agree with my daughter being with you at first." Ryan Portman said.
"Oh? Why?" Lin Zhiming asked curiously.
"Because we nobles can only marry nobles. If a noble marries a commoner, he will be ridiculed by other nobles." Ryan Portman said.
"But as far as I know, a commoner woman married into the royal family of the Windmill King decades ago, right?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"So that incident made the Windmill King's family the laughing stock of our aristocratic circle. In our circle, no matter you are a monarch or just an ordinary aristocrat, as long as you marry a commoner, you will become a joke.
So, after knowing that Natalie asked you to be her boyfriend, I was opposed to it at first," said Ryan Portman.
"Then why did you agree again?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"That's because...in my eyes, you are already considered a noble of the Dragon Kingdom." Ryan Portman said.
"Oh?" Lin Zhiming said with a half-smile, "In our Dragon Kingdom, the term "noble" is not fashionable."
"It's okay to say that you are powerful. You are the Dragon King and the head of the Lin family, one of the four noble families in the Dragon Kingdom. You are also a member of the Illuminati. Although it is only an Asian branch, for you who are not thirty years old,
It is also very difficult, all these means that you also belong to the powerful class in the Eastern world, and are equivalent to our nobles, so... I agreed to let you two be together." Ryan Portman said.
"You agreed, but I didn't agree..." Lin Zhiming cursed secretly in his heart, but said, "Thank you very much."
"But now you two are just boyfriend and girlfriend. You don't have to think too far ahead about many things. At least now you won't embarrass our family. That's enough." Ryan Portman said.
"I am very serious about Natalie and am rushing to get married!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Oh? Really? Have you talked about this with Natalie?" Ryan Portman asked.
"Not yet, but we both feel that the other person is the one we are destined to be." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"If that's really the case, that's a good thing. Let's have some tea." Ryan Portman said.
The maid placed an exquisite tea cup in front of Lin Zhiming, which contained black tea with the characteristics of Fu Guo.
There are some exquisite refreshments on the table.
Lin Zhiming picked up the black tea and took a sip, and found that the black tea here was similar to the black tea in Yiwu City, Longguo.
"I heard that the black tea from the Fu Kingdom was originally transplanted from Yiwu City in the Dragon Kingdom, and it tastes almost the same." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"No, no, no, the black tea from the Fu Kingdom has nothing to do with the Yiwu City of the Long Kingdom. Our black tea comes from the ancient palace. The royal family at that time specially made a kind of tea suitable for the taste of the nobles. The last one
After tea was introduced to Yiwu City in the Dragon Kingdom, it was called black tea, and here, it is called blacktea." Ryan Portman said.
"Well, maybe I'm ignorant." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"To be a qualified nobleman's husband, you must have a sufficient understanding of our country's history, court etiquette, geography, humanities, etc.," said Ryan Portman.
"I will study!" Lin Zhiming said.
At this moment, faint footsteps came from behind Lin Zhiming.
The sound of footsteps getting louder and louder from far away also means that someone is approaching.
Lin Zhiming turned around and took a look and saw Natalie in a court dress.
I have to say that Natalie is really a perfect dresser. This court dress on her perfectly brings out her tall figure and noble temperament.
With a smile on her face, Natalie looked at Lin Zhiming and said, "My dear, you are here."
Lin Zhiming smiled, stood up and walked straight towards Natalie.
Natalie hesitated slightly, and then saw Lin Zhiming walking up to her with a smile on his face and hugging her.
"I miss you so much!" Lin Zhiming hugged Natalie tightly and gently pressed his lips to Natalie's ear.
Natalie had goosebumps all over her body. She wanted to push Lin Zhiming away, but found that Lin Zhiming held her so tightly that she couldn't push her away at all.
"Isn't this what you want to see, dear?" Lin Zhiming asked in a low voice.
Natalie's face froze slightly, and then she said, "Dear, my dad is here, please pay attention to your etiquette."
"Okay." Lin Zhiming smiled and let go.
Natalie breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Zhiming's movement at the next moment stunned her.
I saw Lin Zhiming skillfully reaching behind her waist and hugging her waist, and then walked towards the sofa.
Lin Zhiming's generous and warm hands pressed on Natalie's waist, bringing a strange feeling.
Natalie had a smile on her face, but her heart was already a little hot.
Ye Shan stood aside and watched Lin Zhiming's actions. She was a little curious about the relationship between Lin Zhiming and Natalie. If they were really a couple, then why did he bring her to the country of corruption? Isn't he afraid of himself?
Is your girlfriend jealous?
Coming to the edge of the sofa, Lin Zhiming hugged Natalie and sat down.
Ryan Portman looked at the two people in front of him and felt quite satisfied.
Lin Zhiming is young and has achieved great achievements. He is definitely the best son-in-law candidate. Although he has been divorced, in the Western world, divorce is just like breaking up. It is a very simple matter and will basically not bring any problems to the new marriage.
There are no obstacles, so Ryan Portman doesn't care whether Lin Zhiming is divorced or not.
"Natalie, Dad, I'm very happy to see you finally find your own happiness." Ryan Portman said with emotion.
"This is all fate." Natalie looked at Lin Zhiming tenderly.
"Yes, fate!" Lin Zhiming smiled and nodded.
Seeing Lin Zhiming's smile, Natalie didn't know why, but felt a hint of chill from this smile.
