Lin Zhiming never expected that his love rival would do this to him as soon as they met.
Kissing the back of the hand is indeed a noble etiquette, although it is rarely used anymore.
If Lin Zhiming kissed him now, he would be truly insulted, and he would be insulted as a powerful person in the Dragon Kingdom. This would not only embarrass his own people, but also embarrass the Dragon Kingdom.
This is absolutely not okay.
If you don't kiss, then the prince has already put his hand in front of you, and he is asking you to kiss the back of his hand in a gesture of giving you face. If you don't kiss, you are disrespecting the court etiquette and not giving the prince face.
If you don't give the prince face in his mansion, the only outcome is to be kicked out of the prince's mansion.
In this case, Lin Zhiming still lost his own face and also the face of the Dragon Kingdom.
Everyone looked at Lin Zhiming, wanting to see how Lin Zhiming would respond to such a situation.
Lin Zhiming smiled slightly and said, "This is my honor."
After saying that, Lin Zhiming moved his mouth towards the back of the prince's hand.
The nobles who were watching had joking expressions on their faces. It seemed that Lin Zhiming was planning to kiss the back of the prince's hand.
This is reasonable. After all, when Lin Zhiming found Natalie as his girlfriend, he must have taken a fancy to the Bauhinia Duke behind Natalie. If Lin Zhiming offended the prince at this time, then the Bauhinia Duke might not
Will let Lin Zhiming and Natalie be together.
Therefore, it was well worth suffering a little humiliation at this time in exchange for the stability of his relationship with Natalie.
At this moment, Lin Zhiming's body suddenly leaned back violently.
"Ahhh..." Lin Zhiming took a few deep breaths and looked like he wanted to sneeze.
Seeing Lin Zhiming's appearance, Wesley's expression changed. He was in front of Lin Zhiming. If Lin Zhiming sneezed, shouldn't he just hit him in the face?
Wesley hurriedly tried his best to pull his hand away from Lin Zhiming's.
But... would Lin Zhiming be someone who could easily pull his hand away?
You are planning to insult me. If I let you retract your hand easily, will I still have my face?
Soon enough, Lin Zhiming suddenly sneezed out.
"Ah sneeze!"
It is said that when a person sneezes, the speed of saliva can reach more than 100 kilometers per hour.
A simple conversion is 1.5 kilometers per minute, which is 25 meters per second.
The saliva can fly two meters away in the equivalent of tenth of a second.
The distance between Lin Zhiming and Wesley was only about one meter. In other words, Lin Zhiming's saliva fell on Prince Wesley's face within 0.05 seconds after Lin Zhiming sneezed.
Fortunately, Lin Zhiming had no bad breath and no phlegm in his lungs.
Of course, for Prince Wesley, this is not a blessing.
He clearly felt the saliva coming towards him, along with a stream of air blowing on his face.
After that, Lin Zhiming let go of his hand.
It was like letting go accidentally.
All the connections are so wonderful and seamless.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I really, really can't hold it back...ah..." Lin Zhiming said mid-sentence, and tilted his head back again, looking like he was planning to sneeze.
This time Wesley was finally able to escape. He was a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms. At this time, he exploded with super reflexes and dodged two meters away. He was so nimble that he didn't look like a fat man at all.
"Sneeze!" Lin Zhiming sneezed again, but this time the sneeze did not hit Wesley.
"I, I may be a little allergic!" Lin Zhiming explained.
"No, it's okay." Wesley shook his head, and a trace of anger flashed across his face. Then, Wesley said, "Mr. Lin, you talk to everyone first, I have to leave beforehand."
After saying that, Wesley turned and left.
"Just leaving like this? Your Highness, why don't you carry it with your own hands?" Lin Zhiming asked quickly.
Wesley ignored Lin Zhiming and disappeared in front of Lin Zhiming in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, it's so embarrassing, so embarrassing!" Lin Zhiming said to the person next to him with an embarrassed and apologetic look.
The nobles next to him were also a little dumbfounded.
Is there such a thing for a special girl? Just sneeze and blow away the prince?
This is really a genius operation. It not only avoids the embarrassment of kissing the back of the hand, but also avoids the rudeness of not kissing the back of the hand.
Fortunately, these nobles don't speak northern dialect, otherwise there would definitely be a wave of old iron 666 at this time.
"Are you okay?" Natalie walked to Lin Zhiming and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay." Lin Zhiming shook his head.
"I have said before, Prince Wesley is a very weird person. Fortunately, you reacted quickly enough!" Natalie said with lingering fear.
"To put it bluntly, I can kill several of these people in one go." Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"Pfft..." Natalie couldn't help laughing, but then she immediately straightened her face and said, "In an environment like this, it's better not to say vulgar things like farts."
"You don't want me to say, didn't you have a bang in your mouth just now?" Lin Zhiming said.
"You!" Natalie didn't expect Lin Zhiming to be so talkative. She glared at Lin Zhiming and then said, "There are many nobles here tonight. It is better to keep a low profile. For nobles, one's reputation is not the same."
It’s still very important.”
"Okay." Lin Zhiming nodded, then looked around at everyone present and said, "Are all these people here to taste wine and talk about art?"
"Probably." Natalie nodded and looked at the people present. She found that there seemed to be a lot of people here tonight. There were dozens of nobles gathered in the hall right now.
Although Prince Wesley also held such parties in the past, there were usually only one or twenty people, which was completely incomparable with the scale tonight.
"Mr. Lin, you are so awesome!"
While Natalie was observing the people around her, Ye Shan whispered to Lin Zhiming.
She really felt that Lin Zhiming was so powerful that he was able to handle such a situation with ease. Not only did he resolve her own embarrassment, but she also took advantage of the prince. If it were her, she would have been confused by the situation just now.
"It's no big deal." Lin Zhiming responded proudly.
At this moment, a faint noise suddenly came from the entrance of the hall.
Lin Zhiming and Natalie looked towards the door together.
At the door, Auden and a female companion were walking into the hall from outside.
Auden was wearing a luxurious dress, and his female companion was also very well dressed. Moreover, his female companion seemed to be a big star, very beautiful, even surpassing Natalie.
Many people at the door greeted Oden warmly, and Oden responded to these people one by one.
It was obvious that Auden knew all these people and had pretty good relationships with them.
"He's actually here!" Natalie frowned and said angrily.
"Come on, come on." Lin Zhiming shrugged indifferently. He dared to criticize even the prince, so a little Oden is nothing.
"Oden has been in the aristocratic circle since he was a child. He knows many people and is very good at doing things. He has invested in many projects and has business dealings with many aristocrats. Oden even has a management company of his own.
Helping these nobles manage their properties, he is a popular figure in the aristocratic circle. Many people think that my father should pass on the title to Oden. In this case, our family's property will be much larger in the next few decades than it is now."
Natalie said, her voice seemed calm, but a trace of powerlessness could be heard.
Think about it, facing a competitor like Oden, Natalie has no advantage except for being higher in the succession.
Of course, Natalie now has another advantage, that is, having Lin Zhiming.
"You may not be much worse than him, at least your other half is much better than his other half." Lin Zhiming said.
"You really know how to praise yourself." Natalie rolled her eyes at Lin Zhiming.
"It's necessary." Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Let's go, come with me to meet him."
After saying that, Lin Zhiming took Natalie's hand and walked straight to Oden.
"Go to see him? What for?" Natalie asked in a panic. To be honest, she was a little afraid of meeting Oden. Although Oden was her cousin, the pressure that Oden brought to her was real.
too big.
"He is your cousin. If you meet such a Shenhe, if you don't say hello, people will think you are afraid of him!" Lin Zhiming said.
Natalie was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lin Zhiming meant.
She sighed, and after knowing Lin Zhiming's thoughts, she stopped asking any more questions.
The two came to Oden.
"Cousin." Lin Zhiming smiled and greeted Oden.
"Mr. Lin." Oden looked at Lin Zhiming and said calmly, "You haven't married my cousin yet, so it's really too early for you to call me cousin now."
"I don't think it's too early at all, because it won't take long for your sister to marry me!" Lin Zhiming said.
This sentence made all the nobles watching the excitement flash in their eyes.
Before, Duke Bauhinia only said that Natalie had found a boyfriend, but he never said that the two would get married, let alone the date of their wedding. Now Lin Zhiming suddenly said such a sentence, could it be Bauhinia?
The Duke has agreed to their marriage and set a date?
If this is really the case, then things will be interesting, because once Natalie marries Lin Zhiming, it means that she is not far away from inheriting the position of Duke, and this also means that Oden wants to inherit
Hopes for the Duke's position became even more remote.
The entire European aristocratic circle knows that Auden really wants to inherit the position of Duke of Bauhinia. Now that Lin Zhiming has mentioned his marriage to Natalie, Auden's hope of inheriting the duke has become slim. So Auden?
