"What good things did you buy my dad?" asked Natalie, curious.

"Look at this!" Lin Zhiming handed the box to Natalie.

Natalie opens the box and finds that inside the box is an oil painting.

"It's... The work of Master Millsap?" asked Natalie in surprise after glancing at the painting.

"Yes. Lin Zhiming said with a smile, "It took me a lot of effort to get this painting, I know that your father likes this kind of art, so I thought of giving him Millsap's painting as a birthday gift, he should like it." ”

"My dad will absolutely like it, to be honest, Millsap is a very well-known painter in aristocratic circles, because there are relatively few works, so it is a very proud thing for anyone to have his works, just like yesterday, there were so many works of art in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince, but only Mr. Millsap's paintings were taken, which is enough to see the value of Mr. Millsap's paintings!" said Natalie seriously.

"That's good, then I'll hide the painting first, by the way, do you have a safe? I don't seem to have one here!" Lin Zhiming said.

"I've got a safe there, you can give me the picture, I'll keep it in the safe in my room!" Natalie said.

"Okay!" Lin Zhiming nodded and handed the box to Natalie.

Natalie then took the painting back to her room along with the box and placed it in her safe.

After that, Lin Zhiming came to the door of Natalie's room and said to Natalie, "Honey, let's go out for a walk, how about it?"

"Walking?" Natalie asked, stunned for a moment, "Where are you going?"

"Your manor is so big, take a look around, my assistant, she told me more than once that she wanted to take pictures in your manor, so that she could send it to the circle of friends to show off, hey, young people like this kind of vain head, but I'm the boss, how can I meet people's small requirements, so let's take her out together, if there is any scenery that can be forced, you can take us there!" Lin Zhiming said.

"It's okay!" Natalie nodded, and then, Lin Zhiming took Natalie to the door of Ye Shan's room, called Ye Shan out, and the three of them left the residence together, and walked to the place with a good scenery under the leadership of Natalie.

Not long after the three of them left, a servant pushed a cart into Natalie's room.

He looked like he was going to clean Natalie's room, but as the man walked to Natalie's room, he closed the door to Natalie's room and walked to the safe.

The safe had been locked, but it was hard for the servant to take out some very professional tools from the cart, and then began to crack the safe.

It didn't take long for the safe to be opened.

The maid took out the gift that Natalie had just deposited for his father, and after that, the servant closed the safe, put the gift on the cart and covered it, and pushed the cart out of Natalie's room.

After more than an hour, the maid came to Natalie's room again, opened Natalie's safe as usual, and then put the box he had taken from inside, and then closed the safe again, cleaning all traces before leaving Natalie's room.

In the evening, Lin Zhiming and others ended most of the day's photo trip and returned to their residence.

Ye Shan is not a person who likes to show off, but she was still forced to take photos for an afternoon, and at the same time posted several moments of friends, fully showing her love for vanity.

Fast forward to the next day.

It's the birthday of Duke Bauhinia Ryan Portman!

As the third most noble nobleman in the entire Rotten Country, the birthday of Duke Bauhinia Ryan Portman has attracted much attention, and because it is rumored that Duke Bauhinia intends to announce a major decision at the birthday dinner, there are many more people paying attention to Ryan Portman's birthday party this time than before.

Some speculate that Ryan Portman's fateful decision is to pass on the position of Duke of Bauhinia to Natalie, while others speculate that it may have something to do with Natalie's marriage.

Either way, this birthday dinner is destined to be a very, very big event.

Lin Zhiming was woken up before dawn in the morning, and then a large group of makeup artists and costume artists approached Lin Zhiming's room.

Before, Lin Zhiming could still wear the Tang costume of the Dragon Kingdom or something, but on an important day like today, Ryan Portman specially asked Lin Zhiming to only wear their aristocratic clothes.

There was no way, Lin Zhiming could only accept his fate.

It took more than an hour for Lin Zhiming to finally put on a complete set of aristocratic outfits.

White stockings, peaked leather shoes, a medieval dress, a curly wig, and a pale face.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Zhiming took a deep breath and secretly told himself that all this effort was worth it.

To tell the truth, Lin Zhiming didn't think that there was anything good or bad about the clothes of the East and the West, because the cultural backgrounds of various places are different, so you can't say that Tang Hanfu is better than other people's court dresses, nor can you say that court dresses are more noble than Tang Hanfu, he can only say that his aesthetics can't reach the same level as the people here, so he looks at himself very awkwardly now.

"Young Master, Miss has been waiting for you for a long time!" a servant stood at the door and reminded.

"I know!" Lin Zhiming nodded, then turned around and walked out of his room and came to the living room.

There were quite a few people in the living room, all of whom were relatives of Duke Bauhinia.

Here in the Rotten Country, relatives come earlier than ordinary guests, because after all, there is a blood relationship.

Ryan Portman sat on the couch, surrounded by a large group of relatives, all chatting with him.

However, Ryan Portman was not in great shape, sitting there with slightly squinted eyes and a breathing mask on his face.

"Zhifang!" Natalie saw Lin Zhiming appear, and hurriedly walked in front of Lin Zhiming.

Lin Zhiming glanced at Natalie, and the whole person was stunned.

Today's Natalie is still wearing a court dress, the upper body is a corset, and the lower body is a long skirt, however, this court dress looks much more beautiful than the dress I saw a few days ago, his upper body is black, and it is full of lace patterns, and Natalie's chest is exposed above, because the waist squeezes the flesh up, so Natalie's upper circumference looks unusually plump, and the snow-white skin unique to Caucasians is like milk, which makes people want to lick it.

"You're a little late, and everyone was talking about you just now. Natalie said.

"What are you talking about me?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Aunt Avril said that she had heard your name when she was traveling in the Dragon Kingdom, and that you are a very powerful person in the Dragon Kingdom!" Natalie said, gesturing to a woman next to her.

"Aunt Avril, hello!" Lin Zhiming smiled at the other party and nodded.

"Hello!" the woman also smiled and nodded to Lin Zhiming.

"This is Uncle Bieber, an expert in Oriental history who is currently taking Chinese language and literature classes at the University of Birmingham, and he has heard of you!" Natalie said, gesturing at a fat balding man.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Zhiming, many of my friends in the Dragon Kingdom have mentioned your name to me, saying that you are the best young man in the Dragon Kingdom in recent years!" said the bald fat man to Lin Zhiming in fluent Chinese.

"That's really my honor!" Lin Zhiming smiled.

"I'll introduce you to you again, this is..."

Natalie introduced the relatives present to Lin Zhiming very seriously, and Lin Zhiming smiled and nodded to them one by one.

Some of these people are also like Avril Bieber before, smiling and saying hello to Lin Zhiming, some of them are expressionless, Lin Zhiming only responds to them when he greets them, and some people simply don't speak with a cold face.

"Brother, I still think it's not appropriate to let Natalie be with a dragon country, and we nobles should find nobles as partners. ”

Just as Lin Zhiming was greeting the people around him, a thin old woman spoke.

The woman's name was Scarlett Portman, the sister of Ryan Portman, Natalie's aunt, and Oden's mother.

As soon as she opened her mouth, the fiery crowd that had been chatting suddenly quieted down.

"Auntie, you also heard what everyone said just now, Zhiming also belongs to the elite class in the Dragon Country, and his status is like that of his father in the Corrupt Country!" Natalie said.

"Can it be the same? In the Dragon Country, he is indeed a nobleman, but the powerful are different from the nobles, our nobles have a thousand-year-old heritage, and the blood of each generation of nobles comes from the noblest bloodline, but what about him? I have investigated, he is just a wild seed born to a woman his father was looking for outside, which point of bloodline can match the nobles?" asked Scarlett with a cold face.

"Wild seeds?!"

When these two words came out of Scarlett's mouth, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly dropped below freezing, because she seemed to be talking about Lin Zhifang, but in fact she was talking about Natalie, because Natalie was also a wild seed born to the woman Ryan Portman was looking for outside.

Natalie's face suddenly turned ugly, and Ryan Portman's brow furrowed on the sofa.

Just as Natalie was about to speak, a figure suddenly flashed past Natalie.

When Natalie came back to her senses, the figure had already come to Scarlett, and then, without any hesitation, the figure slapped Scarlett directly.

Scarlett is just an ordinary old woman, where did she hide from this slap.

With a snap, Scarlett was hit by this slap, and the whole person staggered a few steps to the side.

"Next time I hear you squirting feces all over your mouth, I don't care who you are, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Lin Zhiming looked at Scarlett and said with murderous intent on his face.
