Mary died, reportedly by stumbling into a blender, and then being twisted into several pieces, in a miserable state.

"Just dead?!" Natalie asked in disbelief.

"Is it true that you don't want to be Auden?" asked Lin Zhiming with a calm face.

"You know Auden is going to kill her?" asked Natalie.

"I don't know, I just don't think it's good for Auden to be alive, but I didn't expect this accident to come so soon. Lin Zhiming said.

Natalie's face was a little ugly.

"Let's go back and get some rest. Lin Zhiming patted Natalie on the shoulder.

Natalie nodded, and then said goodbye to Lin Zhiming and left.

Lin Zhiming took Ye Shan to his room under the guidance of a servant.

His room is located on the third floor, and the room is a large size, not only a bedroom, but also a large living room.

The decoration style of the room is still a water European aristocratic style.

"My room is next door, Mr. Lin, you can call me at any time if you have anything. Ye Shan said.

"Hmm. Lin Zhiming nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down.

The sofa is soft, and it's the kind of soft that is very expensive.

"You go back and rest first. Lin Zhiming said.

"Okay. Ye Shan nodded, and then left Lin Zhiming's room.

After Lin Zhiming sat on the sofa for a while, he got up and walked around the room.

After walking around, Lin Zhiming returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.

At this moment, Lin Zhiming's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Lin Zhiming picked up his mobile phone and took a look, and found that it was from the imperial capital.

Lin Zhiming picked up the phone.

"Knowing your fate, I'm glad that you've finally taken this step. Guo Lao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What step has you taken?" Lin Zhiming asked in surprise.

"I know you're already over there in the Rotten Country, and you're officially meeting Ryan Portman as your boyfriend!"

"And then?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Aren't you doing this just to help us get back the lithography machine? Don't think I don't know, you say you don't want to sacrifice for the country, but in fact you still do it. Guo Lao said.

"You're wrong, I'm here because I'm really in love with Natalie, and I'm coming to her for no other reason than love. Lin Zhiming said.

"Huh?" Guo Lao was stunned.

"I think Natalie is the woman I love the most, and I want to marry her. Lin Zhiming said again.

"Is it inconvenient for you to talk over there?" asked Guo Lao.

"It's okay. Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Don't say it, Guo Lao, I'm going to rest." ”

After speaking, Lin Zhiming hung up the phone directly, and then threw the phone aside.

Not long after, Guo Lao sent a message, but Lin Zhiming didn't mean to look at it, he closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

At the same time, somewhere in this building.

Ryan Portman sits on the couch with a headset in his hand.

Lin Zhiming's voice came from the earphones.

Ryan Portman listened attentively, and when he heard Lin Zhiming say that Natalie was the woman he loved the most, Ryan Portman smiled.

He put the headphones aside and said to Peyton in front of him, "It seems that Lin Zhiming came this time just for Natalie." ”

"Perhaps. Peyton nodded, and then said, "Actually, whether he came with other purposes or not, as long as he can stay with Miss, it will be of great help to Miss, and it is not in vain that you took the initiative to tell her about being with Miss." ”

"Natalie still thinks I, as a father, don't want to help her. Ryan Portman smiled helplessly.

"Your help to her is always invisible, Miss has not lived in the aristocratic circle since she was a child, and she has not done much intrigues, so it is normal not to notice your help to her. Peyton said.

"If you want to become a qualified Duke of Bauhinia, you must have extraordinary intelligence and strategy, if you can't even deal with a few other heirs in line, then what qualifications do you have to be my heir. I've given Natalie the card now, and it's up to her to see what she can do. Ryan Portman said.

"Mademoiselle will definitely be a person who is in control of the overall situation, as you wish. Peyton said.

"I hope so, I'm running out of time, ahem!" Ryan Portman said, coughing violently.

On the other side, in Natalie's room.

The first thing Natalie did when she got back to her room was to take a shower.

She warmed up the water, letting it wash over her body as if something dirty was on her.

After a long time, Natalie walked out of the bathroom naked.

She was flushed, as if she had just finished a sauna.

Natalie walked up to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, all red.

"Lin Zhiming, I hope that my efforts can be exchanged for you enough in return!" Natalie muttered to herself.

Night falls.

In order to welcome Lin Zhiming's arrival, Ryan Portman specially held a welcome dinner and invited many nobles to attend.

Lin Zhiming changed into aristocratic clothes, met with these nobles as Natalie's boyfriend, had a meal, and drank wine.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very good, these nobles did not look down on Lin Zhiming because he was not a nobleman, but chatted and drank with Lin Zhiming very enthusiastically.

On the one hand, it is because of Lin Zhiming's own strong relationship, and on the other hand, it is naturally because of Ryan Portman's relationship, Lin Zhiming may become Natalie's husband in the future, unless your brain is broken, or it is with some kind of purpose, it is impossible to stand up and mock Lin Zhiming for no reason.

Halfway through the meal, Ryan Portman left to answer a phone call.

When Ryan Portman returned, he tapped lightly on the table.

The people who were chatting suddenly fell silent.

"Good news. Ryan Portman looked around at everyone, and finally fell on Lin Zhiming.

"I just received a call from Prince Wesley's secretary, His Royal Highness the Prince will be holding a wine tasting and art appreciation party in his mansion tomorrow night, and His Royal Highness hopes that you will all be able to attend the party at that time. Ryan Portman said.

"Prince Wesley?" Lin Zhiming was stunned for a moment, this Prince Wesley is the third son of the Queen of the Corrupt Country, he must be about fifty years old this year, twenty years older than him, the two are not people of the same age, and they have not had any intersection before, he really didn't expect that this Wesley Prince would invite him to a party.

"Yes, the prince invites you to join Natalie in his mansion, which is located in Langdon City. Ryan Portman said.

"That's really our honor!" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.

Being able to be invited by the prince is indeed a very long-facing thing, and the people around him congratulated Lin Zhiming, but Natalie's face was a little wrong.

Before ten o'clock in the evening, the dinner was over.

The nobles from all over the country left the manor with the help of the servants.

Lin Zhiming gave Natalie a look, Natalie nodded slightly, and then said goodbye to Ryan Portman and left the banquet hall with Lin Zhiming.

"I don't think you seem to want to go to Prince Wesley's party?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Hmm!" Natalie nodded, "I don't want to." ”

"Why?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"Prince Wesley... He is a very eccentric person, he is a staunch aristocratic supremacist, he thinks that the aristocracy should be the master of the country, but you also know that our country is a constitutional monarchy, the king has no real power, and he naturally has no real power as a prince... The contradiction between reality and ideals makes Prince Wesley very emotional, and it is possible that a casual word from you can make him furious, so in our aristocratic circle, everyone is not very willing to contact Prince Wesley. Natalie said.

"So that's the case, then why did he invite me to a party with you?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"He... Ever pursued me. Natalie said with an embarrassed expression.

"The prince pursues you?" Lin Zhiming asked in amazement.

"Yes, he pursued me, but he has always been famous in aristocratic circles, and many noble ladies are his Qingren, if I am with such a man, it is better to let me die, so I refused his pursuit. Natalie said.

"Are you still pursuing?" Lin Zhiming asked.

"It's not as crazy as it used to be, but he's still pursuing me, and he's approached my father and tried to get my dad to marry me to him, but my dad refused. Natalie said.

"Rejected by your father? Why? It stands to reason that marrying into the royal family is a very honorable thing. Lin Zhiming said.

"This is true for the average nobleman, but not for us, to be honest, my father's title is second only to the queen and the prince, and the prince's title is the prince, and the prince's status is noble, but because of the relationship with the queen, the prince has almost no real power in the family, and marrying the prince does not do us any benefit, and, once I marry the prince, then I automatically lose the qualification to inherit the title of Duke of Bauhinia, so my father can't marry me to Prince Wesley anyway. Natalie said.

"I see, then this party could be a Hongmen banquet, a war between the suitor and the current one?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.

"But... You don't have to, though it's not good to go against the prince's good intentions, but... This avoids something uncontrollable. Natalie said.

"Why don't you go?" Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Only people who are not strong enough will choose to dodge, people like me, no matter who my enemy is, I will move forward bravely until they are completely defeated!"
