Chapter 99 Visiting

  Carrying a black backpack, Ryan walked out of the airport with George and others through the VIP passage. In addition to his team, there were also several staff members from the publishing house.

  Natalie and Mrs. Shelly kept a distance from Ryan's group, being extremely intelligent.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, as soon as they walked out of the VIP passage, dozens of reporters and paparazzi frantically pressed their camera shutters, swarming around them. Fortunately, there were also many staff members who quickly stepped forward to shield Ryan behind them.

  Ryan had anticipated this scene, after all, tomorrow's new book signing conference has been announced, as long as someone with a heart goes to check, they can always find his schedule, let alone, in the eyes of British media, the Harry Potter series is an undisputed English literature that can top the bestseller list in America, which is a victory for the entire Great Britain.

  "Ryan, what's your feeling about returning to London?"

  "It's said that it was your two years of experience in London that inspired you to write the Harry Potter series, do you have any words for British book fans?"

  "I heard that the Harry Potter series has seven volumes, can you tell me about the specific story content?"

  These questions are still normal, after all, the ones asking the questions are reporters from some well-known media outlets.

  "The sales of Biohazard now are related to the Harry Potter series, some experts say that if it wasn't for the popularity of 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', this book wouldn't be worth mentioning."

  "You donated all the proceeds from your second single to the Duchess's charity foundation, will you be visiting Kensington Palace this time?"

  "How far have you and Miss Drew Barrymore progressed? Have you kissed? Gone to bed?"

  Tabloid reporters won't be polite, this is the birthplace of paparazzi, they don't care if you're a minor or not, compared to their American counterparts, every question is like a knife.

  Under the protection of George and others, Ryan had no interest in answering any questions. As soon as he opened his mouth, these paparazzi would become even crazier, and the articles written the next day would be completely distorted.

  In his previous life, the name of a British tabloid was as familiar as thunder.

  "Poor Ryan." Natalie followed Mrs. Sherry, seemingly in sympathy and yet seemingly in schadenfreude.

  The reporters' frantic actions drew the attention of others, and soon someone recognized Ryan. One young man shouted, "Look, it's Ryan Jenkins!"

  Listening to the dense footsteps, Ryan had a headache, and his influence had apparently spread to the other side of the Atlantic. He winked at George and hurriedly squeezed towards the direction of the car.

  Before the crowd closed in, several cars sped out of the cordon and sped away from Heathrow Airport towards central London.

  Halfway through, the convoy split in two, with the publishing house staff heading to their designated hotel, while Ryan and Natalie's destination was a small villa in Kensington.

  This villa belongs to Nicole and has been taken care of by a specialized housekeeping company, which doesn't cost much every year but can keep the villa from aging quickly due to fewer people living in it.

  "We're here." Ryan opened the floral gate of the front yard and walked in first.

  "This is where you've been living in London for two years?" Natalie asked curiously.

  "Alright, come on, Nate, I'll take you for a tour."

  The people behind naturally went to greet Jin Silie, Ruien pulled Natalie first in the front yard's small garden for a walk, then entered the villa and looked at each room one by one.

  "Harry Potter and the Sixth Sense were born in this room." he said, pointing to his own room.

  Compared to his home in Los Angeles, this room was much smaller. Ryan looked at the instruments and furniture inside, feeling a bit nostalgic. This place held some of his most beautiful memories, a life that only belonged to him and Nicole Kidman.

  "Ryan, you're zoning out." Natalie gave his ear a gentle tweak, a move that was obviously learned from Nicole Kidman.

  "Reminds me of when I used to live here." Ryan smiled sheepishly and pulled her towards the rooftop, "Come on, Nate, there's a patio up top too."

  The surrounding area of the villa is basically all independent houses, with few high-rise buildings. Standing on the balcony and looking out into the distance, you can see very far away.

  "Is that... Kensington Palace?" Natalie asked, pointing at a three- or four-story building in the distance.

  "Yes." Ryan nodded, "That's where the Princess of Wales resides."

  "I don't know if she's there, I've never seen her in person before." Natalie shaded her eyes with her small hand, as if trying to see through the building.

  "Really..." Ryan's eyes rolled around and asked, "Nate, do you want to see the princess with your own eyes?"

  "Ah......" Natalie was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Ryan knew Diana, "This..."

  "Alright, I have the lord's private number." Ryan sighed, this was something he got in exchange for a song's worth of royalties, it was about time to use it anyway, "Let's go down, I'll make a call and see if she's in London or not."

  When the sky was dark, a black sedan drove out of the garage and headed towards Kensington Palace. In just a short time, the paparazzi guarding the villa door split into two groups: one group followed on motorcycles, while the other continued to guard the front door.

  I have to admire the efficiency of London's paparazzi, they found Ryan and Natalie's address before they even confirmed their itinerary and swarmed the entrance.

  "How annoying, they're following us again."

  Natalie looked back from the rear seat and saw several motorcycles falling behind, some distance away, with a bit of annoyance.

  "Nate, when you become famous, they'll treat you the same way." Ryan was nonchalant about it. "This is already restrained; after a few years, they'll rush over and stick to the car window to take pictures."

  Natalie shrugged, having some vague ideas about this, but not wanting to tell Ryan. As the car passed through security and entered Kensington Palace, she asked, "Ryan, do I need to curtsy?"

  "This doesn't matter, we're not British."

  Although that's what he said, before getting off the car, Ryan tidied up his suit and seeing his rare serious look, Natalie couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

  "Relax, Nate, His Highness is a very kind person."

  After getting off the car, he bent his arm and waited for Natalie to hold it. Ryan walked towards the main entrance. He had undergone strict British etiquette training, whether it was walking or responding to the doorman, just like a pure British gentleman.

  Under the leadership of Guan's family, they walked into the hall. The chandelier on the ceiling illuminated the entire hall as bright as daylight. A noble blonde woman was waiting in the living room with two boys, one big and one small.

  "May God bless you, Your Highness."

  Ryan bowed slightly, while Natalie curtsied elegantly.

  "Hello Ryan, we meet again."

  After introducing Natalie, Diana nodded slightly and introduced the two boys beside her, "This is William, this is Harry, they are both your loyal readers."

  Although it was with great reluctance that he bowed to the two little brats, Kensington Palace being a royal residence, Ryan had no choice but to bow again.

  "Nice to meet you both, Your Highnesses."

  Natalie quietly pinched his arm, and she could naturally feel how unwilling he was.

  Although Diana said they were his book fans, the two little guys obviously looked more like their father, serious and stiff, without a hint of excitement, making Ryan quite embarrassed.

  "Ryan, this isn't a public place, no need to stand on ceremony." After dismissing the butler and footman, Diana visibly relaxed.

  She doesn't like the royal protocol anyway, and now she's at odds with Charles, both of them constantly throwing mud at each other, making the royal family lose face.

  "Nate, are you Ryan's friend? Are you an actor too?" Diana has a lot of connections in the entertainment industry and is quite perceptive.

  "Yes, Your Highness." Natalie was even more reserved than Ryan, and somewhat regretted her impulsive decision to come visit, thinking she should have stayed at the villa to adjust to the time difference.

  Diana and Natalie chatted for a few sentences, while Ryan had to make conversation with the two little princes. Perhaps due to their royal upbringing, they were clearly uninterested in him as an entertainer, even though Ryan managed to glean from their words that they were indeed loyal readers of Harry Potter, but only liked the books.

  Since they had come all this way, Ryan and Natalie couldn't just leave abruptly, so under Diana's invitation, they stayed for dinner.

  Unlike what he had imagined, it wasn't a traditional and dull English meal, but rather a French feast. Sitting at the long dining table, Ryan let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, English food was really hard to swallow, and during his two years living in London, he had eaten it only a handful of times.

  Although Diana said not to be polite, when facing two stereotypical princes, neither the easy-going Ryan nor the reserved Natalie could relax, and this dinner was extremely uncomfortable.

  I will never come here again! Ryan secretly vowed in his heart.

  In fact, he was very clear that the rift between Diana and the royal family could not be repaired. She herself was a rebellious person who did not care about etiquette, but every move of those two princes seemed to be pre-designed. What could he and Natalie do?

  It's no wonder they both prefer their father, the royal brainwashing education is still very powerful. Ryan can only sigh.

  "Ryan, I heard you're having a signing tomorrow?" Diana asked.

  "Yes, at Trafalgar Square."

  "If there's anything you need help with, just let me know."

  "I will, Your Highness." Rian didn't take the courtesy at face value.

  He is not an innocent child, the other party will entertain him. Firstly, it's because of that little emotional connection they had in Los Angeles back then. Secondly, his influence in the entertainment circle is getting bigger and bigger. Thirdly, it's about the money he donated.

  Perhaps it was the influence of his past life, but compared to the traditional royal family and Prince Charles, he preferred Diana, even though she had obvious shortcomings.
