Chapter 302 Meeting a disguised celebrity!

As Zhang Wei and Xiong Mei entered the luxurious LV street, the opulent fa?ade of high-end fashion stores loomed before them. The sleek Audi R8 turned heads as it pulled up, a beacon of sophistication in the midst of extravagance.

Typical of such elite shopping districts, store employees clad in chic uniforms greeted them with enthusiastic smiles, eager to assist in any way. The aura of affluence that accompanied the sports car seemed to extend a welcoming invitation into the world of haute couture.

The sales associate at the nearest fashion store approached with a poised demeanor, "Good afternoon! Welcome to our boutique. Is there anything specific you're looking for today?"

Zhang Wei, with a charismatic smile, responded, "Just exploring for now. Thanks."

Xiong Mei, taking in the glamorous surroundings, couldn't help but feel a mixture of awe and discomfort.

The atmosphere exuded a stark contrast to her usual routine, and she exchanged a subtle glance with Zhang Wei, silently communicating her feelings.

As they ventured further into the store, the exquisite displays of designer apparel and accessories dazzled her senses.

The sales associates continued to cater to their every need, showcasing the latest collections and extending invitations to exclusive events.

"Sir, this one would definitely suit your girlfriend!" Emma, the sales associate, returned with a white dress cradled delicately in her hands.

Xiong Mei's eyes sparkled as she stole glances between Zhang Wei and Emma, "I-I'm not looking for myself..." she admitted, her reluctance eyes twinkling.

Their shopping mission was dedicated to her younger sister and parents, not her own desires.

Emma, nodding in understanding, was about to inquire further, but Zhang Wei swiftly intercepted. He took the dress from Emma's hands and placed it in Xiong Mei's, saying, "Go on, give it a try."

"But... Zhang Wei, we'll be late for the flight," Xiong Mei protested, a touch of urgency in her voice.

Zhang Wei, in response, suddenly broke into a warm smile. His hand gently found its way to rest atop Xiong Mei's head.

!!

*Poof!*

Xiong Mei's eyes widened in panic, and she hastily glanced at Emma, who managed to maintain a polite smile despite her face twitching – an effort that only added to Xiong Mei's embarrassment.

Zhang Wei intervened smoothly, "Now, go quickly and try it. I'll take care of purchasing gifts for your family. Feel free to buy anything you want."

"Hm..." Xiong Mei hurriedly took the dress and made a swift escape from the potentially awkward situation.

She couldn't help but shake her head, wondering if Zhang Wei had no sense of shame.

Once she was gone, Zhang Wei didn't bother with the actual process of buying presents. Instead, he turned to Emma, "Emma, can you please select a few gifts for a middle-aged couple and a young girl around eighteen?"

Emma's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, "Of course, sir. Any preferences?"

Since Zhang Wei hadn't mentioned a budget, and all the commission would go into her pocket, Emma seized the opportunity to select the most luxurious and expensive items available.

The lavish atmosphere of the LV street seemed to align perfectly with the high-end gifts she had in mind.

Zhang Wei, exuding charm, suggested, "Yes, and why not pick something for yourself too? It must be quite a challenge being here all day, wouldn't it?" He smoothly slipped the credit card into Emma's hands.

"Huh?" Emma, usually unflustered by various customer interactions, found herself genuinely astonished for the first time. "B-Buy for myself?" she stammered, the idea seeming foreign yet tempting.

Zhang Wei, with his infectious smile, reassured her, "Yes, treat yourself."

Emma, still somewhat suspicious, clarified, "Anything?"

Zhang Wei nodded, "Absolutely anything."

Emma's eyes widened with surprise. She swiftly glanced around, ensuring Xiong Mei wasn't in close proximity.

Convinced of their privacy, she leaned in, planted a hurried peck on Zhang Wei's lips, expressing her gratitude, and then eagerly ventured off to explore the high-end offerings of the store.

Zhang Wei shook his head, his motive for encouraging Emma to indulge herself not purely altruistic.

He knew this approach would likely curb any inclination she might have had to inflate the purchase unnecessarily for a higher commission.

Anna, a silent observer in the midst of the scene, watched her boss daringly flirt with ladies right near his girlfriend.

Her wry smile hinted at the recognition of a well-practiced charm, and she couldn't resist commenting, "Boss, your charm is truly something."

Zhang Wei, quick to engage, turned around with a sharp glint in his eyes, "Oh, is it? But was it my charm... or the money?"

Anna hesitated, caught in the delicate dance of words, before finally admitting, "A bit of both." She sought a diplomatic balance, but Zhang Wei's chuckle indicated he saw through the artful evasion. "Would you work for me for free?"

"Hm? Why would I—" Before Anna could complete her thought, a realization struck her, and she covered her mouth in shock.

Zhang Wei, amused, couldn't resist a playful touch, lightly tapping her nose with his finger. With that, he sauntered away to explore another corner of the store, leaving Anna in a momentary daze.

Her face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and amusement. By the time her senses returned to normal, Zhang Wei had vanished into the labyrinth of high-end fashion.

Turning on her heel, Anna made her way to the changing room, embracing her role as a guardian.

Zhang Wei, still amused by the echoes of laughter in his mind, continued to weave through the store's offerings. Anna occasionally spotted him, but wisely kept her distance.

He moved with an air of playfulness, engaging in light conversation with the store ladies. Amidst his cheerful browsing, Zhang Wei's eyes unexpectedly landed on a girl wearing a white cap and sunglasses, meticulously inspecting a yellow hoodie.

Zhou Jiajia's face held a small smile as she contemplated the hoodie that had captured her attention.

However, just as she reached to take it from the stand, a sudden voice pierced the air.

"Hey!"

Zhou Jiajia's nerves tensed instantly. She mechanically turned around, meeting the gaze of an amiable-looking man.

He stood before her with an inviting, friendly yet innocent expression, an unexpected interruption to her quiet moment of contemplation.

Zhang Wei studied her features as he finally saw her properly. Most of her face was concealed by the white cap and oversized sunglasses, which added an air of mystery.

However, the area below her nose was exposed, revealing lips that were not only cute but also hinted at youthfulness. The visible skin was smooth and slender, reminiscent of polished jade.

Beyond her facial features, the silhouette hinted at an intriguing figure. She was dressed in a loose-fitting, oversized white hoodie that partially obscured her body curves.

Yet, the way the fabric draped suggested a delicately feminine shape beneath. The cap and sunglasses left much to the imagination, but the exposed part of her neck revealed a certain elegance.

Her hair, with its silvery-gray hue, cascaded in wavy strands down her back. The silver waves created a captivating contrast against her mysterious appearance.

The overall effect was both mysterious and alluring.

Every aspect of this girl raised a red flag, but it was the panic lurking behind her seemingly normal exterior that piqued Zhang Wei's curiosity. As he continued to gaze into her eyes, he sensed a hidden turmoil beneath the surface, adding layers of complexity.

Under the weight of his gaze, Zhou Jiajia shivered, feeling a slight discomfort. She hesitated before asking, "Do you know me?"

Zhang Wei's head shook with a bemused smile, "You're Zhou Jiajia, but I don't know you."

Zhou Jiajia's eyes widened in instant alarm, "Y-You, how do you know my name!?" Her words were hushed whispers, and she grabbed his shirt, swiftly dragging him into a discreet corner.

Unperturbed, Zhang Wei responded, "... You called me?"

A bewildered expression crossed Zhou Jiajia's face. "I called you?"

Zhang Wei nodded, "Check your phone; it should be there, by the name — Zhang Wei."

Zhou Jiajia nervously bit her lip, a gesture that added a hint of allure. Casting a suspicious glance at him, she hesitated before retrieving her phone.

As she unlocked the device, her wallpaper unveiled a photo of herself in a vibrant yellow top. Zhang Wei, squinting at the image, couldn't help but ask, "Do you like the color yellow?"

"Yeah..." Zhou Jiajia admitted, her cheeks slightly tinged with embarrassment.

Zhou Jiajia, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes, navigated through her call logs, searching for his number. Her gaze darted between the screen and Zhang Wei. "It isn't here; did I misdial?" she inquired, still uncertain.

Zhang Wei's eyes blinked, feigning confusion, as he pulled out his own phone. "Strange, I still have that..." he whispered, creating an air of mystery before reaching for her phone.

Zhou Jiajia's eyes twitched as she attempted to snatch her phone back, but Zhang Wei, with a hidden grin, held it just out of her reach, casting a shadow over her face.

"Here, take it back," he relented, and with a sigh of relief, she reclaimed her phone. "Did you find anything?" she asked.

Zhang Wei nodded, "Yes, the number at the top is mine," revealing the trickery behind the supposed mysterious call.

"What...?"
