Chapter 246 Before the Celebration

"Besides, everyone is very curious about you. You'll probably be under some pressure tomorrow!"

Zhang Wei felt that Butch and the others would definitely watch Paris like he was watching a monkey show, and he might even say something shocking, so he gave him a heads-up in advance.

Paris nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand. I won't embarrass you."

Before going to bed, Paris kissed Zhang Wei's forehead at the door of the room. When Zhang Wei turned around and went back to her room, she seemed to see Emma's slippers at the stairs. She shook her head and went into the room.

This is what parents who love their children are like, they are always worried.

The next day, Zhang Wei and Paris dressed up. Before going out, Zhang Wei checked Paris's outfit. The simple black dress outlined his figure perfectly. His deep eyes and calm and ascetic expression made Zhang Wei want to say, he is so handsome!

Tracy was very considerate. The car from the palace to pick them up arrived at Wilson's house early in the morning. As soon as Zhang Wei and the others got in the car, they were taken directly to the gate of the palace where the ceremony was held.

Because there were not only foreign guests but also important leaders this time, the security check was stricter. After the security check, they got out of the car and had to walk the red carpet to the ceremony venue.

Because this is a grand public event in the UK, there were reporters holding cameras and spotlights on both sides of the red carpet. Zhang Wei thought that she and Paris had no news value, so she walked on the red carpet calmly.

However, although the reporters saw the rare Asian faces, they did not treat them differently and their cameras kept clicking.

Zhang Wei walked down the red carpet with her arm around Paris's. For a moment, she actually felt that this was a bit like an important moment for her and Paris.

When they reached the indoor venue, Paris suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in her ear, "It's so tense. The solemn atmosphere reminds me of our wedding ceremony."

Zhang Wei said stubbornly, "You're dreaming! I thought you wouldn't be nervous!"

In fact, ordinary people are surrounded by so many cameras, and there is no other sound except the sound of the cameras. They can only concentrate on walking on the red carpet, and they feel that that period of time is particularly long.

They arrived early, and the atmosphere in the venue was not as serious as outside. Soothing music was playing inside, and many people were dancing in the open space in the middle, which created a festive and joyful atmosphere.

The attendant led Zhang Wei and the others to the arranged seats. Just when Zhang Wei sat down, a familiar figure walked up to her, bent down and invited her to dance.

"Vera, long time no see. I'd like to ask you to dance. I believe Mr. Lin wouldn't mind, right?"

Paris looked at the British man he had met some time ago with a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Zhang Wei was also a little surprised to see Oroi coming over, because she had already replied to him before, saying that she had someone she liked.

However, seeing that Oroi looked generous, she thought that dancing was nothing big. She thought Paris wouldn't mind either, so she looked at him, and Paris nodded gently to her.

Oroi couldn't help feeling a little sad when he saw how well the two of them got along.

But he still wanted to complete the task Butch gave him. Maybe he still had a chance?

While dancing, Oroi said:

"Are you happy with him?"

"There has never been a happier or more at ease moment," Zhang Wei said truthfully.

He continued, "That's good. If I had found you earlier, would we have had a chance?"

Zhang Wei shook her head: "Before, I was focused on my studies, so I wouldn't have considered it."

This is not an excuse for Zhang Wei to shirk responsibility. When she was studying for her undergraduate and graduate degrees in London, she was very busy because of the short time, the need to produce results, and the need to prepare for her doctorate. She had no time to think about these things.

"Okay, it's just that you and I are not destined to be together. I wish you happiness." Oroi could only give up.

Zhang Wei could only give him a nice guy card: "You are a very good person, and I wish you happiness."

After the song, Zhang Wei returned to his seat. Paris said, pretending to be calm:

"You seem quite happy. Did you talk about anything interesting?"

Zhang Wei knew from his expression that Paris had eaten something wrong. She was quite happy and said deliberately:

"The Oroi are nice people, very gentlemanly, but—"

Before Zhang Wei finished speaking, another handsome man stood in front of her:

"Hey, dear Vera, long time no see!"

While speaking, he winked playfully at Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei had indeed not seen Samuel for some time, so he smiled and said:

"Samuel, long time no see!"

"Would you like to introduce me to the gentleman next to you?"

Zhang Wei introduced them to each other: "Of course, this is my boyfriend Paris."

"This is Namiel's good friend Samuel, I'm quite familiar with him."

When Samuel heard her say that, he protested, "Hey, Vera, you don't even consider me a friend. We're friends for life and death!"

Zhang Wei knew he was talking about the robbery in Brussels and shook his head, "How can that be exaggerated!"

"Well, even though I can't be called a friend, you don't mind dancing with me, right?"

Zhang Wei felt that he was different from Oroi, and it was okay for him to dance with him, so he agreed directly.

She said something to Paris and went back to the dance floor.

Paris found it difficult to maintain a calm and composed expression after Zhang Wei left. He had indeed been separated from Zhang Wei for many years, and he tried not to think about what kind of people she met. But as he saw one man after another, each of whom was not bad, appear beside her, he felt for the first time that his previous decision might not have been so good, and he should find a way to reunite with her sooner.

Zhang Wei didn't think too much about it. She didn't have many friends, and even fewer of the opposite sex. Samuel was a rare acquaintance of hers. In addition, his personality was casual and open, so Zhang Wei also regarded him as half a friend.

After she came back, she finally discovered that something was wrong with Paris and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Samuel is just an ordinary friend. He doesn't have any feelings for me, and of course I don't either."

Paris's expression didn't soften, and his words were inevitably tinged with sourness: "You seem to get along well with him, what's the point of experiencing life and death?"

Zhang Wei told Paris what happened in Brussels. Seeing that he was still a little unhappy, she continued:

"We don't have any contact normally. He's a playboy, you know. I don't admire such a character."

Paris, however, turned his attention to the innocent Namir: "What kind of friends does Namir keep?"

Zhang Wei thought about how Samuel winked at her at the beginning, and wondered how he knew she brought Paris here. They hadn't been in contact recently, and their seats were not conspicuous, so she suspected that Butch was deliberately making trouble again.

As if to verify her thoughts, another figure who had not been seen for a long time stood in front of Zhang Wei somewhat awkwardly.
