"I have work there," Chen Zhao said. "I also feel like I've been going out a lot lately, so if you want, we can go play there for a few days."
Fali understood what Chen Zhao was thinking. Chen Zhao felt that it would be inconvenient for her to go anywhere since she was pregnant.
She also felt uncomfortable going out too often.
"Darling, we should be more honest with each other. I don't think it's a big deal."
"Okay." Chen Zhao stroked Fali's hair.
That was indeed what he was thinking. That was why he invited Fali to Abilin.
"What work is there this time?"
"A billionaire bought a piece of land and caused some accidents. I'm going to solve the problem."
"Then his price shouldn't be low, right?"
"Very high," Chen Zhao said.
"Remember to bring me a present."
"Of course."
The next day
Fali was soaking in the water.
After entering February, the temperature had risen a few degrees.
The temperature of Mirror Lake was just right, so Fali had been soaking every day.
Little Gerlyn was just half a year old. She could already jump onto the round rock in the middle of the lake.
Just then, Fali saw a large truck arrive at the door.
Fali called out to the villa, but there was no response.
Fali saw the transport workers unloading two large boxes from the truck.
Fali carried Gerlyn to the shore and draped a towel over her.
"Hello, what's the delivery?" Fali asked one of the workers.
"Hello, you must be Miss Fali." A woman walked up. She looked Fali up and down. The first thing she saw was Fali's bulging stomach.
He felt indignant in his heart, but he still maintained a professional smile on his face.
"These are the things that Mr. Chen bought in our shop yesterday. Please sign here."
"Oh." Fali signed the shipping receipt.
"Miss Fali, you have to open it yourself."
"How do I open it?"
Fali looked at the huge box in front of her, feeling helpless.
"Just unlatch the lock on this side."
Fali unlocked the lock, and the lid of the box opened up like flower petals.
A new metallic dark blue Porsche 911 was revealed inside.
Fali took a deep breath. She was amazed.
That was Fali's first thought.
Just then, Chen Zhao walked out of the house.
"Fali, we've been together for a year now. This time last year, I gave you a car. This year, I'll give you another one. Do you like it?"
Fali jumped into his arms and kissed him deeply.
The accompanying saleswoman had a look of jealousy on her face as she cursed the vixen in her heart.
However, when she looked at the villa in front of her, why wasn't this man hers?
Gifting a car for a year was really extravagant.
"Chen, I really like it." Fali liked it very much. She couldn't wait to sit in the car and try it out. However, her gaze fell on the other box. "Where's the other box?"
"I bought it for myself," Chen Zhao said. "Of course, if you like that one, you can drive it."
Fali went forward to open the box. She was also amazed by what she saw.
These two Porsche sports cars were classic models.
Fali wouldn't be surprised if Chen Zhao bought a car.
She was surprised that Chen Zhao would buy a sports car.
She knew Chen Zhao's habits. He didn't like to drive sports cars.
"Chen, I thought you didn't like sports cars?"
"I think these two cars are a better match."
The saleswoman's face was full of envy. It was so good to have a rich man.
"Miss, thank you." After tipping everyone, Chen Zhao ignored the saleswoman's little tricks and sent them all away.
"Fali, don't you want to try it?"
Gerlyn ran out too and pounced on the front of the car. "Car, beautiful. Gerlyn wants it too. Papa, Gerlyn wants it too."
Chen Zhao was stunned. Fali said, "The supermarket in town has those small toy cars. You can buy one for Gerlyn."
Actually, Fali wanted to drive out, so Chen Zhao let her.
After the family changed their clothes, they went out to go shopping.
At the entrance of the supermarket, Chen Zhao saw someone familiar.
"Hi, Chen." Dean Slote walked over with his daughter, Azina.
"Such a beautiful car." Azina looked at the car parked by the road, her eyes shining.
"Azina, you haven't come to Mirror Lake in a long time."
"Azina is in high school this year. She lives at school now and only comes back once a month," Dean Slote said. He glanced at Gerlyn in Fali's arms. "Your daughter has grown a lot. Last time I saw her, she was still a little girl."
"Ha … Kids grow really fast at this age. You should have the most experience."
Dean Slote smiled and did not reply. When Azina was Gerlyn's age, he wasn't around. Her mother took care of her.
"Chen, do you have time? Let's talk. "
"Sure." Chen Zhao turned to Fali. "Fali, go in and help Gerlyn choose a car. I'll sit here with Mr. Slote."
"Sure. Azina, do you want to go in? I'll treat you to ice cream. "
"I'm not a kid." Azina rolled her eyes. "I want strawberry."
Chen Zhao and Dean Slote sat on a bench outside the supermarket.
"Mr. Slote, how have you been?"
"Chen, I plan to run for mayor again. I hope you can support me." Suddenly, Dean put on a serious expression and looked at Chen Zhao.
"Err …" Chen Zhao did not expect Deon to talk to him about this.
Logically speaking, Chen Zhao should support Deon Slote.
After all, Dean's help was undeniable for Chen Zhao to settle down in Mirror Lake.
However, Deon Slote did not have a good reputation in town.
Many people said that Deon Slote had abused his power for personal gain when he was the mayor, selling out the town's interests in exchange for bribes.
Therefore, Chen Zhao felt that even with his support, it would be very difficult for Deon Slote to become mayor again.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Chen Zhao owed him a favor.
"Mr. Slote, if you want to run for mayor, I'll definitely support you, but are you sure there's someone else who's willing to vote for you other than me?"
"Afat doesn't know how to manage Mountain Town at all," Dean Slote said. "Look at how he's managed the town in the six months he's been in office."
Afate was the new mayor of Mountain Town. Chen Zhao had seen the new mayor once.
"Many people in the town can't find a job now, and Afate once promised that if he became the mayor, he would reopen the brewery to provide more jobs for the residents of Mountain Town, but he broke his promise. He borrowed 200 million USD from the bank in the town's name, wanting to start farming, but he completely ignored the fact that the town's land isn't suitable for growing crops. Now, he has lost almost all of the 200 million USD."
