To be honest, Chen Zhao was indeed not mentally prepared at all .

It was really too sudden .

However, he did not know how to reject Fali whom he had been staying with for so long .

In the end, witnessed by three friends, Fali successfully proposed to Chen Zhao .

“Chen, how did you escape from the storm?” David asked .

“I was lucky . Got myself a new pet in the sea . ”

“What pet?”

“A killer whale . Name's Amon . He sent me to the sh.o.r.e . ”

Everyone was speechless . They all knew that none of Chen Zhao's pets was ordinary .

His pets were at least intelligent . Fali had even seen for herself how Black-Ma and White-Ma had appeared .

Hence, they all seemed to be very interested in Amon . David even asked excitedly, “Where's Amon now?”

“Of course he's in the sea . You didn't think I would carry Amon back, did you?”

“When can we go and see him?”

“Maybe next time when you're all free . ”

“You've all been here for the whole day . Go back and rest,” Fali said .

“Now that Chen's back, you're going to chase us away like this? I'm staying tonight,” Sienna complained in dissatisfaction .

“Sienna, stop being a third wheel . We should leave before they kill us . ” Chris pulled Sienna away . David gave Chen Zhao a hug and then left with them too .

Chen Zhao and Fali both sat on the sofa in silence . Suddenly, Fali stood up . “I'm taking a shower . ”

Chen Zhao reached out and pulled Fali into his arms . “Not now . Let's shower together later . ”

Fali was extremely nervous, but Chen Zhao would clearly not allow her to retreat . He made the first move .

Unable to resist Chen Zhao's aggression, Fali gave in almost immediately .

Nonetheless, Chen Zhao did not overdo it . It was Fali's first time, after all .

In the bathroom, Fali actively started another round .

Only after a tiring battle, the two stopped .

It was the first night they slept in each other's arms . Fali lay on Chen Zhao's chest, feeling his warmth .

It felt so quiet and peaceful, a feeling that Fali had never experienced before .

The next day…

Fali was clearly fully energized and rejuvenated .

“Chen, do you want me to send you anywhere?”

“No . Be careful at work . ”

“I know . See you . ”

It would seem like their conversation was just as usual, but in fact it already felt different .

Chen Zhao sat on the sofa alone . After Fali left the house, he took out his phone .

“Hey, Gerlyn . ”

“Chen? Huh, you sound so strange . Are you in love?”

It was a common belief that women were much more sensitive . Chen Zhao did not expect Gerlyn to be able to guess what he wanted to say before he even did .

“Yes . ”

“Congrats . ” Gerlyn's gentle smile could be heard from the other side of the phone . She gave Chen Zhao her sincere blessing .

“Thanks,” Chen Zhao replied emotionlessly . “When are you coming back to Los Angeles?”

“Maybe never . I'm planning to work at the station in San Francisco . ”

“I see . ”

“I still have work to do now . Until next time . ”

“Alright . Goodbye . ”

“Bye…”

Since Chen Zhao had accepted Fali's proposal, he had to leave the other relations.h.i.+ps he had in the past .

Unlike a novel, in reality, few women could tolerate playful boyfriends .

It was just like how Chen Zhao could not accept his girlfriend having an affair .

Clearing the relations.h.i.+ps he had in the past was good for both him and Fali .

Just then, Chen Zhao received a call from Morgery .

“Chen, are you free?”

“What?”

“You promised me that you'll treat my baldness . ”

“Fine . Where are you?”

“Right in front of your door . ”

When Chen Zhao left the house, he saw Morgery's car at once . Morgery also saw Chen Zhao's entire family of pets behind him .

“Chen, what are those two things? Don't tell me they're Alaskan Malamutes, because they're definitely not . ”

“They are what you think they are . ”

“Don't tell me they're coming too . My car's too small for them . ”

“They're not going onto your car, but you're coming out . Since you're already here, let's have the treatment in my house . ”

“Sure . ”

Morgery followed Chen Zhao into his house with some curiosity .

“Chen, your house is different from what I thought . ”

“How?”

“I thought your house would be filled with the smell of medicine . Also, your house is too tidy for a person who has so many pets . I've had a dog before as well . That a.s.shole would make a mess in my house everyday . ”

“Simple . If my dog dares to behave badly in my house, I'll beat the s.h.i.+t out of him . ”

Chen Zhao was about to treat Morgery when he heard Azina's voice from the outside .

Realizing that the door was unlocked, Azina shouted at the door to inform Chen Zhao and then came in directly .

“Hi, Chen . ”

“If you're here to play with Black-Ma and White-Ma, they're in the yard . White-Ma's injured and can't run . I'm busy now . ”

“Alright . ”

Chen Zhao had treated Morgery a few times already, so Morgery really trusted him .

Nevertheless, when Morgery removed his s.h.i.+rt and Chen Zhao saw the gun hidden in it, his face darkened right away .

“Morgery, if you bring your gun into my house again next time, I'll chase you out . ”

“I didn't bring it for you . It's just that I have too many enemies . If I don't bring a gun, I'll feel really unsafe . ”

“Then next time I'll go to your place . ”

“Will we still have another session?”

“Of course . Do you think it's that easy to treat hair loss?”

“How long do I need to see the effect?”

“About a month . You need to contact me every week . ”

“Okay . How much is it?”

“Two thousand per session . ”

“Here you go . ” Morgery readily paid Chen Zhao, like he always did . “By the way, last time you asked me about black market drugs . I'll give you a number . Tell the person that I introduced you . ”

“Alright . Thanks . ”

Soon after Morgery left, Deon Slote came .

“Chen, I'll only be the mayor till next week . What's your decision about the land near Mirror Lake? If you delay further, after I resign from my position, I will no longer be able to promise you that you can definitely get the land . At least you won't be able to get it at the same price . ”

After some consideration, Chen Zhao made his final decision . “I'll buy it . ”

“When are you free?”

“Now . I still have something else later . ”

“Sure . ”

Chen Zhao still had the five hundred thousand check that Ethan had given him . Since he had enough money, he decided to be quick before it was too late .

The procedure was pretty easy . Chen Zhao signed the Land Purchase Agreement, notarized it, and then paid the deposit .

All the formalities took less than an hour .

After he finished everything, he finally felt relieved .

Then, he went to the fitness center for the boxing cla.s.s .

Gaia asked Chen Zhao curiously, “Chen, did you encounter a windstorm yesterday on the sea?”

“How did you know?”

“Coastal Rescue Team . One of my former students is working there . I saw the photos of you and another girl being sent to the team . They sent out at least a hundred search and rescue s.h.i.+ps for you . ”

“Yup . Luckily I came back alive,” Chen Zhao said .

“Great . How do you feel now?”

“Not half bad . ”

Suddenly, Chen Zhao's phone rang . “Excuse me . ”

“Help!! Chen, come here now!!”

Hearing the screams from the phone, Chen Zhao's face darkened immediately .

It was obviously none other than Dell .
