Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1131

"Great idea!" replied Charlie.

That marked the end of the brainstorming process. Since Charlie was the one who came up with the idea, the other employees did not waste time questioning his vision. Instead, they devoted their time to craft a meticulous plan so that the merge would go smoothly.

It was just after 5 pm when the meeting finally ended. After bidding farewell to his colleagues, Charlie drove from the Flight Media's A City Branch back to the mansion. When he arrived, Addison was already gone. Only Evelyn was home, rolling around on the couch, bored out of her mind. The moment she saw Charlie, she sprang back to life in an instant and rushed towards him.

"Have you eaten already?" Charlie caressed Evelyn's hair softly.

Pouting her lips and shaking her head, she grumbled, "Addison promised that he would stay for dinner. Then guess what happened? He just disappeared after receiving a phone call. Can you believe it?"

"He must be really bust. Let's be considerate, okay?" Evelyn, however, was still pouting and a sly grin appeared on her face. Charlie knew her so well, and he instantly grasped what she was thinking. Smiling helplessly, he said, "Fine. I'll cook for you, okay?"

After seeing Evelyn bob her head up and down with satisfaction, Charlie went to the kitchen to whip up some dinner. Before long, he brought four dishes and a bowl of soup on a tray and placed them nicely on the table.

Sometimes Evelyn wondered why Addison and Charlie were such capable adults, while all she was good at was eating. Why couldn't she do anything else? Why was she so witless as compared to others in the Long Family! Why didn't she inherit any of smart genes? Could it be that she inherited all the "stupid" genes from her mother while her brothers inherited the "smart" genes from their father?

"Okay. By the way, are you going to marry her in the game tonight?" asked Evelyn, while she fed herself non-stop.

Charlie simply nodded and said, "Yes..."

Then they started to talk about the game. It was Evelyn who spoke most of the time, while Charlie just listened attentively. However, being the considerate brother that he was, Charlie showed no sign of impatience or boredom on his face. From time to time, he would chime in with a reply and then let her continue.

"Oh right," Evelyn suddenly thought of something, "Are you going to take Elsa to the Gu's Corporations' anniversary ceremony?"

Charlie mulled it over for a few seconds, and then replied, "I don't think so." He couldn't suppress his laughter at the way his sister was looking at him. "It will be a big day for both families, as Mr. Gu is planning to announce Allen and Rita's engagement."

"What..." Evelyn's eyes widened. Then she nodded and smiled, seemingly indicating the fact that she understood why Charlie didn't want to take Elsa to the ceremony. "Alas," she sighed, "when Charlie has Elsa, will he neglect his sister?"

In truth, long after this one time, Elsa would have asked Charlie a similar question when they were playing the game. "Hypothetically speaking, if Legendary Past and I were in danger at the same time, who would you choose to save?"

This was quite similar to the question posed by girlfriends to their boyfriends: If your mother and I were drowning at the same time, who would you save first?

Charlie's reply to Elsa's question was rather witty. "Legendary Past doesn't need my help."

However, Charlie's words couldn't be more true. Legendary Past was the most violent Dark Wizard in the game. She was equipped with the best armor, the best weapon, the best skill set. On top of that Elsa was really good at playing the game. With her current level, it was virtually impossible to be trapped in any dangerous situation in the game. Moreover, LOL and Dangerous Beauty were always by her side to help her.

But this wasn't the answer Elsa was expecting to hear. She demanded a better answer. In the end, Charlie simply answered, "I wouldn't allow something like that to happen." And with that, the case was considered closed.

Elsa felt inexplicably captivated by the powerful and domineering manner in which he spoke. Strangely, she found herself madly in love with the virtual character. No matter who was controlling this figure, she was in love with the person who had accompanied her, protected her, from the very beginning, asking for nothing in return.

It was 7:30 pm.

For dinner, Elsa cooked herself some instant noodles. Holding the bowl in one hand, she couldn't help constantly glancing over the clock. The time was nearing 8 pm. Meanwhile, in the Peach Blossom Forest, the blue figure was still standing all by herself, waiting for her other half, while the flower petals fell to the ground like pink snow. All she could really do was wait.

7:35 pm... 7:40 pm... 7:50 pm...
