Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 1142

"Believe me when I say that I am really trying hardest to pursue you. I want you to be not only my girlfriend, but also... the one who would accompany me for the rest of my life. Even to the end of time," Charles said, looking at Elsa in the eye. Suddenly, his head shot up, and he quickly added, "I meant that in a romantic way, of course," he said.

Stunned by this sudden soulful confession, Elsa just stared at Charlie, her eyes unblinking. His brooding and profound eyes, which were as deep as the Milky Way galaxy, seemed to absorb her soul just like a vortex. It seemed like she had just lost the ability to think. The two words that were stuck in her head were "my girlfriend." They were just like a short incantation, echoing in her mind again and again. It made her feel giddy, but also nauseous.

All of a sudden, she was awoken from her daze when she heard the loud cheers from the crowd. Like coming up for air when you've been under the water for too long, she sharply gasped for air.

After looking around and seeing, once again, what was happening, she gritted her teeth and replied in a tough way, "Charlie, can you act like a grown man? Stop being so childish! I'm telling you - and you better listen well - you have no chance to make a fun of me anymore! Huh!" She snorted as if she was very angry. But then, on the inside, she knew exactly that she almost said yes to him just now. In a bid to hide her real emotions, Elsa gave Charlie a ferocious glare and turned around to leave. At that moment, she totally forgot the presence of Ann and her parents and did not see what their facial expressions were.

Witnessing her leaving, Charlie breathed a slight sigh and thought to himself, 'Elsa, you are such an idiot!'

His head was starting to ache. It felt like Elsa had kicked and slapped him across the face. However, he knew that she was not that type of woman like Evelyn who would be violent all of a sudden.

"Thank you all..." Mr. Gu unfolded a huge smile and continued, "Thanks for your support. I hope that in the future, my daughter and Allen could still count on your care and support..." The next moment, however, he suddenly halted his speech as he caught a glimpse of the person who showed up at the door gate. After recognizing who it was, a big and exaggerated smile unfolded on his face, making his face look like a blooming chrysanthemum. Then, he continued with greater joy, "In addition to the announcement of the engagement of my daughter, today, I am very glad to tell everyone present that the proposal to build a holiday village between A City and M City has been approved by Dragon Empire Group. Tomorrow, we will sign an agreement on it!"

Ignoring what Mr. Gu just said, all the people seemed to be more interested in what he had seen. Therefore, they turned their head around to see who was there. Elsa also showed interest in who he saw. Setting the tiff with Charlie aside, she turned her head back as well.

A man of formidable built walked into the room, his steps steady and sure. With his hands in his pocket, he exuded authority and charisma. He was wearing a black well-tailored suit with a black dress shirt under it. A baby blue thread tie was on his neck, which greatly contrasted to what he was wearing overall. All these highlighted his tall and sturdy fame, which seemed to be more outstanding than any well-known model.
