Love Began with the First Meeting -
Chapter 1226 Extra Story 116 Of Charlie The Visit
Elsa's father's voice was low.
Charlie saw Elsa pouting pitifully. Without making a sound, he mouthed, "He wants to talk to you."
Elsa read the words from his lips. Soon after, her brows almost met each other as she tried to snatch the phone away from him.
However, Charlie wouldn't give it to her and moved the phone out of her reach. He then said on the phone, "Please forgive me for being rude and not doing as you requested. I don't want Elsa to speak with you right now. If you don't accept my apology over the phone, then I'll apologize again in person the next time we meet. Goodbye!"
Under the intent gaze of Elsa, Charlie hung up the call. Then, without asking for her opinion, he dragged her into the car, fastening the seat belt for her before he started the engine and drove to the city.
Elsa was seething but kept silent in her seat. She turned her head to look out of the window, waiting for Charlie to apologize to her. When he didn't, she became even more furious.
When they reached the university, Elsa took her luggage out and walked towards her dormitory in grave silence.
Charlie merely sat in the car and watched the small angry figure stomp off. With a wicked smile plastered on his face, he took his phone out and dialed a number. In just a few seconds, the call was picked up. Charlie respectfully greeted, "Hello, Mr. Ji." "Charlie." Elsa's father smiled. "Was I loud enough? Did Elsa hear that?"
"Her phone was on the loudspeaker, and you acted really well. I'm sure she heard you clearly." There was a hint of a smile in Charlie's tone. "But now she's angry."
"It doesn't matter. She'll get over it in just an hour. You don't have to worry about that. However, you still have to talk nicely to her. Do remember to be kind to Elsa."
"Rest assured, Mr. Ji. I won't let her be angry for too long." Charlie gazed at Elsa in the distance with tenderness in his eyes, and he added, "I'm coming to H City to visit you and Mrs. Ji with Elsa on the weekend. If you don't mind, my parents would like to meet you as well."
Elsa's father couldn't control his joy now. He was so glad that Elsa had found her love. Even though Elsa was still in university, he had talked to Elsa's roommates and was informed that Charlie had been in love with Elsa for over a decade. There was no reason for him to go against this relationship. In every aspect, Charlie seemed to be the perfect candidate to be his son-in-law. He was wealthy, handsome, and most importantly, deeply in love with his daughter.
"If Mr. Long and Mrs. Long are free, we would love to meet them." He suppressed his joy so as not to sound too awkward. "May I ask what the purpose of this visit is?" Even though Mr. Ji was supportive of the relationship between his daughter and Charlie, he still wasn't ready to let her go just yet. He needed some more proof that Charlie had the power and determination to be responsible for his daughter, Elsa and to take care of her for the rest of her life.
Charlie immediately understood Mr. Ji's concerns. His lips curved into a big smile as he answered, "I would like to come and discuss the details of an engagement between Elsa and me." Charlie's tone suddenly turned serious. "Elsa and I haven't graduated yet, and I don't want to affect her studies. But, I have come so far to be with her, and I don't want to lose her either. So I think we should be engaged first. Then after we graduate, when Elsa is fully prepared, I will marry her."
Elsa's father fell into a deep silence. This was a promise made by the man who was willing to love Elsa for the rest of his life. At this moment, he truly realized that his daughter had already grown up and would leave him at any moment. While he felt choked up inside and like a part of his heart had become empty, he answered, "Okay."
Now that Charlie had the consent from Elsa's father, all he had left to do was organize the meeting between the two pairs of parents, and he would be one step closer to having Elsa by his side. He had to get Elsa to meet with her parents now. If he waited till after they graduated, he may not have the chance to meet her father, save for the meeting between both the families.

When Elsa returned to her room, all her roommates were there. It was a weekday, so once they finished their classes at the university, they returned to the dorm. One was playing computer games, one was reading a book, and the other was putting on a facial mask. When they saw Elsa suddenly come in, they were surprised and screamed with joy. Elsa was bombarded with tons of questions from the girls, which gave her a massive headache. Soon, she forgot about the quarrel with Charlie.
"All right, all right. I've brought you all some presents. Wait! Don't look at my photos! All right. You can take a look. Argh! Not that picture!"
Elsa struggled against her roommates teasing and tried to stop them from looking at all of her photos. Their dorm was filled with the sound of giggling, teasing, and Elsa's complaints. Finally, Anna managed to get a photo, while Elsa stomped her foot annoyed, Ann and Olivia laughed joyously.
"Dear... Elsa." Anna intentionally dragged the words out to sound as endearing as possible. "The kiss in the sunlight witnessed our start." She paused for a moment to observe Elsa, whose face was turning red. So she decided not to tease her anymore and skipped all the words of love. Jumping to the end, she read, "Your Charlie. Ha-ha!"
Biting her lower lip, Elsa snatched the photo from Anna and hid it under her pillow like a treasure. Wearing a proud look, she said, "What? You're all just jealous of me. Just keep being jealous. I'm fine with that. I have a suitcase full of gifts. Charlie bought them for you all." The girls stopped teasing Elsa and jumped up and down excited while they looked at the wrapped presents. They began to unwrap the packages which were full of handcrafted items, specimens of lilac flowers, hair accessories, and perfumes. The girls were exhilarated to receive such beautiful gifts, and even the girls from the other rooms could hear their screams of excitement.
Anna held a bottle of perfume made from the delicate lilac dandelion specimen in her hands. She gazed at the bottle as if the bottle might suddenly fly away just like the dandelion. "Elsa, Moonlight Island must be very beautiful."
"Yes, it's gorgeous." Elsa beamed at her. "Charlie and I made the specimens ourselves. I know you love dandelions, but I couldn't make it. Charlie spent the entire night making it for you."
Anna looked up at Elsa, who continued, "The dandelion would break up and fly away so it was impossible to keep it in the perfume bottle. The one inside that bottle was made from several dandelions. Isn't Charlie just amazing? You can't even tell that it has been pieced together."
Anna was so touched that she suddenly hugged Elsa. "Argh! Elsa, how can you have such a perfect boyfriend? I want to snatch him away from you! I am so envious of you!"
"Go ahead!" Elsa pretended to be generous.
"Wow..." Anna let go of Elsa and put on a scornful look. "You're so cocky, huh? You know Charlie isn't going to give you up for anyone."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
