Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 1219
After settling the matter of her parents‘ house, Serenity returned to the bookstore in a happy mood.
Unexpectedly, she saw Shawn, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Shawn had taken two days of leave before the weekend, so he had a total of four days off to come back and see his parents.
After learning that Serenity was not in the store, he came over to see his cousin.
Jasmine did not know when Serenity would return. Shawn had just come in to sit for a while and was just about to leave.
However, he bumped into Serenity just as he was leaving.
“Serenity.”
Shawn greeted Serenity with a smile, just like before.
“Shawn?”
Serenity checked Shawn out from head to toe before politely asking, “When did you come back? It’s been a long time. You look
much more mature and steadier.”
“I just got back today. My mom isn’t feeling well, and the factory isn’t too busy for the time being, so I took two days off before the
weekend to visit my mom. Yes, it’s been a long time. You look even prettier than before.”
Serenity had always been good–looking. Now that she had the nourishment of love, she was like a flower in full bloom.
However, Shawn knew very well that this blossoming flower only bloomed for Zachary.
Although it had been a long time since they met and Shawn gave up on Serenity, he still could not help but feel jealous of
Zachary when he saw her again.
“Is Aunt Rachel okay?” Serenity asked with concern after hearing that Rachel was not feeling well.
She looked at her friend. “Jasmine didn’t tell me.”
Jasmine said, “It’s nothing serious. She just caught a cold. Sick people are frail, so they called Shawn and worried him so much
that he took time off work and rushed back to take her to a doctor. Aunt Rachel is resting now, so he’s out and about meeting

some friends. He dropped by as he was passing by.”
Zachary’s bodyguards were present. Jasmine was worried that Zachary would misunderstand and think that Shawn still had
feelings for Serenity, so she explained Shawn’s presence here on his behalf.
It was true that Shawn did not come for Serenity.
He also called Jasmine to ask about Serenity before he came. He only entered when Jasmine said that Serenity was not in.
“It’s the flu season lately, so do tell Aunt Rachel to take care of her health.”
Shawn hummed. “Yes, many people are catching colds. The hospital was crowded too.
“Well, Jas and Serenity, I’ll make a move now.”
Shawn did not linger. He looked deeply at Serenity and smiled at the two ladies before leaving.
He left not five minutes after Serenity returned.
After he left, Serenity said to her friend, “Shawn is much more mature now.”
Jasmine narrowed her eyes.
Serenity tapped Jasmine’s forehead in amusement. “Don’t give me that look. I didn’t love Shawn before, I don’t love him now,
and I won’t love him in the future. He’ll always just be a younger brother to me.”
