Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 165 “Girls chasing after boys is really not that different from guys chasing after girls. Invest in his interest and hang in
there. Your efforts will see you through . He’s bound to say yes if you keep asking him out.”
Elisa gave it a thought before replying, “I know I should persevere and stick with it. To be honest, my sister-in law initiated the
first move on my brother. I saw the whole thing. My brother was like Mr. York at the time – lofty, detached, and unconcerned.
“My sister-in-law was all over my brother every day and eventually wore my brother down with her persistence. There was a time
my sister-in-law wanted to give up and stopped turning up anywhere near my brother. The surprising thing was that my brother
got used to her being around. Her absence and intention to back out of his life turned him to being more forward with his
feelings.
“Now my brother’s known in Wiltspoon for worshiping the ground his wife walks on.”
Elisa was most envious of her brother and sister-in-law’s marriage. It started off tough when her sister-in-law went after her
brother, just like what Elisa was experiencing now. However, her brother got it bad for her sister-in-law thereafter,
After marriage, her brother remained crazy about her sister-in-law.
It never occurred to Serenity that the wife of Stone Group’s CEO initiated the courtship and won her man’s heart in the end.
Serenity said with a smile. “Your sister in-law is a successful example. You should get the know how from her.”
“She won’t help me now because my brother told her not to. She tried to fight for me, but since my family won’t budge, my sister-
in-law simply went with the flow.”
Serenity gave Elisa a sympathetic look.
An heiress of a wealthy family probably did not have much of a say in her marriage.
Serenity heard that many marriages among the rich and powerful were arranged.
“What does he like? You could give him that as a gift every day. The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Present him
with different food every day. Keep going even if he shuts you out and embarrasses you. He might accept you one day.
“You mentioned that your brother got used to having your sister-in-law around. He only realized he couldn’t be without her when
your sister-in-law walked away. Well, isn’t that an idea too?
“You could also create some intentional coincidences.

Wait for him along one of his usual routes and play the damsel in distress or something. He’ll help you so long as his heart isn’t
made of stone. That should give you a chance to get on with him.”
Serenity gave Elisa a few suggestions that she believed were useful, showing her how to go about having some alone time with
Mr. York through intentional encounters.
She believed their feelings could be developed once the pair got together.
Of course, there was something called love at first sight too. Nevertheless, not everyone could feel the butterflies in their
stomach at first encounters.
Elisa believed Serenity was on to something.
She uttered gratefully, “Thank you for the advice. I’ll reward you handsomely if I ever marry into the York family and become Mrs.
York one day.”
Serenity grinned. “You can just invite me to the wedding.”
The upper crust would hold the wedding reception at the finest hotel. Serenity was all about the food.
“Of course. You’ll be my maid of honor should I win Mr. York’s heart.”
“You go, girl! I’ll be waiting to be your maid of honor.”
Serenity cheered Elisa on, giving her support and encouragement
“Okay. I can do it. I’ll snag the man!” “Um... Can I be honest with you about something?”
Elisa answered, “... What? Are you telling me you’ve been dishonest with me?”
Serenity responded with a smile, “Well, no. I’ve read the gossip about you and Mr. York. The tabloids painted you as a spoiled
and willful person who isn’t the easiest to get along with. I can’t say I know you well enough since you and I had only just met.
You might want to change for the better if that’s the media’s depiction of you. Perhaps Mr. York’s put off by that type of girl.”
