Chapter 36 Want a Drink?
Gu Qili stared blankly, so much so that even after Mu Shuoqian called out to her twice, she didn’t hear him.
It wasn’t until he impatiently set down his wine glass heavily on the bar, his face turning stern, that she suddenly woke up: "Huh?"
"Huh what? Chopsticks!" he said with a gruff tone.
What, was he expected to eat with his hands without chopsticks?
After fetching chopsticks from the kitchen and returning, the image of Mu Shuoqian drinking wine still lingered in her mind; an ordinary glass of red wine in his hand looked like a luxurious delicacy. The wine showcased his dignity, as the person highlighted the wine’s value.
She glanced at the wine label on the bottle, beautifully written in French.
Ever since being ridiculed by him last time, she had intended to learn more about wine.
The Gu Family initially started with a vineyard, then developed their own chain of sales, but as the daughter of the Wine God, she really knew nothing about wine. When she was a child, she stealthily drank a sip of her father’s wine, only to end up with breathing difficulties and red spots all over her body, frightening her family enough to rush her to the hospital. Since then, the adults never dared to let her touch alcohol again, and as time passed, she also understood she was allergic to it and had since kept her distance.
Today, seeing Mu Shuoqian drink wine actually gave her an impulse to have a sip and try it herself.
"Would you like a drink?" He looked over at her indifferently, seemingly seeing through her thoughts. She had been staring at him and swallowing her saliva for quite some time, unsure if it was him or the wine she was craving.
Gu Qili quickly shook her head, picked up her bowl of porridge, and held it with both hands to cover half her face, as she nonchalantly asked, "I see you have many books about wine. Could I borrow them to have a look?"
