Chapter 237 - 223 Happy Birthday
A look of surprise flashed in A V’s eyes as she pointed at the bag of grapes: "Freshly picked?"
"Yeah, want some? I’ll give them to you," Gu Qili said absent-mindedly as she picked up the bag.
A V walked briskly over, rummaged through the bag, picked out a grape, and examined it closely. Joy gradually deepened on her face, then she suddenly asked, "Do you believe in me?"
Gu Qili was baffled by the question, "Of course, I do. Why do you ask all of a sudden?"
A V tasted the grape, nodded in approval, "I once worked on a formula that can speed up the fermentation of wine, but it’s my private invention and hasn’t been put to the test yet. If you trust me, I can use these black pinots to make a bottle of wine for you; if successful, we can have the wine ready by next week."
Overcome with joy, Gu Qili excitedly shook A V’s hand, "A V, you’re truly my savior, how can I ever thank you enough?"
A V laughed, "As I said, the formula hasn’t been tested, so don’t get your hopes up too much—I wouldn’t want your disappointment to be as big as your expectations."
"It’s okay, it’s okay. Having hope is better than being disappointed. Shall we get started now?"
"Sure."
Gu Qili and A V worked together and soon had the grapes transferred into new containers. This time, she was more cautious, locking the wine in the cellar, and didn’t tell anyone but A V.
It wasn’t anything valuable, but better safe than sorry.
As days passed, Gu Qili resisted the urge to check the wine cellar daily. As A V said, without expectations, there would be no disappointment. If the wine failed, it wouldn’t matter; she could go buy something else for Mu Shuoqian. It seemed he lacked nothing, making finding a gift for him quite a challenge.
