Chapter 238 - 224 I am your gift
Mu Shuoqian’s smile grew wider at the corners of his mouth, on a face that was mostly covered with coldness, the smile persisted because of her and never faded.
Actually, there was no need for any birthday gifts or surprises, her simply remembering his birthday was the best gift for him.
She never dared to expect that one year, she would be the one to spend his birthday with him.
Gu Qili only stopped pushing him to the dining table, wanting to whisper in his ear, but even on tiptoes, she couldn’t reach him, so she had to press her face against his back and rubbed it twice before letting go, "Birthday meal."
Mu Shuoqian slowly opened his eyes to find the room’s lights turned off at some point, on the white dining table there was a candlestick, the orange candlelight flickering, two delicate porcelain plates held freshly made steaks, still sizzling.
He thought she had gone to sleep, but as soon as he entered the room, he understood, she had been preparing the whole time, just waiting for the exact moment.
Gu Qili emerged from behind him and pushed him to sit at a seat on the side, placing a beautiful wine glass in front of him, then she turned around to open a small glass bottle on the table, which contained a pale red liquid.
She mysteriously swayed the bottle in front of him, "Guess what wine this is."
Mu Shuoqian watched her pour the wine with interest, his expression calm, seemingly unchallenged by any wine.
The bottle contained too little wine, just enough for two glasses, and Gu Qili poured him half a glass, "Have a taste."
Her mysterious demeanor piqued his interest, he picked up the glass and gently swirled it, leaned in to sniff it, his handsome eyebrows furrowing slightly, followed by tilting his chin up and taking a sip, the wine resonated in his mouth, his eyebrows furrowing even tighter.
Gu Qili sat in front of him, her hands propped under her chin, looking at him with a beaming smile.
