Children were naïve. They would take all adult pleasantries seriously.
Shu Pan looked at Gu Shaoting reproachfully. What nonsense did he tell Joy?
Gu Shaoting waved his hand and shrugged, like he was innocent.
"Mommy, Uncle Gu brought me out for dinner and French fries..." Joy covered her mouth and widened her eyes as soon as she said that. Oops. Uncle Gu said that eating French fries was their secret that couldn't be told to her mommy.
Oh no, she had leaked the secret.
Gu Shaoting didn't know if he should be angry or laugh at the little girl's reaction.
"Joy Shu, did you ignore Mommy's words? Didn't Mommy say that you are prone to internal heat therefore shouldn't eat French fries?" Shu Pan unconsciously raised her voice.
"Sorry, Mommy, I won't do it again." Joy apologized quickly.
Gu Shaoting felt that Shu Pan was making a mountain out of a molehill. It was just a few fries. What was the big deal?
