Chapter 473: So It Really Was Her

Gu Shaoting and Shu Pan returned home, only to find He Ming coaxing Joy, who was upset because she woke up and didn't see Daddy and Mommy around.

"Daddy, Mommy, where did you go? Why didn't you take me?" Joy burst into tears.

"Sweetheart, we had some work to attend to, it's adult stuff," Shu Pan crouched in front of Joy, patting her head.

Joy sniffled, looking quite forlorn.

"Next time, you have to take me with you wherever you go," Joy pouted, bargaining.

"Alright," Shu Pan chuckled at Joy's tearful smile, gently tapping her little nose.

"Come on, let's have breakfast before it gets cold," He Ming reminded them.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble," Shu Pan apologized to He Ming as she stood up.

"Don't be silly," He Ming smiled faintly.

Shu Pan led Joy to the dining table, while Gu Shaoting exchanged a glance with He Ming.
