Extra Chapter 1: The Love Song Couple When They Were Young

Shen Yanqing’s parents did not have much feelings for each other. The two of them were just business partners at first, but later on, it was a strategic marriage.

Shen Yanqing’s father was from a prestigious family, and his mother’s background was a little complicated.

She grew up in a single-parent family. Her mother was abandoned because of her ordinary background after her father’s business grew bigger. You can track the origins of this material back to n0velbin★

Other than her, her mother also had a daughter. The two sisters had grown up by her father’s side in order to receive a better education. However, the woman her father married again was a young lady from a rich family in Jiang City. She did not treat the two of them well.

The two sisters did not have a good time in the early years.

It was probably because she grew up in such an environment that she thought that family and love were worldly possessions. It was better to be selfish.

Hence, she did not care too much about her marriage. From the perspective of benefits, she chose to marry into the Shen family in Huai City.

Including later on, in her opinion, getting pregnant and giving birth was only a mission.

However, ever since she gave birth to the eldest grandson in the family, she no longer took the old man seriously. The old man was not in the mood to make a fuss over her, especially after he started taking care of Shen Yanqing. The old man’s thoughts were all on his grandson.

Therefore, in her eyes, Shen Yanqing was just her tool in the Shen family.

Ever since he was weaned, Little Yanqing had been by the old man’s side. Even when he could speak, walk, and run, he had not seen his mother many times.

When he was less than three years old, his grandfather began to teach him how to memorize poems, play chess, and practice calligraphy.

In those two years, he was wherever Grandpa was.

Probably because he had not interacted with other children since he was young, when his grandfather brought Little Shen Yanqing to someone else’s house as a guest, he did not like to interact with other children.

“Old Shen, your grandson seems to be a little afraid of strangers,” someone teased.

Grandpa smiled and was not angry. “It’s not that he’s afraid of strangers. He’s just like that. He never liked to talk since he was young.”

“I heard that this child has been by your side since he was young?”

“That’s right. His parents are busy with work. I’m already old and don’t have anything else to do. I just have to take good care of this kid.”

He heard the servants say in private that his grandfather did not allow his mother to come and see him.

At tomorrow’s parent-child event, he also wanted to be like the other children and have his parents by his side.

Two years ago, because his grandfather was old, he asked the driver and butler to accompany him.

This was his last parent-child activity in kindergarten. He would never have the chance to do so again.

He had prepared for a long time before he dared to ask his grandfather.

However, Grandpa did not agree.

That night, Little Yanqing did not know how long he had been kneeling. Soon, a message came from the front residence saying that his parents were there.

When the butler heard this, he was even happier than him. He quickly helped him stand up and went to the front residence.

Little Yanqing did not know that his mother could come over because the old man had begged repeatedly on the phone.

After that day, Little Yanqing was brought back to his parents’ side.

Initially, the old man did not have the heart to do so. However, his health had not been good recently. He had a feeling that he might not be able to accompany Yanqing for too long.

Hence, in private, he talked to Shen Yanqing’s mother many times and even agreed to give her the old residence.

He only hoped that she could take Little Yanqing seriously and be a good mother.

At that time, his mother had quickly agreed. However, her true colors were revealed in less than two months. The old man was so angry that he fell ill. When he was seriously ill in bed, he even brought Little Yanqing back.

However, the old man was helpless. In the end, he only accompanied Shen Yanqing for a short distance before leaving.

Before he died, the old man held Little Yanqing’s hand and used the last of his strength to say intermittently, “I’m useless. I can’t protect you anymore.”

“Yanqing, don’t blame me. ‘

“In the future... if you feel uncomfortable, come and talk to Grandpa. Don’t hold it in. You have to come to Grandpa and tell me...”

“Our Yanqing is so good. In the future, you will definitely... meet someone who treats you sincerely. I promise you that you will.”

“I will always protect you from the sky. I mean what I say...”

At the last moment, the old man was still worried about Yanqing. He forced himself to finish his last sentence. “Yanqing, you have to grow up happy..”
