It was probably… that year.
From what Sheng Yize remembered, his parents weren't very close when he was little.
His mother was an artist and much younger than Sheng Qingyi. She was naive and not familiar with worldly affairs.
Sheng Qingyi, on the other hand, had seen his fair share of the world. He busied himself with his career, striving to build his own business empire.
Needless to say, the marriage wasn't a happy one.
After Sheng Yize was born, the couple pretty much lived separately. Sheng Yize and his mother lived in the old Sheng family home with Grandma and Grandpa Sheng, who were very kind to him. That was why Sheng Yize was much closer to them than to Sheng Qingyi.
One Christmas Eve, Sheng Qingyi didn't work overtime, which was very rare, and went back to the old family home. He had even brought a gift for Sheng Yize — a toy gun.
