"Ah~" At two o'clock in the morning, Bai Yueyue felt like she had come back to life after taking a shower and lying comfortably on the bed.

"Yueyue, you've worked so hard~" Xiaoya said, but it was clear that she didn't feel sorry for Bai Yueyue at all.

Bai Yueyue looked at Xiao Ya lying on her lower abdomen with resentment. She really wanted to say that Xiao Ya was also partly to blame!

However, since Xiaoya brought her magic and new life, she couldn't say such ungrateful things.

"Hmph." Bai Yueyue gave a haughty snort, pinching her aching face with her numb hand. Because of the tight schedule, Li Jieyue required Bai Yueyue to maintain an elegant smile no matter what she did. So from the start of the plan until today's end, Bai Yueyue was forced to keep smiling, her face was practically paralyzed.

Li Jieyue and Lü Dan discovered that because of the magical protection, Bai Yueyue could even improve her learning efficiency more easily.

For example, when it came to practicing the piano, Bai Yueyue's learning ability as the silver-haired witch surprised even Li Jieyue. So, after Li Jieyue asked Bai Yueyue if she could use magic to transform herself into a three-headed, six-armed person, Bai Yueyue began practicing three different types of pianos in the form of Nezha.

For Bai Yueyue, the most challenging subject was dance. Ancient dances were alright, but the Qixi Dance, which Li Jieyue was teaching Bai Yueyue, made her feel like she was about to be thrown off. It was only because their house was big enough that the two of them could dance counter-clockwise at almost a jog pace.

The situation was roughly like this: After briefly teaching Bai Yueyue the posture and basic dance steps, Li Jieyue took over and led Bai Yueyue, who looked like a scarecrow, in a wild run using a male posture!

Indeed, in Bai Yueyue's eyes, she was being dragged along at breakneck speed. Bai Yueyue herself couldn't do anything but be forced to run with Li Jieyue, and because Li Jieyue was supporting Bai Yueyue's body, Bai Yueyue couldn't breathe at all.

Moreover, if Bai Yueyue's smile disappeared even slightly, Li Jieyue would make her start over. The speed at which she ran was enough to make Bai Yueyue feel dizzy. If Li Jieyue's skills weren't good enough, Bai Yueyue would definitely have made a heroic sacrifice there.

Finally, Lü Dan told Li Jieyue: Yueyue is very tired today, let her rest first, and continue tomorrow morning. They also need to improve their teaching plan.

It's awful! It's winter break, but I'm required to get up at 7:00, eat breakfast, practice the smiling walk etiquette at 7:30, practice the three instruments at 9:00, finish dinner at 12:00, relax by reading and practicing calligraphy to finish my winter break homework, then continue practicing the smiling walk etiquette at 13:30, practice tea ceremony at 15:00, eat dinner at 17:00, and because Bai Yueyue can multitask, practice chess and painting at the same time at 18:00, and finally practice ancient dance and Qixi dance at 20:00, and go to bed at 24:00.

My goodness, this is going to be a very fulfilling winter break, but I don't want it at all! After studying all this, will I still be human?

Bai Yueyue experienced the downsides of magic for the first time. Because of magic, Bai Yueyue could even automatically eliminate fatigue and didn't even have an excuse to be lazy.

Waaah, dear Mother and Grandma, I feel so sorry for you having to raise me like this, so for your own well-being, please let us all get some rest!

But Bai Yueyue didn't dare to say it out loud, because if she did, Li Jieyue would definitely give her "encouragement of love".

"Mom." At night, Li Jieyue and Lü Dan were discussing the educational arrangements for Bai Yueyue in Bai Zhenhao's study.

"Jieyue, isn't this putting too much pressure on Yueyue?" Lu Dan looked at the schedule designed by Li Jieyue. Only Li Jieyue herself could do this, right?

“The pressure will definitely be immense,” Li Jieyue said, “but it can’t be less, Mom. Yueyue will have even less time after school starts, and if something happens that even Li Meng can’t handle, Yueyue will definitely go to help. Yueyue’s coming-of-age ceremony is in early August, and there will definitely be a lot of people coming. If the other four families and the imperial family all come, and Yueyue performs poorly, they will definitely look down on her, which may cause her a lot of trouble later. Moreover, from a professional point of view, the time is too tight. Only because Yueyue has magic and has such excellent learning ability, otherwise the pressure would be even greater.”

"Hehe, even Jieyue thinks Yueyue is very outstanding." Tonight, Lü Dan saw in Bai Yueyue the same Li Jieyue who was once the pride of heaven who made all the women in the capital look inferior.

Only Li Jieyue and Bai Yueyue could have such a learning ability. It has to be said that they are mother and daughter, they are really alike... or maybe we shouldn't be so alike. If Yueyue were to elope with another blond guy, that would really be a headache.

“Yes, Yueyue has always been my most beloved child.” Li Jieyue lowered her head, revealing a happy smile like a daughter. “I used to think Yueyue would be an ordinary child, so I thought it would be fine for her to grow up normally. With her two older brothers, Shen Xing and Aruo, Yueyue could live a carefree life without having to face these challenges. But my child is just too outstanding. Although being outstanding has its own troubles, right? But whether it's Shen Xing, Aruo, or Yueyue, they are all my precious children, my pride. Hey, Mom?”

As Li Jieyue expressed her expectations and affection for the children, Lü Dan quietly placed her hand on Li Jieyue's head.

"My child is also my pride." Lu Dan stroked Li Jieyue's hair, gently telling Li Jieyue that no matter what, Li Jieyue was her child and her pride. Even if the Li family didn't acknowledge her, Lu Dan did.

"Mom... I'm sorry, I was very willful before, wasn't I?" Li Jieyue knew why the people in the family didn't recognize her. She was a prodigy carefully cultivated by the family, but she rejected the marriage agreement and eloped with Bai Zhenhao, who had nothing. Even in an ordinary family, this would be a big deal, let alone in the Li family.

"That's pretty willful," Lü Dan flicked Li Jieyue's forehead. "What, regretting it?"

“I won’t regret it,” Li Jieyue gently rubbed her forehead, then leaned against Lü Dan like a weary bird. “Zhenhao is very ambitious and loves me very much. My three children are also very cute, so I can accept not returning to the Li family. If I had really married that person who had no feelings for me, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. It’s just that I feel I’ve let you and Father down.”

“Since it’s the path you chose, and you don’t regret it now, then as your parents, we will naturally wish you well,” Lu Dan said, looking at her daughter who had been away from home for almost twenty years. “Although your father didn’t say it, he was secretly helping you right after you ran away.”

"Eh, I had no idea at all." Li Jieyue was a little surprised. She only knew that Li Jianchuan had come to see her for the first time when she got married. Before that, when Bai Zhenhao and she went to see Li Jianchuan, they were both kicked out by him.

“So you two are father and daughter, yet you can’t understand each other’s feelings. Jieyue, don’t you think about it? Back then, you had nothing, so how did you manage to escape the Li family and the imperial clan? And how did Bai Zhenhao develop so rapidly? It was naturally your father who was maneuvering behind the scenes.” Lu Dan said, “Your father is going back tomorrow, so you two should say goodbye properly.”

"Mm." Li Jieyue nodded gently. Of course she loved her father, but Li Jieyue also knew that her past willfulness had really hurt Li Jianchuan's heart.
