Li Family Manor.

"Ling'er, Tianbao, hurry up, or you'll be late for school." In the early morning, Gu Momo stood at the bedroom door, looking at the closed door with a furrowed brow, thinking that the two little ones had not yet gotten up.

"Coming, coming~" Half a minute later, Li Qingling opened the door, wearing the school uniform of the Imperial Capital Noble Elementary School.

At seven years old, she was much taller than when she was five, now reaching Gu Momo's waist. The only thing that remained unchanged was her pair of bright, sparkling eyes, which seemed to hold a clear spring when she looked at people.

Today is the first day that she and Li Qingtian transferred to the prestigious elementary school. Gu Momo hurriedly urged, "The driver will be here in ten minutes, hurry up!"

"Okay, Mommy." Li Qingling looked at her with a smile, her round eyes curving into beautiful crescent shapes.

Ten minutes later, Li Qingling and Li Qingtian appeared in the villa's lobby on time.

The two were wearing school uniforms and black leather shoes, and carrying black backpacks with the school logo on them, just like early birds.

"Mommy, we're all better now."

"Sweethearts, take this sandwich and milk with you on the way. Hurry up and head out, or you'll be late." Gu Momo handed the neatly packaged breakfast to the two children and patted their shoulders gently.

"Thank you, Mommy." Li Qingtian had two little braids, and her round, tender face with a rosy glow looked as cute as a boiled egg.

"You're welcome, sweetheart. Come on, let's go out together."

"Okay~"

With that, Li Qingling took Li Qingtian's hand and ran out.

Gu Momo was worried and watched them run away, reminding them, "Ling'er, Tianbao, be careful."

She stood at the door, making sure the two little ones were in the driver's car before returning to the villa with peace of mind.

Li Qingling and Li Qingtian sat in the back of the car, chatting while eating sandwiches that Gu Momo had packed for them.

"Ling'er, why can't I go to the same school as my brothers?"

"Because the older brothers go to an all-boys high school, which is for boys. We're girls, so of course we can't go!"

"Okay~" Li Qingtian lowered her head in disappointment. She had never been separated from her brother before and felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Qingling noticed Tianbao's worries, put down her sandwich, and patted her shoulder like an adult, saying, "Don't worry, Tianbao, I will protect you. Mommy said that I was born earlier than Tianbao, so I am the older sister. The older sister will definitely take care of the younger sister."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingtian immediately flashed a sweet smile and hugged her affectionately, saying, "Ling'er, you're so good."

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Imperial Noble Elementary School. Li Qingling and Li Qingtian jumped out of the car hand in hand. The moment they stood still, a middle-aged man dressed in black stood in front of them.

Li Qingling tilted her head back, her lips slightly pouting, and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. "Uncle, who are you?"

"Are you two Li Qingling and Li Qingtian?"

"No, we're not." Li Qingling shielded Li Qingtian behind her, shaking her head vigorously like a rattle-drum.

From a young age, Mom taught them to be safety conscious. They should never admit their identity to strangers or go with them. She will never forget this lesson, no matter how old she gets.

The man was charmed by her blatant attempt to cover up her mistake and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I'm the principal of this school, and I've come here specifically to take you to your new classes."

"Really?" Li Qingling asked again, still doubtful.

The principal nodded repeatedly in affirmation, speaking with utmost respect, and even took out his business card and handed it to Li Qingling.

After seeing the business card, Li Qingling finally relaxed her guard and followed Principal Lu into the school.

Along the way, Li Qingling and Li Qingtian attracted almost 100% of attention. Firstly, the two little girls were so cute and adorable, and secondly, the principal personally picked them up, which surprised many students and parents.

Soon, the news that two super sweet girls had transferred to the prestigious elementary school in the capital spread throughout the entire school.

The principal escorted Li Qingling and Li Qingtian to the bottom of the teaching building and handed them their class assignment notices.

Gu Momo didn't want to use any special privileges and only hoped that the children could learn and live freely, so she didn't ask the school for special treatment. As a result, the two little ones were not assigned to the same class.

The principal's personal pick-up and drop-off was entirely of his own volition.

"Miss, I won't see you upstairs. If I go to the classroom, the teachers will be very nervous. Miss Gu specifically instructed that she doesn't like special treatment, so I'm already making an exception." The principal lowered his head in embarrassment.

Li Qingling took the class assignment notice, took a step back, and bowed slightly while holding the shoulder strap of her schoolbag, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Principal, for bringing us here."

Li Qingtian, who was standing to the side, also bowed and expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Principal."

Principal Lu was somewhat surprised. He had thought that children of Li Qingling and Li Qingtian's backgrounds and status, with their parents being top figures in the capital's economy, would be somewhat spoiled like young ladies. He had come to greet them personally because he was worried that they would feel that the school did not value them. However, he did not expect that the two children would be so unpretentious and quite well-behaved and clever.

He was stunned for a while before he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, please don't be so polite. Go to your respective classes according to the class assignment information."

"Okay." Li Qingling nodded, took Li Qingtian's hand and prepared to leave, but then seemed to remember something and turned back to call out to the principal, "Uncle Principal, please treat us as ordinary students from now on. Just call me Ling'er and her Tianbao."
