Chapter 1535: Chapter 1535: The Little Princess Has Grown Up
Suddenly recalling a year ago, when Charlotte said: He just treats you like a cute doll, a toy to tease and pamper.
Yiyi felt a pang in her heart, and her tears fell even more fiercely. At her young age, she couldn’t discern emotions, but for some reason, she always remembered this sentence deeply.
And finally realized, Brother Ling Kong doesn’t like her that much.
To him, she was like the doll in her arms now, loved because it was cute and beautiful, but was this kind of affection lasting?
Yet she still felt very sad inside.
For the first time, she became aware of the taste of loss, realized the sorrow of growing up, that happiness couldn’t last forever.
...
Shortly after her birthday, Yiyi left the central region and went to a famous school in the western region, known for cultivating a foundation in science and technology from an early age. Initially, Third Young Master Jun and Ye Lu wanted her to study at a noble school in the eastern region, learning about literature and music, so she wouldn’t have to work so hard.
After all, she was their little princess in the palm of their hand, and with the family’s wealth, she didn’t have to worry about food and drink. Studying a leisurely profession, growing up while playing happily, this was their wish for her, and they weren’t worried about her future job prospects.
But unexpectedly, this little girl was so stubborn. She insisted on learning science subjects, saying she wanted to be an engineer when she grew up. Those science subjects are difficult and profound, hard to study, and the school is a haven for gifted children and the offspring of scientists. One can imagine how fierce the competition is inside.
Third Young Master Jun and Ye Lu’s hearts ached; how could they bear to let their cherished daughter, who had never suffered, study such strenuous courses?
Moreover, the school had a closed, militarized management system with boarding, very strict. Relatives could visit only at limited times, and they might not see each other often in a year.
They didn’t agree, but couldn’t stop this girl’s determination. Though usually mischievous, once she set her mind, ten horses couldn’t pull her back—she had to go.
Okay then, let her taste some hardship, she surely wouldn’t last more than half a year before coming back.
To their surprise, they had really underestimated her.
The pampered princess not only managed to study at this school, but although she came back from holidays much slimmer, she proudly declared that she had thought so much to keep up with her classmates that her head had grown bigger, joking she would become the big-headed princess.
The whole family laughed themselves half to death.
But it was true that she became more confident and energetic, and though still lively and mischievous, she was more sensible than before.
Seeing their daughter doing so well, Third Young Master Jun and Ye Lu, though pained by her hardships, understood that this was good for her growth. Since their daughter had such ambitions and refused to be a lazy bum, they as parents would fully support her.
Thus, Yiyi went from being a lazy little bug focusing only on food and play, to resolutely pursuing a path of academic excellence.
She diligently studied from science elementary school to high school and then forged ahead, overcoming many challenges and getting into the most prestigious academy for national defense technical studies at fifteen.
This type of course, testing real technical skills, was even more demanding and hectic, but as an ambitious young girl, Yiyi was full of passion and wholeheartedly dedicated herself to her path of striving. Every day, she ran in and out of laboratories, research institutes, and factories with her mentors and a group of senior students, sweating it out with enthusiasm.
Time flew by, and the once pampered little girl gradually grew into a beautiful and vibrant young lady.
Soon, her eighteenth birthday would arrive.
Today was even later, finally she was about to grow up.
