How to raise a father who is overly controlling of his daughter

Rena snorted, "That's true. Then they made jokes and scared me with horror movie scenes."

Makise felt something was wrong the more she thought about it.

Yixue smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, it was my fault." Beneath her skin, her fists clenched slightly.

"Hmph!" Mentioning that incident made Rena unhappy. Her face flushed slightly; she had actually been frightened to tears in front of Yixue, who had seen her in such an embarrassing state. How shameful.

"Rena..." Itsuki said with dissatisfaction. Makise ate quietly, lost in thought.

After dinner, Yi Yue prepared to wash the dishes, but Yi Xue took the bowl and said, "Dad, go and rest. You just got back, I can do this."

"No need, I can do it myself." Yi Yue wanted to refuse, but couldn't stop Yi Xue from persuading her. Having no other choice, she could only return to her room.

Behind him, Makise clearly saw this scene and gave Yixue a deep look.

In the room, Makise said to Itsuki, "Itsuki, don't you think Iyuki is getting too close to you?"

"Really?" Yi Yue didn't think so; she hadn't noticed anything yet.

Makise said helplessly, "Yixue is already fourteen years old, and she's getting a little too clingy."

Izuki didn't take it seriously and laughed, "Mukase, you're overthinking it. You know about Yixue's situation, so it's normal for them to be close."

Makise had a bad feeling: "Maybe. But with Yixue clinging to you like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to live without you one day."

Yi Yue patted Makise on the shoulder and comforted him, "You're overthinking it. You've seen how sensible Yi Xue is."

“That’s not what I meant…” Makise hesitated, “Never mind, maybe I’m overthinking it.”

Outside the door, Yixue pressed her ear against the door, listening quietly, her face expressionless. Makise and Izuki didn't continue their conversation, and Yixue quietly went downstairs.

Reina from next door came out and saw Yixue coming downstairs.

"Strange, isn't she washing dishes downstairs? How come she's washing them so quickly?" Rena muttered to herself as she went straight into Itsuki's room.

Makise was talking to Itsuki when the door to the room suddenly opened.

Makise said discontentedly, "You have to knock before entering someone else's room!"

Rena argued, "My dad never knocks before entering my room."

Makise said, "Dad is afraid that you'll hide in your room and secretly play on your phone, or do something sneaky."

"Rua!" Rena stuck out her tongue. "Privacy, you know? I need privacy too!"

"Alright, alright, privacy it is then," Yi Yue said helplessly. "What's the matter?"

Rena, holding her phone, sat down next to Izuki and said, "Ask Mom and Dad a question."

"What's the problem?"

Rena took out her phone and read the question aloud.

"A woman was walking home when a strange man followed her until she got into the elevator in her apartment building. The woman deliberately let the man press the elevator button first, and the man pressed the second floor."

"At this point, the woman felt relieved and pressed the button for the 3rd floor. When the elevator stopped on the 2nd floor, the man got out. As the door was about to close, the man took a knife and went to the 3rd floor, where he found the woman's body. He asked the woman how she could have survived without canceling the 3rd floor."

"A riddle?" Makise asked, puzzled.

Rena shook her head and said, "It's a normal reasoning problem." Because she was scared by a horror movie before, she wanted to find a short horror story with reasoning to practice.

Makise pondered for a moment and said, "Press the first floor button, and close the door as soon as we get to the third floor?"

“No!” Rena shook her head.

"Go out and fight her?"

"He's holding a knife."

"Then what should we do?" Makise was too lazy to guess.

"Dad, can you guess the answer?"

Yi Yue thought for a moment and said, "The man didn't attack her in the elevator because he was afraid of the security cameras inside, so he used the knife to scare her. The woman was definitely not killed in the elevator, but while she was trying to escape. If I were her, I would press the button for the top floor and use that opportunity to call the police for help."

Rena glanced at her phone, hummed in agreement, and mumbled, "More or less."

Makise laughed and said, "That's exactly the answer I was going to give, but Tsuki beat me to it."

Rena gave Makise a disdainful look: "Mom is so stupid. Luckily, I inherited that trait from Dad."

Makise's forehead veins throbbed: "Which aspect are you referring to?"

“Of course it is…” Rena lowered her voice and suddenly ran out of the door: “Of course it’s about intelligence. I’m not stupid enough to let you hit me, hehehe.”

Makise sighed helplessly and with a headache: "In this respect, I wonder who he takes after?" He looked at Izuki.

Yi Yue found it amusing: "Like me, is that alright?"

Makise muttered under her breath, "That's more like it." Then, realizing something was off, she pouted, "Tsuki, are you making fun of me?!"

Chapter 152 Eve

"How could I dare?" Yi Yue laughed.

Makise glared at Izuki, clearly annoyed.

Yi Yue smiled, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Makise asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing." Izuki shook her head. While Makise went to the bathroom, she quietly lay down on the floor and took out a box from under the bed. She opened the lid, and inside was a diary sealed in a yellow bag.

Yi Yue squeezed the contents and could almost feel that none of the three diaries inside were missing.

"Strange, something feels off." Yi Yue picked up the yellow bag to examine it more closely, just then the sound of a toilet flushing came from the bathroom.

Yi Yue quickly put it back, closed the lid, and returned it to its original place.

"Moon, let's go to sleep." Makise stretched, her loose pajamas unable to conceal her beautiful figure. She was a little sleepy, and like Izuki, she had the habit of taking a nap.

As Yi Yue lay in bed, she thought to herself, "It might just be my imagination."

……

In Yixue's room, Yixue opened a drawer, inside which was a diary printed on A4 paper.

After reading the diary the day before, Yixue immediately put it back in its place and sealed it with transparent tape. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice anything unusual.

Yixue looked at the pages of the bound diary and whispered, "Dad, I know everything." A gentle smile appeared on her face, tinged with a sickly blush.

……

In the evening, Makise suggested that the family go out to Changlong Plaza. There was a famous snack shop there.

The street was brightly lit, and it was lined with food stalls with tables and chairs set up along the way.

This is the kind of place Rena likes the most.

"Daddy, I want to eat this! And this too!" Rena exclaimed excitedly.

Makise also loves eating these street snacks, holding grilled cold noodles in her left hand and takoyaki in her right.

Rena holds stinky tofu in her left hand and grabs pancakes in her right hand.

The two didn't look like mother and son, but more like gluttonous sisters.

After finding a clean seat, Makise ate his food and took out his phone to take pictures.

"Rena, smile!"

Rena didn't react, with sauce still on her lips, staring blankly at the camera.

Click! The photo was taken.

Rena looks dazed and innocent in the video, which is especially cute and endearing.

"Haha!" Makise couldn't help but laugh.

Rena snapped, "Delete it now!" and tried to snatch the phone.

"No!" Makise dodged.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Rena angrily ate her grilled skewers, turning her grief and resentment into her appetite.

Izuki found it amusing, and Makise pointed the camera at Izuki as well: "Izuki, smile!"

Yi Yue was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and smiled at the camera.

Click. Makise stared at the photo, somewhat stunned.

"What's wrong? Did you take a bad picture?" Yi Yue asked curiously.

"No." Makise forced a smile and put her phone away.

The next day, Makise suggested going to the amusement park.

On the third day, we went to the aquarium.

On the fourth day, we went to the zoo.

Izuki didn't understand and asked Makise, "Why are you always out lately?"

"Doesn't Yue like it?" Makise asked. "I think it's nice for the whole family to come out together."

“That’s not what I meant,” Yi Yue said.

Makise said to Reina Yuki, who was standing in front of them, "Move to the side, yes, this is the spot." She took a picture with her phone, also capturing the panda behind them.

Izuki wanted to say something, but held back.

Makise said, "Tsuki, I've thought it through. To you, I'm important, and your daughter is important too. We're all indispensable."

Izuki asked, "Makise, when are you leaving?"

"Probably the day after tomorrow," Makise said with a smile.

"So early, shouldn't you stay a few more days?" Yi Yue said reluctantly, "You just got back not long ago."

Makise shook his head: "I was supposed to leave after our trip to Jiangzhou. I didn't expect to come back early. It's better to leave a few days earlier."

Is it in a hurry?

Makise nodded. "My dad's pressuring me." He then asked Izuki seriously, "Izuki, do you want to come back abroad with me?"
