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

Yi Yue shook his head with amusement; his previous job was as a teacher.

Rena blinked a few times, and then suddenly uttered an "Eh!" sound.

“If you have any questions, Yixue, you can always come to me. If you didn’t understand something in class, you can also ask me. I teach middle school.” Yiyue said.

Reina let out a soft whimper and lowered her head dejectedly, like a sad little kitten.

How could she have forgotten about that?

Still not giving up, Rena continued, "With the learning machine, won't you have a lot less to do and more free time?"

"Come on, what use is all that time of mine?"

Izuki patted Rena's head helplessly: "All you want is a computer or phone that can access the internet."

"Hmm..." Rena glanced at Izuki with annoyance, knowing that she was still making fun of her.

“How about this, if you get over 90 in each subject on your final exams, I’ll buy you a cell phone,” Izuki said, observing Reina’s reaction.

Rena's eyes lit up at first, but then slowly dimmed.

Itsuki noticed Rena's gloomy gaze and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy?"

Rena said weakly, "90 points in each subject. The exams are in two weeks, how could I possibly get 90 points with these grades?"

"Don't be so negative," Yi Yue said helplessly, scratching her cheek somewhat awkwardly.

Indeed, Rena's scores generally fluctuate between 60 and 70.

It's almost impossible that she, who usually slacks off so much, could suddenly improve her grades so much in just two weeks.

Actually, Izuki just wanted to motivate Rena and encourage her to work harder. As long as she saw that Rena had tried her best, even if she didn't get a high score, Izuki would still buy her a cell phone as a gift.

Unexpectedly, the opposite happened. Rena became listless, believing that she couldn't do it, and even thought that Itsuki deliberately gave her such a high score and deliberately didn't buy her a phone to make fun of her.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Feeling of Family

"How am I supposed to be motivated?" Rena whispered, muttering, "Did Dad deliberately give such a high score so he wouldn't buy me a phone?"

His tone was full of resentment; he was practically squatting in a corner drawing circles and cursing Yi Yue.

What can Izuki do? She can't just tell Rena directly that she'll buy her a phone after the final exams, because that won't motivate her to study hard.

I can't keep indulging her like this.

Yixue chuckled softly. She knew what Yiyue was thinking and mocked Lingna with feigned disdain.

"What are you laughing at?" Reina exclaimed sensitively, grimacing her fangs at Yixue.

"Where did I laugh?" Yixue tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"You were clearly laughing!" Reina exclaimed in dissatisfaction, thinking to herself that Yixue must be mocking her for being bad at studying!

That annoying guy must be thinking this!

It has to be said that Rena is being a bit too sensitive.

Looking at Yixue shrugging her shoulders, and then at Yiyue standing helplessly beside her, Rena lowered her head and pondered. She hadn't even tried yet, so how could she give up like this?

"I absolutely cannot let that guy laugh at me!"

Then I thought about it carefully: "Dad is such a good person, how could he deliberately make fun of me? He must want to see me try my best to improve."

"No matter how I do on my final exams, they'll definitely buy me a phone. I just need to pretend!"

"Haha, I'm so smart!"

Rena chuckled inwardly, but on her face she pretended to be angered by Yixue.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Rena said to Izuki, perking up.

Izuki glanced at Rena with some surprise. Wasn't she just looking dejected? How did she agree so quickly?

Suddenly, she noticed that Reina was looking at Yixue beside her with an angry and provocative gaze.

Yi Yue then realized, "Was it because of Yi Xue's provocation?" Remembering Ling Nai's somewhat prideful nature, she understood.

He nodded and smiled, "Yes, Dad believes you can do well on the exam."

Seeing the relief in Izuki's eyes, Rena secretly chuckled, "Hehe, Daddy's such a silly little thing. Phone, here I come!"

Seeing Yiyue's happy smile and the gratitude in her eyes, Yixue smiled back, thinking, "In Dad's eyes, I must think I'm very sensible and value me even more." She looked at Lingna and said, "Hmph, you idiot."

Reina noticed Yixue's gaze and thought to herself, "What an annoying idiot!"

I really don't know which one is the self-righteous fool.

After buying the items, go to the cashier to pay.

There was a lot of stuff. Yi Yue had originally prepared a shopping bag, but it was clearly not enough. She had to buy a large bag. There were also two bags of toilet paper that wouldn't fit.

Yi Yue picked up the largest and heaviest bag with her right hand and two bags of toilet paper with her left hand, leaving the lighter bag for Yi Xue to carry.

Rena is the younger sister, so it's definitely the older sister who should make the suggestion.

Reina, whose hands were empty, saw that Izuki and Izuki were carrying things and complained, "Where are mine? Where are mine?"

I don't want to fall behind Yixue, and I also want to share some of the burden.

After thinking for a moment, Izuki gave Rena a bag of toilet paper to carry.

The toilet paper is light and easy to handle.

Rena happily accepted it and skipped ahead.

Not far behind, Yi Xue followed, and behind Yi Xue, Yi Yue followed closely.

Yi Yue looked at her two daughters in front of her and smiled.

This is perhaps what family feels like.

……

Back home, Rena put the tissues next to the sofa and quickly turned on the air conditioner.

"Ugh, it's so hot!" Rena said softly, plopping down on the sofa.

Yi Yue had no time to rest; she still had to tidy up the things she had just bought and put them where they should be.

"I'll help you," Yixue said, obediently helping Yiyue.

After tidying everything up, Yi Yue told Yi Xue to rest on the sofa for a while, and went to the kitchen to cut fruit.

Cut the freshly bought apples, pears, and mangoes into small pieces and put them in a bowl, along with some washed grapes.

I picked up the bowl and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

"Eat up," Izuki said, sitting down next to Reina.

Rena was eating the beef cubes she had just bought, chewing as she watched an anime on TV.

"It's so late, why are you still eating snacks!" Yi Yue said disapprovingly, putting away the beef cubes on the table.

"Ugh, what are you doing!" Rena said unhappily.

"Eat some fruit!" Yi Yue pointed to the fruit on the table and warned her, "Eating snacks so late at night, be careful you don't get pimples on your face."

"Hmph." Rena just hummed a few times. Her skin was very good. Some other children had already started to get pimples, but her face was still very white and tender, and she didn't look like she was about to get pimples at all.

She felt that she inherited her good skin from Yi Yue. She dismissed Yi Yue's threats as mere alarmism and didn't take them to heart.

"Dad, I'm going to take a shower now." Yixue ate a few pieces of apple, stood up, and felt that she was covered in sweat and wanted to take a shower as soon as possible.

"Go ahead," Yi Yue said, adding that she was going to take a shower later as well.

I ate a few more pieces of fruit, yawned, and felt tired.

Izuki said to Rena, "Go to sleep early, you have school tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower now."

"I understand!" Rena stared intently at the TV screen, not even glancing at Izuki, her tone still very energetic.

Izuki shook her head, feeling a little tired. She was somewhat envious of Reina; how could she still be so energetic? She asked Reina, "Would you like some of the fruit on the table?"

Rena shook her head; she hadn't eaten many pieces of fruit.

Yi Yue picked up the bowl, ate the remaining fruit slices, and put the uneaten grapes back in the refrigerator. She made a cup of warm milk and went back to her room to take a shower.

Izuki's room has its own bathroom.

After a while, Yixue finished her shower. Wearing a white nightgown, she walked into the living room, leaned back lazily on the sofa, and sat down next to Lingna.

Reina continued watching TV, ignoring Yixue beside her.

Yixue smiled gently: "Do you still remember what you promised me?"

"What did I promise you?" Reina looked away from the TV screen and at Yixue.

Yixue stretched and groaned, "My back is a little sore. I wish someone could massage it for me." Then she glanced at Lingna.

Rena scoffed, "Rub it yourself!"

Yixue sighed dramatically, "How heartless. Hmm, my back is so sore. I wonder who promised to massage me." She moved her shoulders, making strange noises.

"Okay, okay, I'll press it!" Rena couldn't stand it anymore and muttered something unhappily.

"How should I massage?" Rena asked. She had never given a massage before. The only time she had ever done so was when she massaged her mother.

"Get up," Yixue said.

Rena stood up, puzzled: "What are you doing?"

Upon seeing Yixue, he found her sprawled on the sofa.

Chapter Thirty-Nine Massage

"Give me a massage. This way, it'll feel better." Yixue lay on the sofa.

"Hmph, dream on!" Reina snorted, bending down unhappily and placing her hands on Yixue's shoulders. She massaged them casually for a few moments before immediately withdrawing her hands.

"Hmm, why did you stop massaging?" Yixue said with dissatisfaction. The massage she had just given was quite strong, and as soon as she felt comfortable, Lingnai immediately withdrew her hand.
