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

Chapter 83 Cycle

Once in the car, Reina sat in the passenger seat and smugly hummed at Yixue, who was sitting in the back seat.

As Izuki drove, Reina asked, "Dad, where should we eat?"

“Didn’t I tell you to go to the Rongqiao Hotel next to Zuohai Park?” Yi Yue said.

"Oh, oh!" Rena exclaimed happily. She had been there once before, and the food there was plentiful and delicious.

"Does Yixue like to eat there?" Yiyue asked.

Yixue smiled and said, "I like it." She lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and whispered, "If Dad likes it, then I like it too."

After driving for half an hour, we arrived at the entrance of Rongqiao Hotel. Yi Yue parked the car in the parking lot and got out.

A waiter smiled and said at the hotel entrance, "Welcome."

As you enter through the revolving door, a smiling waitress approaches and asks, "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

"I made a reservation for dinner," Yi Yue said.

"Yes, sir, please follow me." The waitress led Yi Yue and the others to the front desk.

Yi Yue showed her phone, and the waiter led them to the buffet restaurant on the second floor.

The restaurant was decorated in orange-red tones and played soft music.

Rena followed the waiter, passing each table laden with food, her eyes wide and sparkling, making little "oh" sounds. She couldn't wait to sit down and eat.

The waiter led them to a window seat, outside which were pots of vibrant flowers, each a different color and vying for attention. Looking further afield, they could also see the streetscape.

The environment is beautiful and elegant.

The waiter smiled and said, "If you need anything, just press the bell on the table."

Rena noticed the buttons on either side of the table. Press one if needed, and a waiter will be there immediately.

The waiter withdrew, and Yi Yue said, "Go get whatever you want to eat. Oh, and go wash your hands in the restroom first!"

"Okay!" Rena giggled and ran out happily.

Yi Xue smiled beside Yi Yue and went to the restroom with her to wash her hands.

Before long, Rena returned carrying a lot of food. She drank soda and ate fried chicken, pasta, and other cooked dishes.

"Why did you only take this much?" Izuki asked. The food Reina took could be eaten anytime, anywhere outside.

This is a relatively upscale buffet restaurant, costing 200 yuan per person. They have barbecue, seafood, and drinks; basically anything you could want.

Rena stuck out her tongue: "They're grilling it. I ordered barbecue, but it's not done yet."

"Don't just eat barbecue," Yi Yue said helplessly. A waiter carried a hot pot, placed it on the induction cooker on the table, adjusted the temperature, and then left.

Yi Yue put the seafood and vegetables in, stood up and said, "Take a look, I'll be right back." A few minutes later, Yi Yue returned with two steaks.

This was grilled by the front desk at Yi Yue's request. The steak was sprinkled with black pepper sauce, and served with noodles and an egg. It was no different from steaks served outside, just a smaller portion.

"Here you go." Yi Yue placed the two steaks in front of Ling Nai Yi Xue.

"Thank you, Dad," Rena said happily, eagerly picking up her knife and fork. "You really understand me, Dad."

"Thank you, Dad." Yixue asked with concern, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"No need." Izuki smiled and shook her head, saying to Reina, "If you want some, I'll get one from up ahead."

"Mmm!" Rena said happily, cutting her steak with a knife and fork, and was about to put a piece in her mouth.

"Be careful, it's hot, don't get burned," Izuki said. The steak had just been grilled and was too hot; she was worried that Reina would burn her mouth.

"Don't worry, I won't get burned. I'm not a three-year-old." Rena took a bite of the steak and mumbled, "It's a bit tough. It's even a little hard to cut." She pushed the steak aside and picked up the pasta next to her and ate a few bites.

Izuki carefully took Reina's steak and used a knife and fork to cut it into small pieces for her.

"Dad, can you cut some for me too?" Yixue asked with a smile, not wanting only Lingna to enjoy her father's tenderness.

"Mm." Yi Yue also cut the steak into small pieces for Yi Xue.

Yixue quietly looked at Yiyue, thinking to herself, "Daddy is so gentle, I love this kind of daddy."

"Eat up." Yi Yue placed the steak in front of Yi Xue.

"Thank you, Dad." Yixue took a bite and smiled sweetly. "It's delicious."

Yi Yue seemed to have tasted the flavor and smiled happily.

Yixue used a fork to pick up a piece of steak and brought it to Yiyue's lips: "Daddy, have a piece too."

"Okay, sure." Yi Yue ate it.

"Is it good?" Yixue asked, tilting her head and smiling.

"It's delicious." Yiyue said.

Hearing Yi Yue say it was delicious, Yi Xue smiled even more brightly, lowered her head, and blushed slightly. When she raised her head again, she returned to normal.

Every few bites, Yixue would use a fork to pick up a piece of steak and feed it to Yiyue.

Since it was her daughter's kind gesture, Yi Yue felt embarrassed to refuse and ate it every time.

Rena watched from the side, chewing on her steak, feeling a bit uneasy. It tasted really good, but now it tasted like chewing wax.

"Daddy, eat!" Rena also picked up a piece of steak and fed it to Itsuki's mouth.

"Mmm." Yi Yue smiled and ate it.

Reina smiled triumphantly at Yixue, as if declaring ownership.

"Hehe." Yixue laughed, and also picked up a piece of steak and put it to Yiyue's mouth.

Izuki ate it too.

Yixue glanced at Lingna.

"Hmm..." Rena was unhappy and picked up another piece of steak and put it to Itsuki's mouth.

This time, however, Yi Yue didn't eat it.

Yi Yue said, "No need, you guys can eat it, don't keep giving it to me."

Rena said dejectedly, "Oh." She looked very disappointed.

Yi Yue sighed helplessly, took Rena's fork, ate a small piece of steak, returned the fork to Rena, patted her little head and said, "Good girl, if Daddy wants to eat, he will get it himself."

"Mmm." Reina nodded, perking up. She glanced at Yixue beside her, her eyes seeming to say, "Daddy likes me a little more!"

Yixue smiled, but inwardly she thought disdainfully, "Dad only sees you as a child." She secretly thought, "Dad likes me more."

Chapter 84 Awkwardness

After finishing the steak, Rena brought out some barbecue for herself. She ate happily, her mouth covered in sauce and oil.

"Eat slowly, don't rush," Yi Yue said, just about to take a tissue to wipe Rena's mouth when a sudden idea struck her. She took out her phone and took a picture of Rena.

In the photo, Rena, with her cute little fangs showing, is holding barbecue skewers in both hands and eating them. It looks really interesting and adorable.

"Haha." Yi Yue couldn't help but laugh.

"Dad, what are you laughing at?" Yixue asked curiously.

Yi Yue turned her phone screen towards Yi Xue, and Yi Xue smiled.

Rena, who was eating barbecue, stopped and looked at the two of them, puzzled. "What are you laughing at?" She stood up, looked at Izumi's phone, and saw herself on the screen. Rena blushed slightly and snapped, "Dad, when did you take this picture?!" She put down the barbecue and ran over. "Delete it right now!"

"Haha, I won't delete it, I'll keep it as a souvenir." Yi Yue laughed, holding up her phone, "Let your mom see what you look like." With that, she sent the photo to Makise's WeChat.

"Hey, give it to Mom." Rena paused slightly, then grabbed Itsuki's hand: "Hurry up and delete it! Retract it, retract it!"

"No, no! Let your mother see, what's the harm?" Yi Yue laughed.

"Ugh, she'll laugh herself to death!" Rena pouted in dissatisfaction and pleaded, "Daddy, take it back!" She shook Izuki's arm. If force didn't work, she'd try a softer approach.

"No, no, we won't leave. We'll wait for Mom to come back and let her have a good talk with you," Yi Yue said with a smile.

Rena blinked, seizing on the flaw in Itsuki's words, and guessed, "Is Mom coming back?"

"Huh? I'm not too sure either." Realizing she had let something slip, Yi Yue scratched her cheek and lied, "I guess I'll be back around the New Year."

"Dad can't even lie properly!" Rena chuckled to herself. "My birthday is coming up soon, and Mom will definitely be back on my birthday to surprise me. Dad is so clumsy, I won't call him out on it for now. On my birthday, when Mom comes back, I'll pretend to be surprised and see Dad's silly but happy expression. That'll be really funny."

Rena pretended to be dejected and whispered, "What? It's New Year's Day, and it's so late. I miss my mom a little."

Izuki couldn't bear it and patted Rena's head: "You never know, maybe she'll come back earlier."

"Hmm." Rena nodded dejectedly, thinking to herself, "Hehe, Daddy's so stupid." Her eyes darted around, and she had an idea. She secretly took out her phone from her pocket and took a picture of Izumi when he wasn't looking.

"Huh?" Yi Yue was startled by the phone's flash and didn't understand what was going on, feeling a little confused.

"Hehe, Daddy looks so silly~" Rena ran out triumphantly, waved her phone at Izuki, and showed Izuki the other side of the screen.

Yi Yue laughed and scolded, "You little rascal. Wait until your mother gets back, and see if she doesn't spank you."

"Hehehe." Rena stuck out her tongue. "Are you the dad or the mom? Dad is tattling to mom, hee hee." She wasn't afraid at all.

Yi Yue shook her head and laughed, "You've really been spoiled. You're not afraid of me at all."

“Dad doesn’t look fierce at all,” Rena said proudly. “I’m not afraid of Dad at all.”

"What's there to be proud of?" Yi Yue said helplessly.

After finishing their meal, Rena used her phone to take a group photo of the family of three, smiling at the camera.

"eggplant!"

After taking several photos, Reina looked at them and complained that Izuki's angle wasn't right, and that Izuki wasn't photogenic. After all that, Reina said narcissistically, "As expected, mine is still the best!"

"Yes, yes, you took the most beautiful picture," Yi Yue said with a smile, and Yi Xue smiled back.

As they were chatting and getting ready to leave, Yi Yue's phone rang.

"Hello?" Yi Yue answered the phone. The voice on the other end was female; it was Yi Xue's homeroom teacher.
