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

"You still dare to say that!" Yi Yue was furious. "Do you remember the little rabbit we raised last time?!"

"Eh." Rena seemed to remember something, and her momentum faltered.

"Your uncle gave you a rabbit, but you don't eat it; instead, you use it to raise as a pet."

Rena stuck out her tongue: "Bunny is so cute, why would you eat a bunny?"

"You dare say that? Who ate the last rabbit?" Yi Yue said irritably.

Rena tapped her index fingers together, lowered her head, and whispered, "Rabbit committed suicide. It has nothing to do with me."

"Phew." Yi Yue really didn't know what to say, so she took a deep breath and exhaled. "Okay, let's talk about the cat your grandma gave you the time before last. That cat was very valuable, and you even said you could take good care of it, but after only a few days, the cat disappeared."

"Don't blame me," Rena said, feeling wronged.

"And the time before that, and ...

The examples were too numerous to count. Yi Yue became more and more agitated and helpless as she spoke: "You can't even take care of yourself, let alone raise pets."

Rena felt wronged by Itsuki's words, and lowered her head very low, letting out a mournful whimper like a small animal: "Waaah..."

Seeing Rena's pitiful little face, Izuki sighed and stopped talking. She patted Rena's head, her heart softening: "How about this, instead of cats and dogs, let's keep hamsters and turtles instead."

“Eh…” Rena looked up in surprise, her small eyes glistening with tears, and said emotionally, “Daddy, you’re so good!” Then she hugged Izuki tightly.

Izuki smiled helplessly and let Rena hug her.

"Let's go in quickly," Yi Yue said.

Rena immediately let go of Izuki, giggling happily, and ran inside.

Yi Yue smiled and shook her head, wondering if she was spoiling her too much.

“Dad, you spoil Lingna too much,” Yixue said.

Yi Yue scratched her cheek, smiled, and said nothing.

Yixue smiled and said, "Dad, if I were to make a request of you someday, would you agree to the same thing?"

“That depends on what it is,” Yi Yue said.

"Is that so?" Although Yixue maintained a smile on her face, she lowered her head with a hint of disappointment in her expression.

Yi Yue comforted her, "If I could do it, I would definitely agree." She joked, making exaggerated gestures to make Yi Xue laugh, "Otherwise, how could I possibly do something like catching the moon in the sky or fishing for whales in the sea?"

Yixue was amused by her father's clumsy appearance and whispered, "Daddy is so gentle." Smiling at Yiyue, she said, "I will never make unreasonable demands of Daddy." Tilting her head, the cute little girl said gracefully, "When the time comes, Daddy just needs to refuse or agree."

Yi Yue asked, "What are the requirements?"

Yi Xue put her finger to her lips, smiled slightly, and said softly, "It's a secret." Then she went into the pet shop.

"Secret? What secret?" Yi Yue was puzzled but didn't dwell on it, following Yi Xue inside.

Rena said to the two people who came in, "You guys are so slow!"

"Have you made your choice?" Yi Yue asked.

Rena said, "I've chosen." Pointing to the hamster in the cage in the glass display case in front of her, "I want to keep this one!"

Yi Yue stepped forward. The hamster in the cage was squeaking cutely, munching on peanuts, looking completely innocent and unaware.

This adorable hamster fell into Rena's hands...

Izuki fell into deep thought, then turned to Reina and said, "How about we raise turtles?" She pointed to the small turtle in the glass tank next door.

As if hearing Yi Yue calling it, the little turtle slowly poked its head out and took two steps.

"Heh." Yixue chuckled softly.

Rena pouted unhappily: "Dad, didn't you promise me I could keep a hamster?"

"I... I was just suggesting something," Izuki said awkwardly, avoiding looking at Reina.

“Then how about this?” Rena said, “I’ll take a small loss and buy the turtle as well.”

"Haha, the little girl is so cute." The female pet shop assistant standing to the side was amused by Rena's mature tone.

Yi Yue said irritably, "You clearly came out ahead, what do you mean by 'taking a small loss'! No way, you can only have one, the turtle or the hamster?"

Rena looked at the cute hamster, then at the slow-moving, not-at-all-cute little turtle, and without a second thought, she would definitely choose the hamster.

Just as Rena was about to speak, her eyes darted around, and she playfully stretched out her palm, slowly closing her fingers: "Only children make choices. I'm an adult now, I want them all!"

Izuki tapped her fingers together and gently tapped Rena's forehead.

"Ouch, Daddy, what are you doing! It hurts!" Rena covered her forehead.

Chapter Ninety Petrification

"Ahem." Yi Yue coughed, gesturing to the shop assistant next to her, feeling a little embarrassed.

Rena didn't understand what Izuki meant and looked at Izuki with a resentful expression.

The female shop assistant smiled and said, "Little girl, you're so cute! How old are you?"

"I'm twelve now, I'll be in the second year of junior high next semester," Rena said with a grin.

The female shop assistant thought Rena was really cute and smiled at Izuki, saying, "Is this your sister? She's really interesting." She was intermittently deaf, ignoring Rena's earlier address of Izuki as "Dad."

Unexpectedly, Yi Yue said awkwardly, "This is my daughter. She just called me 'Dad,' didn't you hear her?"

"Huh?" The female shop assistant was a little taken aback, blinked, "Daughter? Um, if I may ask, how old are you?"

“I’m already thirty-six,” Yi Yue said.

The shop assistant chuckled awkwardly a few times. "That joke isn't funny at all. You look very young." Seeing Yixue standing to the side, she pointed at her and said, "This must be your girlfriend, right? Has anyone said you two look like a married couple?"

Yi Xue looks about five or six points similar to Yi Yue, and they are about the same height. When they stand together, they do look like a married couple.

Yixue was delighted to hear this, and hugged Yiyue's arm, smiling sweetly, "Yes, I'm his girlfriend. Right, Dad?" She was joking on purpose.

Yi Yue patted Yi Xue's head and smiled. Yi Xue squinted her eyes as if enjoying it, resting her head against Yi Yue's arm like a kitten.

"Dad?" The female shop assistant stiffened, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears. She looked at Yi Yue with a strange gaze. He was very beautiful and didn't seem like someone with any special fetishes. How could he let his girlfriend call him Dad? You really can't judge a book by its cover.

Seeing the shop assistant's expression, Rena found it amusing and played along, saying, "I'm his girlfriend too. Right, Dad?" She winked and grabbed Izuki's other hand.

The female shop assistant froze, staring at Reina, Izumi, and Izumi, her mind filled with many things unsuitable for children.

She's having a terrible headache right now.

Look at Izuki, then look at Rena Yixue.

"It doesn't seem like I'd lose out," the female shop assistant thought to herself, then immediately shook her head, her face flushed with embarrassment. She gave an awkward laugh, coughed twice, and changed the subject: "Ahem, if your little sister wants this turtle and this hamster, how about this: buy the hamster and a hamster cage, and we'll give the turtle to her as a gift."

"A cage? What kind of cage?" Yi Yue asked.

The saleswoman immediately took out many hamster cages from the cabinet: "We have regular wire hamster cages, and also hamster cages with rolling hoops..."

The female shop assistant explained one by one, "When you buy a hamster, you definitely need to give your pet a good home. It will be comfortable for it, and it will look nice to you too."

“Daddy, I want this cage.” Rena pointed to one of the pink cages. The cage was large, with two levels, a wheel, a room, and a small bathtub—it had everything.

“It’s really quite good,” Yi Yue said.

The female shop assistant smiled and said, "You have excellent taste, little sister. This cage is the most comprehensive one. It has everything you need, is easy to clean, very practical, and looks beautiful and elegant."

Rena smiled happily and said to Itsuki, "Daddy, I want this cage!"

“Alright, then go pick out a hamster,” Yi Yue said.

The female shop assistant led Rena to the cabinet where the hamsters were stored, but Rena shook her head and pointed to the hamster that had been in the glass cabinet before.

"Do you want this one?" the saleswoman asked.

"Yes, I want this one!" Rena felt an instant connection with the adorable hamster and placed her finger in front of the glass.

The hamster immediately ran over and rubbed its little head against Rena's, trying to please her. If it weren't for the glass separating them, it probably would have rubbed against Rena's fingers.

"Look at it, it likes me so much." Rena was overjoyed.

The female shop assistant muttered to herself, "That's strange. He's usually so lifeless, how come he's suddenly so energetic?"

"Is that alright?" Rena asked the shop assistant.

The saleswoman immediately smiled and said, "Sure, but this is for exhibition purposes, so it will be a bit more expensive."

"How much do you want?" Yi Yue asked as she came over.

The female shop assistant said, "The hamster is 35 yuan, and the cage is 75 yuan. How about this, I'll just give you 100 yuan."

Yiyue paid at the front desk.

The female shop assistant explained the precautions to Rena and gave her two small silver bags: "These are cleaning sand and cleaning salt." She then took out a small transparent bag containing small black pellets: "These are turtle food. Don't feed them too much, seven or eight pellets are enough." She packed these things in a red bag and handed them to Rena.

"Oh." Rena nodded and took it.

With a plastic basket containing turtles in her left hand and a cage containing hamsters in her right, Yi Yue said, "Let's go."

Yixue followed behind Yiyue, while Lingna happily walked at the back.

Along the way, Rena would occasionally lower her head, blow air at the hamster in the cage, and beckon with her finger.

This chubby white hamster is very clever and intelligent. It grips the cage wires with its paws in an extremely human-like manner, squeaking as it does so.

"Haha, so cute!" Rena teased.

Yi Yue complained, "Look up and watch where you're going! If you want to play, go home and play with it slowly. It's dangerous not to watch where you're going!"

"Okay," Rena said to the hamster. "I'll play with you when we get home."

The hamster seemed to understand, making a squeak as if to say it knew, and obediently sat down.

"Let's go to the dessert shop to rest for a while and get something to eat." Yi Yue felt her feet were tired and she was hungry. She happened to pass by a dessert shop and thought she would stop and rest for a bit.

This dessert shop is not far from the sports park, and it's full of people who have finished exercising.

Imagine exercising for a while, getting tired and hungry, then sitting in an air-conditioned dessert shop, drinking a cup of milk tea, and eating a sausage and meatball—how pleasant that would be!
