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

"So annoying!" Rena gritted her teeth, still wanting to buy more.

Kyoko advised, "Let's play something else." She was afraid that Rena would get into a fight with it and waste money and energy.

"I'll do it," Yixue said, buying a ticket and picking up the toy gun next to her.

"Tch." Reina put down the toy gun, disdainful, not believing that Yixue could hit it.

As expected, the first shot went terribly off target. Rena chuckled. But the second shot only went slightly off target. Rena blinked, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

The third shot, the fourth shot, and finally the fifth shot—the numbered balloon was successfully popped. The shopkeeper handed the teddy bear to Yixue.

Lili exclaimed, "Sister Yixue is so amazing!"

"No way." Rena couldn't believe it.

"Here you go." Yixue gave the teddy bear to Xingzi.

"Thank you," Xingzi said with a smile.

"Ugh." Reina looked at Yixue with displeasure, feeling very unhappy: "I was right first, why, why..."

Afterwards, Yi Yue took a picture of them with her phone. Looking at everyone in the photo, she smiled gently. Seeing the shop in front of them, she realized they were hungry and prepared to go in and buy something.

While waiting, I was stopped by a group of girls.

These girls are young and beautiful; they are recent high school graduates.

"Ah, are you talking about me?" Yi Yue asked curiously, looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, oh!" a short-haired girl exclaimed excitedly, nudging the girl next to her, "Go ahead."

"No, you go."

The girls hesitated and whispered among themselves, but finally the girl with short hair stepped forward and asked, "Can we take a picture together?"

"Uh," Yi Yue hesitated.

"Please," the girl pleaded.

"Okay," Izumi said with a forced smile.

The girls were very happy and took turns taking photos with Yi Yue. At first, it was normal, but later the girls got closer and closer, even resting their heads on Yi Yue's shoulder.

Not satisfied after taking the photos, he chatted happily with Yiyue.

"Where do you live, handsome?"

"Is the young man a college student?"

"You must be in high school, right? You look so young and tender. Should I call you little brother?"

"Does the young man have any company? Can he come with us?"

Being so close, Yi Yue felt awkward and somewhat at a loss.

Are all kids like this nowadays? Is this considered being flirted with?

"Let's go." Yixue smiled and came in to defuse the situation. "Excuse me, please let me through." She said to the girl, took Yiyue's hand, and deliberately did not call Yiyue "Dad".

Yi Yue hadn't returned for a long time, so he came to look for him and happened to witness what had just happened. He came in to help Yi Yue out of the predicament.

Yi Xue held onto Yi Yue's arm with both hands and rested her head on his shoulder. This intimate gesture caught the attention of the girls, who wondered if she was his girlfriend.

“I am his girlfriend,” Yi Xue replied with a bright smile, as radiant as a white lotus flower.

"Let's go... Daddy," Yixue whispered in Yiyue's ear, making Yiyue's ear tickle. To the other girls, it looked like she was whispering sweet nothings in Yiyue's ear.

Once outside the shop, Yi Yue said irritably, "You're talking nonsense again. You should have just come out. You have no manners."

Yi Xue smiled and said, "Dad, don't you want me to be your girlfriend?" She mimicked Makise's tone when calling Izuki, and softly asked, "Yue?"

When Yixue called her that, Yiyue felt strange but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She said seriously, "Don't make jokes like that again, or I'll get angry."

"How angry will Daddy be?" Yixue wondered to herself. "I'm kind of curious to see what Daddy looks like when he's angry. Will he spank me? Hehe."

Chapter 108 Surprise

They played until late at night before going home.

Izuki prepared a large table of dishes, even more lavish than at noon, all of them fish and meat, and all of Reina's favorite dishes.

While eating, Rena asked, "Daddy, where's my present?"

Rena was getting impatient, as Izuki hadn't given her a gift yet.

"Is it because Mom is coming back and Dad is going to give me a surprise?" Rena wondered to herself.

Izuki scratched her cheek, and Reina, seeing this, felt that she was probably right about 80%.

Unexpectedly, Izuki brought out a large cake: "Happy birthday, Reina."

The cake was decorated with lots of fruit and cream, and a CC with green hair and yellow eyes was drawn on it.

CC is one of Rena's favorite characters.

This cake was made by Itsuki herself as a birthday gift for Rena. It's a bit rough around the edges and has many flaws, but for a beginner, it's already quite good.

Rena stared blankly at the cake, feeling a little disappointed—not with the gift itself, but simply because she wanted to see her mother. However, she quickly masked this disappointment and smiled.

"Everyone's watching me, I can't be sad, I have to smile. Maybe Mom will be back later, or maybe Dad is trying to give me a wake-up call." Rena thought to herself, her smile growing brighter and brighter.

Yi Yue lit the candles on the cake and turned off the lights.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Everyone clapped and sang a birthday song for Rena.

For some reason, Rena felt an overwhelming urge to cry, so she pursed her lips, forced a smile, and blew out the candle.

The lights came on. Izuki cut the cake: "Everyone, come and eat!"

Place the sliced ​​cake into paper plates and share it.

"How does it taste?" Yi Yue asked.

"So sweet, so delicious," Lili said.

Kyoko and the others nodded and said it was delicious, and Izuki smiled happily.

Lili ate her cake, glanced at the cream on the plate, her little eyes darted around, and she giggled. She smeared some cream on her finger and slapped it on Rena's face.

"Okay!" Rena hummed, smeared some cream on herself, and chased after Lili.

"Sister Xingzi, save me!" Lili cried out from behind Xingzi.

"Get out here quickly!"

"do not want!"

The two people circled around Xingzi, who felt dizzy and advised, "Stop fooling around." As soon as she finished speaking, her face was also covered in cream.

"Hahaha..." Lili and Rena laughed heartlessly, pointing at Anzu's "big painted face".

Kyoko was helpless. Izumi was laughing to the side, but how could Reina forget her? She grabbed the half-eaten cake and slapped it on Izumi's face.

Yi Xue's smile slowly faded, and she coldly grabbed a handful of the leftover cream.

"Haha." Yi Yue shook her head and laughed, taking pictures of them with her phone. After taking several pictures, she suddenly felt a chill on her face, realizing she had suffered an undeserved disaster.

Rena took the phone and stuck her tongue out at him.

"Alright!" Izuki also joined the fray.

The house was a complete mess, with cream everywhere around the table.

After picking up Lili and the others, Yiyue didn't finish tidying up until very late.

"Honestly," Yi Yue laughed and scolded, wondering why she was even bothering with them. She'd made such a mess, and in the end, she was the one cleaning up after them.

……

In the bedroom, Yi Yue sat at the table, carefully placing several photos into a photo album.

These photos were taken earlier. Some were at the amusement park, and some were taken right after eating cake and spreading cream. I took them to the photo studio to get them developed while dropping Lili and the others off at home.

"Bang bang..." There was a knocking sound at the door.

"Come in," said Izuki, and Reina entered.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you asleep yet?" Yi Yue checked the time; it was almost one in the morning.

"I can't sleep." Rena pursed her lips and lowered her head, looking distressed.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Rena's discomfort, Izuki assumed she had eaten something bad.

Rena shook her head and said, "Dad, I miss Mom."

Izuki softened and gently patted Rena's head, saying, "She...she'll be back tomorrow." She originally wanted to say she'd be back tonight, but worried that Rena would stay up all night waiting for her mother, so she changed her mind and said she'd be back tomorrow.

"Really!" Rena exclaimed excitedly, looking up at the screen.

"Really." Yi Yue nodded. "I was planning to come back today to surprise you, but something came up and I can only come back tomorrow."

"I knew it!" Rena exclaimed happily.

Yi Yue said, "Go to sleep quickly, otherwise you'll look listless when you see your mother tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go to sleep right away." Rena saw the photo album on the table, walked over and asked, "What's this? Are these my photos?"

"Yes, these are your photos. I took pictures of you from when you were little to now," Yi Yue said.

Rena flipped to the first photo, which showed a chubby little baby sleeping in a stroller.

“This is when you were one year old,” Yi Yue said with a smile. “You could call me ‘Dad’ back then.”

Rena flipped through the pages, and Itsuki said, "At this time, you could walk, and at this time, you could talk."

Flipping back to when I was seven, I found a group photo taken at KFC.

Rena was a little chubby back then, holding a chicken leg in her hand, smiling at the camera, showing her true foodie nature.

Flipping further, you'll find a bubble tea shop; flipping even further, you'll find a buffet restaurant; and flipping still, you'll find a Korean BBQ restaurant.

Rena asked in surprise, "Why are all the places where I take pictures restaurants?"
