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

"I... never mind, I'm going back to my room." Yi Yue lowered her head and went upstairs.

Reina asked, "Dad looks very unhappy. What happened?"

“There’s nothing I can’t tell you. Just think of yourself as my dad. I’ve caught you doing something really serious.” Makise’s expression changed slightly as he said this, showing some guilt. “Back then, I did have a bit of a perverse sense of humor, and I went a little too far.”

"It won't be the old trope of them developing feelings for each other and then becoming a loving couple," Rena said.

Makise glanced at Rena.

"Okay, it really is." Rena pouted and comforted him, "Dad isn't that petty, he'll definitely forgive you."

“If you don’t forgive him, we can’t be together,” Makise said. “This matter ended a long time ago.” She whispered, “Let me tell you a secret. Don’t let your father’s current appearance fool you. He used to be a bit insecure. Although he was very gentle, he was timid and didn’t like to talk much. He was always alone and didn’t have any friends. This time, Yue mustered up a lot of courage to go on stage and wanted to prove herself. She rehearsed hundreds of times and barely managed to get on stage.”

Makise said softly, "I really like how hard your father works. That's when I fell in love with him." She thought sadly, "It's a pity that your father doesn't pay attention to anyone else. I used some tricks... I... I just wanted Yue to notice me, but I didn't expect it to turn out this way."

"I see." Rena nodded, imagining a scene in her mind: Makise accompanied Itsuki in training hundreds of times, and finally the two of them went on stage, gave a perfect performance, and got together.

It's such a beautiful story. Unfortunately, the real story is that Izuki kept singing to the air and to the wall over and over again, while Makise secretly watched from behind, trying not to let Izuki notice. Izuki never noticed her.

Yixue went upstairs without saying a word.

Chapter 113 Rewards

Yi Yue sat on the bed, her eyes downcast, and murmured to herself, "Zhi Xue."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Yi Yue composed herself and said, "Come in."

Yixue came in, closed the door, walked to Yiyue's side, and noticed that Yiyue's eyes were slightly red and she forced a smile to hide her disappointment.

Yi Xue felt heartbroken and stood beside Yi Yue, wishing she could share all of Yi Yue's pain.

"What's wrong?" Yi Yue asked.

Yixue didn't say anything, but suddenly hugged Yiyue tightly.

Yi Yue paused for a moment, then slowly hugged Yi Xue.

Yixue whispered in Yiyue's ear, "Dad..." In her heart, she thought, "I'm sorry, it's all because of me. I'm the one who hurt Dad." Yixue could guess what had happened.

"I'm fine." Yi Yue smiled and gently pushed Yi Xue away. "You're acting like something terrible happened. You don't need to comfort me."

“What Dad considers a small matter is a big deal to me,” Yixue said earnestly, leaving Yiyue somewhat at a loss for words before responding with a soft “hmm.”

Yixue sat down next to Yiyue, smiling and looking at her with concern. She couldn't help but think, "Dad looks so handsome. I wish I could stay by his side forever and just look at him like this."

After sitting for a while, Yi Yue said, "Yi Xue, I'm sorry."

"Hmm, why are you apologizing?" Yi Xue didn't understand why Yi Yue suddenly apologized.

"I feel like I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father," Yi Yue said guiltily.

“No, Daddy has already done it! Daddy is the best! I love Daddy the most!” Yixue said hurriedly, her voice a little loud. Seeing Yiyue’s stunned look, she immediately lowered her voice and said, “Daddy is good to me no matter what.”

Yi Yue didn't know what to say, and touched Yi Xue's head.

Yixue lowered her head obediently, panting, and asked with an unusual blush on her face, "Dad, you like me the most too, right?"

"Ok!"

With Yi Yue's affirmation, Yi Xue's lips curled up more and more, and she couldn't help but want to laugh out loud, "Dad loves me the most."

Just then, Makise entered.

“Moon…” Makise was about to say something, but he stopped himself as soon as he entered the room and saw Izuki blushing as Izuki patted his head.

Yixue glanced at Mu Se, the corners of her mouth curling up into a sweet smile: "Daddy, I'm going out now."

"Ah."

Yixue got up and gave Makise a polite smile as she left.

Makise had a strange feeling in his heart, like a small fishbone stuck in his throat. It didn't have any effect, but it was just very uncomfortable.

Suppressing his feelings, Makise walked to Izuki's side and apologized, "Izuki, I'm sorry, my joke just now went a bit too far."

Yi Yue shook her head: "No, I'm the one who should apologize. You were just joking. I shouldn't have thrown such a tantrum in front of my daughters. It's all in the past, and I shouldn't hold a grudge."

“Moon…” Makise was touched, looking at Izuki’s smile and touching his face.

"I'm a little tired and want to sleep." Yi Yue got up and planned to go out to make a cup of warm milk, drink it, and then go to sleep.

"I'll help you go to the bar." Makise stood up.

"No need, go take a shower." Itsuki gently kissed Makise's cheek.

Makise blushed slightly and hummed in agreement.

Yi Yue went downstairs to the kitchen and found Yi Xue making milk.

"Here you go." Yi Xue had already prepared a cup of milk for Yi Yue, as if she knew Yi Yue would come down.

Yi Yue asked, somewhat surprised, "How did you know I was going to come down?" She took a sip of milk.

“Because I’m Daddy’s good daughter,” Yixue said with a smile, leaning her head towards Yiyue. “So Daddy isn’t planning to give such a good daughter a reward?”

"Huh?" Yi Yue hesitated, then reached out and touched Yi Xue.

Yixue was very obedient and well-behaved, and was very happy when Yiyue patted her head. She whispered in Yiyue's ear, "Thank you for the reward, Daddy," and then picked up her milk and ran back to her room.

Looking at Yixue's figure, Yiyue sighed and smiled, "Something feels off. But Yixue is indeed very sensible."

Back in the room, it was dark. Turning on the light, Makise wasn't in bed; she seemed to be taking a shower in the bathroom and hadn't come out yet.

As soon as Yi Yue closed the door and walked in, the lights suddenly went out.

Izuki was puzzled and was about to turn on the light when Makise suddenly hugged her. In the darkness, she could only hear Makise's voice in her ear.

Makise breathed softly into Itsuki's ear, his voice as gentle as a feather, lightly tickling Itsuki's ear and stirring Itsuki's heartstrings.

She had just finished a hot shower, and her body had a faint, pleasant fragrance.

Makise asked softly, her breath sweet as orchids, "Moon, what would you like to drink?"

“Milk? Don’t you know about it?” Izuki said, her hand holding the milk cup was grabbed by Makise’s hand, which wrapped around Izuki like a water snake.

Makise, like a young girl, pouted and said, "It's not fair! Why is it only Tsuki who gets to drink milk? I want to drink milk too!" Her voice was soft and tender.

……

……

The next morning, Izuki opened her eyes, stretched, and felt refreshed. Looking to the side, she discovered that Makise was gone.

"Where's Makise?" Itsuki asked curiously as she went downstairs and found him making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Tsuki, you're awake." Makise smiled, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, looking every bit the virtuous wife and loving mother.

"Are you making breakfast?" Yi Yue asked in surprise. Makise had never lifted a finger in the kitchen, and she never expected that Makise would actually cook.

Makise retorted, "Don't underestimate me. At least I can fry something."

When Izuki went in, she saw Makise frying eggs and bacon. Makise couldn't cook, but she could still make simple dishes like fried eggs and hot dishes.

"Why did you suddenly decide to make breakfast?" Yi Yue asked.

“I see you work hard making breakfast every morning, so I wanted you to take a break,” said Makise’s youngest daughter.

"Thank you for your hard work," Yi Yue said, walking behind Makise and gently taking her fingers, pointing out, "No, that's not how you fry it." Yi Yue spoke gently, teaching Makise step by step.

Makise blushed slightly and let Itsuki do as she pleased.

“It should be like this…” Izuki didn’t notice Makise’s odd behavior and continued to teach earnestly.

Makise felt that Itsuki was very sweet and gentle, and her heart was like a pool of clear water, with ripples spreading gently.

"Do you understand now?" Yi Yue asked, releasing her hand.

"Ah..." Makise finally came to her senses, "I...I know."

"Okay, you can continue. I'll go wake up the daughters," Yi Yue said.

Makise wanted to say something but held back. After Izuki walked away, she said somewhat unhappily, "Why are you calling me 'daughter'? Can't you just continue teaching me?"

Chapter 114 Backbone

At the dining table, Rena took a bite of her sandwich and complained, "Dad, didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Huh?" Izuki was taken aback, glanced at Makise beside her, and immediately looked away. "Why do you ask that?"

Rena spat out the burnt egg crumbs: "It's awful! The eggs are burnt, the sandwich bread isn't cooked properly, some parts are undercooked and it's still cold, and the bacon has no flavor."

Rena continued to ramble on, criticizing, "I'm starting to doubt that it was even you, Dad. It's so badly made."

Reina's words made Makise lose face. "Looks like your dad spoiled you with your tastes."

"Hmph, that's right." Rena said smugly, even though it wasn't a compliment, she was still so proud of herself.

"I didn't sleep well last night, so I wasn't feeling too refreshed and ended up rushing things a bit," Yi Yue said with a smile.

Makise paused for a moment, then Itsuki patted her hand under the table.

Makise blushed slightly and said softly, "Just say it directly, there's no need for this. Tsuki really is something."

When Yixue heard that Yiyue wasn't sleeping well, she immediately said with concern, "Dad, you need to take care of yourself. After you finish eating, go back and rest for a while. You don't need to get up so early on the weekend to make breakfast for us."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Rena, who liked to stay in bed, nodded repeatedly, echoing Yixue’s second half of the sentence, “We don’t need to get up so early on weekends to make breakfast for us.”

Yixue glared at Lingna with annoyance.

"It's alright," Yi Yue said with a smile. "Eat quickly."

Rena ate a few bites, then spat out a small piece of burnt egg white. "Ptooey, Dad, you should go back and catch up on your sleep. Try to sleep better next time."

"Rena, how can you talk to your father like that!" Makise was a little embarrassed.

Reina stuck out her tongue.

"Haha." Yi Yue laughed and shook her head.
