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

"Alright, see how it is." Izuki let go of her hand, and Reina looked in the mirror, somewhat unable to believe her eyes.

"I thought my dad could only do those old-fashioned hairstyles, and I was afraid he would make me look like a cockroach. But I didn't expect him to do them so well."

Rena pursed her lips, blew air, stuck out her tongue, and then showed her canine teeth in front of the mirror. Her series of actions were extremely lively and cute, like a playful little girl.

Izuki looked at Rena with amusement. Rena's happy and lively appearance made Izuki happy too.

Rena suddenly remembered that Izuki was still watching from behind, and her face turned slightly red. She had been so engrossed in herself that she had forgotten Izuki's presence, and her childlike actions had been seen by her father.

Seeing Izuki smile, Rena's face grew redder and redder. Thinking of an anime she had watched yesterday, she imitated the female character in the show, shaking her head and waving her ponytail, wanting to hit Izuki with her ponytail and punish her for mocking her.

The reason she asked Yiyue to help her tie her hair into pigtails was because she suddenly felt like cosplaying a female character from the show.

But unlike in the animation, no matter how hard she tried, the ponytail didn't move; it looked limp and floppy.

"Well……"

This is not what I imagined.

Rena thought to herself, and commanded the ponytail to move, to get up quickly.

"Rena, what are you doing?" Itsuki was completely baffled. What was Rena doing, constantly shaking her head and tossing her braids in front of him?

Rena blushed even more when asked by Itsuki, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry. She threw him away with all her might, urging him to hurry up and move!

The proud golden ponytail finally started moving, and Rena was a little happy, but she used too much force, and the ponytail actually brushed past Izuki's cheek and slapped hard on her nose.

"Ugh!" Rena covered her nose in pain.

"What's wrong?" Yi Yue asked with concern.

Rena glared at Izuki, her face flushed, and lowered her hand, pretending to be nonchalant, saying, "No, I didn't!" Realizing her voice was too loud, Rena lowered it again, "Let's go eat, I'm hungry." She went out, her face still red.

Yi Yue scratched her cheek and followed them out.

At the dining table, Yixue had already finished eating and was holding a small booklet, memorizing formulas.

This booklet was distributed by the school, one for each student, to copy down the key points. They were to take it out and review it during their free time—whether on the bus, before bed, or in the restroom—to reinforce their memory.

Seeing Yixue studying diligently, Lingna deliberately raised her head, wanting to show off the pigtails her father had just styled for her.

But Yixue didn't even look up, which made Lingna very frustrated and dissatisfied.

"How's my hair?" Reina sat proudly next to Yixue, determined to show off to Yixue and make her feel inferior.

Yixue ignored Lingna, who pouted and said, "Take a look!"

Yixue then raised her head, glanced at it, and said indifferently, "Oh."

This behavior is just like an adult who gets annoyed by a child and just brushes them off.

"Oh? What do you mean by that!"

Rena was a little angry, showing her little tiger teeth. She looked at Yixue, who was hanging her head and not even glancing at her, and suddenly thought of something, "She must be too beautiful. She feels inferior and pretends to be calm."

"They didn't even dare to look at me..."

Nodding to himself, "Yes, that must be it!"

Thinking of this, Rena laughed, carefree as she fantasized about some non-existent scenarios—

"I'm sorry, Rena-sama's hairstyle is just too cute and too beautiful."

It was as if I could see myself looking down at Yixue kneeling on the ground.

"If you kneel down and lick my toes, I'll have mercy and make you as beautiful as me." Rena raised her head, and a light seemed to appear behind her, making her golden twin tails shine even brighter.

Yixue prostrated herself and bowed deeply: "Lady Reina's noble toes, um, are truly a blessing I have accumulated over many lifetimes."

Feeling the sensation in her toes, Rena smiled smugly.

"Hahaha……"

Back to reality, Rena laughed until tears streamed down her face. "You silly woman, you have a moment like this too!"

Yixue felt a chill run down her spine. Seeing Lingna grinning foolishly to the side, she scoffed in disgust.

Is this guy thinking something disgusting? His laugh is so disgusting.

Hearing Yixue scoff, Rena felt even more smug and said, "How about it? Isn't my hair beautiful? If you beg me, I'll make sure you have hair like mine!"

"Hehe." Yi Xue chuckled, tilting her head with a gentle smile, and uttered these words: "Like a cockroach?"

"Cockroaches, cockroaches..."

Rena's smile froze, and she was completely stunned.

Yixue laughed, "I thought you were self-aware."

"Ugh!" Reina clenched her fists, looked at Smiling Yixue, and tossed her ponytail. "You're the cockroach!"

Yixue smiled but remained silent.

That calm and confident demeanor made Rena start to doubt her own taste. Was she really that ugly, like a cockroach?

Actually, that's not true.

Rena's twin tails are cute, but that's just something Yixue said to tease her.

Chapter Twelve: It's All Your Fault

"Ugh, Daddy, is it really that ugly!" Rena was almost crying, looking at Izuki pleadingly. She knew her father wouldn't lie to her.

Yi Yue scratched her cheek, glanced helplessly at Yi Xue, and said seriously, "Sister was just joking with you. You're very pretty, where's the ugliness?"

"Really!" Rena looked at Itsuki eagerly, blinking her eyes.

"Yeah." Yiyue smiled.

Rena finally relaxed, perked up, and laughed heartily, "I knew this guy was lying to me." She proudly raised her head, oblivious to who had just been tricked.

"Oh--"

Yixue found it amusing.

Reina glared at Yixue: "What's so funny!"

"I wasn't laughing." Yixue stopped smiling, her lips curling up slightly as if she were mocking Lingna.

"Hmm, you definitely smiled!"

"I didn't laugh."

"You laughed!"

"Then I'll laugh. Is there a problem?"

Yixue glanced indifferently at Lingna, whose face turned bright red, like a mouse being toyed with by a cat.

"Hehe." This time, Yixue laughed from the bottom of her heart. She just loved teasing Lingna.

Yi Yue listened to their argument and shook her head with amusement. She was already used to the two sisters arguing over trivial matters.

In his eyes, the harmless bickering and arguing were a sign of the sisters' good relationship.

I got up and made Rena a cup of milk.

Reina turned her face away angrily. Yixue always had to argue with her about everything. It was so annoying.

When Yixue saw Lingna's sullen expression, the corners of her mouth curled up.

Reina glanced at Yixue with disgust, stood up, picked up a chair, took a few steps away from Yixue, put the chair down, and sat down, keeping a distance from her.

Seeing Reina's childish behavior, Yixue smiled and picked up the booklet to read it.

Rena hated her composure, turned her head away, and never wanted to look at her again.

Yixue curled the corners of her mouth, put down the booklet, and seeing that Lingna had turned her head to the side, she quietly moved a chair and sat down next to Lingna.

Seeing that she hadn't noticed, Yixue picked up the booklet and pretended to read it.

"Strange, why is she so quiet? She doesn't say a word."

Rena was getting impatient. She turned her head and saw Yixue sitting very close to her, right next to her.

"Ugh! When did you get next to me?!" Rena exclaimed.

Yixue put down the booklet and looked at Lingna with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"

"Stop pretending and go back right now!" Rena shouted unhappily.

Yixue remained unmoved, looking at Lingna with a puzzled expression, as if she didn't know what had happened.

Rena pouted: "If you don't back down, I will!"

She picked up a chair, moved a few steps to the side, sat down angrily, and muttered, "How annoying."

Turning his head, he saw Yixue right beside him, calmly looking at the booklet.

"you you you……"

"What's wrong?" Yixue smiled serenely, leaving Lingna speechless with anger.

Reina picked up a chair and moved it even further than before, warning him seriously, "I'm warning you, don't come any closer, or I'll get angry!"

Yixue tilted her head and smiled at Lingna.

"Ugh...ugh..." Rena gritted her teeth in anger and turned her head to the side. She turned her head back just a second later.

Yixue trembled slightly. This time, she didn't have time to move a chair and stood there pretending to look at the booklet.

"Oh--"

Reina sneered, "Let's see how you move it now!" After saying that, she turned her head back, and two seconds later she turned her head back again. Yixue was still in the same place.

He gave Yixue a mocking glance, "Let's see what you're going to do now!"

After saying that, he turned his head back, like an innocent child playing the game of "Red Light, Green Light," and stuck his tongue out at Yixue.

Yi Xue twitched her lips, and a red tic-tac-toe mark appeared on her forehead.

When Rena turned her head away triumphantly again, and then turned it back, she didn't know when, but Yixue was sitting next to her.

"How did you..." Reina asked in surprise.
