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

Reina looked at Makise with a resentful expression.

stare……

But it was no use; Makise wasn't Itsuki, and she wasn't buying it at all.

Rena immediately changed tactics and pleaded, "Mom, please, let me sleep a little longer, just a little longer."

Makise smiled and said, "No."

"Ugh!" Rena rolled around on the bed when she realized this wasn't working. "I won't get up! I won't get up!"

Makise kept smiling and quietly watched Rena roll around.

Almost a minute later, Rena stopped rolling around and lay down on the bed, feeling a little tired.

"Why did you stop shouting?" Makise asked with interest.

Rena said, slightly out of breath, "I'm tired."

Makise was amused by Rena and reached out to pull her up: "Get up, let's go for a run with Mom."

Rena whispered, "At least eat before you go." She glanced at the alarm clock and exclaimed, "It's only six o'clock! Isn't that too early!"

"The early bird catches the worm," Makise said. "Haven't you heard these sayings before?"

"Hmph, I've only ever heard of the early bird getting the worm," Rena retorted quipped.

"So are you a bird or an insect?" Makise asked.

“I am nothing, I am a human being!” Rena snorted.

Makise gently tapped Rena's forehead with his finger and said with a smile, "I think it's a bug, a big lazy bug."

Makise said, "Alright, get up. All you do is eat and never exercise. What if you get fat like a little pig?" She straightened up, her loose sportswear unable to hide her good figure and vibrant energy. "Besides, do you know how many benefits exercise has?"

"What good could come of this..." Rena whispered, having no other choice but to get up. She said resentfully, "I'm really scared of you."

“That’s more like it,” Makise said, waiting for Rena to change her clothes so they could go for a run together.

……

In Yixue's room, Yixue put the jump rope in the drawer, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and went out.

She has a habit of exercising every morning after waking up. She jumps rope and does sit-ups, among other things.

I ran into Makise Rena as I went out.

Makise said, "Yixue, want to go for a run together?"

"No need," Yixue said with a smile. "I don't really like sports."

“Staying at home all day isn’t good for your health. Go out and get some exercise,” Makise advised, but Iyuki just smiled and shook her head.

Makise didn't insist.

Downstairs, in the kitchen, Yi Yue was making breakfast.

Rena said unwillingly, "Won't Daddy run with us?" She wanted to drag Itsuki into it too.

"Hey, do I have to go too?" Yi Yue stopped cooking.

Makise smiled and said, "No need, you can go about your business." Then, somewhat annoyed, she said to Rena, "Dad's gone. Are you hungry after your run?"

Rena was about to say something, but Makise pulled her out, not giving her a chance to speak.

Seeing that Makise and the others had left, Yixue went to the kitchen.

Yi Yue asked curiously, "Yi Xue, didn't you go for a run with Mom?"

"No, I don't really like running," Yi Xue said, walking over to Yi Yue's side and obediently helping her.

"That won't do. Staying at home is bad for your health. You should go out more often and get some exercise," Yi Yue said.

Yixue said, "Hmm." After a while, she asked, "Dad, do you have any books for the first year of high school?"

"Is it for a year ahead?" Yi Yue thought for a moment and said, "I can help you borrow it. My books are too old, they're different from the ones now."

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Dad," Yixue said.

Yi Yue sighed, "Don't overwork yourself. Relax this summer and don't think about studying."

Yi Xue smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just borrowed it to take a look and learn a bit."

Looking at Yixue's smile, Yiyue didn't know what to say. Yixue was too sensible, too well-behaved. Yiyue felt she was working too hard.

I'm about to enter high school, and this summer vacation is hard-won. I should take a good rest and relax.

Such efforts made Yi Yue very uneasy.

Yixue smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry about me. Starting to study now will definitely make things much easier when I'm actually studying."

“That’s true.” Yi Yue forced a smile.

……

At noon, Yiyue changed her clothes.

Makise asked curiously, "Are you going out, Tsuki?"

“Yes, I borrowed books from friends at school,” Yi Yue said.

"What books do you want to borrow? Books for the first year of high school?" Makise could guess it at a glance.

“Yes.” Yi Yue nodded.

Makise said, "It's still summer vacation. Next year you'll be in high school, and then you won't have time to rest. You should cherish this time. Didn't you tell her?"

"I did," Yi Yue said. "Yi Xue has her own ideas, which is not a bad thing. Parents should support her."

Makise sighed, "Yixue is indeed very sensible. When will Rena be sensible enough to ask you for next semester's books?" He added, "Sigh, I guess that's impossible."

“Don’t say that. Reina is very sensible, she’s just a little playful. Which child isn’t playful these days?” Yiyue said, thinking of Yixue, “I wish Yixue could be like Reina, even if she’s even more immature than Reina.”

If Yixue were to act capriciously and throw a tantrum, Yiyue would be somewhat better off. But Yixue's sensible nature makes Yiyue unsure how to make amends. The more sensible Yixue is, the more distressed she feels; the more obedient she is, the more she wants to compensate Yixue.

Chapter 119 My Beloved Daughter

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when Yi Yue returned home. She was carrying several bags, which contained meat and vegetables she had bought from the supermarket.

Yi Yue went to borrow books from her old school friends, exchanged a few pleasantries, and on her way home, she passed by a supermarket and bought some ingredients for dinner that night.

The vegetables in the refrigerator are getting a little stale; it's better to buy fresh vegetables.

Yi Yue put the vegetables aside, took the bag containing high school textbooks, and went into Yi Xue's room.

Yixue's room door was open, a fan was running, and the window was slightly ajar, letting in the red glow of the maple leaves through the screen, which shone on Yixue's hands. Yixue was reading a book at the table.

Yi Yue gently knocked on the door and whispered, "Yi Xue."

"Dad?" Yixue put down her book and turned around.

Yi Yue stepped forward and handed the bag to Yi Xue: "These are high school textbooks. I borrowed them from my friends at school at noon. Take good care of them, they still need them."

"Yes, thank you, Dad," Yixue said with a smile.

Looking at Yixue's obedient smile, Yiyue hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Don't overwork yourself."

"Mmm." Yixue nodded, tugging at Yiyue's clothes, and said, "Daddy, I'm so hungry."

"I'll go cook right away," Yi Yue said quickly. "Is there anything you particularly want to eat?"

"I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs and lychee pork," Yixue said hesitantly. "Won't it be too much trouble to make?"

These two dishes are not only troublesome to make, but the pots are also difficult to clean.

"No, no," Yi Yue laughed. "I also quite like these two dishes. Yi Xue, you like sweet things just like me."

When Yi Yue said that she was just like him, Yi Xue's smile became even brighter, and her face flushed slightly as she said, "Yes, because I am Daddy's good daughter."

"Ah..." Yi Yue felt that Yi Xue's words were strange, and her expression was also a bit off. It all sounded a bit awkward.

It must be a misperception. Yixue probably meant that I am my father's daughter, so we have some similar habits.

Yi Yue thought to herself, and said, "Then I'll go cook first."

"Mmm!" Yi Xue smiled happily. After Yi Yue walked away, Yi Xue slowly lowered her head, her face becoming increasingly flushed, and she breathed heavily: "Hehe, just like Daddy. I am Daddy's good daughter."

……

The meal was quickly prepared, and the family sat down at the table to eat.

"Yixue, here's your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." Yiyue put a piece of pork rib in Yixue's bowl.

"Thank you, Dad," Yixue said. "You eat too, Dad." She picked up a piece of lychee flesh for Yiyue.

Reina complained, "Dad, I want to eat ribs too." Izumi had already served Yixue ribs and lychee meat many times, and they were almost all gone.

Why does everyone get food for Yixue but not for me? Reina was very dissatisfied, pouting and looking at Yiyue with resentment.

Makise said, "Cut it yourself! Don't always ask Dad for everything."

Makise also harbored resentment, and with a hint of sarcasm in his words, he gave Izuki a reproachful look.

Yi Yue smiled awkwardly, while Yi Xue ate her meal with a smile.

Rena said unwillingly, "Why should I? Dad helps Yixue pick things up, but he can't help me?"

Izuki's expression grew increasingly awkward. She added a piece of pork rib to Rena's plate and said, "Eat up."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Reina glanced at Yixue smugly.

Makise glared at Izuki with annoyance.

"Let's eat, let's eat," Yi Yue said awkwardly.

Makise, feeling jealous, whispered in Itsuki's ear, mimicking Reina's tone, "Daddy, I want to eat ribs too."

"Ugh, cough cough," Yi Yue choked, her face turning red.

Yixue asked with concern, "Is Dad alright?"

"It's nothing." Yi Yue recovered, and the blush on her face faded considerably.

"Eat slowly, don't choke," Yixue said. "Have a sip of soup."
