How to raise a random guy's wife

“I…” Xiaolin’s father stood up, “I’ll go check the documents in the study.”

Watching Kobayashi's father leave, Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with a pleading expression.

"Are you relieved now?" Kobayashi Sora patted her small hand gently. "He was even more nervous than you, he couldn't even speak properly."

Kato Megumi glared at him, but that did make her feel much more relaxed.

“Don’t worry about him, that’s just how he is.” Kobayashi’s mother sat down on the other side of Kato Megumi. “If we’re talking about business, he can talk about it all day long without repeating himself, but when he’s talking to his family, saying a few words of heartfelt conversation is like torture for him.”

Kato Megumi discreetly and gently kneaded Kobayashi Sora's hand.

Where are my family members...?

"Cough cough!" The sound of Xiaolin's father coughing came from the study.

Xiaolin's mother turned a deaf ear, saying, "When I first met him, I was attracted by his spirited appearance. But during our date, he only said three sentences to me in a whole day."

"Which three sentences?" Kobayashi Sora was unaware of this and was very curious.

Xiaolin's mother shrugged and said, "That's fine, whatever you say."

"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Lin's father's throat was very sore.

“He’s not sick,” Xiaolin’s mother explained. “He’s trying to tell me to stop talking.”

Then you shouldn't say it out loud.

Kato Megumi: "...I understand."

"Oh, right, this is for you." Kobayashi's mother took out a red envelope and handed it to Kato Megumi.

“Kuōshō…” Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Kuōshō.

"Take it."

"Yes." Kato Megumi accepted it with both hands. "Thank you, Auntie."

"Still calling me Auntie..." Xiaolin's mother took out another red envelope, "This is for you too."

"Hmm..." Kato Megumi blushed slightly and did not accept the second one. "Thank you, Mom."

"Good boy." Kobayashi's mother stuffed the red envelope into Kato Megumi's hand. "The one before was for Sora Ao's girlfriend, and this one is for my daughter-in-law."

Kato Megumi's face turned even redder.

"Ahem." Xiao Lin's father walked out of the study as if nothing had happened, leaving behind two red envelopes.

"Kong Qing..." Four red envelopes at once, Kato Megumi was a little unsure what to do.

Kobayashi Sora took the two red envelopes and said, "Thank you, Dad."

"!!!" Xiaolin's father suddenly turned his head, his fierce gaze piercing through the lenses of his frameless glasses and locking onto Xiaolin Kongqing's vitals.

"Thank you, Dad," Kato Megumi said, linking her arm with Kobayashi Sora's.

Xiao Lin's father's gaze softened instantly, and he nodded, "Eat...drink...eat and drink well."

He turned around and went back to his study.

"That scarf is so beautiful," Kobayashi's mother said gently. "It must have taken you a long time to knit it."

"No... I'll knit a little bit in my spare time, and it'll be finished quickly."

"Your hands are so skillful, much better than the blue azurite."

Xiao Lin Kong Qing: "..."

"Kong Qing's cooking is very good." Kato Megumi subconsciously defended her.

“That’s what I think too.” Kobayashi’s mother looked at Kobayashi Sora. “So lunch is yours. I’ve prepared all the ingredients.”

Kobayashi Sora: "...Okay."

"I'll go help." Kato Megumi was about to get up when Kobayashi's mother stopped her.

"It's alright, just leave it to Kong Qing. Let's chat a bit more."

Chapter 289 I Promised

Kobayashi Sora realized she had been tricked when she started cooking in the kitchen.

If Kobayashi's mother were cooking, Kato Megumi would definitely help.

However, if Kobayashi Sora cooks, Kobayashi's mother can stop Kato Megumi and have more time to talk to her without being disturbed by Kobayashi Sora.

But there's nothing to worry about.

The parents' attitude is already very clear.

Kobayashi's mother held Kato Megumi's hand and chatted about everything from fabrics to embroidery, from kimonos to shopping malls... By the time Kobayashi Sora had prepared lunch, the two had already made plans to go shopping together in a while.

At the dinner table, Kobayashi's father remained silent, but after being glared at by Kobayashi's mother for being a picky eater and obediently eating the green peppers, Kato Megumi's last bit of tension disappeared.

"Then I'll take Hui back."

"Take the gift with you." After instructing Kobayashi Sora, Mom waved her phone at Kato Megumi, "Contact me on Line later."

“Yes,” Kato Megumi nodded gently, “Goodbye, Mom.”

She got used to calling him that more and more easily.

"Ahem." Xiao Lin's father, who had originally gone into the study, came out again.

Goodbye, Dad.

"Okay." Xiaolin's father nodded. "Be careful on the road."

After leaving home with Kato Megumi, Kobayashi Sora turned to look at the girl beside her, "How are you feeling?"

Kato Megumi honestly expressed her thoughts: "Mom is very gentle, and Dad is very cute."

"I think so too."

Kato Megumi's slender fingers slipped between Kobayashi Sora's fingers, the feeling of their intertwined fingers was exceptionally reassuring. "Hmm... it feels like I've known them for a long time, it's very easy to chat with them."

That's not wrong.

Kobayashi's parents have indeed known Kato Megumi for a long time.

Holding Kobayashi Sora's hand, Kato Megumi's steps unconsciously became lighter and lighter.

The attitude of her family members largely reflects Kobayashi Sora's attitude.

The behavior of Xiaolin's parents has already said a lot.

"What are those gifts?" Kato Megumi asked, looking at the things Kobayashi Sora was carrying.

"The cosmetics my mother gave to my mother-in-law, and the red wine my father gave to my father-in-law."

"It feels so precious."

"It's alright." Kobayashi Sora shook her head. "The important thing is the invitation."

"Eh?"

"My parents want to arrange a meeting between my parents-in-law and me so that we can get to know each other better."

"what?"

"what happened?"

Are you going to propose to me?

"..." Kobayashi Sora was taken aback. "Is it that obvious?"

"Could it be any more obvious?"

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Sora also realized, "It seems like that's about it."

Kato Megumi looked at Kobayashi Sora with her big, watery eyes, "Um... I'm only 17 years old."

"I'm not of marriageable age yet."

“So…” Kato Megumi whispered, “I can only marry you after my birthday.”

Kobayashi Sora stopped in her tracks, looking at Kato Megumi in disbelief. "You agreed?"

“Yes.” Kato Megumi tightened her grip on Kobayashi Sora’s small hand. “On the other hand, if I proposed to you, would you refuse?”

Of course not!

“So,” Kato Megumi said, her face slightly flushed, “I agree to your request.”

"Um......"

"what's wrong?"

“Something feels off,” Kobayashi Sora tilted her head. “My plan was this: on your birthday, I’d prepare a romantic scene, then take out the diamond ring, say the prepared lines, and then… well, there was a lot more to it…”

"So you're saying you've planned a lot, right?"

"Ah."

"Now the plan has been disrupted," Kato Megumi whispered. "What should we do?"

“My plans have been disrupted…” Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, “Then I’ll have to listen to you.”

"I agree."

"Wait a minute." Kobayashi Sora finally realized the crux of the problem, "I haven't proposed yet."

"Then why don't you ask?"

"Please!"

"So I agreed."

“What I mean is,” Kobayashi Sora organized her thoughts, “I’m not ready for diamond rings, fireworks, flowers, candles, fairy lights…”

"What are those used for?"

"To express my feelings?" Kobayashi Sora was somewhat uncertain.

“But… your feelings are impossible to hide.” Kato Megumi placed Kobayashi Sora’s hand close to her chest, her bright eyes filled with a gentle smile. “I’ve discovered all your love for me. Everything you want to express is in my heart.”

"Hui..." Kobayashi Sora gazed at the adorable girl so close to him. Her warm breath condensed into a cool mist in the air, casting a hazy glow on her rosy cheeks. "Will you marry me?"
