How to raise a random guy's wife

“Perhaps there are parents who know nothing about this,” the male host further explained, “The girls who appear in the anime ‘Liella! Superstar’ are actually realistically portrayed and can present songs and dances for everyone.”

"This time we also have a special anime for the Red and White Song Festival," the female host continued, "so please welcome Liella! — What a Wonderful Dream!!

"Ah, so that's the direction?" Kobayashi Megumi realized. "In terms of influence alone, they can't compare with other anime, and their songs can't compare with professional singers. But their own popularity, the special format, and the sustained popularity allow them to appear in special projects."

"That's exactly what I mean. As I just said, the anime Kouhaku Uta Gassen has been working hard for the past few years, but the response hasn't been good," Kobayashi Sora added. "If Liella! appears, their large fan base will give a very positive response."

"You have that trick too! Honey, you're amazing!"

"It's the result of everyone's hard work." Kobayashi Sora didn't take credit. "I just helped to push things forward."

“That’s still amazing.” Kobayashi Megumi thought for a moment, then realized a new problem: “They sang the whole song, and after the Kohaku Uta Gassen ends, there might be some jarring noise.”

Chapter 538 This is not good

"When the news first came out that Liella! would be performing at the Kohaku Uta Gassen, quite a few people expressed their dissatisfaction, including some public figures." Kobayashi Sora twitched the corner of her mouth. "Well, no one said it directly, it was mostly sarcastic remarks. As you said, after seeing their performance, I'm afraid there will be even more direct criticism."

To put it simply, it's a matter of comparison.

So many classic old songs were performed in a medley format, yet the five idols, who were still in college, were able to sing the entire song.

Many people cannot accept this contrast.

"But my husband will handle it, right?"

“That’s right.” Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi. “So now you can relax and enjoy it.”

Leaning against Kobayashi Sora's chest, Kobayashi Megumi felt a little dazed.

Back then, it was just the two of them, Kobayashi Sora and I, snuggling together in the kotatsu.

Now it's a family of three.

Back then, I could secretly rub my toes against Kobayashi Sora's legs, but now...

Huh?

That seems like a good option.

Kobayashi Sora was watching TV when she noticed Kobayashi Megumi's little actions. The moment she looked down, she met Kobayashi Megumi's mischievous gaze.

naughty.

Kobayashi Sora's hands moved slightly, and Kobayashi Megumi opened her lips, but then bit her lower lip to suppress the strange sound.

Bad guy.

"It's Aunt Xiangyin!" Now only Ran Kobayashi is watching TV attentively. She recognizes the five aunties she often sees on TV and waves her little hand happily.

"Hmm~" Kobayashi Megumi responded softly, "If Lanlan works hard, she can also... appear on TV like the aunties in the future."

"Lanlan is going to be on TV too!" Little Lin Lan cheered happily, and when she turned her head, she saw her mother being held by her father.

Then she decided to let her mother hug her for a while before trying to get on TV.

Xiaolin Lan moved her body and snuggled into her mother's arms, just like her mother did.

Then he waved to the rice cake.

"Rice cake, rice cake~ come here quickly."

"..." Nian Gao rolled her eyes, reluctantly got off the table, snuggled into Xiao Linlan's arms, and was held by her with a helpless expression.

I've sacrificed so much for this family.

However, the rice cake was too big, and Ran Kobayashi couldn't hold it for long.

Being young, she became sleepy after watching Liella! and quickly fell asleep in her mother's arms.

Megumi Kobayashi carried Ran Kobayashi into the room and covered her with a small blanket.

As usual, the rice cake stayed by Ran Kobayashi's side, curled up in a ball.

Kobayashi Megumi returned to the kotatsu and was immediately embraced by Kobayashi Sora.

"Gently...gently~" Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head slightly, "Lanlan just fell asleep."

"I was just holding you," Kobayashi Sora whispered in her ear. "Was I holding you too tightly?"

“Hmm…” With her cheeks puffed out slightly, Kobayashi Megumi turned her head away and ignored him.

Her snow-white nape was faintly visible through her slightly messy black hair.

Kobayashi Sora buried his head in her hair, savoring the delicate beauty with gentle kisses.

"Hmm~" Kobayashi Megumi hummed softly, "Didn't you say it was just a hug?"

"That's what I just said..." Kobayashi Sora's voice was muffled as she inhaled the fragrance of her hair.

As if all her strength had been drained away, Kobayashi Megumi was completely unable to resist Kobayashi Sora's fickle words. She could only weakly twist her soft body, expressing a powerless protest of wanting to refuse but holding back.

"No..." Kobayashi Megumi said softly, "That's not good~"

"how?"

"That's not fair." Kobayashi Megumi nestled against Kobayashi Sora's chest, slowly turning away, her soft breath lingering on his neck. "Let me kiss you too."

chirp~

A light, fleeting kiss landed on Kobayashi Sora's Adam's apple. Kobayashi Megumi, supporting his shoulders, retaliated against Kobayashi Sora's earlier offense.

This position didn't last long before her slender arms wrapped around his neck, further shortening the distance between them.

Perhaps it was the temperature of the kotatsu that made Kobayashi Megumi's face turn increasingly red.

The clothes on her body couldn't block out the heat at all, so... they were abandoned.

The distant chimes dispelled all their worries, but the two of them were completely unaware of it.

As long as we still have each other, why would we need the sound of bells to dispel our troubles?

-

After the New Year's shrine visit, the family of three visited Kobayashi's parents' house with gifts.

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Lan called out in a sweet voice, "Grandma~"

"My dear Lanlan~" Xiaolin's mother—now Xiaolin's grandmother—picked up her granddaughter with a big smile, "You've become even more beautiful."

"Hehe~" Little Lin Lan laughed happily after receiving the praise, and waved her little hand to Grandpa Lin, "Happy New Year, Grandpa~"

"Hmm." Grandpa Lin almost couldn't keep his composure, but he coughed lightly to calm down.

Now a father himself, Kobayashi Sora has a deeper understanding of her father's feelings.

Grandpa Lin's attitude was both funny and exasperating.

After a brief greeting, Grandma Kobayashi chatted with Megumi Kobayashi while coaxing Ran Kobayashi, bringing her various fruits and snacks, and listening to Ran Kobayashi's somewhat incoherent account of her kindergarten experiences.

As always, Grandpa Kobayashi chatted with Kobayashi Sora about various things to pay attention to in company management, as well as some recent trends.

However, unlike before Ran Kobayashi was born, the conversation did not take place in the study.

While speaking seriously to Kobayashi Sora about possible scenarios, Kobayashi's grandfather's attention was mostly drawn to Kobayashi Ran's ramblings.

"Liella!'s performance at the Kohaku Uta Gassen was a great success, but the greater the success, the more resistance it will face. After all, 'Liella! Superstar' is different from traditional anime, and Liella! is also different from traditional singers. Those kindergarten kids... cough, those industry insiders, they have a lot of hostility towards newcomers who are in a different field but will take over their slide... You need to be careful..."

Kobayashi Sora: "Okay."

This time, it was his turn to break down.

Why don't you listen to what Kobayashi Ran has to say first, and then we can continue our conversation?

However, these kinds of words should not be said aloud.

If he were to say it out loud, Kobayashi Sora would be taken to the study by his grandfather, who was furious with embarrassment.

However, it's not the father's fault. Even Kobayashi Sora herself spends most of her attention on her daughter.

"Ah!" Kobayashi Ran shouted, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

It turned out that she had accidentally knocked over the cup containing the drink.

Realizing she had caused trouble, Xiao Linlan pouted and began preparing to wail.

"It's alright, it's alright," Grandma Lin reassured her repeatedly. "It's nothing serious."

"Ugh..." Kobayashi Ran has started the second stage.

Kobayashi Sora spoke up, "Lanlan?"

Chapter 539 *Sobbing*

Kobayashi Kei wanted to comfort her daughter, but upon hearing Kobayashi Sora's voice, she chose to remain silent.

Although there was no explicit agreement, there was a tacit understanding between her and Kobayashi Sora.

That is, when one of them is disciplining Kobayashi Ran, the other person will not interfere.

As first-time parents, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi had little experience.

In addition, every child is different, and other people's experiences can only be used as a reference. The only truly suitable learning partners are each other.

Therefore, when others are educating their children, it is also a time for you to observe and learn.

And this is also part of education.

When Dad speaks, Mom listens attentively, and the child will listen attentively too.

When Mom speaks, Dad listens attentively, and the child will listen attentively too.

Conversely, parents will listen attentively when their children are speaking.

If the father is disciplining the child and the mother is busy comforting him, then the child will not listen to what the father is saying.

If the father contradicts the mother when she is disciplining the child, the child will not agree with the mother's teaching.

If parents ignore their child when the child is speaking, the child will think: Why should I listen attentively when the parents are speaking?

A family of three, each member of the family.

Children whose minds are not yet mature learn their attitudes toward their parents from how their fathers treat their mothers and how their mothers treat their fathers.

Lin Lan, who was about to burst into tears, stopped what she was doing when she heard her father's voice. Her eyes welled with tears as she looked at him, "Daddy..."
