How to raise a random guy's wife

“I think your approach is very good. Setting such a goal from the beginning can largely maintain the ability to think independently.” Kobayashi Megumi’s gentle voice makes people feel an involuntary desire to trust her. “If your goal is to enter the industry, you may gradually get used to some of the unreasonable things in the industry, and you may eventually become the kind of person you hate.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha leaned back on the sofa, "Even the best idea has to be achievable..."

"Mommy~" Lin Lan, who had just finished her afternoon nap, walked out with sleepy eyes, followed by her disheveled son, Nian Gao.

"Awake?" Kobayashi Megumi beckoned, "Come over to Mommy."

"Mmm~" Xiaolin Lan, who had just woken up, said softly as she walked towards the two of them.

She crawled on her hands and feet and snuggled into Kasumigaoka Utaha's arms.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Eh?"

Megumi Kobayashi looked at her dazed daughter in Utaha Kasumigaoka's arms with amusement.

While discussing work, Kobayashi Megumi looked at the contents of Kasumigaoka Utaha's notes and pointed to some of the records to help explain, so she and Kasumigaoka Utaha sat very close to each other.

Ran Kobayashi had just woken up. Hearing the sound, she came over and touched the soft body. She instinctively thought it was her mother, so she skillfully climbed up and leaned against Kasumigaoka Utaha's chest, cuddling her lazily.

Kasumigaoka Utaha blinked rapidly and instinctively hugged Kobayashi Ran.

Xiaolin Lan rubbed against her, then closed her eyes again, half asleep.

Kasumigaoka Utaha had hugged Kobayashi Ran before, but it was always a polite hug when Kobayashi Ran was awake. This was the first time she had hugged her like this.

Holding the tiny Ran Kobayashi in her arms, feeling the girl's unconditional trust, Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes widened, and her body stiffened.

"Hmm~" Kobayashi Ran squirmed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's arms, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared on her fair face.

It feels... a little different from what I'm used to.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and Kobayashi Ran reluctantly opened her eyes. She paused for a moment when she saw Kasumigaoka Utaha's face, then closed her eyes again. When she opened them again, she exclaimed, "Huh?"

A big question appeared on her small face, followed by obvious panic.

Ran turned her head to look around at a speed completely different from before, straining her arms as she did so, until she saw her mother's face as she tried to suppress a laugh, at which point she quieted down for a moment.

The next moment, she struggled to break free from Kasumigaoka Utaha's embrace, climbed into Kobayashi Megumi's arms, and hugged her neck tightly, "Mommy~"

"What's wrong?" Kobayashi Megumi hugged Kobayashi Ran and patted her back gently. "Don't you recognize Shiyu's mother?"

"Mmm~" Ran hugged her mother tightly for a while before turning to look at Utaha Kasumigaoka, "Utaha-mama, I missed you so much~"

Kasumigaoka Utaha: "......"

When you climbed out of my arms, I didn't sense you missing me at all.

Feeling a little nostalgic for the feeling just now, Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her arms and said, "Ranran, can I have a hug from your godmother?"

"Hmm..." Lin Lan hesitated, "But Lanlan wants to hug Mommy..."

Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, "Alright."

Xiaolin Lan blinked her big, wide eyes, no longer sleepy, and asked, "So if Lanlan wants Shiyu's mom to hold her, can Shiyu's mom hold Lanlan a little longer?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kobayashi Megumi and said, "This child is obviously your and Sora's biological child."

Chapter 624 A Similar Me

It's a bit strange, but when Kobayashi Megumi and Kobayashi Ran were together, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Kobayashi Megumi probably looked like Kobayashi Ran when she was a child.

When Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Ran were together, Kasumigaoka Utaha felt that Kobayashi Sora must have been similar to Kobayashi Ran when they were young.

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her arms, and Kobayashi Ran happily jumped into her embrace.

They're so tiny and cute, I just want to tease them.

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly thought that if she bullied Kobayashi Ran, she could enjoy the wonderful feeling of bullying Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi together.

Kasumigaoka Utaha lowered her head and gently pinched Kobayashi Ran's cheek.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi are both so powerful, it won't be so easy to bully them.

But it's far too easy to bully Xiaolin Lan.

Kasumigaoka Utaha gently pinched Kobayashi Ran's round little face, which was as soft as pudding.

Ran Kobayashi giggled, "It tickles so much~"

"..." Kasumigaoka Utaha breathed a sigh of relief. She was too cute to hurt.

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked up and saw Eriri approaching. She felt even less guilty about teasing Eriri. "Eriri, come here and let me hug you."

"Go to hell." Eriri glared at her irritably.

Eriri and Kobayashi Sora's discussion came to an end, so they went to the coffee table to eat some fruit.

After all, it would be troublesome if the original manuscript got dirty, so the fruit and drinks were all placed on the coffee table.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, holding Kobayashi Ran, looked at Kobayashi Sora, who was sitting next to Kobayashi Megumi, and asked, "Speaking of which, who do you think Ran Ran resembles more?"

"It feels more like me when I was a child..." Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi said in unison, "...more like me."

"Huh?" "Hmm?"

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised.

Eriri retorted, "Were you two the same when you were little?"

You must be joking.

Although the two are becoming more and more alike now, when we first met them, they were completely different people.

Kobayashi Megumi has an extremely good temper, while Kobayashi Sora's personality is extremely bad.

One person doesn't care about anything, while the other cares about everything.

One is fine with anything, the other will listen to me no matter what.

How could these two people be the same when they were young?

Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "Your ability to rationally weigh gains and losses is probably similar to your father's when he was a child."

Kobayashi Sora added, "In terms of gentleness and thoughtfulness, she is probably very similar to her mother when she was a child."

Xiaolin Lan raised her hand, "Then who does Lanlan resemble more?"

Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, "This is really hard to quantify. You can't compare personality by which side is more or less, or rather, you should say who you are more like most of the time?"

Kobayashi Megumi asked softly, "Whom does Lanlan feel she resembles more?"

"Who do you resemble more most of the time...?" Xiaolin Lan blinked. "Lanlan is more like rice cake."

Rice Cake: "Meow?"

Ran glanced in the direction of the rice cake and became even more certain of her thoughts, "Because Ranran usually eats, plays with toys, and sleeps, just like the rice cake!"

“Uh…” Kobayashi Sora recalled, “If we consider the timeline, it seems to be like this.”

“Then let’s look at it from another angle,” Kasumigaoka Utaha asked a new question, “Who do you hope Ranran will resemble more?”

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi both paused for a moment, then answered at the same time, but their answers were completely different.

“Dad.” That was Kobayashi Megumi’s answer.

“Mom.” That was Kobayashi Sora’s reply.

The two looked at each other, then paused in surprise.

Kobayashi Ran asked curiously, "Why?"

Kobayashi Sora answered matter-of-factly, "Wouldn't it be better to be as gentle as Mom?"

“It would be better to be more rational and resolute like Dad.” Kobayashi Megumi unusually disagreed with Kobayashi Sora’s idea.

"Alright, alright, I know you both like each other more than you like yourselves." Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha speechlessly. "Why did you even bring up this kind of question?"

I used to be fed dog food all the time, and now I'm making my own dog food. Isn't that just being idle?

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't care. She just wanted to see Eriri looking like she had her mouth stuffed full of food and couldn't spit it out. She didn't care about getting hurt herself. "Who does Ranran resemble more?"

"Don't make it look like rice cake," Kobayashi Sora reminded her, "it'll make you fat."

Nian Gao, who was eating cat food, looked up and asked, "Meow?"

“Lanlan is like her parents now,” Xiaolin Lan thought to herself, “and she can continue to be like her parents in the future.”

This was something the adults hadn't expected.

After all, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi have very different personalities.

Eriri imagined it in her mind, "If someone is like Sora and Megumi at the same time, they must be controlling, good at coercion and manipulation, have amazing insight, and be gentle, considerate and good-tempered... Do such people really exist?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at her. "Of course."

"Really?" Eriri asked incredulously. "You've seen it?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded. "Most mothers are like that, right?"

Eriri: "Huh?"

She instinctively wanted to argue, but after calming down and thinking about it...

Strong desire for control – “Listen to your mother.”

Threatening – “If you keep acting up, you won’t get dinner!”

Incentive – “Good boys get candy!”

Amazing insight—"You stole some ice cream from the fridge, didn't you?"

Needless to say, she is gentle and considerate.

There's no doubt that she has a good temper.

Mom will forgive everything.

"It seems it really is!" Eriri looked at Ran Kobayashi in surprise. "This child is capable of becoming me..."

"Wait a minute." Kobayashi Sora interrupted Eriri's about-to-come-off-the-cliché line, "You already have me as your uncle."

"I'm no longer interested in reacting to these kinds of comments..." Eriri gave Kobayashi Sora a disapproving look. "Aren't you done playing around yet?"

"Let's talk about it when you really have no reaction anymore."

"You bastard!"
