How to raise a random guy's wife

"Oh ho ho ho~" Ran Kobayashi let out a laugh like a young lady from a wealthy family. "Ranran is... the young lady of that academy~"

Kobayashi Sora picked up the shopping bag and asked, "Would the young lady like some pudding?"

Ran Kobayashi immediately replied, "Yes!"

"No, you've already eaten." Kobayashi Megumi smiled at her daughter. "A well-mannered young lady should know how to restrain herself, right?"

"Oh well, there's no other way." Ran Kobayashi's expression stiffened, and she tried to put on an elegant smile, but her beautiful eyes were uncontrollably fixed on the shopping bag. "Then I'll just put it in the refrigerator for now, and I'll enjoy it when the time is right."

"Okay~" Kobayashi Sora put the groceries she bought into the refrigerator. "By the way, is this how you feel, Miss?"

"She thinks that feeling is enough." Kobayashi Megumi glanced sideways. "Oh, Miss?"

"What's wrong?" Xiaolin Lan drawled, "My dear mother?"

“I see a mess of toys,” Kobayashi Megumi pointed to Kobayashi Ran’s play area. “It looks so messy. It’s so nice to have everything so neat and tidy, Miss Kobayashi.”

"Ah... Oh well, there's no other way~" Kobayashi Ran was clearly a little guilty. "Although it's not my toy, I really can't stand it, so I'll tidy it up."

Since it was her own toy, Xiaolin Lan tidied it up easily, and in no time, the somewhat messy play area became much tidier.

"Amazing!" Kobayashi Sora praised. "No wonder she's the young lady!"

"Well, don't worry about it." Kobayashi Ran waved her hand lightly. "After all, I'm the young lady."

“Oh my, young lady.” Kobayashi Megumi pointed to Kobayashi Ran’s room, “There’s a room here with clothes piled up everywhere. It doesn’t look like a young lady’s room at all.”

"Ah...oh well, there's no way around it~" Ran Kobayashi immediately started tidying up, folding the clothes and putting them in the closet.

"Amazing!" Kobayashi Sora exclaimed. "No wonder she's the young lady!"

"Well~" Kobayashi Ran cutely raised her chin, "It's easy for the young lady."

Kobayashi Sora thought that Kobayashi Ran would get tired of it soon, but to her surprise, Kobayashi Ran was still acting like a young lady during dinner.

"Oh dear~" Kobayashi Megumi looked at the remaining vegetables on Kobayashi Ran's plate. "There's so much left. Is she a picky eater? The young lady shouldn't be a picky eater, right?"

"Ah...oh well, there's nothing I can do about it~" Kobayashi Ran maintained her elegant expression, "This young lady just wanted to save it for later."

"She actually ate all the vegetables! That's amazing!" Kobayashi Sora exclaimed. "No wonder she's the young lady!"

Ran Kobayashi replied listlessly, "Well, it's alright..."

After dinner, Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Ran watched anime about young ladies, which depicted the aristocratic school life of young ladies.

The music is exquisite and the art style is beautiful; no wonder Ran Kobayashi likes it.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Ran tilted her head back in Kobayashi Sora's arms, "Why does it feel a little different?"

“Although they are both young ladies, they have grown up and are in high school,” Kobayashi Sora found a reason, “Ranran is still young, so it’s different.”

"Then..." Xiaolin Lan's eyes lit up, "Lanlan is now the high school's princess!"

Kobayashi Megumi approached, "Is it time for Miss to brush her teeth now?"

"Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it~" Kobayashi Ran covered her mouth and chuckled, "This young lady is a high school girl, it's not my time to brush my teeth now."

"Huh?" The method that had been working so well suddenly stopped working. Kobayashi Megumi silently turned to look at Kobayashi Sora, who was holding her. "Dad?"

“Hmm…” Kobayashi Sora thought for a moment, “But a high school girl can’t act like this.”

"Eh?" Ran Kobayashi grabbed the hem of Sora Kobayashi's clothes. "Is it not allowed?"

"Because they're adults."

"Hmm..." Xiao Linlan struggled for a moment, "Then Lanlan will go brush her teeth, Daddy will wait for Lanlan."

"Mmm~" Xiaolin Lan obediently went to brush her teeth.

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi gently pinched Kobayashi Sora's cheek, "You were perfectly fine before."

Kobayashi Sora pulled his wife into his arms. "Isn't everything alright now?"

"Stop it... Ugh!" After a while, Kobayashi Megumi pushed Kobayashi Sora away and complained softly, "What if the child sees this...?"

"I saw it!" Lanlan exclaimed incredulously after brushing her teeth. "Even adults act cute!"

Kobayashi Megumi blushed. Had they been kissing for that long?

She clearly felt that the kiss only lasted a short while.

Kobayashi Megumi gently patted Kobayashi Sora, "It's all your fault."

“It’s alright, this is just how adults act cute.” Kobayashi Sora chuckled, hugging his wife and looking at their daughter. “It’s like how adults and children both brush their teeth on time, but use different toothbrushes. Adults and children can both act cute, but in different ways.”

"Huh?" Ran Kobayashi recalled.

What Dad just said is true; you shouldn't act like that when you're being affectionate.

But you can act cute like this.

Which one is it?

Mom's arms were wrapped around Dad's neck, and Dad's hands were around Mom's waist.

Xiaolin Lan understood: children are held, while adults hug each other.

"Oh my~" Kobayashi Ran's eyes lit up at the same point. "There's no other way, then let this high school girl act cute!"

"Okay." Kobayashi Megumi stood up and watched her daughter rush into her husband's arms, struggling to reach Kobayashi Sora's neck with her arm.

However, due to the height restriction, once she puts her arms around Kobayashi Sora's neck, Kobayashi Ran can no longer sit in Kobayashi Sora's lap as before; she can only stand.

"It's definitely an adult's way of being cute; kids can't use it." Xiaolin Lan sighed elegantly, rationally giving up on this way of being cute. "There's no way around it; it's still happier to be a child."

Kobayashi Sora laughed. He only understood this principle more than a decade late, while Kobayashi Ran realized it now.

Suddenly, Xiaolin Lan had an idea. "Mom, are there any ways to act cute that both adults and children can use?"

"Hmm... there is one," Kobayashi Megumi instructed, "Ranran can rest her head on Daddy's lap."

Ran Kobayashi rested her head on Sora Kobayashi's lap, feeling great lying down. "This is very comfortable too!"

She waved happily to Kobayashi Megumi, "Mommy, come quick, so we can both be affectionate with Daddy together."

Chapter 634 It really is hot

"What is this?" Ran Kobayashi asked, pointing to a picture in the book.

“This is a cheetah,” Kobayashi Megumi replied. “It’s a feline, just like mochi.”

"Is this one too?"

"This is a sheep."

"What about this one?"

“Oh, this…” Kobayashi Megumi patiently responded to each one.

“I have a good idea,” Kobayashi Sora said. “Let’s go to the zoo tomorrow.”

"Huh?" Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head, pondering the job description. "It doesn't seem like it's a bad idea."

Xiaolin Ran asked curiously, "The zoo?"

"It's a place with lots of animals," Kobayashi Megumi said, pointing to the animal encyclopedia Kobayashi Ran was looking at. "You can see most of the animals in the book."

"It's the place Grandma took me to!" Lin Lan exclaimed. "The zoo is amazing!"

“Hmm,” Kobayashi Sora looked up suitable zoos, “we’ll drive there tomorrow.”

"Riding in the car is great!"

Megumi Kobayashi checks the refrigerator. "Take a bento box with you."

"The bento box is great!"

"Since we're going to the zoo tomorrow, we should get some rest and be well-rested today." Kobayashi Sora stroked her daughter's hair. "Go brush your teeth."

"Brushing your teeth is good... um..." Xiaolin Lan hesitated for a moment, "Brushing your teeth is great too!"

With anticipation for tomorrow, Kobayashi Ran finished washing up and went to her room to sleep.

Kobayashi Sora and Kobayashi Megumi snuggled together on the bed. Kobayashi Megumi gently rubbed Kobayashi Sora's lips with her fingers, saying, "Just spoil her."

Grandma Kobayashi had taken Ran Kobayashi to the zoo before, and Ran kept pointing at the animal pictures and asking questions, clearly wanting to go again.

"It's good to go out and see more animals; there's a difference between photos and real animals."

“That’s not what I meant,” Kobayashi Megumi said with some concern. “She didn’t say it, but you already understand what she’s thinking. What will she think when she grows up? Will she believe that she doesn’t need to say anything for others to understand her?”

“This is indeed a problem,” Kobayashi Sora realized the seriousness of the issue. “Sometimes it’s necessary to express your thoughts directly—so should we pretend to be a little slow on the uptake?”

"But you can't be too slow to notice," Kobayashi Megumi reminded her. "Otherwise, Lanlan will feel that her parents don't care about her."

Kobayashi Sora sighed, "There really are a lot to consider when educating children."

“Daddy has done a great job.” Kobayashi Megumi twisted her body slightly. “The kindergarten teachers all praised Ranlan for being smart and well-behaved.”

"Mom did an even better job." Kobayashi Sora hugged his wife's slender waist as she swayed back and forth, and kissed her slightly upturned lips.

"Hoo~" Kobayashi Megumi exhaled warm breath, her face flushed, "and then suddenly she kissed me..."

"Huh?" Kobayashi Sora tightened her arms around her slightly. "You were the one who started twisting first."

"I was just twisting, it's not like I wanted a kiss." Kobayashi Megumi twisted twice more in protest, "You're the one who's trying to bully me."

“Yes, I admit it.” Kobayashi Sora lowered his head and kissed his wife’s neck.

Thump, thump thump.

A knock on the door suddenly broke the couple's intimacy.

Kobayashi Megumi sat up. "Ranran?"

The door opened, and Lin Lan, looking excited and not sleepy at all, exclaimed, "Mom, let's go now!"

“The animals need to sleep at night too,” Kobayashi Megumi waved to her daughter. “So we can only leave tomorrow morning.”

"Then..." Xiao Linlan came to the bedside, looked at her parents, and blinked her eyes.

Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep..."

"I see," Kobayashi asked knowingly, "What should we do?"
