How to raise a random guy's wife

“If that guy finds out, he’ll definitely keep asking you questions no matter what,” Sawamura Sayuri said with a helpless expression. “To avoid an awkward situation where everyone except him feels uncomfortable, it’s better if I talk to him about your matter alone.”

"Thank you for your hard work, Mother-in-law."

"You!" Eriri pinched Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka Utaha was taken aback. "Why did they start fighting?"

"You're allowed to talk, but I'm not allowed to do it?" Eriri retorted confidently.

"If you make a move, I'll make a move too."

"you......"

“Ahem,” Sayuri Sawamura coughed lightly twice, “If you guys keep making a fuss, I’m going to join in.”

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri immediately quieted down.

"Hmm..." Kobayashi Megumi quickly tidied up the manuscript she had just finished reading, then looked up at Sagara Mayu, who had been waiting for a long time. "Is this all?"

"That's all for now..." Mayu Sagara said somewhat nervously, "How is it?"

Standing behind Kobayashi Megumi, Kobayashi Sora spoke up, "Haven't you shown it to Akane-nee yet?"

"Well, I'd like to show it to you first, since it was your idea that came to me."

“Mayu,” Kobayashi Megumi said gently, “we’ve been working together for almost nine years now.”

“Really?” Mayu Sagara thought for a moment, “It started back in high school.”

"We believe in your abilities, and you've proven them. We've been working together for so long, so there's no need to be so nervous," Kobayashi Megumi chuckled. "Or do you think we're the kind of particularly vicious people?"

“Of course not…” Mayu Sagara relaxed a little. “It’s mainly because I used to make all the decisions about my creations, but this time it was your idea, and I don’t know if what I draw will meet your expectations.”

Mayu Sagara really loves the theme of this story.

It was precisely because she loved the story that she didn't want to waste it due to her own lack of ability.

“Our hopes…” Kobayashi Megumi leaned back. “Dad, what are our hopes?”

"The first chapter went viral, dominating the trending topics, propelling RER Manga Network to surpass JUMP, then it was adapted into an anime, the DVDs sold out, the figurines made a fortune, a theatrical version was released, an art book was published..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Mayu Sagara interrupted Sora Kobayashi, "That's impossible!"

"So your initial goal was wrong," Kobayashi Megumi pointed out. "What you should be doing is not meeting our expectations for manga revenue, but meeting the readers' expectations for a good manga."

"The readers' expectations..." Mayu Sagara murmured softly, a glimmer of light gradually appearing in her eyes. "I understand! I'm sorry, there are still many parts that need to be revised..."

She picked up the original painting and turned to leave.

"Mayu," Kobayashi Megumi called out.

Mayu Sagara paused, "Hmm?"

"Thank you for turning my random thoughts into a comic that I can hold in my hands and read. Without you, my thoughts would just exist in my head." Kobayashi Megumi looked at Sagara Mayu with gentle eyes. "I like my thoughts, but I like your comic even more."

My... comic.

Sagara Mayu nodded vigorously and left the office with a radiant expression.

“Honestly,” Kobayashi Sora said, skillfully reaching out to massage Kobayashi Megumi’s shoulders, “after hearing what you said, even someone like me who can’t draw wants to start drawing—Mom is amazing.”

How amazing is it?

"Hmm~~~" Kobayashi Sora drew out, "This is really hard to describe."

"As capable as you are at home?"

Kobayashi Sora paused in her hand movements. "You can describe it like that?"

"Of course you can~" Kobayashi Megumi chuckled, "Especially in the kitchen, you can quickly make a lot of delicious dishes, you're really amazing."

"Cooking..."

“I’m even better at doing other things…” Kobayashi Keiko blinked her watery eyes. “Like ice cream.”

Chapter 943 Healthy Daily Routine

"The ice cream you're talking about..." Kobayashi Sora continued massaging Kobayashi Megumi's shoulders, her thoughts gradually becoming more active, "Is it the same kind of ice cream I'm thinking about?"

Kobayashi Megumi swung her legs and said in a light voice, "They're all great!"

Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi from behind, saying, "I'll make it for you when we get home."

"Hmm...which one should I get?"

Two kinds.

“H.” Kobayashi Megumi pushed Kobayashi Sora’s hand away and stood up. “Come here.”

"Ok?"

Kobayashi Megumi pressed Kobayashi Sora into a chair, saying, "Sit down properly."

Kobayashi Sora sat obediently, and Kobayashi Megumi adjusted his legs, smoothed his skirt, sat on his lap, took his hand, and nestled into his arms, murmuring, "Mmm~~~"

Kobayashi Megumi squinted her eyes happily. Without the back of the chair to block the view, Kobayashi Sora's embrace felt even warmer. "It's still more comfortable to hug like this."

Kobayashi Sora inhaled the delicate fragrance of Kobayashi Megumi's hair; his wife in his arms smelled sweet and soft, carrying a reassuring scent. "I feel the same way."

“Right~” Kobayashi Megumi twisted slightly, skillfully finding the most comfortable position in Kobayashi Sora’s arms.

Kobayashi Sora laughed, "Mom has started using Lanlan's catchphrase now too."

“Dad is the same.” Kobayashi Megumi nuzzled against Kobayashi Sora’s neck like a kitten. “I wonder how Shiyu is doing.”

"There shouldn't be any problem," Kobayashi Sora guessed. "After all, they've lived together for so long, and Eriri was the one who took the initiative first."

"I didn't expect Eriri to make the first move," Kobayashi Megumi said nostalgically. "Everyone has changed a lot."

If it were the Eriri of the past, with her tsundere personality, she would never have taken the initiative.

However, having lived with Kasumigaoka Utaha for a long time, he has inevitably been influenced by her and is now beginning to learn to seize opportunities and act boldly.

Kobayashi Sora whispered in Kobayashi Megumi's ear, "Shiyu is the same. If it were the old her, she would probably have given all sorts of hints and teasing, and would never have directly expressed her feelings in the end."

"Don't blow on me~" Kobayashi Megumi said softly, "Shiha knows Eriri's personality too well. She knows how much courage Eriri took to kiss her, so she returned the favor with the same courage."

“Yes.” Kobayashi Sora’s lips curled up. “Now that I think about it, it took a lot of courage for you to kiss me back then.”

"Mmm~" Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head slightly, her cherry lips slightly upturned, and Kobayashi Sora kissed her lovely lips in response.

Her fair neck appeared even longer as Kobayashi Megumi tilted her head back.

As they kissed, Kobayashi Megumi changed her position in Kobayashi Sora's arms, sitting sideways on his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Hoo~" Kobayashi Megumi slowly exhaled a sweet breath and gently touched Kobayashi Sora's cheek with the tip of her nose. "Actually, I didn't have much courage back then."

"Eh?"

“Because I know you really like me.” Her fair fingertips traced the contours of Kobayashi Sora’s face, and Kobayashi Megumi’s eyes were dreamy. “You’re so cute, liking me so cautiously. So rather than saying I mustered up the courage to kiss you, it’s more like… I put in a lot of effort to hold back from kissing you sooner.”

"Let's talk about it." Kobayashi Sora hugged Kobayashi Megumi tightly. "Could you say things like that at home next time?"

It's inconvenient to do many things in the office.

"Hmm~ No good." Kobayashi Megumi revealed a mischievous smile, "I endured it for so long back then, now it's your turn to endure it."

"If I can't express it with actions..." Kobayashi Sora brought her lips close to Kobayashi Megumi's warm, jade-like ear, "I love you."

"Well......"

"I love hearing you tell me all the little things about how much you love me, I love the warmth of your embrace, I love the feeling of you leaning against me. I've loved it since the first time we met in the mall, and it's only grown stronger with time..."

"You~" Kobayashi Megumi blushed, "Don't say that."

"But I can't help it."

“We’ll talk about it when we get home…” Kobayashi Megumi’s eyes flickered. “When we get home, I want to hear you tell me everything, one sentence at a time.”

"One at a time?"

"Just... once, once..." Kobayashi Megumi whispered, "like this..."

"Sigh~"

"Shh—~" Kobayashi Megumi reminded, "Don't make any strange noises."

"I...tried my best..."

A slight vibration sounded, and Kobayashi Megumi let go of her hand, picked up her phone, turned on the screen, and showed the content to Kobayashi Sora: "Shiyu said she's taking the afternoon off to go to the amusement park with Eriri."

"It worked as expected."

"That's so nice." Kobayashi Megumi gently bit her lower lip. "Darling~"

"Ok?"

"How about we rest this afternoon too?" Kobayashi Megumi blinked. "Let's get some rest before Ranlan gets out of school..."

Kobayashi Sora's answer was simple.

He picked up Kobayashi Megumi directly.

"Put me down~" Kobayashi Megumi said helplessly, gently shaking her legs.

How could I let Kobayashi Sora carry me out like that?

......

"You've worked hard," Kobayashi Megumi whispered in Kobayashi Sora's ear. "I'd like to work even harder, darling."

Kobayashi Sora held Kobayashi Megumi in one arm, reached out with the other hand to pick up the water glass with a straw from the bedside table, and held it to Kobayashi Megumi's lips.

"Aww~" Kobayashi Megumi brushed the strands of hair that were wet with sweat and stuck to her face back, tilted her head slightly, took a sip of water through the straw, and let out a satisfied sigh. "You should have some too."

To avoid spilling water on the bed, Kobayashi Sora shifted slightly and sat up a little. He noticed his wife staring at him as he drank water and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... I suddenly remembered that it used to be more convenient."

"Before?" Kobayashi Sora didn't react for a moment.

“It was when Lanlan was still little,” Kobayashi Megumi said with a warm smile, “Back then, I only needed water to drink by myself.”

"Hmm...hmm?" Kobayashi Sora's eyes flickered...
