章 162: Chapter 162 : A Takigawa, Not A Matsumoto (2)

"Oh... I..."

Akiyama's face was bright red.

"Excuse me, Midori-san. Let's talk again later."

"Wait, Akiyama-san!"

Midori wanted to chase after Akiyama, but Kiyoshi pulled at her free wrist.

"I am amazed," he said, his words no different from icy barbs, all of them directed at Midori. "Initially, I wanted to apologize for my harsh words the last time we met. I didn't expect you to move on so quickly."

Midori pulled her wrist free from Kiyoshi's grip and shot him a burning glare in retaliation.

"Don't make me out to be the villain here. You are the one who got betrothed to Akiko within days after our relationship ended. Oh, congratulations, by the way, forgive me for not sending flowers."

Kiyoshi paused for a moment before he threw his head back in exasperation.

"You know very well that it is a political marriage, nothing more."

Midori rolled with her eyes dramatically.
