It was his newlywed wife’s birthday; he deserved at least a couple of days off to go back and celebrate with her.
Shinichi Nakamura’s eyes lit up with joy, grinning like a thirty-year-old child, "Hey! Thanks, Senior Police Director!"
In fact, he was eager to visit Tokyo every weekend, but his wife’s words made sense. If his boss Aoyama Xiu Xin didn’t return to Tokyo, it wouldn’t look good for him to go first. He had to forcibly suppress his longing.
But with his wife’s birthday approaching, he couldn’t hold back anymore and decided to return to give her a surprise.
Putting himself in her shoes, he believed her longing for him must be the same as his for her. He could endure the torment of missing her, but he couldn’t bear to let her suffer through it!
"Finish up the work you have on hand first," Aoyama Xiu Xin said before waving him off.
"Don’t worry, Senior Police Director, I definitely won’t delay the important tasks," Shinichi Nakamura bowed once more before departing.
As the son of well-known Hokkaido businessman Akimoto Jiancheng, Akimoto Hidekazu didn’t inherit his father’s business acumen or maturity. Instead, approaching thirty, he remained frivolous and conceited, indulgent in pleasures and devoid of any business achievements.
In his own words, it was because his father and elder brother had already endured all the hardships he should have faced, and taken on the responsibilities he should have carried. He was born to live a life of luxury!
The hardest thing he ever had to swallow in his life was an iced Americano.
Of course, even a waste of space can be useful. His role in the Akahone Family was that of a tool for marriage alliances and a progenitor, so he married early on.
His wife was the daughter of another businessman in Hokkaido whose status was on par with Akimoto Jiancheng’s. After marriage, the couple couldn’t be said to be loving, but they managed not to disgust each other too much.
So, Akimoto Hidekazu indulged himself even more, spreading his seeds around, gifting the Akahone Family’s excellent ’genes.’
As for Panasonic Izumi, the bona fide princess of Asahikawa City, he had long coveted her, and had always thought of having more than a friendly relationship with her, but never found the opportunity. Considering her status, he didn’t dare to be reckless.
However, tonight, he felt his ’chances’ were mighty big!
Tonight was a charity dinner organized by the mayor of Asahikawa City, Panasonic Youkang, to raise funds for orphans who lost their parents. Many high-profile socialites and reporters from Hokkaido attended, including Akimoto Hidekazu and Panasonic Izumi, who were rarely seen enjoying a conversation together.
A few jokes from Akimoto Hidekazu had Panasonic Izumi trembling with laughter, a never-ending smile on her face.
That gave him a sense of immense accomplishment and also sparked some ideas of taking things further.
After all, he knew well that for many women, as long as you can make them happy in conversation, they wouldn’t mind a spring breeze fling with you—not in pursuit of anything, just for the sake of feeling good.
Moreover, as far as he knew, Panasonic Izumi was not some paragon of virtue; he heard she’d been played by Aoyama Xiu Xin several times recently. If some outsider could get her, there was no reason he couldn’t, right?
"Giggle~ Mr. Akimoto, I never realized how humorous you are before," laughed Panasonic Izumi with her mouth wide open, revealing the glowing, hefty ’conscience’ beneath her dress, swaying gently and dazzling Akimoto Hidekazu.
His throat bobbed as he swallowed, struggling to suppress his excitement and eagerness before he said with a laugh, "It’s a pity, Miss Izumi, because you’ve never given me the chance to get to know you better."
"And how much deeper would you like to go?" asked Panasonic Izumi, staring at him with a meaningful smile.
Upon hearing such an obvious flirtation, Akimoto Hidekazu’s face flushed with excitement, and he took a step closer to Panasonic Izumi, whispering, "The deeper, the better, of course."
"Heh, easy for you to say, but do you have the ’size’ for it?" teased Panasonic Izumi playfully.
Akimoto Hidekazu breathed rapidly, "Shall we try?"
Panasonic Izumi gave a seductive smile and tossed her hair as she turned toward the restroom, glancing back at Akimoto Hidekazu after a few steps, then continued on.
Akimoto Hidekazu, an old hand in romantic escapades, understood what this meant all too well. Although wary of making a move in such a setting, in the end, Little Head Dad dictated Big Head Son’s actions, and he bit the bullet and hurriedly followed.
If she wasn’t afraid, what did he have to fear?
The event was crowded, everyone busy maintaining their own social circles, and no one noticed them.
Along with a sharp cry of anger, Panasonic Izumi ran out of the restroom in panic, her dress slipping off one shoulder, covering her chest with her hands, her hair in disarray, and her face awash with shock, anger, and betrayal.
"Miss Izumi! Miss Izumi!"
Akimoto Hidekazu chased after her in confusion, only having just entered the restroom and Panasonic Izumi began to undress willingly, but then she slapped him and ran out; he had no idea what had happened and followed on instinct.
It wasn’t until he arrived at the banquet hall and saw all the guests staring at them that he suddenly cooled down, standing still, feeling like a bucket of cold water had drenched him from head to toe, chilling to the bone.
"Izumi, what happened!" Panasonic Youkang walked quickly toward his daughter with a grave expression, swiftly removing his jacket to drape it over her.
"Dad!" With eyes teary, Panasonic Izumi buried herself into her father’s arms, sobbing heavily, her voice choked as she loudly accused, "Akimoto Hidekazu tried to assault me!"
The moment those words were spoken, the whole room exploded with shock.
Though many had already guessed as much when they witnessed the scene, hearing the words from Panasonic Izumi’s mouth still sent shockwaves.
"Idiot! How could he dare!"
"Disgusting, to do such a thing in this kind of setting. What kind of father is Akimoto Jiancheng to raise a son like that."
