Chapter 366: The same inside and out

Sakai Rie extended her right palm towards Kishimoto Masayoshi and said, “Where is my gift?”

Masayoshi Kishimoto froze for a moment, then instantly snapped back to his senses and said, “Forgot it.”

Sakai Rie’s mouth turned up as she said, “You say you love me, but you forgot to buy me a gift. In the past, you would always buy me gifts on business trips.”

“In the past, we weren’t familiar, that’s why we were polite. Nowadays, we are all family. Some of these clich茅s can be dispensed with.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with vigor.

“Who’s family with you? Don’t talk nonsense.” Rie Sakai mouthed off.

“We’re bonded enough that there’s absolutely no need for any gifts. Besides, why make it as fake as a teenage idol show?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a harmless smile.

“Hehe …… why do I get the feeling that you can’t be bothered to spend more effort on me after you’ve chased me into your hands? If I had known that you were like this, I shouldn’t have let you chase me so easily.

Don’t forget, I haven’t finally agreed to marry you yet!” Sakai Rie’s right index finger was poking his chest and said.

“You’re definitely saying that with a complete lack of conscience. I’ve been chasing you for more than three years, and that’s still called getting you easily? Shouldn’t I have chased you for a decade or eight years before I could do that!” Masayoshi Kishimoto cried and laughed.

Sakai Rie shrugged her shoulders a little, showing a face full of indifference and said, “That’s fine too.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto smacked his right palm on his forehead with a loud bang and said, “I ask myself, I don’t have that kind of perseverance.”

“I knew you couldn’t stand the test. You’ve said what’s in your heart!” Sakai Rie instantly changed her face and once again poked his chest with her right index finger.

“I can’t stand the test? How else am I going to be tested? Don’t forget. I’ve been chasing you for more than three years before I succeeded.

If you go out and casually ask around, how many other men can be as persistent as me? Not to mention three years, most of them will stop chasing after three months if they can’t get their hands on you.

Do you really understand what one hundred percent love is? The first ninety-nine points are made by the boy, that is in the full demonstration of his love, respect and sincerity for a girl.

That last point is something that needs to be accomplished by the girl hand in hand with the guy who’s chasing her.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a straight face.

Rie Sakai blinked twice at him and said, “How many girls have you said that to? Were they all touched by you?”

“Do you know what your current behavior is called? You are the most typical person who is in the middle of a honey pot but doesn’t know what sweetness is.

Those women who don’t deserve my sincere devotion, I will at most spend three days on them. After three days, those who still pretend in front of me, I won’t play with her anymore.

I’ve spent more than three years with you. Could it be that, while I moved heaven and earth, I just couldn’t move you?” Justice Kishimoto laughed bitterly.

“I haven’t been pretending in front of you all this time. What I was in the past is still what I am now. Even in the future, as usual, I will be so on the surface.

When you talk about it, how come you put all the blame on me? Did I ask you to chase me? It’s your voluntary behavior.

Besides, you’re such a womanizer, you make me feel insecure. I told you a long time ago, I’m in love for life.

I either don’t fall in love or once I fall in love with someone, it’s for life. Unless, of course, he breaks my heart completely.” Sakai Rie said in a serious manner.

Masayoshi Kishimoto knew deep down that her words were definitely not just words in front of herself. If he hadn’t seen through that Sakai Rie was the kind of woman that she herself said she was, he would never have spent more than three years of his life on her.

Money was nothing to him. The main thing was that he had put in patience, thought, energy, etc., for no other reason than to find a good wife.

Even an ordinary man will make a comprehensive consideration of his own property. In the event of a divorce, the worst thing that can happen is not just an equal division of property.

In Japan, whenever a couple divorces, not only do they have to divide the existing property equally, but they also have to pay an additional monthly alimony to the ex-wife. As long as she doesn’t remarry, then there has to be the possibility that it will be given for the rest of her life.

If Masayoshi Kishimoto remembered correctly, he had read a report about Takeshi Kitano in his previous life. In order to stay with his outside mistress, Kitano Takeshi had only left behind a 300 million yen house, and the rest of his 20 billion yen fortune had been given to his ex-wife, who had been married for almost 40 years.

In fact, before this, Kitano Takeshi has been separated from his ex-wife for 36 years, the marriage relationship has long existed in name only. As early as 1983 and 1985, Takeshi Kitano filed for divorce twice, and repeatedly expressed the willingness to leave all the property to his wife as a condition of divorce.

However, Kitano Takeshi’s ex-wife has been forcefully declared, no matter how much money, I will not divorce. Kitano Takeshi had no choice but to accept.

Not only that, but Justice Kishimoto naturally thought of what he knew in his previous life about one of the largest divorce lawsuits in the history of mankind.

That was the case of Amazon founder Jeff? Bezos and McKenzie’s divorce, ending 25 years of marriage. His ex-wife split $38 billion worth of Amazon stock.

Justice Kishimoto is an investor and wouldn’t fail to understand that marriage is also a high-risk investment. Even if he were to get married, he would have to find a woman who is worth going to put herself at risk.

He believed to himself that in case he and Rie Sakai got a nasty divorce someday, not only would it be especially notable, but it would be one of the biggest divorces in terms of amount of money in the history of rewriting mankind.

“I’m going to go upstairs and take a shower, and we’ll go out for dinner later.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in an attempt to change the subject.

“Whenever we talk about something about sensitive matters, you choose to avoid it.” Rie Sakai said bluntly.

“What am I running away from?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said, feigning confusion.

“Can’t you be single-minded and treat me like I treat you?” Sakai Rie said without a single star of inflection.

“I also want to be like you for a lifetime. But, I really can’t do it. It’s not like I want to lie to you. You say, what should I be allowed to do?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said extremely helplessly.

Sakai Rie completely inwardly understood that his words were one hundred percent true, without a single hint of telling a lie. The reason why she herself still ended up choosing him was partly because she naively wanted to change him and create a miracle with her own hands; on the other hand, it was because of day-to-day love.

Even if he had obvious flaws, he also had obvious strengths. By the end of the day, she had been unable to control her true personal feelings towards Masayoshi Kishimoto, and was deeply attracted to his merits.
