Yes, Lady Funina!

As I said, when asking for help, you should adopt a asking-for-help attitude.

Therefore, Finina's attitude was very correct. She looked earnestly, her watery heterochromatic eyes staring at Richard's eyes without blinking, her rosy little mouth pouted slightly, making people want to take a sip...

He definitely wouldn't suck it. Richard put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed. Finally, he compromised and said, "Yes, Lady Funina."

"Great! Let's go now!" Finina cheered, then picked up Richard's arm and prepared to rush out the door, without any regard for the so-called gender barrier.

Although Richard had explained that he was not without worldly desires, but had "locked" them up with absolute rationality and strong control, it seemed that Furninna didn't take it to heart.

Instead of maintaining a normal distance between men and women, the other party began to frequently test Richard's bottom line since that day.

It’s bad, the opponent has now broken through the safe distance.

Sooner or later you will have to pay for what you have done.

Of course, the probing here is limited to superficial physical contact, such as hugging each other's arms, or punching the chest with fists. There are currently no actions beyond the scope of normal friendship, such as intimate hugs and kisses.

In summary, we are more than friends but less than lovers.

Moreover, even hugging each other's arms is an event with a low probability of happening. Only when Funina really feels happy will she condescend to hug Richard's arm.

As for Richard, who was hugged by the arm, he didn't feel anything special. After all, it was too flat. It was also because girls' bodies were soft to begin with, otherwise he would have felt uncomfortable.

If Clorinde did this set of moves, the effect would be explosive, but if it was Furninda... it's just okay.

"There's no need to be so anxious, right?"

After leaving the office, Furniture let go of Richard's arm. After all, the outside was not as good as the office. When there were only two of them, Furniture could be a little "unbridled" in front of Richard, but outside, she had to put on the airs of the "Water God" and could not hug Richard casually.

The ring on her hand had caused quite a stir in the beginning. If she were to go out on the street holding Richard's arm in public, she might as well just make an official announcement.

"Liyue has only been coming to Fontaine for less than two weeks for exchanges, so we naturally have to seize the time!" Funina said as a matter of course.

Richard raised his wrist to check the time and found that there was less than an hour left before the end of get off work.

"Lady Furninna, do you know where the Liyue delegation is?"

"I know, it's the VIP reception room, just things happening upstairs and downstairs." Funina had already found out everything, and she also noticed Richard looking at his watch.

"Then Villette and the others should have finished their discussion. It's a good time to go over now. We can also have dinner together. Aren't people in Liyue used to discussing things at the dinner table? I'm trying to please them."

Although Funina usually seems a little silly in front of Richard and is played around by him, in fact, anyone who really underestimates her is really stupid. For this day, Funina has prepared many plans and has considered everything very carefully.

Of course, in order to ensure that everything goes well, she had to involve Richard no matter what. On the one hand, Richard had connections in Liyue, and on the other hand, it was Funina's own personal need.

After all, without Richard by my side, I always felt like something was missing. I felt very insecure and was particularly worried about having an accident.

If Richard was by her side, Furninna would feel much more at ease, and even her voice would be much louder.

"By the way, what kind of gift do you think I should give to that Tianquan Star? I remember that in Liyue, people always bring gifts when they visit someone, right?" Funina thought.

Li Jue felt that Funina might be overthinking. Although Funina was the one going to find Ningguang and the others now, this was Momang Palace, Funina's territory, and Ningguang and the others were the ones coming.

Besides, as for the gift for a meeting... Li Jue felt that Funina bringing him over was probably the best gift for a meeting in Ningguang's eyes.

Ningguang had never intended to hide her desire for Richard. Since their last reunion, although the other party had shown a strong sense of boundaries, he also did not hide his intention to take the next step.

It was Richard who was escaping. Believe it or not, as long as Richard nodded in agreement, their friendship would be sublimated. In order to prevent any further complications, Ningguang might even do the deed at the same time, helping Richard get rid of the title of virgin and turning herself into a woman at the same time.

"As for the gift of meeting, Lady Finina might as well pick a time to take them to the Opikle Opera House to watch a performance. This will also fit in with the theme of this cultural exchange." Richard suggested.

"Good idea, you will go too, right?" Finina looked at Richard.

Richard felt a little regretful for saying too much. If he had known this would happen, he would have asked Funina to prepare some desserts for Ningguang and the others.

Richard could only answer vaguely: "It depends on the situation... After all, there is still a lot of work to do."

"Then let's do it on Saturday, the day after tomorrow. There won't be any work to do on the day off, right?" Fu Nina would not give Richard any chance to be ambiguous.

"It's said to be a day off, but this counts as overtime, right?" Richard complained.

Funina smiled slyly and said, "No, it's considered team building, which is an additional benefit project."

It was a very strong reason that Richard couldn't refute. Furninha had become a bad person!

He could see that Funina was determined to take him with her wherever she went.

But you know what, Furninha accidentally figured out the code to deal with Ningguang. As long as Richard is brought along, there is no need to worry that Ningguang will be unwilling to talk to her.

If Funina could give Richard to Ningguang, let alone the Jade Pavilion's levitation technology, even if she gave the Jade Pavilion to Funina, I think Ningguang would be willing.

Of course, regardless of whether or not Furninna has such ability, even if she does, Furninna herself probably wouldn't be happy about it.

“Come to think of it, you said you have connections in Liyue, and that you know Ningguang and the immortal who came with her this time, but to what extent do your relationships go?” Funina chatted with Richard while waiting for the elevator.

She had forgotten to ask about this matter before, but just now she remembered to care about it. Furninna was not nervous at all about this. After all, the relationship between them could not be beyond friendship.

Li Chu~

"Teacher and student? Biological father and adoptive mother?" Richard thought for a moment and answered.

Funina:?

What is this mess?

The teacher and the students are understandable, but what about the biological father and the adoptive mother?

How could you, a virgin, be someone's biological father?

Richard smacked his lips. The life-saving grace was like that of a second parent. He saved the dying Shen He and helped her find Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun as her master. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this grace was like that of a biological father.

Although Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun is called a master, he actually raised Shen He from childhood to adulthood and is no different from a foster mother.

Teacher and student, biological father and adoptive mother, the former describes his relationship with Ningguang, and the latter describes his relationship with Xianyun. It makes sense, right?

Looking at Furninna who was confused and full of questions, Richard did not give too much explanation. He would know the answer when they met.

Walking into the VIP reception room, no one stopped him along the way. Of course, who dared to stop Lord Water God in Mo Mang Palace?

As for the guards on Ningguang's side... they recognized Richard, so they would not stop him. Ever since Richard's last visit to Qun Yu Pavilion, everyone in Qun Yu Pavilion knew that Mr. Richard was the most likely person to become the male owner of Qun Yu Pavilion.

And it's not that people are chasing after their own Lord Ningguang, but Lord Ningguang is chasing after others, and they have even chased them all the way to Fontainebleau. As the saying goes, a girl chasing a boy is easy to get. Ningguang's direct subordinates all think that it is only a matter of time before Mr. Richard becomes 'Mr.' Richard, and sooner or later everyone will be a family~

Ningguang was very surprised at Richard's arrival. She had originally planned to wait until things here were settled before looking for him, but she never expected that he would come to her on his own initiative. This was obviously a good thing for Ningguang.

Only Ningguang and her three secretaries were in the VIP reception room. As for Xianyun, he simply showed up, said hello, and then stayed in the embassy with Shen He.

She said she was accompanying him, but in fact she was watching over Shen He to prevent him from going behind her back to find her biological father, Richard.

This "adoptive mother" was extremely worried that the daughter she had raised with great difficulty would follow her biological father and never return.

However, Xianyun was worrying too much. Shen He would not go directly to find Richard. Firstly, it was because she did not know Richard's exact location. Secondly, she had agreed with Ningguang that they would go to find Richard together after Ningguang had dealt with her business.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Before Ningguang could finish dealing with the matter, Furninna had already come to the door with Richard.

But it doesn’t matter. Ningguang has already sent someone to invite Shenhe and Xianyun. Since they have agreed to meet Richard together, they naturally cannot go back on their word.

Ningguang took her promise very seriously, and of course, she also noticed that there was something wrong with the way the water god of Fontaine looked at Richard. Her woman's intuition told her that the other party must have some feelings for Richard, and she had to find some help quickly.

Ningguang knew that Richard was the executive secretary general of Funina, but she didn't expect that Richard's charm was so great that even the gods would fall in love with him.

Although Funina's expression was not so obvious, it can be seen from clues that even if Funina has not completely fallen, she is not far away. At least she definitely has some good feelings for him.

Thinking of this, Ningguang couldn't help but sigh that her husband was really charming.

"Greetings, Lord Water God. Nice to meet you again, Mr. Richard." Ningguang greeted with a reserved and elegant smile on her face.

Navilette, who was also in the reception room, keenly noticed the change in Ningguang's temperament, as if she had switched directly from business mode to combat mode.

Then, Villette turned his gaze to Richard, and he gradually understood everything.

Oh, there's a good show to watch.

Volume 115: Chapter : Funina: Coming to steal a man?

It was said that there would be a good show to watch, but both Ningguang and Funina were respectable people, so it was naturally impossible for them to do anything to Richard in such an occasion.

And looking at the silly look on Furninna's face, she probably hasn't realized that the "sir" Ningguang just said is not a respectful title in the common context, but contains more meanings. As for whether it is a teacher or a husband, that depends on personal opinion.

However, according to Ningguang's personality, even if someone asked this, she would not give too much explanation and would throw the question to Richard.

If Richard said it was the teacher's intention, then it was the teacher's intention. If Richard said it was the husband's intention, then Ningguang could accept having a husband like Richard.

There is a rumor among the people of Liyue that Tianquan Ningguang is polite to every suitor, and it seems that there is hope, but in fact there is no possibility of success, because the other party already has someone in his heart. So far, no one has ever been able to get close to her, which is the best proof.

Some suitors would ask Ningguang who the person she had in her heart was, but Ningguang replied that even she herself didn't know the other person's name.

Many people interpreted this answer to mean that Ningguang did not have a lover, but only she herself knew that she did not know the real name of her lover, she only knew that he was "Mr."

If someone asked her now, she might be able to give an exact name.

"Just call me Funina, there's no need to be restrained." Funina waved her hand and said.

Ningguang responded with a faint smile and asked Funina to call her Ningguang. With her strong emotional intelligence and Funina also having something to ask of Ningguang, the two girls quickly became familiar with each other.

As for Richard, he sat quietly aside, watching the two beauties chatting about art and money.

Villette looked at Richard who was calm and composed and asked curiously, "Aren't you panicking?"

Richard looked at the Chief Inquisitor, and was furious when he thought about how it was this guy who had talked nonsense to Furninda and the others, making them mistakenly believe that they had no worldly desires.

We are all from the same ethnic group and are even colleagues now. How can you spread rumors like this?

Don’t think that I can’t sue you just because you are the supreme judge. You are committing slander!

Although Richard was complaining in his heart, he still satisfied Villette's curiosity: "Don't panic, why should I panic?"

Forget it, I won’t bother with this sick fellow, Richard thought.

Then Villette thought thoughtfully, is this the legendary 'Sea King's margin'?

It's not like Villette hasn't handled this type of case before. There have been many murders caused by emotional disputes, and the victims in these cases are often like Richard, who has multiple relationships at the same time.

However, with Richard's strength, he would not fall to that level. There are people in the world who have the power to kill Richard, but obviously neither Funina nor Ningguang, nor the others are among them.

Since he won't die, then everything else is just a small problem. Maybe that's why Richard is so calm, Villette thought.

Fortunately, Villette usually has no expression on his face. Even when he is thinking about something, the expression on his face is no different from usual. Even Richard can't detect what he is thinking.

If Richard knew what this guy was thinking, he would have to have a chat with him.

What does it mean to stay calm because there is no life-threatening situation?

He is upright and has nothing to fear!

Can you speak?

"Funina mentioned me to you last time?" Richard couldn't help but bring it up.

"Well, Ms. Funina cares about you very much," Navrette replied.

"But this is no reason for you to spread rumors about me! Be careful or I will sue you for defamation." Richard complained.

When Villette heard Richard's words, he didn't seem to take it as a joke. After thinking carefully, he replied, "I'm sorry, I don't know if my words are considered rumors. If they have damaged your reputation, I can compensate you. If you want to sue me, you can go through the formal legal procedures."

Richard: ...

Why does he bother with this guy?

"Well, forget about suing you. Just treat me to a meal when you have time and we'll be done with it." Richard replied.

"Okay." Villette did not refuse. He looked at Funina who was chatting with Ningguang, and couldn't help but ask Richard.

"What is Ms. Funina planning now?"

Obviously even Villette could see that Finina's visit was not just to receive foreign visitors, but had other purposes.

"For the crisis of Fontaine's prophecy, although she looks like that, she actually worked very hard." Richard explained, but did not say much to Villette.

Nonsense, the mark on my hand is still there. If I break my oath, even Richard will be in trouble.

After all, it was not Morax who witnessed the oath, but the underlying rules of the world of Teyvat.

Only a contract of this level can bind the gods.

"It seems you know something?"

"Not much, and don't ask. I won't tell you as long as we have the contract." Richard waved his right hand at Villette and said.

Although he was wearing gloves, Villette could still sense the power of the contract on Richard. However, this power of the contract seemed to be a bit strange. In addition to Richard and Finnina, there was also an aura that Villette was quite familiar with.

It seemed somewhat similar to the Cardinal of the Oracle. Villette sat next to the Cardinal of the Oracle every day, so he was naturally very familiar with the aura there.

Villette didn't think much about it. After seeing that Richard knew what was going on, he felt much more relieved.

With Richard by Funina's side, there shouldn't be any major problems no matter what. This is why when Villette heard that Funina wanted to participate in the management of Fontaine, he arranged her to the City Hall.

If Richard was not there, Villette felt that for the sake of peace and stability in Fontaine, Funina should continue to display her talent in opera performances.
