Yes, Lady Funina!

Before Richard met her, Finina was actually on the verge of collapse. Although she still looked charming on the outside, her heart was already riddled with wounds and scars.

It was Richard who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and intervened in an irresistible manner, which gave Furninna a chance to breathe, stopped the wound in her heart from worsening, and even showed signs of healing.

Of course, this kind of healing is not without cost. The wounds healed by Richard will inevitably leave Richard's footprints. If one day Funina can recover as before, I am afraid she will not be the Funina who was just transformed from pure water. Her insides have already become someone else's appearance.

"You don't mind?!" After hearing Ningguang's words, the teasing look on Fu Ningna's face froze, and she suddenly felt unwell.

This made her feel like she was shooting herself in the foot. If she really wanted to have the most to herself in the future, and Ningguang said this again, wouldn't the damage be doubled?

Boomerang belongs to yes.

Fu Nina had narrowed her own path. She had thought that a gifted girl like Ningguang would be emotionally clean and would mind sharing her lover with others, but she didn't expect that not only did she not mind, but she was even... happy to see it happen?!

Is it really like 'I'm here to join you, not to break up this family'?

“Of course I do mind, but will it be helpful if I’m the only one who cares about this?” Ningguang was very open-minded. Just as she couldn’t monopolize Richard, she also couldn’t stay in Fontaine forever.

And if Ningguang really joins this family, it doesn’t seem like she would suffer much.

After all, from another perspective, Richard has been in Fontaine all the time. Can't we also think that Funina and the others are taking the initiative to help take care of their man? Ningguang only needs to see when she is free, and then she can come to Fontaine and enjoy the same treatment as Funina and the others?

It’s just like visiting a resort. Come when you have time, don’t come when you don’t. You don’t have to worry about anything else. When you come, just enjoy yourself.

The main point is that I have all the rights and I don't have any obligations.

He doesn't even have to worry about those beautiful girls out there trying to provoke Richard, because Funina and the others will take care of these things.

If you think about it this way, it’s really a great deal.

"Faced with an opponent like Ms. Funina, and my husband can't do without Fontaine, how could I not understand the principle that the one who is close to the water gets the moon first? With so many factors, even I don't see the possibility of winning. In this case, I might as well choose to join you, don't you think?" Ningguang's analysis was clear and convincing.

"You're...right."

And Funina was held high up by Ningguang, and had no choice but to say yes.

In fact, Finina did want to have the most benefits. The reason she joined forces with Linnet and the others was because Ningguang put too much pressure on her. But now, once she has the idea of ​​having the most benefits, she will not only have to face Ningguang, but even her allies may defect to the other side.

After all, when Clorinde proposed the harem theory, Linnet did not express any objection.

According to the principle that no direct opposition means tacit agreement, Funina temporarily classified her as a supporter of the harem theory.

Now with Ningguang in the mix, even if Furninna wanted to, she would probably be powerless. Not to mention that Ningguang alone was enough to cause her to suffer a heavy loss or even fail. If Linnet and Clorinde were to be included, in a three-on-one situation, Furninna wouldn't have the possibility of winning at all.

Not to mention that there is also Shen He who is confused. What if the opponent is also a supporter of this argument? Then it will become four against one. What's the point of fighting?

I ordered, what about you?

Ningguang saw that Funina's expression was changing constantly, so she guessed that the Lord Water God in front of her also had his own little thoughts.

At least it is definitely not like what the other party said that he doesn't mind sharing Richard with others. I'm afraid he actually minds in his heart, but because of his existence, he wants to use this excuse to leave a knot in his heart, and then actively or passively withdraw from this emotional dispute.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be a step too far. Instead of leaving any grudges on Ningguang, it gave her a "ticket" to join.

You invited me here, I didn't take the initiative to ask for this.

However, since she had already gained the upper hand, Ningguang would naturally not rub salt into Funina's wounds and offend her for no reason.

On the contrary, she had to find ways to comfort Funina, firstly to prevent Funina from losing her mental balance, and secondly to ensure family harmony in the future.

Of course, this behavior can also be understood as "giving a slap and then giving a sweet date".

“Ms. Funina, it seems I have to call you sister.” Ningguang said with a smile.

"Sister, sister?" Funina was stunned.

"After all, you are the one who proposed this matter. If it really works out, I will be indebted to you. Besides, your experience is far beyond mine, so I am the one who deserves your call of 'sister'."

As expected, after hearing these words, Funina was moved by Ningguang's sincere words. She felt so light-hearted that the knot in her heart had long disappeared.

I lost myself in the call of "sister".

Judging from the appearance, he has obviously been completely controlled by a certain Tianquanxing.

I feel like Richard and Ningguang could both be published in a book, and the title is...

——《Funina User Manual》

"Sister, what are you talking about, hehe...hehe..." Funina waved her hands and tried to be humble, but in the end she couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth raised high as if she had her own ideas.

At this point, the relationship between Funina and Ningguang has made a qualitative leap. They have changed from being in appearance only to being estranged, and now they are more like real sisters.

They got along so well that even Richard was surprised.

Generally speaking, interactions between people are bound to have twists and turns, not to mention situations like Funina and Ningguang, who both fall in love with the same man and are rivals in love. Even if they temporarily cease fighting, their relationship would not be as good as this.

Unless one of them completely controls the other and achieves "backward compatibility"...

Of course, it's not just because of the need to control the other party. Ningguang's concessions are obviously not small. Calling Funina "sister" is actually a disguised gesture of goodwill. If you think about it more deeply, you can even say it's surrender.

For someone like Ningguang, it is an extremely remarkable thing to be able to make her surrender, even if it is only in name.

But according to Richard's understanding of her, Ningguang didn't actually think so much. In Ningguang's eyes, everything except Richard was a bargaining chip that could be used for trading. Rather than suffering a verbal loss, Ningguang chose the real benefits that could be obtained.

Richard couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he thought about this, and turned his attention back to his work.

With the development of cultural exchange activities, the people of Fontaine gradually came out of many misfortunes such as the "serial disappearance of girls" and the "Fontaine Science Academy explosion".

The originally somewhat depressing social atmosphere was eased by this grand cultural and entertainment event, and Fontaine's economy gradually began to recover, and of course, the figure of one of Liyue's richest men was among them.

As far as Richard knew, during this cultural exchange activity, Ningguang not only established friendly relations with the Fontaine officials, but also reached many cooperations with many chambers of commerce and non-governmental organizations in Fontaine.

It can be seen that this Tianquanxing of Liyue is no longer satisfied with Liyue and has begun to seek external expansion, wanting to expand his business territory to Fontainebleau.

At this time, the benefits of Ningguang calling her sister were reflected. Not only did she have a local backer in Fontaine, but she no longer had to look for a brand spokesperson.

Of course, this spokesperson is not for nothing. Ningguang also gave Funina a share of Fontaine's industry.

Originally, Funina didn't want it, but Ningguang said that Richard also had a share in these industries. Doesn't Funina want to participate in Richard's career?

With just this one sentence, Funina couldn't find any reason to refuse and agreed to take the job.

Ningguang did not lie to Fu Ningna. Although Richard did not openly participate in the investment, Ningguang gave half of all her assets to Richard. Richard naturally also had a share in the company and chamber of commerce she founded in Fontaine, but Ningguang was holding it on his behalf for the time being.

"Linnet, do you think our Lady Funina has been getting too close to Ms. Ningguang recently?" Clorinde stood beside Linnet, holding the documents.

Linnet took the document from Clorinde, flipped it open, glanced at it, and simply classified it before answering, "Isn't this the brilliant idea you gave Funina?"

"That's true, but..." Clorinde couldn't tell Linnett that. She was just saying it casually at the time, and it looked like Fininna was unwilling to compromise with Ningguang.

But who would have thought that in less than a day, Lady Finina would change her attitude again, not only accepting Ningguang, but even looking like she was enjoying it?

Furninna...could she take what she said seriously?

This theory is a theory, but it is more than a little difficult to put it into practice...

Linnet gathered all the documents that Clorinde brought, poured herself a cup of hot tea, looked at Clorinde and saw that she was looking at her eagerly, so she finally poured her a cup as well.

"Thanks to you, our Lord Richard will really have many wives and concubines in the future. At least two of them have already started to prepare to take their places." Linnett said indifferently.

But Clorinde always felt something was strange when she heard it, just like a child who got the candy but was sulking because he found that some of his candy was taken away by other children.

"Isn't it three?" Clorinde looked at Linnet. Don't you count?

As far as she knew, Linnet had been getting very close to Funina recently. Linnet, who usually liked quiet time, also started to participate in the afternoon tea organized by Funina from time to time.

It is worth mentioning that Richard was not a member of the afternoon tea party recently hosted by Funina, but Ningguang, Linnet and Clorinde were all there.

Clorinde was only focused on eating and drinking, and really came here for afternoon tea, while Funina, Linnet and Ningguang used afternoon tea to deepen their understanding of each other.

- It's like getting to know your future family in advance.

Linnet looked at Clorinde with cold eyes, and without saying a word, she took out another bunch of documents from the cabinet and placed them in front of Clorinde.

Since even drinking tea can't shut you up, then just work hard. Instead of wasting energy on talking here, you might as well contribute to the cultural exchanges between Fontaine and Liyue!

"Wait...wait, this is too much." Clorinde let out a cry of sorrow as she looked at the documents in front of her that were piling up higher and higher until they were almost like a small mountain.

"A lot? Probably not as much as you say."

PS: There is one more chapter...

Volume 123: Chapter A Reward for Clorinde

Compared to when Clorinde first arrived, this cold-faced queen has changed a lot.

Not only does he talk more frequently than before, but his temperament has also gradually become calmer and he is no longer as aggressive as before.

Of course, this situation only occurs in the office. Once she leaves the office or when there are strangers around, Clorinde still looks like an icy beauty who keeps strangers away.

Not to mention that this look is quite intimidating, and it deterred many 'elites' who had been tempted by her beauty at the banquet.

It is worth mentioning that after the banquet, a hilarious incident occurred.

There was a guy who was obviously drunk or had a slow brain, but he followed Clorinde back to the office at the Momeng Palace and said that he wanted Clorinde to do him the honor of going to the Oprykle Opera House with him to watch an opera.

At that time, Richard happened to be watching the show with great interest. After being rejected by Clorinde, she took her anger out on Richard, threw a pair of gloves at him and threatened to duel with him.

Richard, who was watching the show, was completely confused. No, it was Clorinde who rejected you, so why are you blaming me?

When people fail, they blame the uneven road?

Richard didn't indulge the other party immediately, and directly... asked Clorinde to take action. Isn't it a duel? Okay, I accept it, but I ask Clorinde to be the duel agent, is that okay?

In Fontaine duels, you can find a duel agent to act as your proxy for the duel. This is also a source of income for many duel agents. After all, not all duel agents can receive orders for official trials.

The elite with a not-so-smart brain lost the duel easily and was knocked down with just one move. He didn't even get a chance to touch the corner of Clorinde's clothes before he fell under the back of Clorinde's sword.

The guy who lost the fight was obviously unwilling to give up, but he was quickly dragged out by the security personnel who arrived later, and he has never been seen since.

It is said that this talented man had his legs broken by his father as soon as he returned home, and then was sent to Xumi for "recuperation" overnight.

It was precisely because of this incident that Clorinde became more determined to wear only uniforms instead of dresses at future banquets.

Of course, it was precisely because of this incident that a rumor spread in the martial arts world, that is, Clorinde had actually become the exclusive lover of a certain big shot, which was why she was able to suddenly switch from a duel agent to become Furninna's personal secretary.

As for who that big shot is, no one has said anything in detail, but everyone has pointed the finger at a certain ordinary executive secretary general.

After all, only Richard had the ability to arrange for Clorinde to become Furninna's personal secretary when she did not have a suitable personal secretary.

However, thanks to this message, Clorinde's suitors decreased significantly. In addition, Clorinde often followed Richard around, chatting and laughing with him. Unsurprisingly, this situation caught the attention of some people, and the rumor was completely confirmed.

As a result, not only the suitors, but even the matchmakers at the Fontaine blind date corner removed Clorinde from the blind date list.

In this way, Clorinde successfully got rid of the entanglement of suitors and matchmakers in an incredible way, and her life returned to peace.

If there was any price, it would be that her reputation was damaged, but she didn't take it to heart. It wasn't that Clorinde was broad-minded, but because she really had thoughts about Richard, or more precisely, about Richard's body.

Some people had seen her chatting with Richard frequently before. Besides work needs, she was also asking Richard for legal salary.

After all, the payment that Richard paid for her to be his duel agent has not yet been paid off!

The difference is that other duel agents want money, but Clorinde is different, she wants sex.

Oh, don't get the wrong idea. Clorinde wants a photo of Richard, preferably one in which he is only wearing a small vest or nothing at all. Slurp~

Richard obviously could not agree to such an unreasonable request. The original incident was caused by Clorinde. Not only did he not blame Clorinde for causing trouble for him, but she even asked him to pay an agency fee.

He is simply more capitalist than capitalist.

Besides, where could he take that kind of photo for Clorinde? Richard didn't have the habit of taking selfies.

Clorinde immediately said that she could take the photos for free, and she wouldn't charge if the photos were not good!

"You are already very beautiful, so don't think too much about yourself."

As expected, Richard once again ruthlessly rejected Clorinde's request for salary.

"It's different this time, I have other bargaining chips!" Clorinde was obviously prepared, knowing that the reason last time was too far-fetched and could not impress Richard.

But the situation has changed. Now Clorinde has full confidence that Richard can agree to her request.

"?" Richard slowly answered with a question mark, "No matter what bargaining chips you have, no means no."

"It concerns Ningguang, Funina and the others!" Clorinde called out two names.

"What do you mean?"

"You have to agree to my request first." Clorinde said directly, and asked Richard to make a guarantee first.

"Forget it, I'll ask them myself when the time comes." Richard was obviously a man who was unwilling to suffer any loss. He stood up and pretended to go find Funina and the others.

Clorinde was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect Richard to do this to her.

"Wait, let me tell you!" Clorinde said quickly.

"Okay, go ahead." Richard sat back down.

Clorinde: ...
