For a man like Lu Heng, who was destined not to belong to just one woman, how could one ensure a unique place in his heart?
Focalors had her own understanding of this.
Since he was never meant to be exclusive to anyone, then there was no point in trying to stop him!
Not only should she not stop him, but she should actively support him!
Just think about it.
How would it feel to have a wife who supports you in having a harem?
You'd definitely think, My wife is so considerate, she's actually thinking for me like this!
Even if there were more women in the future, you'd never treat her unfairly!
Based on Focalors' understanding of men, they might even swear an oath on the spot.
And they'd absolutely keep their word!
She didn't have to worry about Furina.
Furina was the first, so she already had an inherent advantage.
Lu Heng would never forget Furina—after all, she was his first.
Focalors was also certain that Lu Heng would never forget her.
To put it bluntly, no matter what happened in the future, Lu Heng wouldn't forget any of them.
One thing was certain: in Lu Heng's heart, everyone would likely hold a similar place. He probably wouldn't favor one over another.
But!
That didn't stop Focalors from giving herself bonus points.
Men, after all—
As long as you give them what they want, pamper them every day, and always indulge them…
You'd end up with an unshakably loyal man.
Just look at Lu Heng's expression right now.
Focalors could confirm that Lu Heng was utterly devoted to her at this moment.
If she told him to go east, he wouldn't dare take a single step west!
Got him wrapped around my finger~
At this very moment, the fortune-telling from the livestream had already given Lu Heng a hint.
But would Lu Heng care?
A woman who clearly loved him deeply, yet still thought for him and even supported him in building a harem—wasn't that the ultimate proof of love?
Love, in essence, was selfish.
For a normal man, the idea of sharing their woman with others was unthinkable.
The same went for women—they'd never willingly share their man with another.
That was why jealousy existed, why people hated homewreckers.
So, for her to go this far…
Lu Heng was more than willing to let her have her way.
Focalors sat on the sofa, picked up her phone, and asked for Navia's contact number.
Meanwhile, in the back seat of a car, Navia was deep in thought, eyes closed, pondering over Lu Heng.
This is so unfair.
To put it abstractly—
The goddess already has a husband?!
How could this be?!
I hadn't even started pursuing her yet, and she's already taken!
But Navia had strong moral principles.
She truly didn't want to interfere in someone else's relationship.
She wasn't sure if Lu Heng would accept her, but Furina and Focalors would definitely be unhappy, right?
Ding~
Suddenly, her phone chimed.
Navia glanced at the screen.
"Huh?"
"What's wrong, Young Lady?"
"N-Nothing."
Navia shook her head, looking at the notification on her phone.
[Focalors] has sent a friend request.
Oh no.
The wife is coming for me!
Navia's heart tightened.
She frowned, trying to recall.
Did I… do anything inappropriate today?
She had just treated Lu Heng to a meal as a thank-you, that was all!
After mentally retracing her steps, Navia felt a bit more at ease.
I absolutely can't cause trouble for Lu Heng!
The moment she accepted the request, a message popped up.
[Focalors]: Hi, Navia~
Seems… friendly enough?
Navia quickly typed a reply.
[Navia]: Greetings, Lady Focalors!
[Focalors]: No need to be so formal. I added you because I wanted to ask you something.
Here it comes!
It's really happening!
Navia braced herself with 120% alertness.
[Navia]: Please go ahead!
The next second, a question appeared on her screen.
[Focalors]: Be honest—do you have feelings for Lu Heng? Don't lie to me!
Such a deadly question!
Navia felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
To be completely honest, she did have some feelings for Lu Heng, but they weren't overwhelming!
To put it precisely, she admired him a little, but mostly, she was just grateful.
Immediately, she replied:
[Navia]: I do… have a tiny bit of feelings, but it's really not much! I can still turn back now. Lady Focalors, please don't worry—I'd never cross any lines! We're just good partners, great friends!
Her fingers trembled as she typed.
She was telling the truth.
But… being questioned like this by the wife made her feel incredibly vulnerable. She hurried to clarify her stance, hoping Focalors would trust her.
However…
Things seemed to be going in a completely different direction than she expected.
[Focalors]: Oh~ I knew it! Even a little bit of liking is enough. You don't have to turn back—feel free to express your feelings boldly!
Navia fell silent.
She couldn't tell if Focalors was testing her or being genuine.
Just as she was hesitating…
[Focalors]: I mean it. As long as you truly like him, neither Furina nor I will stop you. After all, with a man like him, few girls can resist. The only condition is that you must accept that he has other women.
"…?"
Navia was stunned.
She rolled down the car window, letting the cold wind rush in.
She needed to clear her head.
After calming down, she carefully analyzed Focalors' words.
After a long while, she finally deciphered the hidden meaning—
Furina and Focalors don't care at all if their husband has other women?!
How could such a thing even exist?!
Navia could hardly believe it.
She had been ready to give up, but after Focalors' words… she hesitated.
After a pause, she replied:
[Navia]: Lady Focalors… are you serious?
[Focalors]: Of course! I'm encouraging you to pursue him! If you don't believe me, you can ask Furina—you have her contact, right?
Navia did have Furina's number.
After some thought, she carefully worded a message to probe indirectly.
[Furina]: I know. I have no objections. The future supply of desserts is in your hands now. (greedy)
"…?"
I must be dreaming.
Miss Furina isn't against it either?!
What Navia didn't know was that Furina had already been mentally prepared by Focalors before she got together with Lu Heng.
So, Furina had long accepted reality.
Stop him?
That'd just be thankless labor. Why bother?
Besides…
Navia's dessert-making skills… Furina was quite fond of her.
In the end, Navia reached a conclusion that made her feel like she was in a dream:
Furina and Focalors are encouraging me to pursue Lu Heng!
The whole situation left Navia dazed.
This makes no sense!
I only have a tiny crush on my partner, and not only are you not stopping me—you're actively supporting me?!
I was about to give up!
"Heh…"
Navia clutched her phone, rereading Furina and Focalors' messages over and over.
"Maybe… I should give it a try?"
My partner is a wonderful person.
If she had only been grateful to him without any romantic feelings, she wouldn't even be considering this.
But the truth was, she did like him a little.
Originally, she hadn't planned to act on it—just keeping him as her closest friend would've been enough.
But now? No one was standing in her way!
If no one was opposed… why not try?
"Melus."
"Young Lady, I'm here!"
"If Furina and Focalors don't mind me pursuing my partner… do you think I should go for it?"
Melus paused, then answered solemnly, "If what you say is true… and you don't want to miss your chance with Mr. Lu Heng… then I suggest you try."
"Yeah… When an opportunity presents itself, who would willingly let it slip away?"
"Now, I have a new goal!"
What would the future hold?
Navia didn't know.
But she did know one thing—
Since there are no moral restraints… then I shouldn't betray the feelings stirring in my heart during this youthful time!
Immediately, Navia opened her memo app and began drafting a plan.
