Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.

Li Ruobing wore a light blue long dress, and her long, straight black hair was clearly styled and had a faint fragrance.

Her neck was also sparkling, adorned with a diamond necklace; it was clear she had dressed up carefully before coming.

Wu Chen hugged him, gazing into Li Ruobin's eyes with a smile.

Li Ruobin wore a little color today; the very light eyeshadow made his features look more defined. He doesn't usually dress like this; he's naturally ambitious and doesn't need to. He only does this when attending important occasions, such as banquets.

Li Ruobing's looks are rated 9 out of 10. Wu Chen's rating of looks has two basic requirements: first, no makeup; second, no plastic surgery.

In other words, Li Ruobing was in the no-makeup controversy, but the Li Ruobing who was being held by Wu Chen at this moment had different makeup than usual, making her look even more beautiful, at least a 9.5 or even higher.

Makeup really can change a person's appearance; even an ugly duckling can become a beauty with makeup, let alone a stunning woman.

When did you find out I was here?

Li Ruobing didn't answer Wu Chen's question, but instead asked softly with a smile.

The two were standing very close, so there was no need to raise their voices.

Your high heels aren't without business.

Even though you were deliberately walking very quietly, I woke up when you reached the bedroom door.

Wu Chen smiled and said softly.

Li Ruobing launched a surprise attack while Wu Chen was sleeping. He didn't have the key to the house, but it originally belonged to Li Ruotai. After the Villa was transferred to Wu Chen, the key was also given to Wu Chen.

However, the door to the living room on the First Floor has a password and fingerprint lock, and Wu Chen has never changed the password or anything.

Wu Chen knew that before Li Ruobing arrived, she must have called Li Ruotai to ask for the password to the Villa's front door.

You're awake! Why are you pretending to be asleep? Aren't you afraid he's a bad guy?

Come on!

Li Ruobing smiled and asked softly.

I recognize your footsteps.

Wu Chen laughed.

You can even tell the sound of footsteps?

Li Ruobing immediately retorted.

He knew.

You can definitely tell the difference in footsteps, but you have to be extremely familiar with them and have heard them a lot.

Different people have different weights, walking postures, and walking habits, which can lead to different walking sounds.

Li Ruobing could recognize her younger brother Li Ruotai's footsteps because she knew him well enough.

But he was a little puzzled. He acknowledged Wu Chen's strength, but they had only known Wu Chen for eight or nine days. How could they be so familiar with each other?

If I said I know everything about you, would you believe me?

Wu Chen laughed.

For example?

Li Ruobing raised her eyebrows slightly.

For example, I know you're destined for bloodshed, and you're just messing with me.

Wu Chen smiled.

Li Ruobing smiled, her expression turning slightly strange, and said with a hint of reproach, "It's not like I'm teasing you, is it? You're putting it so harshly."

Wu Chen smiled without saying a word, revealing a knowing look in Li Ruobing's eyes.

The two leaned in together and kissed, not passionately, but slowly, they seemed to be immersed in the moment. Li Ruobing truly felt the feeling of being in love.

We parted ways after a while. Grandma, come over tonight.

Li Ruobing pursed her lips again and said softly, "I'm really not angry."

Wu Chen laughed again. He understood perfectly why Li Ruobing had suddenly come to him; it was clearly against his usual style, as if she had offered herself up.

But he still came unexpectedly. Because of what happened this afternoon, Li Ruotai had naturally confessed to Li Ruobing what he had done, which caused the Old Blade priest to run for his life.

Although Wu Chen resolved everything after stepping in, Li Ruotai did cause trouble, and it was the kind of trouble that might make Wu Chen mistakenly believe that Li Ruotai didn't trust his brother-in-law, Wu Chen.

Li Ruobing didn't want Wu Chen to harbor any resentment towards her younger brother, even though Wu Chen repeatedly said he wasn't angry. Li Ruobing felt that what needed to be done still had to be done.

The doorbell suddenly rang, and the sound echoed on every floor of the Villa.

Wu Chen released Li Ruobing and turned around. Li Ruobing sat up, straightened her skirt, and walked out while the Daoist bodyguard spoke.

Wu Chen, still in his pajamas, sat up, put on his slippers, and slowly followed Li Ruobing out the door.

Li Ruobing went downstairs first. She opened the door to the living room, where Li Ruobing two bodyguards stood, each carrying large bags of groceries, seemingly fresh from the Market. The kitchen was over there. Li Ruobing let the bodyguards in, then turned to Wu Chen, who had just slipped off his slippers and come downstairs. He really didn't know anything about the Villa; this was his second time here, the first being yesterday. After all, it was a villa that Li Ruotai had renovated, Villa he himself had never lived in.

Wu Chen gestured, and two bodyguards carrying groceries quickly went into the kitchen. Li Ruobing followed them, and soon the two bodyguards left.

After leaving the Villa, Wu Chen walked to the kitchen door, crossed his arms, leaned against the door, and smiled at Li Ruobing.

Li Ruobing was tidying up. The kitchen only contained tableware; the cooking utensils were complete, but because it had never been used for cooking, there weren't even any seasonings.

However, Li Ruobing had her bodyguard buy them, and he was taking the items out of the bag one by one.

Cooking?

Wu Chen asked with a smile.

Yes, let me show you my cooking.

Li Ruobing glanced at Wu Chen and said.

Wu Chen's expression turned strange for a moment.

Li Ruobing can cook. Because of her overseas study experience, she can cook both Chinese and Western food. It would be strange if an independent and strong-willed woman like her couldn't cook.

However, as far as Wu Chen knew, Li Ruobing hadn't cooked much in the last few years, or rather, since Li Ruobing officially started working. It was inevitable that he was rusty. His cooking skills were only so-so back then, not as good as Su Qingying's. Coupled with his rustiness, Wu Chen really didn't have high expectations for what Li Ruobing was making now, but he was sure it would be edible.

What kind of expression is that?

Li Ruobing glanced at Wu Chen again, as if she didn't quite believe me.

I know you can cook.

Wu Chen laughed.

Yeah?

Li Ruobing began to have doubts. He felt that Wu Chen didn't trust him, and Wu Chen's eyes betrayed him.

Although I haven't cooked much for a few years, once you learn to cook, you won't forget it.

As Li Ruobing spoke, she poured the cleaned fish from the bag into a basin.

I wouldn't dare say I did better than Qingying, but I'm definitely better than you, a grown man.

By the way, can you cook?

After speaking, Li Ruobing moved the basin containing the fish to the side. With a clang, the basin, which was too far to the side, tipped over and crashed to the ground with a loud thud. It was a stainless steel basin, so it didn't break, but it was still a frightening sight, and the fish were thrown out.

The silence suddenly turned awkward.

Li Ruobing remained remarkably composed, showing no sign of embarrassment.

He used to collect fish, and even though they were already cleaned, they would still move. Did their nerves not die?

Just as Li Ruobing caught the very fat carp, it twisted and bounced off her hand, hitting Li Ruobing and then falling to the ground. Her skirt was instantly stained with blood. Li Ruobing didn't even offer to wear an apron, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Li Ruobing, who is usually capable and decisive, seemed a little clumsy when faced with a cleaned fish.

Li Ruobing didn't dare to look at Wu Chen, worried that Wu Chen would look at him with unprofessional eyes, which would make him angry.

I have pajamas in my room, mine.

Wu Chen said with a smile.

Li Ruobing looked down at her skirt, then at her hands. She rinsed them under the tap, shook them off, and then shuffled out of the kitchen in her high heels.

He didn't even look at Wu Chen as Wu Chen passed by; Li Ruobing went upstairs to change her clothes.

Wu Chen listened to Li Ruobing go upstairs, then looked into the kitchen, where the fish was still bouncing on the floor.

He thought for a moment, then went into the kitchen, rolling up his pajama sleeves as he went, before grabbing an apron and putting it on.

Wu Chen felt he could have a flamboyant title tonight, like "God of Cookery."

Li Ruobing spent a full half hour going upstairs because she not only changed clothes—she also took a shower and touched up her makeup because she smelled fishy—but also took a bath.

Of course, I couldn't touch up my makeup to look as good as before, since I didn't bring that many cosmetics with me. So, I simply put on some light makeup again; I still had lipstick and eyebrow pencil in my bag.

Around 6 p. m., when it was already dark outside, Li Ruobing finally came downstairs. Her face Bingbing, and she was genuinely in a bad mood. She couldn't blame anyone, so she could only ask for the cleaned fish.

He had dressed up nicely to visit Wu Chen today and even planned to cook for her, but her younger brother Li Ruotai arrived, so the whole family could have dinner together.

He even considered scolding his younger brother in front of Wu Chen and making his brother apologize to Wu Chen.

Li Ruobing genuinely didn't want any problems, and he didn't want Wu Chen to harbor any resentment towards his younger brother. Everything was planned perfectly; he had envisioned a homely atmosphere here today. However, he couldn't even manage to cook, leaving him feeling frustrated.

Li Ruobing, wearing another set of men's pajamas and slippers worn by Wu Chen, walked to the kitchen door. He was holding his phone, thinking that if necessary, he would call the chef to come over.

The scene in the kitchen, however, left Li Ruobing momentarily stunned.

Wow, the carp is thrown into the wok with plenty of oil!

With a sizzling sound of oil sizzling, Wu Chen, wearing an apron, stood in front of the stove. It was a three-burner stove, with two burners currently running. Something was already simmering in the middle pot, which was covered. Wu Chen was using the left burner to cook fish.

The kitchen is very large, comparable to a standard bedroom.

On the long bank behind Wu Chen, various rare and fine stones had already been arranged, placed in basins and plates, looking neat and orderly, giving off a very professional feel.

Li Ruobing stood at the kitchen doorway, lost in thought. She remembered that time at Wu Chen's house, when Li Ruobing was in a daze, watching Wu Chen and Su Qingying bustling around like a young couple.

He vaguely remembered that Wu Chen had once helped Su Qingying watch the pot while Su Qingying was hanging up the laundry. Based on this alone, he couldn't be sure whether Wu Chen could cook.

Knowing a little bit isn't really knowing anything; anyone can do that, like cooking instant noodles or frying leftover rice.

Now Li Ruobin feels that Wu Chen not only has the ability, but is also very professional.

Is it because Wu Chen's family owns a Ramen Shop? Otherwise, it's extremely rare for a man his age to know how to cook.

As Li Ruobing pondered this, the question returned to her: what is there that Wu Chen can't do?

What are you looking at?

Seeing that Li Ruobing remained silent, Wu Chen glanced at her and asked with a smile, "Come help me out? There are still some vegetables that haven't been washed. Take a look; they're in the bag."

Oh,

Li Ruobing snapped out of her daze and agreed to Ye Sheng's request.

He had just stepped into the kitchen when he seemed to remember something, suddenly stopped, retreated to the doorway, picked up his phone, and snapped a photo of Li Ruobing Wu Chen cooking.

What are you doing?

Wu Chen glanced at him and asked with a smile.

Keep this as a memento.

Li Ruobing pursed her lips, looked at the photos she had taken on her phone, then opened WeChat and posted a picture of Wu Chen cooking on her Moments without any text.

This WeChat isn't for work; it's his personal WeChat, so he has very few friends. He adds only a few people a year. The most recent WeChat friend he added was Su Qingying.

Li Ruobin needs to confirm this and continue promoting it so that more people know Wu Chen is her boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Wu Chen is cooking for her.

A few minutes later, Li Ruobing also put on an apron and was washing, wiping, and chopping vegetables as Wu Chen had instructed.

He can cook, he's just not very good at it yet.

My dear Mr. Wu, may I ask you a question?

Li Ruobing suddenly spoke.

Yeah?

Wu Chen replied.

Have you ever cooked for Su Qingying?

Li Ruo asked casually.

No.

Wu Chen laughed, turned to look at Li Ruobing, and then laughed again, "If we don't count at home, then I probably haven't cooked for any woman. You're the first." Wu Chen was just telling the truth; Reincarnation doesn't count, it's all Reset.

Li Ruobing smiled, feeling very happy. He controlled his emotions, feeling that this was not like him at all. He was actually happy because a man had cooked for him but had not cooked for other women. In fact, he was comparing himself to Su Qingying, which was very strange.

Li Ruobing never considered herself the kind of woman who would resort to underhanded tactics or be jealous of other women, but she just couldn't help thinking that way.

Wu Chen.

Li Ruobing suddenly called out.

Ah!

Wu Chen turned to look at him.

At that moment, Li Ruobing leaned to the side and kissed Wu Chen on the corner of his mouth. He had just reapplied his lipstick, leaving a mark.

After giving her a kiss, Li Ruobing pulled away.

What are you doing now?

Wu Chen asked with a smile.

You're my man, can't I kiss you?

Li Ruobing washed her eyes and asked Wu Chen.

Using force to demonstrate that this is a reward for Wu Chen, it shows that he is happy.

Wu Chen smiled and did not refute Li Ruobing.

Another half hour passed, around 6:40 PM, and Li Ruotai arrived.

Without knocking, Li Ruotai could smell the aroma of food in the living room of the Villa where he entered by entering a password, Li Ruotai could also hear sounds coming from the kitchen.

My brother-in-law.

Li Ruotai called out twice to check the pot.

Wu Chen gave Li Ruobing some instructions in the kitchen, then took off his apron and went out.

He pulled his slippers out of the kitchen, and Wu Chen gestured to Li Ruotai, who was already by the sofa.

Li Ruotai was indeed a little stunned when he saw Wu Chen, because this was the first time he had seen Wu Chen dressed in pajamas and slippers at home.

I've always seen Wu Chen wearing a suit before, and suits give a person a mature look. So Wu Chen looks really young now, like a college student on summer vacation, looking a bit lazy.

This made Li Ruotai think of Wu Chen's age, and then he had a terrifying feeling. How could someone so young be so amazing? It wasn't just his brain that was impressive, but his skills were also incredible.

Li Ruotai had asked the bodyguard in detail yesterday, and he knew that Aunt Wu Chen had single-handedly defeated seven opponents in the elevator.

According to the bodyguard's description, that was not human; it was a superhumanly strong and freakish act.

Wu Chen is four years younger than Li Ruotai.

Li Ruotai increasingly felt that he was not only a younger brother in front of his older sister, but also a younger brother in front of his brother-in-law Wu Chen.

Sit down, what are you standing there for?

Wu Chen sat down on the sofa, glanced at Li Ruo's head, and then reached out to pull out a tissue to wipe his mouth, which still bore the kiss mark from Li Ruobing.

Li Ruotai sat down, about to say something, but Wu Chen asked first how the Old Blade was doing.

No problem, you received another blood transfusion, and the doctor re-treated your wound.

Li Ruotai gave a brief explanation.

Wu Chen nodded.

Brother-in-law, have you finished talking to that Old Blade?

Li Ruotai took the initiative to ask.

Yes, he's finished.

Wu Chen said, looking at Li Ruotai with a smile, but did not take the initiative to continue.

Li Ruotai has started to feel pressured in front of Wu Chen, for some inexplicable reason.

What did they talk about?

Li Ruota asked again.

Nothing much, just chatting.

Wu Chen said.

He clearly conveyed his reluctance to speak to Li Ruotai.

In the following minutes, Li Ruotai tried to elicit information from Wu Chen from various angles, mentioning the Ding Family, Jin Hua, and Old Blade.

Wu Chen had mentioned a little bit to him, and that was all he knew, so he asked him all sorts of probing questions.

Of course, Wu Chen didn't want to say anything since he couldn't get any information out of him, and he wouldn't know a single word.

Li Ruotai had no choice.

After a few seconds of silence that made Li Ruotai feel a little awkward, Li Ruotai seemed to remember something, took out his phone, dialed a number, and got through quickly.

He said, "Dad, I've arrived."

He said a few simple words, "Ah, yes, uh, okay," and then stood up and went to Wu Chen's side.

Brother-in-law, it's my dad on the phone.

Li Ruotai handed the phone to Wu Chen. Unable to get the answer himself, he brought up his father, Li Maoren.

This concludes the broadcast. We hope you'll continue listening!
