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.

Although Gu Ruibo wasn't very familiar with Wu Yurong, they had known each other for many years, and Gu Ruibo knew her quite well as the former East Sea's Top Beauty.

This understanding is one-way; Wu Yurong doesn't know him that well, but he knows that he's heard too much about Wu Yurong.

Wu Yurong is like a walking topic machine in the circle of wealthy people in East China. Wherever she goes, there will be some topics related to her, including some scandals.

Gu Ruibo's impression of Wu Yurong was that she was an ageless goddess with extremely high skills and abilities.

Over the years, countless billionaires have pursued Wei Rong, including some with immense wealth and connections that even Gu Rui Bo would treat with utmost respect. Yet, none of them succeeded.

In the world of billionaires, there are plenty of beautiful women, so being pretty alone doesn't mean much.

Wu Yurong is more than just beautiful; she is extraordinary and a true goddess.

What Gu Ruibo found most impressive about Wu Yurong was that no matter how powerful a person pursued Wu Yurong, they could never win her Wu Yurong, yet they would never turn against her. Instead, they would maintain a good friendship with Wu Yurong and even become business partners.

Wu Yurong doesn't seem to like men, well, not that he likes women, but he doesn't like either.

Therefore, Gu Ruibo firmly believed that he had misheard. It was impossible for Wu Yurong to say something like "Do you miss me?" to Wu Chen. She would never say such a thing to any man.

The fact that Wu Chen could summon Wu Yurong with a single phone call suggests that the two have a close working relationship and it was likely pre-arranged.

Thinking of this, Gu Rui Bo couldn't help but look at Wu Chen with even greater respect. For someone so young to have such a close working relationship with Wu Yuerong, or rather, to actually pull Wu Yurong into the game to work together against Ding Ruilong, and for Wu Yurong to agree to it, was incredibly impressive. It was a method that was hard to even imagine.

It's here!

Wu Chen greeted Wu Yurong with a smile and then gestured to the chair next to Wu Yurong.

Gu Rui Bo stood up, but Wu Chen did not.

Gu Rui Bo has already determined that Wu Chen and Wu Yurong have a close relationship, so it's understandable that he doesn't need these unfounded arguments.

So it's the Second Young Master Gu!

As Wu Yurong entered, she looked at Gu Rui Bo with a slight surprise, but her voice remained gentle and sweet.

Today, Wu Yurong wore a white jumpsuit, the hem of which reached her knees, and it was a very loose style.

White can make you look heavier, but on Wu Yurong, it looks just right, giving her an ethereal look.

The receptionist closed the door from the outside.

Mr. Gu, it's been a long time. Ms. Wu, it's been a long time.

After walking to the table, Wu Yuerong shook hands with Gu Rui Bo. After exchanging a few polite words, Wu Yuerong pulled up her skirt and sat down in the chair next to Wu Chen, glancing at Wu Chen with a sweet smile.

Ms. Wu, have some tea.

Gu Ruibo poured tea for Wu Yurong before sitting down, and Wu Yurong thanked him.

The two were basically equals, the kind of equal relationship where Gu Rui Bo would never offend Wu Yuerong unless absolutely necessary, and Wu Yuerong would never offend Gu Rui Bo unless absolutely necessary. However, since they were just guests, Gu Rui Bo politely poured tea for Wu Yurong. We were all just friends, so I'll be frank with you.

Wu Chen smiled and said very frankly.

Before getting straight to the point, Wu Chen had already laid it all out with Gu Ruibo, so now that Wu Yurong had arrived, there was no need for further pleasantries; they could start discussing business directly.

Gu Rui Bo knew that the Ding Family was going to get into trouble, but Gu Rui Bo wasn't sure if Ding Family was certain. Wu Chen hadn't told him everything either, but that didn't matter. Gu Rui Bo was Ding Ruilong's business rival, so he was willing to take any opportunity.

This is what Wu Chen meant when he said, "Let's see if he dares."

He certainly dared to do it. Even if he failed, he wouldn't suffer much loss, and if he succeeded, the benefits he could gain would be more than all of Gu Rui Bo's current assets.

Wu Chen's target is not just Ding Ruilong, but the entire Ding Family. He's dividing the spoils left by the collapse of the Ding Family, and Sister Rong will withdraw her investment from industries related to the Ding Family.

Then, Wu Chen said.

Gu Ruibo noticed that Wu Chen addressed Wu Yurong as "Sister Rong".

If Wu Yurong and Li Ruobing are considered equals, then Wu Chen calling her that is perfectly acceptable.

Of course, any man Wu Yurong agrees to call Sister Rong is acceptable.

How close is her relationship with Wu Yurong?

What he didn't know was that it was also the first time Wu Yurong had heard Wu Chen call her that, and she found it quite novel.

An hour later, the general situation was mostly discussed. Of course, there were still details and specific operational aspects to be discussed later, which might even require several months of planning.

Wu Chen didn't worry about what happened after that.

After Wu Yurong and Gu Ruibo joined forces, they could negotiate on their own.

It's almost 7 p. m., let's have dinner together, Mr. Wu.

Ms. Wu, it's already this late.

After glancing at his watch, Gu Rui Bo said, "You decide."

Wu Cheng smiled slightly.

Lao Cheng, I need to make a call and ask two more people to bring the documents over.

Gu Ruibo stood up, and seeing that Wu Chen and Wu Yurong also stood up, he gestured and said, "You two sit down first, sit down, sit down. I'm going to make a phone call and go to the Restroom, and then we'll set off."

Wu Chen was about to get up, sat up again and smiled.

Ah, no rush.

Gu Ruibo took out his phone and quickly went out.

Only Wu Chen and Wu Yurong remained in the Private Dining Room, and they quietly found me a partner.

Wow, that's incredibly efficient!

Wu Yurong turned to look at Wu Chen, smiling gently, her eyes full of affection, and asked sweetly, "Aren't you satisfied?"

Wu Chen smiled and asked in return.

I'm very satisfied, extremely satisfied.

As Wu Yurong spoke, she leaned closer to Wu Chen, her voice soft and sweet as she asked, "How do you want me to thank you?"

My little husband!

Um.

As he spoke, he kissed Wu Chuan on the corner of his mouth. "No need for thanks. This was part of my plan all along. You just happened to be lucky to meet me at this time."

After Wu Chen finished speaking, he laughed and said, "Don't lie to me. You did this for me, and you still won't admit it."

Wu Yurong snorted, saying he felt more in love than Li Ruobing did.

It's strange, he's married and divorced, and his daughter is already quite grown up, yet Wu Chen is his first love.

It depends on how you interpret it.

Wu Chen laughed and said, "You did this all for me?"

Wu Yurong repeated it again, her tone almost coquettish, because there was an element of excitement in her voice.

Given Wu Yurong Gu Rui Bo's background, it was unexpected that he would become his partner.

If Wu Yurong were to find the right people himself, even though he knew some incredibly powerful figures, Wu Yurong could only ever get by in terms of scraps when collaborating with them.

The collaboration with Gu Ruibo was different.

Wu Yurong hugged Wu Chen's arm and leaned closer to talk to Wu Chen. Wu Chen then placed his hand on her thigh and pinched it through her skirt.

Wu Yurong leaned close to Wu Chen's ear, turned sideways, and hooked her arm around Wu Chen neck, whispering, "Don't you plan to let Gu Rui Bo know about our relationship?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Chen. He didn't want to hide it; he felt it was unnecessary, as he was at a significant disadvantage compared to Li Ruobing. However, he wouldn't sabotage Wu Chen's plans. It wasn't that he didn't want Wu Chen to know, but there was no need to spell it out. It wouldn't matter if Wu Chen knew.

Wu Chen smiled.

Yeah?

Aren't you afraid that if word gets out, it will affect your relationship?

Wu Yurong's smile broadened, and she asked in a low voice.

Just then, with a creak, Gu Rui Bo pushed open the door and said, "Mr. Wu, I'm already here." His voice stopped abruptly as he saw Wu Yurong whispering in Wu Chen's ear. Although Wu Yurong reacted quickly, releasing Wu Chen and sitting up straight immediately after the door opened, he wasn't in such a hurry and naturally let go of Wu Chen and sat up straight.

Therefore, Gu Rui Bo could see it very clearly. He not only saw Wu Yurong whispering in Wu Chen's ear, but from his angle, he could also see Wu Chen's hand on Wu Yurong's leg, which Wu Chen naturally removed after he opened the door and spoke.

He just opened his mouth.

Gu Rui Bo seemed to choke, his voice suddenly stopped, and his expression froze completely.

It couldn't be that he was seeing things. Gu Rui Bo hadn't even gone to the restroom yet. He made a phone call in the Private Dining Room after leaving the private room. Because there was another situation, he turned back to open the door to explain, and that's when he saw something he shouldn't have seen.

After getting into the car, Wu Yuerong smoothed her hair, calmly and with a gentle smile, she glanced at the door again and asked, "Boss Gu, what's wrong?"

Ah?

Gu Rui Bo paused for a moment before replying naturally, "Oh, it's nothing. I just called Lao Chen and the others. The materials need to be organized, so I might be a little late."

As Gu Rui Bo spoke, his eyes scanned Wu Yurong and Wu Chen.

He certainly understands social etiquette; even if he's emotionally charged about something he accidentally stumbled upon, he can pretend nothing happened and not remember it.

It's okay, Wu Chenyu.

Gu Rui Bo said something.

Okay, let's head out first. Let's not just wait here. Let's go to the restaurant and order our food.

Although Gu Rui Bo tried his best to control himself, he still revealed a slightly unnatural look in his eyes as he glanced at the two of them.

Cheng Wu Chen nodded, and Wu Chen and Wu Yurong both got up and walked out, while Gu Rui Bo made way for them in the corridor.

When Wu Yurong came to Magic City this time, she brought a lot of bodyguards and assistants, but only the female bodyguard Chu Yan followed her upstairs.

Chu Yan didn't go into the Private Dining Room; she just lingered in the corridor waiting. When she saw the boss come out, she quickly walked over, and the group headed towards the elevator.

I need to use the Restroom, Mr. Wu, you can go ahead.

Gu Ruibo made a gesture and then quickly walked towards the Restroom.

Just a minute later, Gu Rui Bo came out and returned to the corridor. He saw Wu Chenyu, Wu Yurong, and the other bodyguards still standing in the corridor at the elevator door. They had called the elevator over, but it hadn't gone down yet; they were waiting for Gu Rui Bo.

Gu Rui Bo quickened his pace, and the group entered the elevator together. The elevator doors closed, and an eerie silence filled the room as the elevator descended.

From Deck's perspective, he should have said something; he shouldn't have let the conversation fall silent. But Gu Rui Bo just didn't say anything. He didn't have the energy; his mind was completely distracted.

Even in the elevator, she kept glancing at Wu Chen and Wu Yurong, seemingly unintentionally, still unable to believe it. How could this be?

How could Wu Yurong have that kind of relationship with Wu Chen? He doesn't even look at countless billionaire bosses, so how did Wu Chen manage to win him over?

Gu Rui Bo fell into deep self-doubt, and the more he thought about it, the more he wondered if he had just misread it.

That's impossible, Mr. Wu. It's so obvious.

Gu Rui Bo seemed to suddenly notice something, his expression immediately turned extremely strange, and he couldn't help but speak up.

Ah?

What's wrong?

Wu Chen turned to look at Gu Rui Bo and smiled.

Gu Ruibo gestured with his hand, pointing to Wu Chen's mouth and then to his own, indicating to Wu Chen that there was a location, and it seemed like someone had delivered something.

He's not mentally challenged; of course he recognized what it was, he just didn't want to say it directly.

It's a very faint lipstick mark, just a tiny bit.

Earlier in the Private Dining Room, Wu Yurong kissed Wu Chen once, a very light kiss, so it didn't leave a clear mark. You wouldn't notice it unless you paid close attention, but you would notice it if you looked closely. Gu Rui Bo was certain that Wu Chen didn't have this mark on the corner of his mouth before, but it appeared in the short time he left the Private Dining Room.

Who kissed him?

Of course it was Wu Yurong who kissed him; even the lipstick color matches.

Gu Rui Bo fell into a state of self-doubt again, feeling confused and unable to believe him.

But at a banquet, he witnessed firsthand how a powerful figure who was on equal footing with his father fawned over Wu Yirong.

Despite his rude personality, he acted like a gentleman in front of Wu Yurong, with a constant smile and polite demeanor.

Gu Rui Bo had also heard some influential figures talk about Wu Yurong in private, praising him highly and saying nothing bad about him. They said he was amazing, both in business and in his interpersonal relationships.

Wu Yurong is not only a top performer, but also a business genius.

Gu Rui Bo even heard a prominent figure of his uncle's generation say that if Wu Yurong were willing to marry him, he would be willing to divorce his wife immediately.

I'm totally smitten with Wu Yurong, oh my god!

But no matter who it is, no matter what anyone is willing to do for Wu Yurong, it's useless. Wu Yurong will not let anyone have it, and she will never offend anyone. That's always been the case.

This is a woman with frighteningly powerful methods, so how did she end up with 22-year-old Wu Chen?

Gu Ruibo didn't think Wu Yurong was dating a young Wu Yurong. In his opinion, Wu Yurong was more than good enough for any man.

Upon hearing Gu Ruibo's reminder, Wu Chen raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, then looked at his fingers, which were somewhat red.

On the other side, Wu Yurong took out a tissue from her handbag and handed it to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen took the tissue, wiped his mouth, and then his fingers, but it didn't seem to be completely clean.

Wu Yurong saw this, immediately took the tissue from Wu Chen's hand, and then raised her hand to wipe Wu Chen's mouth.

Is there anything else?

Wu Chen then turned to Wu Yurong and asked Wu Yurong to look at the corner of his mouth.

Okay, that's all.

Wu Yurong smiled gently and replied sweetly.

Gu Ruibo remained bewildered and doubtful, feeling as if he were dreaming, as if it were all unreal.

The more I learned about Wu Yuerong, the more unreal it seemed.

Just how amazing is Wu Chen? And why?

Gu Ruibo was beginning to genuinely believe Li Ruotai's words.

Wu Chen can be described as terrifying. A man who can handle Wu Yurong must be extraordinary and unique, and terrifying.

Twenty minutes later, the group arrived at a Chinese restaurant called Jade Treasure Pavilion, a Cantonese restaurant that ranks among the top three even in an international metropolis like Magic City. They went upstairs, and the Private Dining Room on the third floor had already been booked on the way there.

The group arrived on the third floor, walked through the corridor, and were heading towards the Private Dining Room when Wu Chen's phone suddenly rang. Everyone paused for a moment, and Wu Chen took out his phone to see that it was Li Ruobing calling. He answered, "Hello, Ruobing."

Wu Chen's casual address of "Ruobing" made Gu Rui Bo tense.

He thought about it all the way there, analyzing it in his mind, and finally concluded that Wu Chen and Wu Yurong were indeed in that kind of relationship, but the two would not have any intimate behavior in public, so they must be keeping it a secret from people, at least from Li Ruobing.

Therefore, Gu Rui Bo became nervous. If Li Ruobing found out about the relationship between Wu Yurong and Wu Chen, given Li Ruobing's personality, Gu Ruibo felt that not only would the two women start fighting, but the business he had just discussed would also be seriously affected.

Still busy?

Aren't you going to talk to me?

What are you going to Magic City for?

A Tai knew all this, but he didn't tell me.

Li Ruobin asked Wu Chen.

I'm still busy, I'll talk to you later.

Wu Chen laughed.

It's already past 7 pm, what are you busy with, woman?

Li Ruobing asked again, with a hint of teasing.

Was that Miss Li calling?

Suddenly, Wu Yurong, who was standing next to Wu Chen, spoke up and gently asked him a question.

Li Ruobing fell silent immediately, and Gu Ruibo's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Wu Yurong, his heart pounding in his chest.

You knew it was Li Ruobing, yet you still dared to speak suddenly, as if you were afraid Li Ruobing wouldn't know?

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