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's reaction was very strong; it couldn't have been weak. Although Li Ruobing didn't mind Wu Chen playing around with women and didn't interfere or let it affect him, three women every three days was going too far. If this continued, what would happen in the future? Would she be able to keep up with the consequences?

Li Ruobin knew that Wu Chen was very serious about women, and very responsible towards all the women he had.

After Su Qingying followed Wu Chen helped her seize power in Jinfu Group that controlled hundreds of billions of dollars in market value in a single day.

Wu Yurong followed Wu Chen, and Wu Chen made perfect arrangements for him when he went to Magic City, enabling him to earn tens of billions in just six months to a year.

Actually, Li Ruobing didn't dislike this kind of kindness towards women. In fact, it could be said that this was one of the things she admired about Wu Chen. After all, she was Wu Chen's woman, and his only publicly acknowledged girlfriend. Wu Chen was willing to take down the entire Ding Family for her.

But if Wu Chen has too many women and treats each of them that well, then Li Ruobin feels that it might be difficult for him to see Wu Chen every day in the future.

That's outrageous! Nobody plays like that. Aren't they afraid of exhausting themselves? They're so young, can they even handle it?

Li Ruobing was furious. She wasn't jealous, but she was angry because she felt Wu Chen had gone too far.

Women, you're finished, fine, but why did you bring them all back to the East Sea to raise them?

Li Ruobing even felt that Wu Chen was deliberately trying to annoy her again, because she had tricked him the night before he left and hadn't given him any money.

Why are you reacting so strongly? It's not like you at all.

Wu Chen spoke into his phone with a smile in his voice.

Can you please stop saying I don't look like myself?

Li Ruobing's tone was cold and angry. "My dear Mr. Wu, I don't care how you indulge yourself outside, but can you please stop being so indulgent? Bringing three women back every three days, don't I have any dignity?"

Li Ruobing was really angry. She even said something like, "Don't I have any pride?" This is not like her at all.

Zhuang Xiaodie curled up against Wu Chen, her body slightly turned to rest Wu Chen head on his arm. Her arm was loosely wrapped around Wu Chen's neck. As they whispered intimately in each Wu Chen's ears, he could hear the sounds coming from the phone. From this afternoon until now, he had heard Wu Chen make many phone calls, though he didn't know who they were all to. However, he could tell from Wu Chen's words that Wu Chen was calling his women, so he knew it wasn't surprising that Wu Chen had many women. It was quite normal for a wealthy young man like Wu Chen to have many women.

Zhuang Xiaodie didn't have any particular thoughts about this. He was well aware that he was only one of Wu Chen's women, and he was mentally prepared for that.

Originally, he didn't care about Zhuang Xiaodie's calls with Wu Chenyu's other women. He had learned about this in his training over the past year, so he understood that if you wanted to win the favor of important people and be pampered, you shouldn't try to play tricks on them. You had to be sensible, learn not to hear, and you could be a little coquettish, but you absolutely couldn't act recklessly.

But this time was different, because Zhuang Xiaodie could tell from the content and tone of Wu Chen and Li Ruobing's conversation that the woman talking to Wu Chen at this moment should be Wu Chen's wife or his official girlfriend, his main wife.

Li Ruobing was in a bad mood, and her words were cold and forceful, which Zhuang Xiaodie could sense, making her a little uneasy.

Zhuang Xiaodie didn't know who the other two women Wu Chen was taking were. Her primary concern was herself; she was going back to the East Sea with Wu Chen tomorrow, and she wondered if they would get beaten up.

Influenced by TV dramas and movies, Zhuang Xiaodie even started imagining herself going back with Wu Chen, only to be forced to kneel down and slapped by Wu Chen's wealthy family. She was terrified.

If she were truly bullied, Zhuang Xiaodie wouldn't know how to deal with it.

My dearest Miss Li, you must promise me you won't be jealous.

Wu Chen smiled and said again.

He was actually teasing Li Ruobing.

The situation was naturally not as Li Ruobing thought; only Zhuang Xiaodie was Wu Chen's woman.

The relationship between Wu Chen and He Shiqin is complicated, and He Shiqin is quite special.

If Li Ruobing knew that Wu Chen had brought back He Shiqin, Li Ruobing would definitely be extremely happy, and she might even take the initiative to build a good relationship with He Shiqin.

Because He Shiqin's experience was worthy of sympathy, and he was a key witness in the killing of Ding Ruilong, Wu Chen didn't tell him directly, but instead teased him.

What's wrong with me being jealous?

Can't I be jealous?

Li Ruobing, however, said that she didn't admit it, because she wasn't jealous. She said that her jealousy was intentional, hoping that Wu Chen would restrain himself in the future.

Are you jealous?

So, Miss Li, you're not being trustworthy? Have you forgotten what you lost to me?

Wu Chen laughed again.

Fine, punish me then, I don't care. I'll accept it even if you punish me when you come back. I'm just jealous, let me tell you, I'm very angry. Punishing you? How am I supposed to punish you? You better think about how to make me not angry.

You really want to punish me? Wait till you get back tomorrow, and see how I deal with you.

Wow, that's scary! They're saying they'll punish me again, Wu Chen said, deliberately exaggerating his tone.

Don't be so arrogant. Just wait and see if I dare to teach you a lesson when you get back.

Okay, I'm angry. I'm not talking to you anymore. Go and go to sleep with your sweetheart.

Li Ruobing hung up the phone after speaking. Zhuang Xiaodie didn't make a sound, but Li Ruobing could tell that Wu Zhen definitely had a woman with her at the moment, at least one.

After ending the call, Wu Chen smiled, put the phone away, glanced at the screen, and then placed it back on the cabinet.

Zhuang Xiaodie, who was holding Wu Chen, looked up and kissed Wu Chen's cheek. Wu Chen glanced at her, then slid down, pulled the blanket up a bit, and prepared to turn off the light and go to sleep.

Is Mr. Wu your wife?

Zhuang Xiaodie suddenly spoke up and asked in a low voice, her eyes blinking as she looked at Wu Chen, who was standing close to her, with a hint of unease in her large eyes.

Girlfriend?

Wu Chen turned his head and smiled, "Is he angry?"

Zhuang Xiaodie asked again in a low voice.

Wu Chen could tell what Zhuang Xiaodie was thinking from her expression, so he didn't explain Li Ruobin's specific situation to her in detail. She would find out after getting to know him better.

Are you scared?

Wu Chen asked with a smile, and Zhuang Xiaodie pursed her lips, then nodded gently and hummed in agreement, "Don't worry."

Wu Chen smiled and pinched Zhuang Xiaodie's cheek. "He won't do anything to you. I'm here for you."

Um.

Zhuang Xiaodie made another nasal sound, and without saying anything more, she hugged Wu Chen and snuggled into his Wu Chen, behaving very obediently.

Wu Chen kissed Zhuang Xiaodi on the forehead again, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

On July 19, 2020, Zhuang Xiaoli woke up at around 6 a. m. Because she had gone to bed early the night before, she didn't wake Wu Chen. She lay in Wu Chen's Wu Chen, tilting her head and blinking her big eyes as she looked at him. The more she looked at Wu Chen's profile, the more handsome he seemed.

Zhuang Xiaodi leaned against the railing and watched, thinking about many things, until 7 a. m. Wu Chen woke up, and the two of them got up immediately, washed up together, and got dressed together.

Zhuang Xiaodie even tied a tie for Wu Chen and brought him leather shoes, taking very good care of Wu Chen. She didn't eat breakfast and directly carried Zhuang Xiaodi's luggage, which she had already packed the previous afternoon, into the car. Then they set off to meet He Shiqin first. The meeting point was at the Dongpu District highway entrance.

Wu Chen arrived by car around 8 a. m. and saw He Shiqin's white Mercedes-Benz SUV already there, parked on the side of the road.

Wu Chen didn't stop the car. He got out, honked the horn to indicate that he wanted some snacks, and drove towards the highway toll station.

He Shexin followed Wu Chen's Mercedes-Benz S-Class in his car, taking the highway back to the East Sea.

Less than four hours later, around noon, the two cars exited the highway one after the other and then took the Ring Road Expressway to the north of the city.

Around 12:30 pm, we finally arrived at Prestige East Sea Residence.

Before driving into the residential area, Wu Chen saw several familiar cars parked on the roadside near the gate. He also recognized the people in the cars; they were Li Ruobing's bodyguards.

It's obvious that Li Ruobing is already inside.

Last night, he was very angry and was already at Wu Chen's house, waiting for Wu Chen to bring those three women home.

Yesterday, Wu Chen did call Su Qingying and Wu Yurong, but he didn't say exactly when he would arrive home; he only mentioned having dinner together that evening.

As for Li Ruobing, Wu Chen had considered yesterday whether to tell Li Ruobing in advance about bringing people back, since he didn't care whether he told other women or not.

The issue isn't whether they can manage Wu Chen, but rather that they simply don't have the right or the status to do so; only Li Ruobing does.

After much consideration, Wu Chen decided to tell him first, which is why she called him before going to bed.

It's not about preparing Li Ruobing mentally, but rather about getting him to meet He Shiqin as soon as possible; that's the most important thing.

The two cars entered the residential area one after the other and then went down into the underground parking garage.

A few minutes later, in the lobby First Floor the Villa, Li Ruobing, dressed in a traditional Chinese dress and as always with her dark hair straight, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed.

He wore a striking red lipstick and black stockings today, making him look particularly stylish. He didn't have the feel of a female CEO, but rather more like a cold and aloof Queen, mainly due to his expression and aura.

She sat there with her arms crossed, her face extremely cold, her gaze sharp, and her aura terrifying.

He wasn't actually that angry then; he had to pretend to be extremely angry.

He was consciously cultivating his emotions, deliberately adjusting his state to give Wu Chen a warning so that she would restrain Wu Chen later—a display of his womanly cunning.

Suddenly, a ding sound came from the stairwell, but not from the stairs, but from the elevator next to them.

This Villa has an elevator.

Li Ruobing immediately turned his head to look in that direction; he knew it must be Wu Chen returning.

It was almost time. The elevator doors opened, and Wu Chen stepped out first, followed by three women.

Li Ruobing suddenly stood up, walked a few steps in that direction in her high heels, and then her expression changed slightly.

Zhuang Xiaodie is young and beautiful, with an extremely eye-catching and stunning figure.

Although He Sheqin is not as young as Zhuang Xiaodie, she is more charming and looks to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. In addition, she has an amazing figure.

These two women are fine, which matches Li Ruobing's judgment.

The main problem was with the third one. She clearly looked like a little girl, a middle school girl, small and cute.

Li Ruobing didn't believe Wu Chen could be so twisted, so Li Ruobing expression changed. She realized she might have misunderstood something, or at least part of it.

Zhuang Xiaotie saw Li Ruobing but didn't dare to meet her gaze, instinctively.

She glanced at Wu Chen uneasily.

Li Ruobing noticed her look.

Li Ruobing could immediately tell that she was Wu Chen's mistress, no doubt about it.

Those eyes don't lie!

When did you arrive?

Wu Chen greeted Li Ruobing with a smile when he saw her, and then led the three of them inside.

One hour ago.

Li Ruobing remained expressionless and spoke in Bingbing, only stopping when he reached the four people.

His expression and aura were so intimidating that He Xinxin hid behind He Shiqin and refused to introduce him.

Li Ruobing crossed her arms and asked again, her eyes scanning Zhuang Xiaodie, He Shiqin, and He Xinxin.

Wu Chen smiled, turned his head to look around, and first gestured to the three of them.

Li Ruobing smiled and said, "My girlfriend, Li Ruobing."

Then she introduced Zhuang Xiaodi first.

Is this Zhuang Xiaodi?

Wu Chen gestured to Zhuang Xiaodie, who was feeling very uncomfortable and flustered. She had been immediately struck by Li Ruobin's striking beauty; in terms of appearance, neither was superior. However, in terms of presence, Zhuang Xiaodie felt a sense of dread. She didn't even dare greet Li Ruobing, fearing a slap in the face. Then, Wu Chen introduced her as He Xinxin, a middle school student who had come to the East Sea for fun and to learn painting from him.

Wu Chen then introduced He Xinxin, and finally introduced the woman standing to his left, He Shiqin, Xin Xin's mother.

Upon hearing the He Shiqin, Li Ruobing, who had been expressionless, changed his expression. He reacted quickly, then his eyes widened as he suddenly thought of many things and understood many things.

The fact that He Shiqin and Wu Chen came to the East Sea alone contains a huge amount of information. Wu Chen had told him about Ding Ruilong, Dong Yuantao, and He Shiqin, so Li Ruobing understood that He Shiqin was the only witness to Ding Ruilong killing Dong Yuantao. However, Wu Chen had not mentioned the money to him, nor had he mentioned that he had contacted He Shiqin. Therefore, Li Ruobing still did not know what Wu Chen was going to do in Magic City.

Afterwards, Wu Chen told him about his relationship with Gu Rui Bo, and all he knew was that this was very sudden.

Wu Chen spent three days in Magic City and brought back to the East Sea a woman who only existed in stories.

From the fact that He Shiqin was able to come to the East Sea with Wu Chen and meet with her directly, Li Ruobing could tell that the two had probably already reached an agreement, He Shiqin would testify.

Wu Chen even brought Ding Ruilong's illegitimate daughter back with him. He Shiqin betrayed Ding Ruilong by bringing her daughter with her, which was a complete disaster!

It took Li Ruobing several seconds to come to her senses. Her aura suddenly changed, and she smiled. The atmosphere, along with her smile, transformed from a cold winter into a spring full of blooming flowers.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss He!

Li Ruobing stepped forward and extended her hand. "Miss Li, oh, oh, oh, Miss Li, you're so beautiful."

He Shijin paused for a moment before quickly reaching out to shake hands with Li Ruobing, and even complimented Li Ruobing, saying, "You are beautiful too! Not only are you beautiful, but your daughter is also adorable, and she looks just like Miss He."

Li Ruobing spoke with a smile, glanced at He Xinxin, and even reached out to pat He Xinxin's head.

Just as Wu Chen expected, after Li Ruobing learned that it was He Shiqin, she tried to build a relationship with He Shiqin and acted very friendly. She had no hostility towards He Xinxin. Although she was Ding Ruirong's daughter, she had done nothing wrong, and neither had He Shiqin. Both of them deserved sympathy.

Because of Li Ruobing's many changes, He Xinxin was no longer so afraid. She looked up at her strangely and said, "Sister, you're so beautiful and so good at talking."

Li Ruobing smiled and gently pinched He Xinxin's cheek. "Why are you calling me 'sister'? Is she your teacher's girlfriend?"

How rude!

He Sheqin glared at his daughter, feigning a scolding.

Oh, Auntie is so pretty, she and the teacher look so good together!

He Xinxin argued.

It really can talk.

Li Ruobing smiled even more, touched He Xinxin's hair again, and then looked at Wu Chen. She took two steps toward Wu Chen and directly raised her hands to cup Wu Chen's face.

"Dear Li Ruobing," she said, and then kissed Wu Chen directly, right in front of the other three.

He Shexin reacted quickly by raising his hand, and Wu's daughter He Xinxin's eyes were drawn to hers, but Xin Xin clung to her mother's hand, wanting to see the little turtle reunited.

A kiss is normal; it only lasts a few seconds before they separate.

Li Ruobing moved very close to Wu Chen again, and said softly with a smile, "My dear Mr. Wu, you really always manage to surprise me." Her words were loaded with meaning.

Wu Chen smiled, then gave Li Ruobing a look, gesturing to the side with his eyes.

Li Ruobing understood Wu Chen's gaze. He felt it was necessary to give Wu Chen face, partly because he was in a better mood. Of course, Li Ruobing understood how important He Zheqin was.

Li Ruobing gave Wu Chen a look that was slightly reproachful and a little irritating.

Then Li Ruobing took two steps to Zhuang Xiaodie, who was standing to the side. Zhuang Xiaodie knew what Li Ruobing's attitude was on the phone yesterday, so even though Li Ruobing's expression was no longer cold, she was still afraid. She even regarded Li Ruobing's emotions as a smile hiding a knife. She didn't think Wu Chen could control Li Ruobing, otherwise Li Ruobing wouldn't have been so cold before.

When she saw Li Ruobing looking at her, Zhuang Xiaodie even subconsciously took a step back.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
