Show Him Every Respect!
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. Your name is Zhuang Xiaodie?
Li Ruobing stopped and looked directly at Zhuang Xiaodie, asking.
Right.
Zhuang Xiaodie was somewhat hesitant to meet Li Ruobing's gaze.
How old are you?
Li Ruobing asked again.
21 years old.
Zhuang Xiaodie replied.
Hmm, you're still a little girl. It's nice to meet you.
As Li Ruobing spoke, she surprisingly extended her hand with a smile, paused slightly, and addressed her as "sister" with a somewhat strange expression.
Zhuang Xiaodie was also stunned. After a moment of reaction, she quickly reached out and shook hands with Li Ruobing.
Sister Li, it's a pleasure to meet you too.
He was almost speechless; in truth, he was still completely bewildered.
After Li Ruobing let go of his hand and turned away, he gave Wu Chen a strange look.
I could clearly hear Li Ruobing was very angry on the phone yesterday, so why did she call him "little sister"?
Does this count as approval?
The wealthy person acknowledges the lesser one.
The change was in Li Ruobing, but Zhuang Xiaodie was observing Wu Chen. The most basic reason she could tell was that Li Ruobing's attitude had changed because of Mr. Wu.
If a woman is willing to tolerate her man having other women, it must be because that man is unique.
But what just happened?
Nothing happened, how could things change so suddenly?
Zhuang Xiaodie was unaware of He Shiqin's identity, so naturally he couldn't make sense of the logic.
Li Ruobin himself was able to figure things out; with his intelligence, he could even see that Wu Chen was playing him for a fool, causing him to fluctuate wildly.
Even though he saw through it all, Li Ruobin now felt quite willing. What he liked most about Wu Chen was that Wu Chen was strong enough and had an unparalleled grasp of people's hearts.
Because she had seen He Shiqin, Li Ruobing's mood had genuinely improved, so she showed her magnanimity to Wu Chen and give Wu Chen face.
Li Ruobing had never challenged Wu Chen in front of others before, and he had never shown Wu Chen any respect. Today, he was only pretending to be very angry, wanting to play with Wu Chen, but he didn't win the game.
Even though Wu Chen couldn't win the game, he was still happy, as he was willing to give Wu Chen more face in front of outsiders.
Come, come, sit here and rest for a bit. You must be tired after driving all this way.
Li Ruobing turned around and gestured for them to sit on the sofa.
After four or five hours of continuous driving, whether you're driving or riding in a car, you're bound to feel tired.
Everyone sat around the coffee table, some naked. He Xinxin naturally sat with her mother He Shiqin, while Wu Chen sat wherever he pleased. Zhuang Xiaodi, even in front of Li Ruobing, didn't dare sit next to Wu Chen.
Moreover, on the way to the East Sea, Wu Chen reminded him in the car not to let He Xinxin find out about their relationship.
Wu Chen has many women, but apart from Li Ruobing, He Xinxin must not know about the others, as it would set a bad example for the child.
So Zhuang Xiaodie sat down on a sofa chair.
Please have a seat. I'll wash some fruit for you.
As Li Ruobing spoke, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Miss Li, it's no trouble at all.
He Shiqin said something that sounded a little embarrassed.
Li Ruobing was busy as soon as she arrived, and Li Ruobing didn't seem like the type of person who would do this kind of work.
It's alright, Miss Xie, please have a seat.
Li Ruobing turned around, said something, and went to the kitchen.
The refrigerator was filled with fruit, and not only fruit, but also various other ingredients, all of which Li Ruobing had bought and brought over more than an hour earlier.
His original plan was to give Wu Chen a hard time so that Wu Chen would behave better in the future.
Then he'll cook for himself that evening.
My last cooking attempt was a failure, simply because I was inexperienced.
This time he was prepared. He not only planned to cook for himself that evening, but also planned his menstrual cycle for the day, since his period had ended yesterday.
However, plans can change quickly, and the three women Wu Chen brought back included He Shiqin and He Xinxin.
Li Ruobin's mindset was changed; he even felt that he could cook lunch for He Shiqin himself.
Li Ruobing entered the kitchen. "Teacher, your girlfriend is so cool and beautiful!"
He Xinxin was the first to speak at the coffee table. Wu Chen's praise of Li Ruobing was probably sincere, but her sudden initiative to say this was naturally a way of currying favor with Wu Chen, Wu Chen now truly had her completely under his control.
Wu Chen looked at He Xinxin, smiled, and said, "I'll go help."
Zhuang Xiaodie suddenly spoke up, glanced at Wu Chen, then stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Li Ruobin's kindness emboldened him, and he also had a desire to please Li Ruobing.
In the kitchen, Li Ruobing had just taken the fruit out of the refrigerator when Zhuang Xiaodie came in.
She saw Li Ruobing looking uneasy, but still forced herself to walk closer.
Li Ruobing forced a smile, pretending to be natural.
Miss Li, let me help you.
Zhuang Xiaodie approached the path.
Li Ruobing glanced at Zhuang Xiaodie, handed her the bag of grapes, and took out apples from another bag. The two of them sat down together and started writing down the fruit.
When I spoke with Wu Chen last night, did you sleep with him last night?
Li Ruobing spoke, asking softly.
Didn't you see Zhuang Xiaodie is?
Yes.
Zhuang Xiaodie dared not deny it, and cautiously admitted it.
Li Ruobing didn't say anything more; she was just confirming something.
Sister, I'm taking my medication.
Zhuang Xiaodie suddenly spoke up, explaining somewhat nervously.
Um.
After observing her reaction, Li Ruobing finally understood what Zhuang Xiaodie was talking about.
Is it about the possibility of getting pregnant?
Zhuang Xiaodie directly stated that he would take the medicine; he really does watch a lot of palace dramas and is very good at imagining things.
That's not what I meant.
Li Ruobing said something, her brows furrowing slightly, but a smile she couldn't help but smile about.
Zhuang Xiaodi's excessive nervousness is almost comical.
Am I scary?
Li Ruobing asked another question.
Yes.
No, no, no.
Zhuang Xiaodie nodded first, then immediately shook her head.
I'm so nervous.
Li Ruobing didn't say anything more. The kitchen was quiet. She quickly washed the fruit, plated it, and took it out.
No one has eaten yet, right? Let's not eat out. There's food in the fridge, I'll cook.
Li Ruobing then spun something on the coffee table, displaying the proper demeanor of a female director and giving Wu Chen ample face.
Zhuang Xiaodie didn't know her identity, but He Shiqin certainly did.
After saying this, Li Ruobing turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Miss Li, really?
He Shiqing stood up, intending to be polite, but before he could finish speaking, he changed the subject and said, "How about I help you?"
I couldn't possibly accept that; guests are always welcome.
Li Ruobing turned around and smiled.
It's okay, I'm at home, I cook every day.
He Shixin smiled.
Li Ruobing didn't stand on ceremony with him anymore, and the two went to the kitchen one after the other.
Zhuang Xiaodi, who had just sat down, stood up upon seeing this, intending to help as well.
At this moment, Wu Chen spoke up, glancing at Zhuang Xiaodie with a smile, "Xiaodie, have some fruit."
She gave Zhuang Xiaodie a look, signaling her to stop Zhuang Xiaodie from going back to the kitchen.
Wu Chen knew that Li Ruobing and He Zhiqin would talk in the kitchen, and their conversations would be quite unusual.
Before long, all the vegetables in the refrigerator were taken out of the kitchen. Li Ruobing was washing the vegetables, He Shiqin was chopping them. At the same time, the two were chatting, and they had been chatting for quite a while.
How long does Miss He plan to stay in the East Sea?
Li Ruobing asked again.
Ah, I'm not sure, it depends on Mr. Wu's arrangements.
He Shiqin said.
You slept with Wu Cheng?
Li Ruobing asked again.
This question came out of the middle of a casual conversation, quite suddenly.
The room fell silent. He Shiqin almost caught him; he trembled and abruptly turned to look at Li Ruobing.
After washing another batch of vegetables, Li Ruobing turned off the tap and glanced at He Shiqin.
He was calm and composed.
This calm and composed demeanor left He Shiqin completely bewildered and shocked.
He Shiqin never expected Li Ruobing to ask such a question, let alone be so direct in asking how she could have figured it out.
Seeking security and for other complex reasons, He Shiqin took the initiative to sleep with Wu Chen. He felt that this was a handle, a handle that Wu Chen dared not let Li Ruobing know.
One thing worth mentioning is that He Zhiqin was unaware of the relationship between Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaodie because Wu Chen had instructed Zhuang Xiaodie beforehand not to let He Xinxin know about their relationship. Therefore, Zhuang Xiaodie kept her distance from Wu Chen throughout the entire process.
He Shiqing obviously wouldn't understand why Li Ruobing called Zhuang Xiaodie" sister." She was a bit older, so calling her "sister" wouldn't be a problem.
He Xinxin wouldn't notice, and neither would He Shiqin.
Therefore, He Shiqin has never changed his judgment, nor should he have any reason to.
Li Ruobing asked him in a very relaxed and casual tone whether he had slept with Wu Chen, and after asking, her expression did not change; she remained calm and indifferent.
Under Li Ruobin's gaze, He Zhiqin, bewildered and shocked, was speechless. His expression unconsciously became unnatural, and he began to feel nervous.
To say she wasn't afraid would be a lie. As a core member of the Li Family, a family that was a perfect match for Ding Runlong, Li Ruobing Li Ruobing no idea how she would deal with He Shiqi if she wanted to take revenge.
Looks like he overslept.
Li Ruobing added.
He made a direct judgment; what was previously a guess was now a certainty.
Li Ruobin's suspicions were not without reason.
He Shiqin's looks are undeniably stunning, and she also has an amazing figure, while Wu Chen is known for his love of fun.
Now, through He Shiqi's unnatural expression and hesitation, Li Ruobing directly confirmed that, "Miss Li, things aren't as you think. Mr. Wu and I, actually, He Sheqing tried to explain, but he stumbled and didn't know how."
They've already slept together, there's nothing more to explain, right?
Li Ruobing looks at He Shiqin.
He Shiqin immediately fell silent.
It's okay.
Li Ruobing added, and then smiled.
He Shiqin's eyes widened in shock, stunned once again. He had already sensed that Li Ruobin's attitude was off, but Li Ruobing could actually say it was okay so directly, and even laugh. So open-minded and generous. Wu Chen has plenty of women. Although I am his girlfriend, I can't control him, and I'm too lazy to care.
Li Ruobing's tone carried a hint of helplessness; it wasn't something he would normally say. He would only tell He Shiqin that it was intentional because he didn't want her to worry about retaliation.
Li Ruobin certainly wouldn't retaliate against him, but he was afraid that He Shiqin would think that way, which could cause trouble. As the only witness to Ding Ruilong's dirty secrets, he was quite important. So Li Ruobing deliberately acted as if Wu Chen was helpless, couldn't control it, and didn't care, just to put He Shiqin at ease.
Yes, I'm sorry, Miss Li, actually Mr. Wu and I only had sex that morning.
Yes, it was me. It was my fault. It was me who took the initiative.
He Shiqin was still a little nervous.
She took all the Wu Chen upon herself.
I said it's okay.
Li Ruobin looked at He Shiqin and said again, his tone somewhat helpless.
You don't need to apologize. There's no woman Wu Chen can't sleep with, as long as he wants to. I blame you, but is it really okay?
He Shiqin still couldn't believe it. Li Ruobing smiled at him and then said, "It's okay, let's cook!"
Oh, by the way, Miss He, on what day did you and Wu Chen finalize your agreement?
How did the talks go?
Actively changing the subject?
Just yesterday morning.
He Shiqing said that he not only gave a general account of what happened yesterday morning, but also talked about how Wu Chen contacted him and the tutoring incident. He dared not deny that he confessed everything honestly in a state of guilt.
The two women washed, chopped, cooked, and chatted. He Shiqin gradually relaxed. She could tell that Li Ruobing really didn't mind and seemed to genuinely have no way to deal with Wu Chen. She couldn't control Wu Chen's womanizing, which she found unbelievable.
But that's the reality. While the two women were cooking, Wu Chen wasn't idle either. He turned on the TV and watched for a while, then pulled Zhuang Xiaodie to the parking lot to move their luggage.
However, Zhuang Xiaodie's luggage, He Shiqin and He Xinxin will not be staying here; there are other arrangements, mainly because it would be very inconvenient for He Xinxin to stay here.
On the second floor, Wu Chenyu and Zhuang Xiaodi carried all the luggage up and helped tidy it up. He Xinxin, who had been watching TV, also came up and is now wandering around.
Because Wu Chen arranged a guest room for Zhuang Xiaodi, He Xinxin naturally didn't sense anything was wrong. She just assumed he was a friend of her teacher who was going to stay at her teacher's house for a while. After all, she had already met Wu Chen's respectable girlfriend, Li Ruobing, so no wild guesses would pop into He Xinxin's little head.
More than an hour later, it was almost 2 p. m., and lunch was finally served. The five of us ate together, and the meal consisted of eight dishes and a soup, which was quite a feast.
The atmosphere during the meal was very pleasant; we just chatted casually.
During dinner, Li Ruobing asked Zhuang Xiaodie about her studies and He Xinxin about learning to paint in front of Wu Chen. Later, she also mentioned that He Shiqin wanted to rent a house. Li Ruobing then directly said that she had a house, a vacant Villa in the north of the city, not far from East Sea Splendor.
After making some speculations, He Sheqin said that the rent would be remitted to Li Ruobing, and that was the end of it.
Actually, he had already discussed it with Li Ruobing in the kitchen. Before the meal, Wu Chen had also gone into the kitchen to tell the two of them how to arrange things. It was just an act for He Xinxin's benefit; the truth had to be kept from him.
The meal ended at 3:30 pm. Zhuang Xiaodie offered to do the dishes, so Wu Chen, Li Ruobing, and He Sheqin stayed behind for the time being. He Xinxin left with them and went directly to Li Ruobing's vacant Villa in the north of the city.
More than three hours later, it was already night. Around 7 p. m., in the "Blossoms in Prosperity" private Private Dining Room on the third floor of Mingzhen Louyue Restaurant in the Central District East Sea.
Wearing a cheongsam and with alluring makeup, Wu Yurong sat alone in the Private Dining Room, scrolling through her phone.
Wu Chen came back today. He called Wu Chen around 4 pm, and Wu Chen told him that he was with Li Ruobing and had arranged a time and place for dinner.
Wu Yurong arrived, having prepared two hours in advance and dressed up meticulously for a long time.
In the corridor outside, Su Qingying led her mother upstairs, followed by two bodyguards, straight to the Private Dining Room at Blossoms in Prosperity.
Upon reaching the door, Su Qingying paused briefly and glanced at Chu Yin, the female bodyguard guarding the Chu Yin.
She vaguely remembered seeing this female bodyguard before, but couldn't immediately recall which boss she belonged to.
Chu Yan did know Su Qingying, but she didn't know if it was arranged with her boss.
Whether you know it or not, there's no need to stop her; Su Qingying's status and position make it impossible for her to be a bad person.
Su Qingying only glanced at Chu Yan before pushing the door open and going inside. He stopped abruptly after taking just one step in when he saw Wu Yurong, Wu Yurong also looked up at him.
Ms. Wu.
Su Jingying was slightly taken aback. He took a step back, looked up at the room name again, and thought he had gone to the wrong room.
He and Wu Chen had arranged to have dinner together that evening, a very private affair where no outsiders would be present.
It's Aunt Wu.
Mu Qingqing whispered something. She also knew Su Jingying, and then confirmed the room name. It was correct.
Then she suspected she might have misremembered, so she looked into the room again, smiled at Wu Yurong, and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Wu, I might have gone to the wrong room. I'll call and ask. Sorry to bother you."
As Su Qingying spoke, she was about to close the door from the outside.
No, you've come to the right place, Miss Su.
Wu Yurong spoke at this moment, looking at Su Qingying, her voice as gentle and sweet as ever.
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
