Life in Perfect Harmony
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," narrated by Wang Xiaomo and written by Sang Ze.
As Wu Chen walked towards the Restroom, he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his coat. He walked slowly, casually draping his coat over the back of a chair and tossing his tie aside.
Soon, Wu Chen opened the Restroom door and went inside.
What are you doing?
Li Ruobing's voice came from the Restroom.
Bath cup.
Wu Chen turned around with a smile on his face; the night wind was somewhat noisy.
At 7:00 AM on July 20, 2020, Wu Chen didn't wake up and didn't wake up at all. His biological clock didn't work because he had only fallen asleep two hours earlier and hadn't been able to sleep before, so Li Ruobing wouldn't let him sleep.
Wu Chen was extremely exhausted. The last time he was this tired was when he stayed overnight at Wu Yurong's house, and this time he was even more exhausted.
Li Ruobing is inherently strong and domineering. She has always wanted to surpass Wu Chen, especially after they started dating. She sees love as a war between a man and a woman, and she wants to take the initiative, but she has never succeeded.
Last night, he launched a full-scale counterattack against Wu Chen.
Five hours later, around noon, Wu Chen finally woke up.
Staring at the ceiling, Wu Chen blinked, and a subtle smile slowly crept onto his lips.
A new day has begun.
Not only that, Wu Chen also had a completely new experience last night.
He slept with Li Ruobing hundreds of times in the Reincarnation, but he only obtained Li Ruobing's body; it was just a normal sexual encounter.
Last night was different; it was completely different from the cycle of Reincarnation.
First, you win Li Ruobing's heart, then you win Li Ruobing body; that's the ultimate harmony of life.
As Wu Chen was thinking, he turned his head to look at his side. Li Ruobing was lying in his arms, her hair disheveled, slightly curled up, leaning against him on her side.
She was still fast asleep, with traces of blood and tears at the corners of her eyes.
Even the strongest woman has moments of tears.
Wu Chen moved slightly, then turned over very gently, facing Li Ruobing.
He observed Li Ruobing's face for a moment, then raised his hand and gently stroked Li Ruobing cheek.
Li Ruobing's skin is truly beautiful, fair with a rosy glow, and seemingly delicate enough to be broken with a touch.
Today, Li Ruobing looks somewhat different from before; she exudes a more feminine charm.
This is what it looks and feels like when it's in boiled water.
After watching Li Ruobing for a while, Wu Chen got up and gently withdrew his arm.
Li Ruobing seemed to sense something in her sleep and subconsciously turned over, but did not wake up.
He wasn't woken up because he was too tired.
Wu Chen went to the Restroom to wash up, then came out to get dressed. By the time Wu Chen was fully dressed on a chair in the bedroom, Li Ruobing was still asleep, lying on her side covered by a blanket.
It's not that Wu Chen didn't make a fuss; there was always some noise involved.
Li Ruobing was really exhausted, so Wu Chen didn't disturb him. He left the bedroom and went downstairs. He smelled the aroma of food, looked around the living room, and even glanced towards the dining room.
He could see two plates of freshly cooked dishes already on the restaurant table, and he could hear noises coming from the kitchen.
Wu Chen walked over, stopped at the kitchen door, looked inside, and smiled. Zhuang Xiaodie, wearing an apron, was cooking.
Wu Chen had tasted Zhuang Xiaodie's cooking; it was excellent. He had undergone a year of special training and had specifically learned how to cook to win a man's heart through his stomach.
Mr. Wu, you're awake?
I wanted to finish making it before calling you guys.
Hearing the noise, Zhuang Xiaodi glanced at the door and smiled, saying, "You've worked hard."
Wu Chen, hands in his pockets, sized up Zhuang Xiaodi and smiled, saying, "Mr. Wu, what are you saying?"
Zhuang Xiaodie's voice had a slightly coquettish quality to it. "It's just cooking, what's the big deal about it being hard work? It's all part of my job."
Did you go out to buy groceries?
Wu Chen asked another question with a smile.
Yes, I went out this morning.
Zhuang Xiaodie looked back and saw that vegetables were being stir-fried in the pot.
Wu Chen walked into the kitchen with a smile, stopped next to Zhuang Xiaolie and observed for a moment. On the long bank opposite the stove, there were various ingredients that hadn't been cooked yet: chives, oysters, wood ear mushrooms, sea cucumbers, yams, and ribs. Something felt strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
Wu Chen looked into the pot again and saw that Zhuang Xiaodie was stir-frying pork kidneys, which are also known as pork kidneys.
What's so strange about this meal? It's got chives, kidneys, oysters, sea cucumbers, and all those legendary kidney-tonifying ingredients. Zhuang Xiaodie clearly didn't buy it randomly.
He needs to give Wu Chen some nourishment.
Snap!
Wu Chen suddenly patted Zhuang Xiaodie on the back.
Zhuang Xiaodie seemed startled because Wu Chen's attack was so sudden. She cried out, then turned to look at Wu Chen with her watery eyes, gently biting her lip and whispering coquettishly, "Mr. Wu Chen, I thought you were going to do something to me in the kitchen." Her face turned a little red.
Can you give me some tonic?
Wu Chen smiled and asked him.
Yes,
As Zhuang Xiaolian spoke, she realized something was wrong and suddenly, without warning, offered to give Wu Chen some nourishment.
Wu Chen is only 22 years old, so this makes it seem like they think Wu Chen is not good enough.
Miss Zhuang knows why Wu Chen hit her?
Mr. Wu, that's not what I meant. I just noticed you've been working too hard these past few days and haven't had a good rest. You didn't go to sleep until dawn yesterday.
I, Zhuang Xiaodie, was a little nervous as I explained.
How did you know I didn't go to sleep until dawn?
Wu Chen asked him.
Did I hear that?
There was no sound after daybreak.
Zhuang Xiaodi stammered, her face slightly flushed.
He also lives on the second floor, so of course he could hear some of the noises from next door last night.
Seeing Zhuang Xiaodie's nervous and slightly blushing expression, Wu Chen couldn't help but smile a little more.
Actually, he was just teasing Zhuang Xiaodie, so of course he wasn't angry.
Good.
Wu Chen smiled and pinched Zhuang Xiaodie's Zhuang Xiaodie, a simple gesture that successfully calmed her down.
I'm alive!
Wu Chen suddenly turned his head and reminded Zhuang Xiaodie quickly turned back and stirred the food a few times.
Please have a seat.
Wu Chen said something again and then left.
They don't get along.
Back in the living room, Wu Chen sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, watched the news for a while, then turned the volume down. Wu Chen took out his phone, scrolled through his contacts, dialed a number, and it connected quickly.
Hey, senior!
Song Xuan's pleasant and sweet voice came from the phone.
Let's schedule a time this afternoon.
Wu Chen said.
Wu Chen chatted with Song Xuan for a while and confirmed the time and place for their meeting in the afternoon.
A few minutes later, Wu Chen hung up the phone and immediately called Old Blade again.
Old Blade is still in the hospital, his injuries are quite severe. These few days of recuperation are certainly not enough for him to be discharged; he will need at least half a month.
The call connected quickly, and Wu Chen asked Old Blade about Jiang Chuan's situation.
Jiang Chuan was captured by Old Blade's men and has been brought to the East Sea, where he is being held in a secret location.
Wu Chen will definitely meet with Jiang Chuan to talk. He is one of Ding Ruilong's confidants and the number one person in charge of doing dirty work for Ding Ruilong, not just Ding Runlong.
Jiang Chuangwei worked for the Ding Family for 20 years. For the last 10 years, he worked with Ding Runlong, and for the first 10 years, he drove and acted as a bodyguard for Ding Runlong's father. In some aspects, his knowledge of the Ding Family was even more comprehensive than that of Ding Runlong himself.
After chatting with the Old Blade for a few minutes and hanging up the phone again, Wu Chen continued watching TV, waiting for Zhuang Xiaodie to finish cooking so she could call Li Ruobing downstairs to eat together. He didn't know if Li Ruobing would be able to get up.
Ten minutes later, Wu Chen's phone rang. He picked it up and raised an eyebrow in surprise, because the caller was Lei Cheng, the financial backer of the popular star Tou Manyan.
Since Wu Chen met him once through playing games, the two haven't had much contact.
Because he was in trouble, Wu Chen gave him crucial information: he wanted to kill his elder brother and seize the family business.
Hey, Brother Lei!
Wu Chen answered the phone and said, "Brother Wu, Ding Ruilong is looking for me; he called me."
Lei Chen spoke directly.
Ding Ruilong sought out Lei Cheng, presumably because of Tao Manying. Lei Cheng is Tao Manying's financial backer, which is hardly a secret in the entertainment industry.
The fact that Ding Ruilong suddenly approached Lei Cheng suggests that the news of Tao Manying becoming the spokesperson for Illusion Fashion had been leaked beforehand.
It wasn't entirely unexpected. With only a few days left until the launch of Illusion Fashion's New Product Launch, Tao Manying was currently in the East Sea, shooting a series of advertising materials at Brilliant Colors Pool, and would stay until after the launch event.
Work inevitably involves contact with all sorts of people, and gossip and rumors are unavoidable.
Ding Ruilong had been keeping a close eye on Li Ruobing the whole time. What did he say?
Wu Chen smiled calmly and asked him to reveal his identity first, and then speak.
Lei Cheng was very frank and told Wu Chen the whole story without reservation. Ding Ruilong called Lei Cheng, and after exchanging a few polite words, Ding Ruilong got to the point, saying that he hoped Lei Cheng could get Tao Manying to break the contract, Ding Ruilong therefore promised to bear all the losses caused to Lei Cheng.
Then Lei Cheng pretended not to understand and asked Ding Ruilong why he wanted to sabotage Li Ruobing's business, since he had been pursuing Li Ruobing all along.
Ding Ruilong then said he didn't want Li Ruobing to have a career, and that he wanted to marry Li Ruobing in the future, among other things. After giving Lei Cheng a series of hints, Lei Cheng said he was in a difficult position, mentioning things like business reputation and how difficult it would be to explain to Miss Li, and thus politely refused Ding Ruilong. He even hinted at what benefits he could offer Lei Cheng, but it didn't change Lei Cheng's attitude, and in the end, nothing came of it.
After hearing Lei Cheng's general explanation, Wu Chen understood that Ding Ruilong hadn't explained things clearly, and Lei Cheng was also pretending not to understand, because the two sides' first phone call was bound to be anything but thorough.
From a psychological perspective, Ding Ruilong likely thought Lei Cheng was just the second young master of the red-haired Lei Family, a loser in the family's internal power struggle. He thought Lei Cheng would give him face directly, or even try to curry favor with him, but Lei Cheng did not.
Even if Ding Ruilong is arrogant, he wouldn't threaten Lei Cheng just because Lei Cheng disagrees. He's not that brainless.
The Huaixi Razer family is a family that is even richer and more powerful than the Su family, the richest family in Donghai, with family assets exceeding 20 billion.
The total assets of Hongfa Weiye and Jingmi Group, controlled by the Lei Family, exceed 60 billion yuan.
Hongfa is the leading enterprise in Huaixi, a real business with a deep and complex foundation built over decades, making it extremely difficult for outside forces to shake its position.
The Ding Family isn't incapable of harming the Lei Family, but because of a trivial endorsement issue, the Ding Family is unlikely to cause trouble for the Lei Family. And Ding Runlong, as a third-generation member, alone cannot touch the Lei Family.
Therefore, Ding Ruilong would not easily clash with Lei Cheng.
The most important reason for this is that no matter what, Lei Cheng is still the father of Lei Jia's second son. No matter how much Lei Zhenghui favors the eldest son, he would not allow outsiders to bully his son over a trivial matter.
Ding Ruilong currently has limited knowledge of Lei Jia's internal situation, and he will not act rashly.
Ding Zhenglong finally told me that he would come to the East Sea to meet me and talk about this matter in person.
Lei Cheng concluded.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chen raised an eyebrow again, and his smile widened.
Ding Ruilong made a mistake: he was unaware of the relationship between Lei Cheng and Wu Chen.
Wu Chen and Lei Cheng met while playing games. They secretly met that day and then had no contact. No one in the East Sea knew that Wu Chen and Lei Cheng knew each other.
Currently, none of the rumors about Wu Chen in the East Sea involve Lei Cheng. From Ding Ruilong's perspective, he must believe that Li Ruobing contacted Lei Cheng and thus invited Tao Manying to be the spokesperson, which makes perfect sense.
It's illogical that Wu Chen and Lei Cheng know each other. Ding Ruilong neither knew that Lei Cheng and Wu Chen knew each other, nor did he know that Lei Cheng had already decided to side with Wu Chen. He needed to come to the East Sea to meet Lei Cheng privately, which was a serious mistake. Wu Chen couldn't possibly know directly when Ding Ruilong would come to the East Sea, whether he would come secretly, when he would meet Li Ruobing, or whether he would cause trouble in secret.
Now, however, the New Product Launch of Illusion Fashion has banned Ding Ruilong. Since he wants to prevent Tao Manying from becoming the spokesperson, if he secretly comes to the East Sea, the first person he will definitely meet is Lei Cheng. Wu Chen will then be able to track Ding Ruilong's whereabouts.
Brother, is this Ding Ruilong coming to Dong or Lei Cheng?
After saying that, he asked Wu Chen, who naturally understood that Ding Ruilong couldn't have come to the East Sea just for him; it was probably related to Li Ruobing, as a lot of things had happened recently.
Wu Chen laughed.
Okay, Brother Lei, let's set a time to meet.
Okay, this afternoon then. I'm free this afternoon. Whenever is convenient for you?
Lei Chen spoke frankly, and the two then agreed on a time and place to meet.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Chen acted as if nothing had happened and continued watching TV.
Less than half an hour later, Mr. Wu, dinner is ready!
Zhuang Xiaodi brought the last two dishes to the table, came out of the restaurant, and said "Mmm" to Wu Chen.
Wu Chen turned his head and glanced at her, then smiled and agreed. Wu Chen turned off the TV and went upstairs to call Li Ruobing. When he arrived at the master bedroom on the second floor, he found Li Ruobing still fast asleep. Wu Chen walked over and lifted the blanket.
Li Ruobing woke up immediately, staring wide-eyed at Wu Chen for a moment before realizing what was happening. She turned to look out the window and asked Wu Chen what time it was.
It's already 1 a. m. and you're still not up?
Wu Chen smiled.
Is it 1 a. m. yet?
When did you get up?
Li Ruobing asked Wu Chen.
12 o'clock.
Is Wu Chen's recovery going well?
Li Ruobing gave Wu Chen a strange look.
Of course, your recovery will definitely be better than yours; six or seven hours of sleep should be enough.
Is Wu Chen laughing so hard again?
Li Ruobing's tone immediately became listless, and he snorted with a smile, "I wonder if my dear Mr. Wu has ever heard the saying, 'There are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not oxen that are worn out from plowing.'" He was about to relieve himself when his tone suddenly changed. He wanted to turn around and sit on the edge of the bed, but as soon as he lifted his leg, he made a tearing sound in his mouth, curled up, and lay back down.
Did it hurt your stomach?
Wu Chen joked with a smile.
How can you be so unreasonable? You're arguing with me about something like this. Last night was your first time.
Yes, I'm willing to do it a second time, a third time, and a fourth time.
Li Ruobing suddenly looked up and said something to Wu Chen, then her eyes shifted, she pursed her lips, opened her arms to Wu Chen, and her voice softened considerably.
Dao Bao, now you know to beg me?
Wu Chun smiled.
Explode!
Li Ruobing continued, her voice even softer, her shoulders swaying slightly, as if she were starting to act coquettishly.
Wu Chen smiled, went over and picked her up in his arms.
Li Ruobing kissed Wu Chen on the cheek and then carried him to the Restroom for a quick wash.
Ten minutes later, Wu Chen carried Li Ruobing, who was wearing pajamas, downstairs and carried her all the way to the dining room. He placed her on a chair, and they looked very affectionate. Zhuang Xiaodie didn't know what was going on and just assumed that Li Ruobing and Wu Chen were always so affectionate at home. She didn't dare to say anything or ask anything.
He served rice to Li Ruobing and placed it in front of Li Ruobing, then served rice to Wu Chen, and finally sat down to eat after serving himself.
Wu Chen had just picked up his chopsticks when his phone rang again. Wu Chen put down his chopsticks, took out his phone, and saw that it was Lei Cheng calling again.
Wu Chen answered the phone and put it to his ear. Lei You, also about the endorsement.
Lei Yicheng said directly.
Wu Chen laughed; Ding Ruilong had made another mistake.
