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 Ruodai seemed a little anxious, and it appeared she was hiding something from someone, so she kept her voice very low.

It'll be over soon, don't rush.

Li Ruobing continued to stare at Wu Chen, finished speaking into the phone, and then swiped her finger to hang up.

Clutching his phone, his gaze never left Wu Chen.

Another few seconds of silence.

Li Ruobing pulled Wu Chen's tie forcefully again, leaned in, and kissed Wu Chen directly on the lips.

Regardless of anything else, let's kiss first.

Li Ruobin had kissed Wu Chen a few times before, and Wu Chen had even initiated the kiss, but it was either acting or just a way of arguing. This time, however, he didn't actually kiss Wu Chen.

He released his grip on Wu Chen's tie and instead wrapped his arms around Wu Chen's neck, acting very proactively.

Wu Chen also took the initiative to put his arm around her waist and hold her in his arms.

After a long, long time, Li Ruobing finally moved back a little and whispered, "It's time to leave."

After saying that, he smiled at Wu Chen again, glanced at the corner of Wu Chen's mouth, touched it with his hand, and then waved his tissue at Wu Chen, which contained her lipstick.

Li Ruobin released Wu Chen, walked to a table to the side, pulled out a few sheets of paper, and then walked back.

Just as Wu Chen was about to reach out to take it, Li Ruobing stopped Wu Chen and said softly, "I'll take it."

After saying that, he took a tissue and personally wiped Wu Chen's mouth, wiping it very carefully and attentively.

Her gaze lingered on Wu Chen's eyes and lips, her smile slightly flat yet carrying a hint of allure.

This was arguably the first time she had ever shown such a look, expression, and emotion towards a man.

Wu Chen knew, however, that Li Ruobing wasn't trying to please him.

Of course not, Li Ruobing simply made that decision.

The events of the past few days, and most importantly, yesterday's Su Family Board of Directors meeting, made Li Ruobing fully understand Wu Chen's power and terror.

He deeply acknowledged that Wu Chen was far superior to him in some aspects, but he was not Su Qingying. He felt that Wu Chen was better than him, and his most direct thought was that Wu Chen was worthy of him and could be his partner.

This is a mindset of the strong.

Just now, Wu Chen and he broke the ice. He wanted to be serious with Wu Chen, but he absolutely refused to be the weaker, more controlled party in this relationship.

In a partnership, one party must be dominant; that party must be the one who takes the initiative.

So when he proactively wipes Wu Chen's mouth, he's actually flirting with Wu Chen.

Wu Chen was well aware of Li Ruobin's thoughts. He was not worried about succumbing to temptation; on the contrary, he found it quite interesting.

Your makeup is ruined.

Wu Chen smiled and said something, then with a flick of his wrist, he snatched the paper from Li Ruobing's hand, wiped his mouth, and walked towards the sofa.

Li Ruobin kept his hand raised, paused for a moment, then looked at Wu Chen's back and said softly, "Let me add something, darling, you sit down first."

After saying that, Li Ruobing went to get her bag, and then went to the Restroom attached to the President's Office to touch up her makeup, wearing high heels.

His President's Office not only has its own Restroom, but also a lounge. Sometimes Li Ruobing works too late and doesn't go home, so she stays here instead.

Li Ruobin's makeup wasn't too bad; it was mainly his lipstick that got smudged onto Wu Chen's lips, and the two of them kept rubbing it back and forth.

Just a few minutes later, Li Ruobing came out of the Restroom and went straight to her private lounge.

I'll change my clothes.

Li Ruobing said "okay" as she walked over.

Wu Chen, sitting on the sofa, smiled and agreed.

A few minutes later, Wu Chen came over and helped me pull it up.

Li Ruobing suddenly shouted from the lounge.

Ah, here it comes.

Wu Chen agreed and got up to walk towards the lounge.

The door to the lounge was ajar. I pushed it open and found that the space inside wasn't very large; it was just a temporary resting area. However, it had all the furnishings a bedroom should have, including a wardrobe of moderate size.

Li Ruobing stood in front of the full-length mirror, her back to Wu Chen. She had changed out of her business attire and put on a black long dress. The dress was dignified enough, yet it did not lose its elegance and femininity.

The zipper of her long dress was at the back, and she seemed unable to zip it up by herself, so she called Wu Chen in to help her.

Wu Chen walked behind her and could see that the dress was very narrow at the waist, revealing Li Ruobin's slender waist and back. He could even see the straps of Li Ruobin bra, knowing what style she was wearing.

Li Ruobing stood in front of the full-length mirror, tilting her head slightly as she looked through it. When she saw Wu Chen approaching, she pulled her long, straight black hair to one side, supporting it with her hand, and said, "Help me pull this down."

His intentions were simple: to show Wu Chen, but only partially, without letting Wu Chen have it, thus making Wu Chen's heart itch.

If Wu Chen takes the initiative, and he plays hard to get, and Wu Chen begs him, then Wu Chen has lost.

Wu Zhen maintained a faint smile. She saw through everything. In fact, she understood that she and Li Ruobing had come this far, and Li Ruobing was playing games like this. He was bound to mess things up because he had virtually no experience in this area. No matter how intelligent he was, using such inexperienced methods on someone like Wu Chen, who was known for his promiscuity, was bound to cause trouble sooner or later.

Wu Chen reached out and slowly pulled up the zipper at the back of Li Ruobing's dress.

"Alright, "Wu Chen said.

Li Ruobing reached out again, picked up a box from the table beside her, and threw it to the ground behind her.

Please put this on me.

Wu Chen took it, opened the box, and saw that it contained a diamond necklace.

With his arms around Lei Ruobing, Wu Chen helped her put on the diamond necklace.

Li Ruobing looked in the mirror, then turned to Wu Chen and asked, "How is it?"

Very nice?

Wu Chen said it was just good?

Li Ruobing countered with a question.

What else?

Do you, Li Ruobing, need anyone to praise you?

Do you care?

Wu Chen smiled and asked back.

Li Ruobing narrowed her eyes slightly, then suddenly broke into a smile.

She stepped forward, tugged at Wu Chen's Wu Chen, straightened his tie, and walked in, saying softly, "You're so good at making me angry. I'm really curious. Do you treat all women like this, or is it just me? Are you deliberately trying to provoke me? Am I that special?"

Right?

After saying that, he smiled again, with a hint of victory in his expression.

Wu Chen admitted he's special, so he won the argument this time and it's time to move on.

Wu Chen smiled.

He neither admitted it nor denied it.

Li Ruobing's smile brightened considerably, and her mood instantly improved.

Finally, they managed to put pressure on Wu Chen, causing Wu Chen to avoid answering.

He didn't realize that Wu Chen was deliberately giving him this incentive, which would make him even more proactive.

After officially establishing their relationship, Wu Chen could no longer keep making him angry; she had to let him feel at ease occasionally, because what Wu Chen wanted was his love.

After adjusting Wu Chen's collar, Li Ruobing took Wu Chen arm and they set off.

More than half an hour later, the Crown Entertainment Club was exquisitely and elegantly decorated, with a strong artistic atmosphere.

In the suite where the Piano still sat, Li Ruotai sat on the sofa, looking at the person opposite him with some anxiety on his face.

Sitting on the sofa opposite him was a middle-aged man around 50 years old, who exuded the air of someone who had long held a high position.

Li Ruotai bears some resemblance to him.

It was Li Ruotai, Li Ruobin's father, the eldest son of Old Master Li, and the future Family Head the Li Family, Li Maoren.

Is that all?

Is this all the information you've gathered?

Li Maoren had finished reading the stack of documents. He looked up at his son and asked, his expression serious.

Dad, I feel the same way you do. I've been investigating this for days without telling my older sister, and I've even had people conduct a nationwide investigation.

Li Ruota explained in a very emphasizing tone.

But even so, we really can't find it.

Do you mean the man Bingbing is interested in now comes from a family that owns a Ramen Shop?

Do you believe the power behind him?

After Li Maoren finished speaking, he slammed the file on the table.

The file was slammed onto the table with a soft sound, and some photos tucked inside flew out.

Li Ruota suddenly stood up; he was still somewhat afraid of his father.

Dad, it really is.

Li Ruota didn't know what to say, because he had truly tried his best.

His investigation into Wu Chen wasn't for his family's sake, but because he was worried that his older sister would be scammed.

As he said, one thing at a time, Wu Chen saved his life.

He was truly grateful to Wu Chen for this.

On the surface, he addressed his brother-in-law as "brother-in-law," and his attitude was very polite.

But one should always be wary of others; he certainly understood such a simple principle.

Wu Chen's appearance was too abrupt, and his ordinary skills and family background only further suggested that Wu Chen had a problem.

Li Ruotai really did his best to investigate, even having people check the kindergarten Wu Chen attended as a child, and he even obtained Wu Zhen's birth records from the County Hospital.

The fact that the investigation was so thorough and found nothing wrong proves that Wu Chen has a serious problem. Li Ruotai understands this, but he doesn't know exactly what that serious problem is.

Li Maoren stared expressionlessly at his son who had stood up. He even began to suspect that his son and daughter might be conspiring to deceive him, but then he thought that was impossible. This Wu Chen was too much of a problem. If the two of them had deliberately arranged to deal with the family, they wouldn't have found such a big problem.

Such an ordinary daughter, even a blind man wouldn't choose someone so ordinary. She doesn't even like Ding Ruilong; her standards are practically higher than the sun.

Li Maoren picked up the file on the table again and flipped through it casually, but he couldn't find anything suspicious.

There are two possibilities.

Li Maoren looked up again and said, "First, he is not Wu Chen. Really, Wu Chen is dead. He has taken Wu Chen's identity, so no matter how you investigate, this identity will never be found."

Dad, that's absolutely impossible.

Li Ruotai immediately replied.

Um?

Why?

Li Maoren frowned. We had eaten together. After he left, I asked someone to take away the bowls and chopsticks he had used; they had his saliva on them.

Li Ruotai continued, "Later, at his home, his parents, I also had someone secretly find an opportunity to get their hair. We did a DNA test, and it confirmed that they are his biological children."

Li Ruota's investigation is true, and he confirms in detail that Wu Chen is indeed Wu Chen, this is the basis for a detailed investigation.

Li Ruotai couldn't possibly be unaware of why this information wasn't in the files.

Li Maoren asked, still frowning, "Dad, your arrival was too sudden. You didn't even call ahead. You flew over so early this morning. Aren't some documents here?"

Li Ruotai explained, and then addressed the issue of Wu Chen's identity, saying that he is definitely the real Wu Chen, his growth experience is very clear and easy to verify, and there are photos of him from various periods of his life.

Furthermore, he has never experienced being kidnapped or suddenly disappearing for a period of time, so it's impossible that he was killed.

Whether or not he mentioned the identity theft is actually unimportant, because the DNA proves everything. Li Ruota was under a lot of pressure.

My father's arrival was so sudden, that leaves only one possibility.

Li Maoren pondered.

Dad, please say something.

Li Ruotai.

It's just another one of your sister's lame tricks.

Li Maoren looked at his son.

Her boyfriend is fake, and all those posts and her actions in the East Sea were pre-arranged by your sister.

Li Ruotai hesitated.

Li Maoren knew about Wu Chen's activities in the East Sea these past few days because Li Ruotai had told him, and it was all in the documents.

Li Ruotai doesn't know everything. For example, he doesn't know about Wu Chen and Lei Cheng's relationship. What he knows are only the obvious things, such as the conflicts between Lao Pinxuan and Lu Guangning.

What's wrong?

Seeing that his son's expression was off, Li Maoren asked him what was wrong.

Maybe, it might be fake.

Li Ruota was reluctant to discuss it.

Actually, his current attitude stems from his belief that Wu Chen couldn't possibly be a fake.

But he couldn't say it, not only because he thought Li Ruobing was pregnant and he couldn't say it, but also because it would involve Wu Chen helping him get out of danger.

Wu Chen explained the situation to him and told his family, but not to mention him.

Wu Chen told Li Ruotai that he had discovered the problem himself, and after a thorough investigation, he realized there was a big problem and that Wu Chen needed to be removed from the list.

Li Ruota was told and covered it up for Wu Chen, because it was extremely advantageous for him.

Li Ruota's big trouble might even kill him in prison, implicate the Li Family, and cause turmoil throughout the entire Li Family. If Li Ruotai says that others helped him, then he seems too useless. He messed things up himself, which is why he has to rely on others to save him in the end.

So if he says he discovered it himself, it's like proving he's not useless; even though he went too far, he didn't completely mess things up, he discovered it in time, and he can salvage the situation.

Although Li Ruo Tan Mujie are the first generation of the Li Family and have a very stable position, that is all based on the premise that he is not a playboy and has not caused any huge trouble.

His grandfather is still alive, and his father is still the head of the family. He can't let his family think he's incompetent, otherwise the family's focus on his upbringing might shift away from him.

It might be fake, or it might be real.

I think it's true. I think my older sister is really serious; it doesn't seem fake.

Li Ruotai deliberately sounded uncertain, but he was actually certain: Wu Chen was indeed his brother-in-law. How could it possibly be true?

Li Maoren, however, said that he was also certain in his heart that Wu Chen was his daughter's fake boyfriend, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

Li Ruotai's phone rang. He answered it, listened for a moment, and replied, "I know."

After hanging up the phone, I politely said to my father, "Dad, my sister and the others are downstairs and coming up."

Um.

Li Maoren responded with a nasal sound, leaned back, and gestured towards the table.

Li Ruocan immediately called someone in to clear away all the documents on the table.

The coffee table not only contained extremely detailed information about Wu Chen, but also information about Li Ruotai's troublesome situation.

This was actually the main reason why Li Maoren had been looking unwell. He knew that his son wanted to achieve something, but he had gone too far.

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps sounded outside the suite door, and someone could be vaguely heard greeting the young lady. The back door opened, and Li Maoren turned his head to see his daughter entering arm in arm with a young man. She was wearing a long dress and a sparkling diamond necklace.

He knew his daughter didn't really like dressing up like this; she was naturally ambitious and didn't need much dressing up. But today, she looked completely different. She lacked the aura of a strong woman and looked more like a woman.

Li Maoren was very self-aware; he knew perfectly well that his daughter couldn't possibly have dressed like that just to see him, because she was truly in love and it was for this guy.

Upon further reflection, Li Maoren became even more convinced that it was all a lie. His daughter would never change for any man; he was simply putting on an act.

The bodyguard closed the door, and only Wu Chen and Li Ruobing walked inside.

Sister, brother-in-law, why are you taking so long? We were getting impatient.

Li Ruotai took two steps forward and, with his back to Li Maoren, gave the two of them a wink.

Li Maoren glanced at his son's back. He couldn't see the subtle signals, but he could understand why his son called Wu Chen" brother-in-law."

The son may not be acting voluntarily, because he is afraid of his daughter and dares not disobey her boyfriend.

Li Ruobing, arm in arm with Wu Chen, walked to the sofa opposite them before speaking, "Dad, you're here?"

Why didn't you call ahead?

Li Maoren glanced at his daughter, then immediately shifted his gaze to Wu Chen's face.

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