Chapter 555: There Are Many Men
Her response was as light as a feather, and her tone was neat and casual, as if she was agreeing to a trivial matter.
Mother Shi was stunned and hesitated for a moment, almost suspecting that there was something wrong with her ears: "What did you say?"
"I said yes, no problem!" Shen Ci repeated without hesitation.
This time it was Mother who was shocked.
What did she mean by this? Didn't she like Shi Ye? How could she agree to break up with Shi Ye so readily?
A strange feeling arose in Shi's mother's heart. If Chen Ci didn't agree, she would naturally be angry, but she also felt uncomfortable because Chen Ci agreed too readily, as if her son was not that important in her heart.
"He's not that important to me," Shen Ci added softly.
Shi Mu: “!?”
Her face turned pale, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute Shen Ci.
Looking at her expression, Chen Ci could probably guess what Shi's mother was thinking. She was just speaking up for her son. How could such an outstanding person like Shi Ye be "abandoned" by a girl so easily and without any conditions?
But unfortunately, what she liked was never Shi Ye's excellence.
"I have already promised, and I will do what I say. Auntie, do you have anything else to say? If not, please go back." Shen Ci said as he picked up the menu beside him and looked up at Shi's mother: "Or do you want to stay and have dinner with me?"
Mother Shi narrowed her eyes. She couldn't accept that her son was looked down upon in this way. Chen Ci's calmness seemed to her like a provocation and a glare.
"So Tokino is nothing to you, and your attitude towards him is just a joke?"
Shen Ci shook her head lightly and corrected him: "Auntie, you misunderstood me. I have always been serious about things like feelings, but I never take them seriously. I can get carried away, but I can also stay sober at the same time."
"Tokino is a good person. If he asks me to confirm our relationship today, I will agree and take this relationship seriously."
“But…” Chen Ci looked at Shi Mu and said helplessly: “You don’t agree, do you?”
Shi Mu snorted coldly: "But you didn't insist, did you?"
"Why should I insist?" Chen Ci asked back, "If I insist, will you agree?"
Kali was silent.
Chen Ci smiled and said, "That's it. If you won't agree, then what's the point of me insisting? To prove that Shi Ye is so outstanding that I can't bear to give him up?"
"That's not necessary. I won't waste my time, and I won't compete with you for Shi Ye just to satisfy your vanity."
"For me, the essence of love is a dual need of spirit and body, but it must be relaxing and enjoyable. If there are too many distractions, I will take the initiative to withdraw."
"After all, I just want to have a relationship. I'm not going to marry him, and you won't become my mother-in-law. So I don't want to have to deal with you while still in this relationship with him. It's too troublesome."
"And what I hate most is trouble."
Chen Ci finished speaking these words slowly and calmly. These words were indeed not pleasant to Shi Mu, but they were also Chen Ci's attitude towards love.
Love should be easy and enjoyable, and it should be a one-on-one relationship between each other. If she has to bother dealing with other people and things, then the essence of love has changed for her. She doesn't want to exist in an intimate relationship that requires hard work.
Shi Mu remained silent and just sat there for a long time. The look in her eyes gradually changed. Her anger and hostility gradually faded, and she became calm.
She didn't get angry, but instead said: "Maybe Shi Ye is right, you are an excellent girl."
Shi's mother is a university teacher. She has met and come into contact with many girls of all kinds and with different personalities, but few are as clear-headed, courageous, and principled as Chen Ci.
Especially at her age.
Because whether women are willing to admit it or not, it cannot be denied that women are indeed emotional animals, and emotions will subconsciously drive their behavior and expression.
But Chen Ci has independent thinking beyond her age, and can express it in front of her without being humble or arrogant. This is not easy.
Faced with the sudden change in Shi Mu's attitude, and even praising herself, Shen Ci smiled generously and responded without any modesty: "Indeed."
Shi's mother stood up with her bag, looked at Shen Ci and said, "But unfortunately, Shi Ye really has to concentrate on the postgraduate entrance examination right now. It can only be said that the timing is not right. If it was the right time, I would not object to you."
"There's nothing to regret." Chen Ci lowered her eyes and thought to herself, "There are plenty of men."
But she didn't say the second half of the sentence, as a kind response to Shi's mother's praise just now.
Shi Mu was already somewhat familiar with Chen Ci's character, so when she heard her say "not a pity", she didn't get angry anymore. Instead, she smiled with appreciation and said, "Goodbye."
After Shi's mother left, the waiter came over and asked Shen Ci: "Beauty, do you want to order now?"
"Of course." Shen Ci smiled brightly, not affected by this incident. She elegantly flipped through the menu and pointed at an expensive set meal: "I'll have one of these."
Seeing this, the waiter kindly reminded: "Beautiful lady, this is a meal for four to six people. I see that you have reserved this table for two people tonight. There are two people's meals in the back."
"That's it." Shen Ci said with certainty.
The waiter didn't dare to say anything more, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
After ordering the food, Shen Ci took out his cell phone and called everyone one by one.
Soon, Lianxing, Pili, Shen Yuzhen, Su Zheyuan and Xiao Gao arrived one after another.
The earth will still turn without a man, friends are her necessities!
Chen Ci told a few people what happened today as a story. Lian Xing was particularly excited: "Oh my god, it's even more exciting than a TV drama."
Su Zheyuan curled his lips: "So this Shi Ye is a mama's boy?"
Shen Ci shook her head and didn't think so: "Not really, it's just that his mother is really strong, and he probably resisted to no avail."
"So we're out just like that?" Shen Yuzhen asked.
She felt a little sorry for Chen Ci because she thought Shi Ye was pretty good, handsome and had a good personality, and Chen Ci also liked him.
But who could have expected that a mother would suddenly appear halfway? This kind of thing is completely a minefield for Shen Ci, the kind that would definitely kill her without a doubt.
"Have you tried it?" Shen Yuzhen suddenly leaned closer and asked curiously.
With just one word, everyone else looked over. They were obviously experienced people and knew what Shen Yuzhen was asking.
Chen Ci lifted her hair and sighed with regret: "That's the loss. He has always been very confident in his own strength. If he had known earlier, he would have tested it first."
