Dear Mr. Shi
Chapter 947 - 947 Extra Shi Mu vs Si Chen 11
Chapter 947: Extra: Shi Mu vs Si Chen 11 Chapter 947: Extra: Shi Mu vs Si Chen 11 As soon as Mrs. Si’s voice fell, Shi Mu’s voice rang out, “Auntie, you’re here.”
Seeing Shi Mu, Mrs. Si’s gaze instantly brightened, “Amu, you’re not at work?”
As she spoke, her expression paused for a moment, and she frowned at Shi Mu, in his pajamas and looking somewhat pale, “Are you sick, Amu?”
Shi Mu smiled, “Yes, it’s not Achun who is sick, it’s me. Achun cooked porridge for me.”
Mrs. Si’s eyes held a thoughtful gleam as she glanced between Shi Mu and Si Chen, “Have you two made up?”
Shi Mu just smiled without saying anything, simply looking towards Si Chen.
Si Chen felt very uncomfortable and said cooly, “Mom, aren’t you being a bit too nosy?”
Mrs. Si stepped forward, holding Si Chen’s arm with one hand, pouting as she spoke, “Of course I have to be nosy, who am I if not your mother? Don’t you know that during the time you and Shi Mu were quarreling, everyone at home was almost driven crazy by you, do you understand?”
For Si Chen, seeing his usually graceful and sensitive mother suddenly transform into a whimsically complaining child to her son was a sight he had long become accustomed to.
He rubbed his forehead, took the insulated box from her hands, and began to push her towards the door, “Alright, alright, since you’ve delivered everything, you should head back now!”
“No way!” Mrs. Si refused and even dodged away from Si Chen’s attempts to usher her out, “I feel like I haven’t talked to Shi Mu for quite a while. Since he’s not working today, I want to chat with him for a bit.”
Si Chen, with a dark expression, protested, “What have you got to talk about?”
“How can there be nothing to talk about? He’s going to be my daughter-in-law, we have plenty to discuss. Son, if you’re busy, you can go out,” said Mrs. Si as she settled onto the sofa, gesturing to Shi Mu to join her.
Si Chen was utterly disheveled, “Mom, what are you talking about, what…”
He couldn’t bring himself to say the word “daughter-in-law” and, looking at the exchanged glances between Shi Mu and his mother, it wasn’t hard to see that they had met before and even had deep conversations, which were certainly about Si Chen himself.
Actually, Si Chen’s guess was quite correct.
Mrs. Si had indeed talked with Shi Mu before, at Song Qinghuan’s wedding.
Before Shi Mu saw a drunken Si Chen in a terrible state, Mrs. Si had already spotted him. While she was wondering whether to help Si Chen or not, she saw Shi Mu heading towards him.
As a mother, she had always been aware of her son’s feelings.
She knew that Si Chen used to be interested in Yihan, and she also knew that Si Chen and Shi Mu were close afterwards.
Seeing the interactions between Shi Mu and Si Chen in the cool hall that day, Mrs. Si instantly understood that her son had always been interested in men: Yihan in the past, and now Shi Mu.
Mrs. Si remembered how she turned pale upon first learning that her son favored men instead of women.
She couldn’t accept this reality at all.
That time, she confronted Si Chen, asking with a tremulous voice, “How could you like men? You’ve dated girls before, haven’t you? How could you…”
Back then, Si Chen had assured her with certainty, “No, Mom, I don’t like boys, I only like him.”
At that time, that ‘him’ was Yihan.
Mrs. Si also knew that Yihan didn’t like Si Chen and that it was rather unlikely they would end up together. So she hoped that with time, Si Chen’s feelings might fade or Yihan would get married and Si Chen would move on.
