Chapter 253 - Who Are You Calling Mrs. Mo?

As the school session ended, Edith grabbed her bag and headed out. She glanced at her watch and her lips tilted into a smile. Seeing that it was still early, Edith decided to stop over and find Neil at his office.

Now that he had put a ring on her finger, Edith found that she would miss that man whenever she could not see him. As the thought came to her mind, Edith thought that perhaps, she had turned into a silly woman.

Just as she was about to walk out of the building, the phone on her bag started to buzz. Edith glanced at the caller ID and was surprised to see that it was Sophie. Swiftly, she swiped her finger on the screen and pressed the phone to her ear.

"Hello, Auntie?"

Sophie's laughter could be heard from the other side. "Why are you still addressing me as Auntie? Edith, don't you think that it was time for you to change that way of addressing me to Mom?"

Edith froze as she heard Sophie's words. Then, a shade of pink slowly crept on her face. "Neil told you?"

There was a long sigh coming from Sophie's part. "This kind of matters… you should tell me a little earlier. Although Neil can be a little unreliable, that doesn't mean that you need to follow in his footsteps."

When Sophie thought of how his son had waited for a day to tell her this important news, Sophie was very unhappy. 

It has been a while since Mo's family had received happy news, but her son decided to announce this important matter after a day has passed. 

Neil was worried that his mother would disturb Edith the moment she found out about the news. Edith had just agreed to marry him and Neil wanted to spend his time with Edith.

"Sorry," Edith whispered.

A trace of guilt crossed her face as Edith recalled that she had not mentioned this matter to her grandfather. Anyway, she had tried to contact her grandfather last night, but he was unreachable. 

In the end, Edith decided to wait until her grandfather had returned from his fishing trip.

"Don't worry, I'm not blaming you. This time, it's Neil's fault," Sophie said again. She quickly readjusted her thoughts and decided to change the topic. "That's right. When will you two come back to Z Town? Mom is planning to meet your grandfather to discuss your marriage."

"Ah?" Edith was momentarily stunned when she heard Sophie's plan that she had ignored how Sophie had changed the way she addressed herself.

"Why do you sound so surprised?" Sophie laughed at the other line. 

"Isn't this is too soon?" Edith spoke. 

"This kind of thing should be plan early. It can take a long time to arrange a wedding," Sophie explained. "But don't worry. Mom is here. I will help you to prepare everything you need."

Edith continued to listen to Sophie and her palm started to sweat as she heard of the things to do for a wedding.

…

As soon as Edith arrived at the company, she went straight to Neil's floor and ran into Assistant Shawn outside the elevator.

"Miss Qian," Assistant Shawn smiled politely. He glanced at the ring on her finger and the smile on his face stretched up. "Congratulation. I heard that you have agreed to President Mo's proposal."

"Thank you." Edith exchanged a few words with Assistant Shawn and followed him to Neil's office.

As she walked from the elevator towards Neil's office, Edith began to notice the light atmosphere in the office. She turned to Assistant Shawn and spoke, "Why does it feel as if things were a little different?"

Assistant Shawn laughed. "Miss Qian, isn't this is all because of you?"

Edith turned to the man with a puzzled look. "Me?"

"President Mo seemed to be in a very good mood today and he was constantly smiling," Assistant Shawn whispered. "The others noticed this little change and they were affected by the President's mood. Just now, one of the secretaries had made a slight mistake on the documents, but President Mo was not angry."

Assistant Shawn opened his mouth to continue but stopped himself when he noticed the looming shadow. His expression changed when he saw that it was Neil. He quickly composed himself and smiled. "President Mo."

Neil glanced at the two people in front of him and narrowed his eyes at Assistant Shawn. "What were you two whispering about?"

Assistant Shawn cleared his throat. "President Mo, I was only telling Miss Qian that you would be happy to see her here."

Neil continued to stare at his assistant as if he did not believe his words. But he soon looked away when Edith placed her hand in his. "Why didn't you tell me that you were coming?"

"Didn't you say you like a surprise?" Edith suppressed her urge to laugh as she stared at the jealous man in front of her. She inched closer and whispered, "Of course, I come over because I miss you."

His eyes darkened as he heard the words. Neil pulled at her hands and head into his office, leaving Assistant Shawn in a daze.

The door slammed shut, and in the next second, Edith found that her back was pressed on the wall. Then, his lips descended to meet hers into a fervent kiss. Her shoulder gradually relaxed, and Edith reciprocated his kiss with the same passion.

The couple separated only after they were both breathless. Their forehead rested against each other and their gazes were burning.

"Mrs. Mo, you're getting bolder at teasing me, aren't you?"

Edith heard his words and laughed. "Who are you calling Mrs. Mo? I am not married to you yet."

"Sooner or later, you will be my wife. It doesn't make much difference." Neil shot her a warning gaze. "Anyway, you cannot change your mind."

Edith leaned forward to peck at the corner of his lips. "As long as you treat me well, I won't."

His lips curled into a lopsided smile as a crazy idea came to his mind. "Should we go to the bureau and register our marriage first?"

Edith slapped her hand lightly on his chest. "No. Let's do this properly. Anyway, I haven't mentioned this matter to my grandfather yet. Let's wait until he had returned from his fishing trip."

There was a slight fluctuation in Neil's eyes as he heard about Mike and his fishing trip. In fact, earlier that morning, Neil had a conversation with Mike, and that elderly man naturally knew about his proposal.

Suddenly, Neil wondered how will Edith react if she found out that her grandfather has been lying to her.
