Chapter 300 - Are You Here To Congratulate Me?

Edith let out a sigh upon meeting Autumn Feng's angry gaze. It was not hard for her to figure out that the woman had come over to create trouble for her.

In fact, Edith did not really understand why Autumn Feng would continuously look for her. Edith was aware that the woman had set her eyes on her husband, but even after a few years of trying to pursue him, the man's heart did not move for her.

Autumn was not happy when she heard that she and Neil are together. Each time they ran into each other, Autumn would look down on her, hoping that Edith would think that she was indeed unworthy to be with Neil.

However, most of the time, Edith was not someone who would care much about what others would think about her.

From the very moment she set her eyes on Neil and had this intention to pursue him, Edith was well aware of her shortcoming. However, as long as Neil was able to accept her for who she was, why should she care about what outsiders think of her. Autumn was not Neil's mother.

"Miss Qian, I heard that you and President Mo are married." Autumn sneered.

Edith flashed her a smile. "Are you here to congratulate me?"

"Don't be shameless. Why would I congratulate you?"

In the past few months, she was sent away to attend conferences and meetings in another city. Therefore, Autumn was not aware that President Mo had gotten married. 

It was only after she had returned to the headquarters that Autumn received the news. Someone had left a box of those candies on her desk and it was a few days ago that she heard someone in the company had mentioned that their President is now a married man.

Autumn was shocked. She had thought that Neil Mo was only close to that kindergarten teacher because of Hazel. She did not expect that Neil would really marry her.

She had seen the way the two were holding hands as they walked out of the elevator and the way that Neil had kissed the woman before he went away with the head of security.

Although Neil had not disclosed the identity of his wife to everyone, he had acted intimately with Edith in public. It was enough for Autumn to guess who was Mrs. Mo.

Autumn was not contented. She glanced at the outfit Edith was wearing and a disdain smile curled on her lips. "Just look at yourself. Do you really think that you're a good match with President Mo? Just with the way you're dressed, are you not afraid that you're going to embarrass him by walking with him?"

Edith gave Autumn a look over and raised a brow when she looked at the suit and pants that the woman was wearing. 

She's a kindergarten teacher. Did Autumn expect her to wear a business suit and chase after those kids?

"Miss Feng, are you my mother-in-law?" Edith spoke with a languid tone.

"What?" 

"You're not even a close family. Therefore, I actually don't care about what you think." A smile curled on her lips. "Miss Feng, are you not tired of repeating the same words over and over again? Because I'm tired of listening to them. I can almost guess what you're going to say next. The last time, you had criticized my background. Then, our compatibility. This time, my dress-up. The next thing… are you going to criticize my personality or my manners?"

"You—"

Autumn was furious because she was planning to point out that Edith did not have manners. She could still remember the last time Edith had pointed out her compatibility with President Mo. Her words made her face red with both anger and embarrassment. In Autumn's opinion, Edith was a vulgar woman.

"The next time you see me, you don't have to waste your breath and come at me to say the same thing all over again. No matter what you're going to say, I won't think myself of someone who is not good enough for my husband."

Hearing Edith called Neil as her husband managed to make Autumn's blood boil. "You're shameless."

A chuckle escaped her as Edith watched how Autumn's face changed. 

Actually, Edith never understood why did Autumn always come at her. Was Autumn expecting her to leave Neil's side? Then, what was Autumn planning to do?

Even if Neil was not with her, he would not choose to be with someone like Autumn Feng. Moreover, her husband was not an idiot. He wouldn't marry her if he thinks she was not good enough for him. 

Her gaze shifted when Edith saw the person behind Autumn Feng and the smile on her lips stretched out. Edith gathered her belongings and stood up.

"Where are you going? I am not finished with you." 

"Manager Feng, do you have a problem with my wife?"

Autumn was shocked upon hearing that voice. She turned around slowly and was shocked upon seeing that Neil was standing behind her with a dark look on his face. Autumn felt her body grew cold as she met Neil's icy gaze.

Just how much had he heard?

Her gaze shifted to Edith and Autumn grew angry at the thought that Edith had set her up.

"Manager Feng, if you're that free, I will consider sending you over to manage our branch in Y City."

Autumn's face turned white. "President Mo, I am not that free. I have just returned from a conference. I still have a lot to do here."

Neil gave her a look over before he wrapped his arms around his wife's waist and pulled her towards the entrance. "What did she tell you this time?" He whispered as they walked over to his SUV.

"She said I'm too shameless to marry you."

A deep frown appeared on his face. "Don't worry. I will find a way to deal with her later."

"It's fine. I'll just think of her chattering as a dog barking."

Neil heaved a sigh before he pecked at her hair. "I won't tolerate anyone who bullied my family."

A faint smile crossed her lips. Autumn's words came to her mind and Edith stepped away from him. "Hubby, did you mind that I never dressed up like those top socialites or fashionistas?"

His brow shot up and Neil immediately guessed that Autumn might have said something about the way his wife was dressed.

"Why would I mind? I think you look great in whatever you're wearing." He inched closer and whispered, "Of course, you look the best when you're not wearing anything."

Edith narrowed her eyes and hit him on his chest. "I know you were going to say something like that."

Neil laughed happily before he opened the door for her. Then, he slid into the driver's seat and started to drive. 

When the vehicle pulled over, Edith noticed that they were not stopping at the restaurant as he had planned. She followed him and was surprised when he took her to an expensive shopping district.

"Why are we here?"

"To get you some clothes."

Edith raised a brow. "I thought you don't mind the way I'm dressed?"

"I don't. But I don't want others to look down on you." Neil pinched at her cheek before he waved at the shop attendant. "Just get everything you have in my wife's size and see which one she liked."

The shop attendant's eyes brightened upon hearing his words, while Edith stared at her husband in disbelief. 

She tugged at his hand and whispered, "Are you crazy?"

"Why not? What's wrong with splurging my wife?" Neil flashed her an assuring smile. "I always wanted to do this.. Be obedient and go with that shop attendant."
