Chapter 156
Chapter 154
It hasn''t been a long time since we started dating. I''ve never thought about marriage, and he had never
mentioned it.
But now, he was asking if I would like to marry him.
I was certain that something must''ve happened to him today. Then, suddenly, I remembered he had
mentioned his mother…
Was that the reason for his dismal mood?
Shawn had never shown me any vulnerability before, so my heart ached slightly as I kissed his face. I
implored gently, "Shawn, if something really did happen today, please tell me. I might not be able to
solve your problems, but I''m still your partner. We can face the troubles together!"
His vulnerabilitysted only a few moments because when he released his hold on me, he said with a
rxed expression, "It''s nothing. I''lle to the school to fetch you tomorrow. Father''s condition has
stabilized, so we''ll go back and apany him for a few days."
Then, he held my hand and continued, "Although the Xenos Family is a cruel and merciless one, my
father has always favored me because I was my mother''s child. Due to this, I was always given special
treatment."
Bewildered, I asked, "Are you sure it''s time for me to meet your family?"
Amused, he chuckled and exined gently, "It''s just a small meeting, don''t be nervous. Unfortunately,
my father''s condition is quite serious…I don''t think we''ll get another opportunity to visit him again."
It was a good sign that he had be much more willing tomunicate with me. I nodded my head
in agreement with his suggestion.
All of a sudden, he got up and carried me to the bed. This time, he took the initiative to take off my
clothes. His kisses rained tenderly over my entire body as if he were treating a precious treasure.
Right now, he was very alluring to me.
……
…
When I woke up at dawn, Shawn was no longer in bed. So, I got out of bed and changed into green-
colored suspenders. It was a captivating outfit, and it exposed my shoulder des.
After my morning ritual, I decided to put on an exquisite makeup with a light brown eyeshadow. Then,
paired with some dangly earrings, I tied my hair into two buns.
When I looked into the mirror, I couldn''t help but admire how pretty I was.
I knew that Shawn didn''t like me wearing these types of outfits, but I wanted to tease him. I couldn''t
wait to see him furrow his brows in displeasure when he saw meter.
I opted to take the transit to the university instead of driving to the university, where I will be substituting
for a few sses.
I arrived early as the ss hadn''t even begun yet and took a stroll around the ce to pass some time.
Then, when it was time, I entered the ss punctually.
It was still the same batch of students, eximing, "It''s only been half a year since west saw the
teacher. You''ve gotten even prettier! So, Ms. Felix, what will you be teaching us today?"
I smiled and replied, "Ludwig van Beethoven''s Moonlight Sonata."
It hesn''t been e long time since we sterted deting. I''ve never thought ebout merriege, end he hed never

teecher. You''ve gotten even prettier! So, Ms. Felix, whet will you be teeching us todey?"
I smiled end replied, "Ludwig ven Beethoven''s Moonlight Se."
My first meeting with Shawn was in the middle of the night, and the moonlight shone on his face,
highlighting his distinct appearance. After that encounter, there were countless nights when he would
appear in front of me. Even when he did not say a single word, I felt protected when he gazed upon
me.
I was grateful to be able to meet him in this lifetime.
I was grateful that my life wasn''t as messed up as I thought it was.
I was grateful to receive a new life after recovering from cancer. Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
That includes the love I''ve received from him.
When the first ss session ended, Shawn texted to ask me where I was. I texted back, "What''s your
WhatsApp number?"
He replied, "It''s this number."
I''ve only just added his number on the app.
I had just sent him my location when a student came over to ask me some technical questions. cing
my phone down, I began to answer them one by one.
I inadvertently turned my head towards the window during the ss. To my surprise, I saw Shawn
waiting patiently for me as he stood outside. I met his nce with a bright smile before returning my
gaze toward the ss.
Just as the ss was about to end, a student asked me if I could y Mariage d''amour. I had never
been the one to reject their requests.
So, I sat in front of the piano, flipped through the music scores, and yed the piece. When it ended,
the students marveled, "Not only is Ms. Felix beautiful, but you''re also skilled at ying the piano. It
was great listening to Ms. Felix''s performance. We can feel your happiness."
The students said they could feel my happiness.
I tilted my head to look outside the window at Shawn. He stood close to the ssroom with his hands
behind his back as his clear gaze fell on me.
The students followed my gaze to see Shawn as they chattered among themselves.
"I think we''ve seen him before."
"Ms. Felix, is he your boyfriend?
I''ve been a trending topic for quite a while, so some of them must''ve heard some rumors about me.
However, none of them inquired about my private affairs.
They were extremely polite and respected my privacy.
I was delighted to receive their respect.
I smiled shyly as I introduced Shawn to them, "This is my boyfriend."
This was the first time I admitted our rtionship in public. Shawn must''ve heard my words as he
smiled slightly.
"Ms. Felix''s boyfriend is so handsome."
I pursed my lips into a smile, then hurriedly said, "Let''s continue the ss."
The moment the lesson ended, I ran toward Shawn. Opening his arms to embrace me, he asked,
"Have the ss ended?"
I nodded. "It just ended."
His palm grazed on my bare back as he automatically furrowed his eyebrows, reminding me, "Next
time, don''t wear this outfit."
I shook my head. "I think I look pretty in this outfit."
"..."
He said possessively, giving me a side nce, "Just wear it at home for me."
My first meeting with Shawn was in the middle of the night, and the moonlight shone on his face,
highlighting his distinct appearance. After that encounter, there were countless nights when he would
appear in front of me. Even when he did not say a single word, I felt protected when he gazed upon
me.
I pouted and argued, "You can''t be overbearing like this."
He didn''t get to reply as the students crowded around to watch the two of us. Finally, a bold student
joked, "What should we call Ms. Felix''s husband? How about Mr. Felix? I think that''s a good one. Mr.
Felix, you have to treat Ms. Felix nicely, or our whole ss will make sure to find you."
He addressed Shawn as my husband…
Shawn stared at the student who spoke those bold words and asked, "What did you call me?"
"Mr. Felix! I can''t call you Mrs. Felix, right?"
Smirking, he praised, "You''ve got a bright future ahead of you, kiddo."
I nced at Shawn and realized that he was in a good mood. Putting his arm over my shoulders, we
left.
He parked his car at the entrance, so it was a short walk before we got into the car, and he started
driving. It didn''t take long for him to realize that a vehicle was following behind us.
He gave an intelligent guess, "Are those your bodyguards?"
"Yes, it feels safer with a few people around."
He lowered his voice, "Tell them to leave. The Xenos is an inconspicuous family; no one can step foot
within a ten-mile radius of the area."
The Xenos'' Residence gave me an impression of endless walls with a forest-like interior design.
took out my phone and gave a call to my assistant and the car left after a while. Shawn stopped the car
when we were just about to enter the residence and turned sideways to ask me, "We haven''t had a
date yet, right?"
I asked, "Why did you suddenly bring that up?"
"There''s an old town here by some mountains and rivers."
I immediately understood what he was saying.
And so, Shawn brought me to the town.
He parked the car at the roadside and walked hand in hand with me into the town. This was a tourist
spot, so plenty of people were walking around.
Most of the people there were tourists visiting to get a change of scenery. No one would recognize us
here, nor would they pay any attention to us.
This was a rare rxing asion for me as I followed behind Shawn. He brought me to a jewelry shop
and bought a gold chain.
Puzzled, I asked, "What are you buying this for?"
He didn''t answer. Instead, he removed a ring on his finger and threaded it into the chain before
sping the ne on my neck.
I asked curiously, "What is this ring?"
"It''s a symbol representing the head of the Xenos Family. You canmand the entire family with it."
To think he actually gave me something so precious.
"Why are you giving me such a precious thing?"
While I was delighted to see the extent of trust he had in me, apprehension filled my heart.
He shouldn''t entrust me with such a precious object…
He murmured gently, "To me, you''re the most precious thing I have."
