Chapter 489: Button

Huo Lingan was acutely aware that he shouldn't do this.

What he should have done was to pull away from her and then walk away without looking back.

But his feet seemed to be filled with lead, completely immovable.

In his arms was the girl he liked.

The girl he had silently watched over, who had been in his heart and on his mind for five years.

The girl whom he knew from the start was impossible to have, so he longed to be close but dared not get too close.

From the day he made his choice, he told himself he must never overstep the boundary, no matter what.

There were too many obstacles between him and Chen Anxin.

Not just in terms of their social status, but also their age.

He was sixteen years her senior.

Even though he was still relatively young at over forty, he was no match for her.

It wasn't that he was being worldly, but the more he cared, the more fearful he became, anxious about how to bridge this gap, whether he could truly make her happy.
