Chapter 280: Let Them Share the Burden

Hearing him say this, An Ruo found herself inexplicably believing his words.

Without even realizing it, her trust in him was deepening by the moment.

"Alright, I'll go." She stood up abruptly, and because she rose so quickly, her knee hit the coffee table. She lost her balance and suddenly toppled into the man's arms.

Realizing what happened, she frantically tried to get up, but the man's arm swiftly wrapped around her waist, causing her to panic even more, and she instinctively pressed her hands against his chest.

In that instant, what her palms felt were his firm yet pleasantly textured muscles.

And, his strong and powerful heartbeat.

In just a brief second, An Ruo felt a lot and thought about many things in her mind.

"Baby, is this what they call falling into somebody's arms?" The man asked teasingly with a smile in his voice.
