The originally boisterous Xu Moyi stiffened entirely, losing strength in her hands. The large golden retriever, Barton, who was half a person's height, suddenly pressed down, its forepaws landing on her chest.
"Hiss!" Xu Moyi inhaled sharply in pain.
Geez, you sure know how to pick your spots!
Standing nearby, Xiao Ran quickly reacted, pulling the still-excited Barton off her and helping her up from the sofa.
His concern was evident in his expression, "Did it step on something important?"
The living room was heated, and she was only wearing a thin sweater, so Barton's paw must have hurt quite a bit.
In such an awkward spot, no matter how thick-skinned Xu Moyi was, she was too embarrassed to say so in front of him, nor could she rub it; she could only grit her teeth and endure the pain.
She forced a dry laugh, "No, nothing happened, Barton didn't step on me."
Her face was pale, and Xiao Ran couldn't tell if it was because of what Mu Jinhuan had said, or because of the pain.
