You can use description on label control using default visible= false, After that you want to display with particular Row : Then you can find that row and that label & alter its visible property to true.

Solution partially depends on how you want to display it?

You need to put in some effort. You can't expect other people to do your job for you.

As I understand readmore meant to show full article/description instead of two-three lines.
this can be implemented using javascript or code-behind postback.

1) Through javascript: You can have two labels first with truncated data (ie two lines) and second with full data. Second label will be hidden initially using style="display:none;". While clicking on button it will hide first label and show second one using style="display:block" and button hides as well.
