Empty Breath

Shen Yan, a legal consultant temporarily assigned to headquarters, only wants to quietly finish her project and leave on schedule. But late at night, in the empty executive office on the top floor, she runs into Lu Shiyan again and again. He wields great power within the company and has always been aloof and reserved, yet he harbors a quiet fondness for her alone. The distance of half a step, fingertips brushing as they pass, a figure waiting late into the night, words of concern pressed deep inside and never spoken aloud. They both respect the boundaries between adults. Neither is willing to cross the line first, and neither can bear to step away. Their hearts stir in silent glances, their feelings take root with every cautious approach. There are no blunt confessions, only a tension surging beneath the surface. Between their mingled breaths lie feelings neither dares to reveal... Theme: For adults, falling in love means restraint and respect, a tenderness that honors boundaries.
