Huatai Law Firm.
Xiang Yuan's law office.
Xiang Yuan sat in the executive chair, staring at the letters on the glass door, somewhat lost in thought.
He remembered the time right after they got married, when he first brought Shi Nian to the office. She looked around timidly, feeling uneasy among the furnishings and decor, each with elegantly crafted lines. Although the firm belonged to her husband, she was clearly ill-at-ease, hesitant to sit or touch anything.
——Even though they were already legally married, the sense of unfamiliarity between them hadn't dissipated. On the surface, it seemed she was uncomfortable with the office style, but it was truly indicative of the distance she felt from him.
He tried to help her feel at ease, walking with her through each office, introducing everyone in the company.
Later, she became particularly interested in the letters on the glass door—perhaps because they were in Chinese.
