Shen Tianyu then turned around and left the Garden. Su Yuan, who had been unmoving in his lovers arms looked up at him with a questioning gaze.

"It was nothing. There's no need for you to worry." Che Shian assured him as he stroked his soft hair. Su Yuan then looked down. Remembering what the girl had just whispered to him. Che Shian looked at Su Yuan with a sincere expression. Sensing the gaze from above him, Su Yuan looked up and seeing the sincere expression oh his beloved's face, he tried looking down, but Che Shian caught his chin.

"Yuan..." Su Yuan looked away and balled his hands into fists at his sides. Seeing this, Che Shian let go of his chin.

"Let's go further in to talk." Che Shian led Su Yuan into the Aster Garden , his hands around the other's waist and Su Yuan followed.

...

Shen Tiayu peeked around the wall, watching them walk further away. Partially out of worry and partially out of curiosity, she had walked towards the direction of the Main Hall before rounding back to the Garden. Though she could hear even if she went inside, there was so much annoying background noise, so she hid behind the wall to watch them. 'I can just listen in on them from here.'

...

Arriving at a remote spot in the Garden, Che Shina stopped and turned towards Su Yuan again. Again, Su Yuan tried to avoid his gaze but his chin was caught.

"Yuan... Why won't you look at me? Do you not like me anymore? I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. Will you please forgive me?" His sad voice and words drew Su Yuan's eyes. He raised his hands and grabbed the front of his clothes.

"No! That's not it! That's not it..." Su Yuan trailed off as he cast his gaze away again. "I... just... I don't think... I am worthy..." He said haltingly.

"Worthy of what?" Che Shain pressed, using his other arm to hug Su Yuan, holding him in place, afraid he'd run away.

"I... I could have pushed him away... I could have called louder. It was my fault. I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Su Yuan started crying as he kept apologizing.

"Yuan...Yuan. It is not your fault. You resisted the best you could. It's not your fault. No matter what, I love you, Yuan." Che Shian comforted him and professing his love just as the girl told him to.

"But I... I was almost..."

"I love you, Yuan"

"Even if..."

"Even if something had happened, I will still love you. Yuan, you are my other half. I will always love you."

"Shian..." Su Yuan slowly stopped crying. "Yuan..." Che Shian used his thumb of the hand holding his chin to wipe the remaining tears in his eyes. After retreating his thumb, he leaned forward and kissed his red eyes on the eyelid. Then, he planted a light, soft kiss on Su Yuan's lips.

"Shian, do you really?"

"Of course. I'll say it as many times as you want, until you believe it. Yuan, I love you." He then pressed his lips against Su Yuan's and kisses him deeply.

...

At this point, Shen Tianyu decided to leave. 'Well, I guess they'll be fine now. Have to respect their privacy, I've pried enough. Right. Their privacy. They are people, this is not a yaoi manga.' 1 She then straightened herself and stretched. 'I need to find Sung Ming and report this now. Where is Sung Ming.' She then stood still and closed her eyes, a concentrated look on her face. She listened, picking through all the noise, looking for Sung Ming's voice.

This was the "gift" given to her by the Wind Shrine, what would be categorized as a scouting skill in role-playing-games. She can weave spiritual power into her words to send a message. And if she merely wanted to find some information, or someone's voice, she merely has to concentrate on her ears to listen. The phrase that was sent to her mind, along with the gift was: "Wind is everywhere. And therefore, you are everywhere." It definitely sounded way too godly and Shen Tianyu was an atheist, but she understood the message it was trying to convey. This was a gift from the Wind Shrine, so it makes use of wind. And since, Wind was everywhere, that meant she could get information and send it with the help of the element. It wasn't actually all that godly, but it was certainly convenient. However, she can only hear voices, so if someone is not speaking, she won't be able to locate them. She can't hear minute details like breathing, it would be creepy if she did.

After listening for a few seconds, she heard Sung Ming talking with Mu Shenchou in the conference room, or office. Opening her eyes, she headed there through a side entrance, she didn't want to meet the hecklers again.

As she entered the room, Shen Tianyu closed the door behind her and walked to the front of the table.

"Sung Ming, did you hear the small commotion at the end of the floor?"

"No. Did something happen?" Sung Ming put on a serious face.

"Su Yuan almost got raped in the furthest guest room by Wen family's bastard son, Wen Ruocheng. I took him to see Che Shian, they're working things out now."

Sung Ming's face took on a severe look. "The Wen family is certainly great. Even the emperor has to obey our rules here, but their Young Master actually dared to break our rule?"

In actuality, Lavender Palace didn't have that many rules. There were only 2: Don't cause a disturbance to other customers; and Treat our employees with respect. As for selling, sellers can do appointments or walk-ins and the sale is decided by the Manager or Vice-Manager. As for the workers, they merely need to do their respective jobs, there's always one day off a month, at the least, for them to do what they want.

"Or maybe the bastard doesn't have a mind so he doesn't know how to follow rules?" Shen Tinayu mocked.

"Or perhaps, his family always gets him out of trouble so he's gotten used to it?" Mu Shenchou, who had been standing silently to the side, offered.

"Either way, we need to deal with him, and maybe even the entire Wen family."
