Lu Xuan rarely saw him so serious, and his heart immediately tightened. He sat upright across from Liu Tan and asked cautiously, "What... are you talking about?"

Liu Tan said with an enigmatic look on his face, "Let's talk about feelings, the future, and us."

Haha, everyone knows how to reciprocate.

Lu Xuan looked a little bewildered, but he was very sensitive to Liu Tan's emotions. He knew Liu Tan must be upset, so he whispered, "Don't be angry. Tell me if I did something wrong. Just... don't be angry."

Liu Tan's mouth twitched. Why did it feel like he was bullying someone?

But Lu Xuan was right about one thing. Once a problem arises between two people, it is best to sit down and talk it out. If it can be solved, then solve it. If it cannot be solved, then break up peacefully and don't let the little affection between the two people be worn away.

Liu Tan coughed lightly and said seriously, "Don't you want others to know about our relationship?"

Lu Xuan was slightly stunned, and then, not knowing what he was thinking about, his face changed and he said, "This is my fault."

Liu Tan: ???

I haven't even said anything yet and you're already admitting your mistake? Are you so straightforward?

At that moment, Liu Tan couldn't help but use the universal sentence: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Xuan said, "I didn't consider you. I was too self-righteous and didn't want others to know about our relationship until I had reached an agreement with the court."

Liu Tan also didn't expect that Lu Xuanzhen was not just talking, but seriously analyzing his mistakes.

At this point, no one could continue to be aggressive, let alone Liu Tan.

Liu Tan leaned over the desk, looked at him, and said, "Are you worried about me?"

Lu Xuan replied softly, "Well, I'm worried about affecting your reputation."

Even if Lu Xuan intellectually felt that he had done nothing wrong, not everyone could understand that. Moreover, why should the people of Chang'an understand Liu Tan from his perspective?

The most important thing is that after their relationship is exposed, will those people suspect that Liu Tan is colluding with foreign countries?

Wusun and the Han Dynasty were not in a hostile relationship, but that was all. If the deal was reached and Wusun was confirmed to become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty, then it would not matter if their relationship was exposed. Otherwise, many problems would easily arise.

When Lu Xuan reached his position, what he wanted more was stability. He didn't need any ups and downs. He just wanted Liu Tan to be well.

Liu Tan understood Lu Xuan's intentions to some extent and respected Lu Xuan's choice, so he said, "Okay, let's keep our distance in public."

Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Liu Tan was not an unreasonable person.

He was just about to hold Liu Tan's hand and say some sweet words when he saw Liu Tan suddenly stand up and say, "Then wait a minute."

Then I saw Liu Tan running out in a hurry, and after a while he ran back in a hurry.

Lu Xuan looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Liu Tan smiled and said, "Nothing serious. I just ran over and threatened all the embroidered envoys sent by my father."

Lu Xuan was shocked:???

Lu Xuan knew about the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, who was the emperor's most powerful intelligence force. It was said that no one in Chang'an City was not afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy.

So his Ah Tan... just threatened the Embroidered Uniform Messenger?

Lu Xuan asked, "How do you know who the Embroidered Robe Envoy is?"

Liu Tan said, "Those people have been following me all the time. They have never changed. Even a fool can see that. And they have never hidden it."

Probably because Liu Tan never shied away from anything and openly let them know everything he did, and never interfered with the work of the Embroidered Uniform Envoy, making the Embroidered Uniform Envoy's life very comfortable, so he did not hide his tracks.

Even the King of the North doesn’t care, so what are they afraid of?

Although Liu Tan was carefree, he still had a certain degree of control over his palace, which was evident at times like this. He could easily threaten the Embroidered Uniform Envoy not to tell anyone about his relationship with Lu Xuan.

Although Lu Xuan kept a distance from him in front of others, he was not so particular inside the palace. Moreover, the two of them did not avoid each other when talking, so maybe they knew it.

Even if Liu Tan wasn't afraid of their relationship being exposed, but Lu Xuan didn't want to and had good reasons, then he had nothing to say and could only cooperate.

Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. For the first time, he felt Liu Tan's tolerance for him. He said gently, "Next time, I will definitely tell you first."

Liu Tan patted the place beside him and said, "Why are you so far away? There are no outsiders here."

Lu Xuan readily sat beside him. Not only that, he even put his hand around Liu Tan's waist without Liu Tan's consent.

Although Liu Tan was active and proactive after the relationship was confirmed, he couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face at this moment.

Lu Xuan whispered, "Didn't you say I haven't hugged you yet? Then come hold me."

Although Liu Tan felt embarrassed, he still let Lu Xuan pull him into his arms.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly. On a quiet night, a man and a woman were alone in a room.

Lu Xuan's breathing was slightly disrupted. He tentatively lowered his head and kissed Liu Tan's forehead. After not being rejected, he boldly placed several kisses on him, from the forehead to the high nose bridge, and finally to the rosy and soft lips.

When Lu Xuan's kiss came, Liu Tan took the initiative to look up and chase after him. At this time, he was lying in Lu Xuan's arms, with his head slightly tilted up. The moment their lips touched, he lost the initiative.

Lu Xuan's kiss seemed to be venting the possessiveness hidden in his heart. It was fierce and urgent. His arms around Liu Tan tightened more and more, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.

Liu Tan's breathing rhythm was disrupted for a while, and later he even felt dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

By the time Lu Xuan let him go, Liu Tan only had the strength to hold Lu Xuan's neck and breathe heavily in his arms.

Lu Xuan gently caressed his back and kissed him again, saying, "I've never kissed anyone before. Did I hurt you?"

Liu Tan's heartbeat was still intense, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Not... not so bad."

After a pause, he added, "You really are... gifted."

He had never asked about Lu Xuan's past love life, always feeling that asking too much would be detrimental to harmony. At that time, Lu Xuan didn't know him, and he was the leader of a minority ethnic group. It was normal to have personality education enlightenment in this era.

However, he didn't expect that Lu Xuan really didn't have any. Could it be that he was busy with government affairs because he succeeded to the throne at a young age?

As Liu Tan was guessing, he noticed Lu Xuan's kiss moving down. He cooperated by slightly raising his head, and then Lu Xuan bit his Adam's apple and nibbled it gently.

At that moment, Liu Tan only felt a pain in his waist, but his brain was excited because of such a dangerous action.

He reached out to grab Lu Xuan's clothes, but found that Lu Xuan suddenly stopped. He looked over in confusion and saw that Lu Xuan was taking deep breaths to suppress his impulse.

Liu Tan smiled and reached out to push the man. Lu Xuan was caught off guard and fell to the ground. He watched as Liu Tan quickly sat on him and couldn't help but hold onto his waist and asked, "What are you doing?"

Liu Tan deliberately said viciously: "I'm flirting with you!"
