My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Is she... really that good?" Gu Li asked while crying.

"Of course!" Chang An covered the ribs in his arms again, wanting to keep them warm.

"My mother Gu is not only beautiful, but also well-educated, intelligent, gentle and virtuous. She is also very well-behaved, sensible and reasonable. How can she not be good?"

"She is always delighted by the small surprises and gifts I give her. No matter how expensive or cheap, big or small, she will be sad if the gifts I give her are damaged."

"She is never greedy and never asks for too much. She would be happy for days because I cut the human hair with my own hands, but she would never let me reach for the stars and the moon."

"With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?"

Gu Li's lips were trembling and tears couldn't stop falling, but the smile on his face was so gentle and touching.

"Maybe it's because she feels content with having such a good man, so she doesn't ask for more," she said.

Chang An said, "My Gu Niang is indeed content, but I don't feel content. I want my Gu Niang to be the most carefree lady in the world!"

"She loves to eat candy, so I personally purified white sugar for her and made candy for her, which she loves to eat; she suffers from lung disease and often coughs, so I personally boiled rock sugar and snow pear for her, which is good for her; she is weak and will suffer when she gets pregnant, so I personally make donkey-hide gelatin cakes, which is what she needs."

"Even last year, when I entered the Prime Minister's residence to help you manage the evil money, it was also for my mother Gu."

"My mother, Gu, is a wealthy woman. She has saved a lot of money from her own pocket for a long time. She even ordered a beautiful folding fan for me. This is it——"

As Chang An spoke, he pulled out the folding fan from his waist and opened it. Gu Li could see that when he lowered his eyes to look at the folding fan, his brows were filled with indescribable tenderness.

"Since she is a wealthy woman with so much private money, she will naturally spend it sometime. My plan is naturally to stop the bad money from being minted, so that there will be no more private money in the world, and let my mother Gu spend money with peace of mind and at ease."

At this point, Chang An pouted again and said, "If my mother Gu accidentally exchanged the bad money, given her temper, she would definitely be afraid that I would be angry and not tell me, and secretly swallow this loss."

"Once she was wronged, I naturally couldn't bear it, so this was the original intention of my doing evil money."

"I would rather betray the world than her. Everything I do is for her."

"My mother Gu always says that she wants to give me 10 or 8 big fat boys so that I can shut up the elders in the family. But she is weak and I feel bad for her if she gives birth to one, let alone 10 or 8. This is her most disobedient side, she just loves to act childishly."

Gu Li couldn't help laughing as he listened, and a blush appeared on his face. He sniffed, and then said with tears and laughter: "When did I say such a thing?"

But Chang An did not respond to her, as if he did not hear her.

The car was quiet for a while, with only the sound of raindrops falling outside.

The carriage stopped, and Chang An also moved, sat up, nodded slightly to the "stranger" in front of him, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your company, lady. I am home now."

Chang An got off the carriage and came to the eaves. He did not go in directly, but looked outside the door. Then he shouted:

"Mother Gu? Mother Gu?"

"Chang Lang, I'm here." Gu Li got off the carriage and came behind him holding an umbrella.

Chang An turned around, and Gu Li was a little afraid that the other party had recognized the wrong person again. But he never thought that after seeing him, the other party shouted in surprise: "Mother Gu, you are here!"

Only then did Gu Li feel relieved, as the other party happily pulled him over and kissed him on the cheek. But then, Chang An frowned in confusion and asked:

"Why does Gu Niang's face look a little salty and wet? Did she cry just now?"

Gu Li quickly sniffed, shook his head and said, "Chang Lang, I'm not crying. It's because you drank too much that your tongue got weird, and your face is wet because it's raining outside."

"That's good, that's good, it's good that you didn't cry..." Chang An breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the lotus leaf bag from his arms and asked mysteriously:

"Does Gu know what's in here?"

Gu Li answered without hesitation: "It's the roasted spareribs. The roasted spareribs from Xinluan Restaurant, right?"

Chang An's face, which was flushed due to drunkenness, showed a trace of frustration, and then he reluctantly opened the lotus leaf, revealing the ribs inside.

"Mrs. Gu, how did you know that? Did that lady just tell you?"

"Where does the other woman come from? I've been the only one here from beginning to end." Seeing that he was really drunk, Gu Li continued to act with him.

"In the carriage, here—"

Chang An rewrapped the ribs, turned around and pointed at the carriage, but there was no movement and no one was there.

"Strange? The person is missing?"

Seeing him like this, Gu Li took his arm and said, "Maybe it's time to leave. Let's go home."

"Okay!" Chang An nodded.

At this time, Chang Wenmeng, who heard the noise outside, also came out. Seeing Chang An and Gu Li standing at the door, he walked forward. Just then he saw the tear marks and red eyes on Gu Li's face, and felt something was wrong, so he asked:

"Yonghe, where did you go just now?"

Chang An was about to answer, but Gu Li pulled his arm, and then he heard her answer:

"It's okay, father. It's nothing. Chang Lang just drank too much."

"Drinking? But..."

Chang Wenmeng wanted to continue talking, but Gu Li kept giving him a look, so he had to give up and waved his hand, saying, "You guys go back first."

Gu Li nodded, then pulled Chang An into the house.

As soon as he returned to the house, Chang An shouted, "Huaiqin! Go get a pair of chopsticks!"

Gu Li helped Chang An sit down at the low table and complained, "Why did Chang Lang drink so much? Didn't you say you can't drink too much?"

"Mother Gu, I was wrong..." Chang An sat in front of the low table, put the ribs in his hand on the table, and admitted his mistake seriously.

"By the way, has Madam Gu eaten the donkey-hide gelatin cake?"

"I ate it. I didn't eat too much." Gu Li sat next to him and said, "Chang Lang, go wash up first and come back to drink some sobering soup."

"No, no, let's go later. No matter what, you have to let Gu Niang eat the food." Chang An refused directly, "If you don't eat the roasted ribs, they will get cold. If they get cold, Gu Niang won't like them anymore."

At this time Huaiqin just came with some sobering soup and chopsticks. Chang An took them one by one. After drinking the sobering soup, he picked up a piece of roasted pork ribs with chopsticks and put it close to Gu Li's mouth.

"Mrs. Gu, please try it. Is it still warm?"

Gu Li opened his mouth and took a bite, chewed it in his mouth, and then said, "It's still warm."

After such a long time, the ribs certainly couldn't be warm. In addition, it was raining outside and the air was very humid, so the ribs were a little cold at this time.

"That's fine, that's fine."

At this time, Chang An hugged Gu Li in his arms and put a piece of ribs into her mouth. Then, while she was chewing, he rubbed her face and kissed her hard.

This was the first time that Gu Li did not mind the smell of alcohol on Chang An. He quietly nestled in his arms, which gave him a sense of security, and ate the meat he fed him.

Chang An was a little puzzled at this time, and asked: "Doesn't Gu Niang dislike the smell of alcohol on Chang Lang? Why is she willing to be hugged by me today?"

"I don't dislike... I have never disliked Chang Lang." Gu Li gently wiped away the tears that rolled down again and said with a sob.

"Mother Gu, are you crying?" Chang An heard the sobbing tone in her voice and quickly reached out to wipe Gu Li's face, "Could it be that someone really bullied you?"

"No one bullied me, I was happy." Gu Li quickly defended, "Chang Lang was drunk, but he still cared about me not eating well, so he brought me some spare ribs, I was happy..."

"Oh..." Chang An was really drunk. He didn't even think about it and kissed Gu Li on the cheek. "This is not worth crying about. You should laugh if you are happy."

"My Gu Niang is the best. You must be happy every day and not cry. If you cry, Chang Lang will feel bad."

"Well," Gu Li nodded and wiped the tears from his face, "I'll be obedient and I won't cry anymore."

"That's right." Chang An smiled foolishly and rubbed Gu Li's cheek again, "My Gu Niang must be the happiest and most carefree lady in the whole Chang'an City. She can't cry and become a crybaby."

"Yeah," Gu Li nodded, and leaned on Chang An's face again, "I want to eat more. I didn't eat well because Chang Lang was not here for dinner."

"Okay, open your mouth..." Chang An picked up another piece of pork ribs.

"By the way, Madam Gu, do you know what I said to the lady who was traveling with me in the car just now?" Chang An asked, resting his head on Gu Li's shoulder.

"What did you say? I want to hear it too! Did Chang Lang say anything to apologize to me?" Chang An also saw that Gu Li's cheeks were puffed up at this time, probably because he was angry.

"No, no, don't be angry, Madam Gu. I have just reported it to you." Chang An quickly rubbed Gu Li's belly and said.

“The lady knew how much I doted on my wife, so she asked me: Is it worth it to treat Gu Niang so well?”

"I answered: I can let down the whole world, but not her. Everything I do is for her."

Gu Li continued his speech and said, "Really?"

"When has your Chang Lang ever lied to you?" Chang An hugged Gu Li tighter again.

"She has a charming and graceful figure, and her body is evenly proportioned. She is as beautiful as a lotus, and her face is as white as pearls. The bright moonlight beside the wine shop is lighter than snow, and her demeanor is graceful and her feelings are genuine. Ice and snow cannot hide the beauty's feelings, and her beauty is beyond the ancient and modern times. Everything I do is for her, and I will never let you down or the world down."

Chang An finished reading the poem and ate all the spareribs in the lotus leaf. Gu Li wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and turned around in Chang An's arms. Only then did Chang Lang see her tearful eyes.

"Why are you crying again?" Chang An's head was groggy, but he was too familiar with Gu Li's face. He reached out and wiped the tears from her face.

But it seemed that the aftereffects of the alcohol had completely taken effect. After wiping away Gu Li's tears, Chang An fell directly into her arms, leaned on her shoulder and fell asleep.

"I will not let you down, and I will not let you down either..."

Gu Li hugged Chang An, gently stroked his temples, slightly bent his head, and gently kissed him on the forehead.
