My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Of course I don't plan to take a concubine... No, why should I take a concubine?" Chang An was obviously a little annoyed now.

Seeing Chang An like this, Gu Li was also a little scared. She was also afraid that he would be angry. She wanted to comfort him, but after opening her mouth, she could only squeeze out a sentence: "Chang Lang... I'm sorry..."

"I misunderstood Chang Lang. Please stop bothering me, Chang Lang."

Gu Li said this, and then she withdrew her hand in fear, twisting her hands together, lowering her head and not daring to look up at Chang An. She thought about it and it seemed that this was the first time she saw Chang Lang angry with her, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Chang An had indeed never said that he had the intention of taking a concubine, but he was the one who always had wild thoughts. Every time he saw Chang An getting close to another woman, even if they just passed by, Gu Li would have this thought in his mind, and then when talking about certain things, he would always talk about taking a concubine.

"I...I'll put the things away. Can you calm down, Chang Lang?"

Gu Li said carefully, then quietly took the box, closed it, and was about to get up when the box in her hand was taken away. She was startled, then looked up and found that Chang An stood up with the box and shouted towards the door:

"Huaiqin! Prepare the horse! I want to go to Madam Zhang's house!"

"Chang Lang! Chang Lang!"

Gu Li hurriedly shouted: "I...I am just imagining things, Chang Lang, please don't be angry, okay?"

Gu Li was so anxious that he was about to cry, his two little hands tightly clenching the corners of his clothes.

"I will never say such nonsense again. Chang Lang will not take a concubine. Chang Lang treats me very well. I will never say such nonsense again. Chang Lang, please don't be angry, okay..."

"If Chang Lang is angry with me, he can just ignore me and vent his anger on me. I... I will sleep over there on the couch tonight, alone, without a candle. As long as Chang Lang doesn't get angry with others, Madam Zhang just gave birth to a little boy, Chang Lang shouldn't vent his anger on her, okay..."

Seeing her like this, Chang An's tears began to well up in his eyes, so he tried to speak softly, "I'm not angry."

"Chang Lang is angry..."

"I'm not angry. I just want to return the things to Madam Zhang and cut off all ties with her. I also want to tell her not to do things that would cause you to misunderstand me again." Chang An said.

Gu Li's skirt was already wrinkled by her, but she still said, "You don't have to return it to Chang Lang. I just thought too much and misunderstood Chang Lang. It has nothing to do with others."

"I shouldn't have let my imagination run wild..."

Chang An saw her crying, so he sat back beside her and said, "Mother Gu is my wife, and it's normal for her to have wild thoughts. What I want to do is to prevent Mother Gu from having such misunderstandings. This is not good for us."

After saying that, Chang An placed the box of flower cards in front of Gu Li.

"I won't return it. I'll let Gu Niang keep it. How about that?"

Gu Li raised her tearful eyes and looked at Chang An. Seeing that his hands did not move, she reached out and quickly took the box, fearing that Chang An would go back on his word.

Then she quickly got up and put the box back into the drawer of the dressing table. After she finished all this, she looked up at Chang An and said, "Chang Lang, go to the study to study. I won't disturb Chang Lang."

"Ah."

Chang An nodded, then got up and left.

For the rest of the day, Gu Li didn't dare to talk to Chang An, and just silently picked up food for him during meals. At night, when Chang An came back from taking a bath, he saw Gu Li take out a quilt from the cabinet, then walked to the couch opposite the bed and began to arrange it.

"Mrs. Gu?"

"Ah... eh."

Gu Li didn't expect Chang An to call her. She was stunned for a moment before responding.

"What is Gu Niang going to do?" Chang An asked.

"I... I'll sleep alone. What I said this afternoon is my punishment. I'll sleep alone and wait until Chang Lang is no longer angry, then I'll go back to sleep." Gu Li said, hugging the pillow.

Chang An said with a smile: "I'm not angry."

"what?"

Gu Li raised his head blankly and looked at Chang An.

"What? Didn't I tell Gu Niang? I have never been angry." Chang An said, "Since I am not angry, why does Gu Niang want to punish herself?"

"I......"

Chang An came forward and said with a smile: "And didn't Gu Niang say that she couldn't sleep without me now, and Gu Niang is afraid of the dark. How can she sleep alone?"

"But...but, I..." Gu Li was a little at a loss, not knowing whether he should sleep in separate beds or not.

Chang An grabbed her pillow and said, "Anyway, whether Gu Niang is with me or not, whether she can sleep or not is none of my business. Anyway, I can't sleep well without Gu Niang by my side."

"If I don't sleep well, I will have to sleep on the table when I go to the Imperial College tomorrow, and I will be scolded by the headmaster..."

As he spoke, Chang An hugged his pillow and said in some embarrassment: "What should I do?"

Gu Li looked at Chang An like this, and finally smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I get it, I'll just go back to sleep."

"That's right." Chang An said, and simply sat on the couch with his pillow in his arms.

As if he felt that he had picked up the wrong thing, he threw the pillow aside, and took Gu Li, who was still standing stupidly beside him, into his arms, then rubbed her face and said:

"Hmm... this feels much more comfortable than a pillow."

"Is Chang Lang really not angry?"

"I'm not angry. It's just a misunderstanding. Why should I be angry?" Chang An said, "I was just a little irritated at that time because I made Gu Niang misunderstand me."

Gu Li nodded and said, "I shouldn't have misunderstood Chang Lang."

"What's the point of saying this now? Haven't we already resolved the misunderstanding?" Chang An said as he stood up holding Gu Li and sat back down beside the bed.

Then he put his hand on Gu Li's belly and said, "Come, let Aye see if our little darling has grown up well."

"Yes, Chang Lang gives me so many delicious foods every day, so Xiaoguai must have grown up well." Gu Li patted Chang An's hands gently twice and said.

"I eat a lot now. I eat a lot for lunch and dinner every day. Chang Lang also saw it."

"Of course I saw it, because Gu Niang has Xiaoguai in her belly. So I not only have to feed our Daguai, but also the Xiaoguai in Daguai's belly. When two people are eating, of course I have to eat two portions." Chang An said with a smile.

"Is such that."

......

The next morning, Chang An still had to go to the Imperial College for classes, but at the door, he saw the maid Lian Ping standing at the door again. He immediately frowned, then walked up and asked, "What's the matter today? Did Madam Zhang ask you to come?"

"Forehead......"

"No, no, this time I came on my own." Lian Ping handed the basket in her hand to Chang An and said, "Yesterday's was my wife's thanks to Marquis Dingkang, today's is my thanks to Marquis Dingkang."

"These are just some snacks. Marquis Dingkang and his wife can also satisfy their cravings on weekdays."

Chang An frowned and said, "I see. Give it to the doorman and he will deliver it later."

"Yes, Marquis Dingkang."

Lian Ping handed the basket in her hand to the doorman, and then watched the doorman walk back to the mansion. Then she heard the voice of Marquis Dingkang: "You don't have to be like this. I didn't save Madam Zhang for your reward."

"There's nothing wrong with you coming up to our place to eat during festivals or something like that. But what you're doing now is no longer a way of repaying a favor, it's harassment."

Lian Ping was stunned for a moment: "This..."

"I've said it before, I'm helping a mother, and this is what I should do. I'm not doing this for your reward, but to allow you to live a better life," said Chang An.

"You are doing this and are so overly enthusiastic. I am afraid my wife will misunderstand. If helping you is to cause trouble to my wife, I can just not help you."

"......" Lian Ping was speechless, and finally squeezed out a sentence, saying: "I'm sorry, Marquis Dingkang, I will go back and tell my wife."

"That's the best."

After Chang An finished speaking, he got on the carriage and left.

Lian Ping watched the carriage leave and was stunned for a long time before leaving.

She returned home. Zhang Aiyu was up and taking care of little Zhang Ji. When she saw Lian Ping coming back, she asked, "Where have you been?"

"My lady, I went to deliver some snacks to Marquis Dingkang." Lian Ping replied.

Zhang Aiyu nodded, and then said: "We can't do anything big, so it's okay to send some snacks on weekdays."

"Sorry, ma'am." Lian Ping apologized suddenly, which made Zhang Aiyu a little confused.

"What's wrong? Did you do something wrong? Why are you apologizing?"

Lian Ping replied hesitantly, "My lady, Marquis Dingkang said that we should not go looking for him all the time."

Zhang Aiyu frowned slightly, and then after listening to Lian Ping repeating what Chang An said, she was slightly absent-minded. Then she smiled and shook her head, saying, "Then let's do it. During festivals, we will visit Ding Kanghou's mansion again."

"My lady, does Marquis Dingkang dislike us?"

"Of course not. If he disliked us, why would he say such things? He just doesn't want us to be troubled like this." Zhang Ai Yu said.

"Marquis Dingkang doesn't dislike us, he just doesn't want to be burdened by this matter."
