rose ashes

They said that the baby chose his mother in heaven and chose her.
But Luo Yang truly felt that what their family had found was not a little angel, but a naughty monkey, the kind that was essentially no different from a flying monkey.

In the spring of 21, on the last day of March, Ye Luoxing was born. He was the noisiest baby in the entire delivery room. His loud voice was probably destined from that day on.

Ye Luoxing's arrival was not smooth.
Before giving birth, Ye Gu would supervise Luo Yang and have regular checkups every time, and the fetal position was normal until before giving birth.

The doctor just said that the baby’s head might be a little too big, and the possibility of delivery difficulties cannot be ruled out.

"Then can't we just do a caesarean section?" Ye Gu looked at the doctor with burning eyes without even thinking.

The doctor did not deny it, "Indeed, you can discuss it and then make a decision."

In the car——
Ye Gu said nothing. Liu Min originally wanted to report on his work, but he keenly sensed something was wrong. He decided to stop while he was ahead and slowly raised the partition.

Luo Yang looked at his profile. If it weren't for the pouting mouth that ruined the look, it would have been more refined.

She became playful and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his cheek, which collapsed instantly.
Luo Yang lowered his voice and pretended to speak softly: "Hello, Wei\\Ni, why do you look unhappy? Can you tell me about it?"

Ye Gu couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he still kept a forced expression on his face. He said in a deep voice, with his hands folded, and didn't look at her.
"Do you think you are a pig? Talk like that."

Luo Yang nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, his eyes clear as ever: "Yes, yes, I am your good friend Pi\\Jie, so can you please not be unhappy?"

Ye Gu couldn't hold it anymore, he let out a long sigh, and pinched Luo Yang's cheek with his backhand.
But he couldn't bring himself to use too much force, so he just rubbed it gently for a while.
"So let's do a C-section, okay?"

"But the doctor only mentioned a possibility. When did our young master become so scared?"

If it is dangerous, then there cannot be any possibility, not even 1%.
"Yeah, I can't help but be nervous if it's you, so you have to listen to me this time, just once, and I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"

Luo Yang looked straight into his eyes. It was a handful of spring water. When he scooped it up, there was not a single impurity mixed in. Even a hint of darkness could not hide.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
In fact, when Ye Gu asked the doctor, Luo Yang had already thought of a caesarean section, but she didn't expect Ye Gu to get there before her and be so nervous.

I remember when I was playing games with Sang Huaiyu, someone asked, "If something happened, please raise your hand if your partner would definitely put you first. If you didn't raise your hand, drink some wine~"

At that time, Luo Yang instinctively raised her hand, but when it came to really talking about what aspects, there seemed to be so many that she couldn't explain it clearly at the moment. But everyone kept asking, and Luo Yang couldn't stand it. She could only find the thing that still impressed her from her distant memories.

When they were ten years old, Luo Yang and Yang Yue had a very big disagreement.
At that time, she and Ye Gu were still neighbors, living in adjacent villas. However, a family that had moved out on the other side moved in with a new tenant. That family had a girl who was about the same age as Luo Yang, and it was said that the family was familiar with Ye Gu's family.

Entrusted by their elders, the little girl began to play with Luo Yang and the others. The girl was cheerful and eloquent, and she quickly integrated into the circle of children. She even replaced Luo Yang and became the more popular child. During that time, even Tian Tian had a better relationship with her, and all the children who used to follow Luo Yang became that girl's little tails.

Although Luo Yang felt uncomfortable, her pride would not allow her to bow her head or be jealous easily. She still maintained her usual behavior and played with them.

But she began to find that there was always that girl beside Ye Gu. Although Ye Gu never responded or paid attention to her, she was just a child at that time, and she felt a sense of loss. Since the girl's arrival, her friends have distanced themselves from her one by one, so is Ye Gu leaving now?
The girl's attack was fierce, but Ye Gu remained unmoved. However, in Luo Yang's eyes, who was full of a sense of crisis at that time, even if she just said one sentence, she felt that Ye Gu was already like everyone else and closer to her.

Because of this incident, she became silent. No matter how Ye Gu asked, she didn't want to talk to him.
But things did not stop here. An accident made Luo Yang the target of public criticism.

That day was the girl's birthday, and she invited all the children, including Luo Yang.
Luo Yang was hesitant and didn't want to go, but Yang Yue patiently said that it was someone else's intention and if she didn't go, she would disappoint others. If a friend didn't come to your birthday, would you be disappointed?
Luo Yang thought about it and decided that yes, because of Yang Yue’s words, Luo Yang thought that the girl still regarded him as a friend, so he carefully prepared gifts and attended her birthday party.

At the birthday party, Luo Yang saw an elaborately crafted crown on the table. She reached out and picked it up to take a look. It was indeed finely carved. Soon, she put it back silently.

But the next day, Luo Yang had just got up when the weather outside changed. The girl burst into tears and said that the crown was stolen by Luo Yang.
In fact, this was just a trivial matter between children, but unexpectedly, her friends all came to persuade her to return the crown.

Luo Yang found it funny. She was furious: "I didn't even take her crown, why should I return it?!"
The children were about to talk but stopped talking. Someone took out a photo, which was a picture of Luo Yang holding a crown and looking at it at a birthday party.

Luo Yang paused, tears instantly filling her eyes. It turned out that she could be convicted just based on a photo that came from nowhere. What made her even more desperate was that the shackles were put on her by her former best friends.

At that moment, she seemed to have completely fallen into an endless abyss of hell. She felt nothing even when the flames burned her skin, and her nerve endings had been paralyzed, losing the last bit of perception.

She rushed out the door, saying that she would never want to care about them again, but behind her could still be heard the children's persuasion and lamentations, saying that as long as they corrected their mistakes, they would still be good children and their good friends.

She didn't want to be their friend. Someone who didn't even have the most basic trust was not worth her staying.

That night, Yang Yue came to Luo Yang's room with hot milk, but the expected comfort and hug did not come as expected.
She just stroked Luo Yang's soft hair and said earnestly: "Ah He, go and apologize, and this matter will be over."

Luo Yang's eyes widened in disbelief, "Mom, this is a false accusation! Why should I apologize!

Yang Yue looked at the excited Luo Yang calmly, and said slowly after a long while: "Even if it is a false accusation, before there is evidence, everyone will naturally think it is your fault. Putting aside the trust issue, this rumor will affect you, do you understand?"

Perhaps Luo Yang was not mature enough at that time and failed to understand the deeper meaning of Yang Yue's words. She was just angry that even her beloved mother did not believe in her. She felt trembling all over, as if she was in an ice cellar. She did not want to be in the same room with Yang Yue.
From that day on, she and Yang Yue fell into a cold war. Luo Jiancheng hugged Luo Yang comfortingly and said that he believed in A He. Those were the words Luo Yang had always wanted to hear in those days.

Because of this incident, friends who used to play with Luo Yang no longer play with her at school. In group activities, Luo Yang was always the only one left behind. But she was very proud. She didn't think it was shameful at all. If she asked herself, she had done nothing wrong, so she shouldn't have bowed her head.

There was a lot of commotion among the crowd.
"Ye Gu, what are you doing? Don't go—"
"open!"

He walked out of the crowd and looked at the teacher: "Teacher, I am alone too. I am in the same group with Luo Yang."

With the teacher's permission, he smugly stood beside Luo Yang, stretched out his hand and carefully pulled Luo Yang's sleeve, "Tell me, am I loyal enough?"

Luo Yang's heart was beating wildly, her cheeks were flushed, and she pursed her lips: "I'm a thief, why do you care about me?"

Ye Gu frowned, "Who said you are a thief? How is that possible!"
Luo Yang was slightly stunned and picked up the rope on the ground, "Do you believe me?"

Ye Gu's matter-of-fact expression came up again, and he said nonchalantly: "I believe you would not like such an ugly crown. Besides, if you like it, I can give it to you. Who cares about hers?"

Luo Yang rolled his eyes and sneered, "You believe in my aesthetics, not me."

On the weekend, Ye Gu took Luo Yang and called everyone, including the girl.
He looked down at the girl and said, "Please apologize to Luo Yang."
The girl was puzzled and found it funny until Ye Gu took out a video of the girl digging out the missing crown from the garden.

"She didn't steal your crown at all, and you slandered her and wanted to ruin her reputation. You are too bold. I am different from Luo Yang. I have a bad temper. Do you believe that I can make you unable to live here?"

The girl felt guilty but still managed to hold on: "My parents and your mother are good friends, you don't dare!"

Ye Gu smiled, "Please, go find out who Luo Yang's godmother is. It's my mom. My mom is the one who would beat me up just for her. What do you think?" "Also, let me correct you. It's not a question of whether I dare or not, but whether I want to or not."

At last, Ye Gu seemed to be asking for credit, "Is there any reward?"
Luo Yang turned his head away, feeling a little awkward: "Thank you."

Ye Gu was obviously not satisfied. "Just a verbal thank you. Tsk, I think something is missing."
Luo Yang glanced at him and said, "Then what do you want?"

Ye Gu thought for a moment and snapped his fingers: "I want the film camera in your room!"

Luo Yang was shocked, "You are so cruel. Okay, I will get it for you."
That film camera was a gift that Luo Jiancheng bought for Luo Yang when he was on a business trip abroad. In fact, Ye Gu also had one, and Luo Yang didn't understand why he wanted another one.

It wasn't until she returned to the room and saw the crown placed in front of the cabinet that she suddenly realized.

Ye Gu walked up the stairs leisurely and leaned against the door, "This one suits you better, hers is just too ordinary."

Luo Yang looked at the crown in silence for a long time, staring at the rose on the edge of the crown in a trance.

After a while, Luo Yang suddenly asked: "What if I really took her crown?"
What would you do?

A few seconds later, Ye Gu said sincerely, "There is no if, because you won't. Of course, if you do that, there will be a reason, and you will definitely tell me."

Later, a friend asked Ye Gu why he did that even when he didn't know the truth. He blurted out: "There is no reason, I just believe in her, and I don't want her to be hurt by the trust she values ​​most, so even if everyone leaves her, I won't leave."

"What if she leaves first?" asked the friend.
"I said I won't leave, no matter what, I won't leave. I'll just wait here."
"Wait even if you can't wait?"
"Well, I'll wait even if I can't."

/ / /
Probably because of this, Ye Luoxing sensed his father's favoritism towards him and his mother since he was born, and therefore he often troubled Ye Gu.

In order to take care of Ye Luoxing more conveniently, Ye Gu simply took him to the company.

She has a cute look and inherited the seriousness and aura from Ye Gu, which makes all her brothers and sisters love her very much. But when Ye Luoxing cries, she is not so cute anymore, and her voice is like a sudden rainstorm, unstoppable.

As usual, Ye Gu was working in the office processing documents and making various decisions. Ye Luoxing suddenly burst into tears for some reason. Liu Min just happened to come in and wanted to help Mr. Ye share some of the burden, so he planned to coax Ye Luoxing.

But Ye Gu said firmly: "Liu Min, ignore him and let him cry."
Liu Min was slightly stunned, looking at Ye Luoxing with pity, his big tears rolled down like pearls and hit the leather sofa, sparkling and translucent.

Ye Gu didn't even look at it, still processing the documents, and handed some instructions that needed to be issued to Liu Min.

"Don't worry about him. There's no reason to cry. No one has the responsibility or obligation to make you happy all the time. Just go and deal with your work."

After Liu Min left, Ye Luoxing was still crying, but because she was tired and out of breath, her voice was a little softer.
Ye Gu put down the pen in his hand, walked over slowly, half-knelt in front of Ye Luoxing, reached out and wiped the tears from his face with his fingertips.

"Xingxing, look at your dad." Ye Gu looked at him with a calm tone, without any sign of temper eruption.

Ye Luoxing is already three years old and has been able to speak for a long time, but when he is upset, he will deliberately not answer or speak.
But Ye Gu didn't get angry because of his little temper. He just wiped the sweat from his forehead and straightened his shirt collar.

"Are you going to come to the company with dad today? Dad won't force you to speak. If so, just nod. Dad has taught you that you must tell the truth even if you are angry."

Ye Luoxing looked at Ye Gu with his watery puppy eyes and nodded unwillingly. Originally Luo Yang asked him to stay at home, but he insisted on following Ye Gu to the company because he thought it would be more fun with more people. However, after coming, he found that it was completely different from what he wanted, so he was very unhappy. Because as long as he cried, he would attract other people's attention, so he started to cry loudly.

Ye Gu held his hand and patted it gently, "Okay, you didn't say those angry words on purpose because you were angry. You can have an extra pudding when you get home. Then tell Dad, is it because you feel that no one is around to play with you and you feel bored, so you want to cry?"

When it came to the point, Ye Luoxing's grievances were directly exposed, and he shed two more tears, but his manly strength made him swallow them back.
He nodded. He felt aggrieved that his father knew the truth but still ignored him.

Ye Gu patiently persuaded Ye Luoxing, picked him up and let him sit on his lap.
"Did Xingxing see what Daddy was doing just now?"

"Writing..."

"So if Dad keeps calling you while Xingxing is drawing, will you be happy?"
Ye Luoxing lowered his head and said truthfully: "No."
"What would you do if your dad kept calling you?"
Ye Luoxing's eyebrows were tangled, but he still said: "I will tell mom that dad is always annoying me."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly began to worry. He looked up at Ye Gu, his innocent eyes pretending to be 100% serious: "So Daddy is going to go back and tell Mommy, does Xingxing bother you?"

Ye Gu chuckled and pinched his nose. "No, but about this matter today, Daddy has to tell Xingxing that the brothers and sisters are as busy as Daddy now. Just like Xingxing has to help Mommy to get the little pudding, the brothers and sisters can only get the little pudding like Xingxing if they work hard. So Xingxing was wrong to cry unreasonably just because she was happy. Although Daddy knows that Xingxing would be willing to share her little pudding with others, the brothers and sisters prefer the little pudding they get through their own abilities."

Ye Luoxing has a strong ability to understand, and he understood Ye Gu's metaphor immediately.
Suddenly he felt a sense of responsibility as if he had been entrusted with an important task. He clenched his fists and looked at Ye Gu.
"Okay, Dad, I know I was wrong, Xingxing knows it, now is everyone's little pudding time, during this time Xingxing will be obedient, Dad can you forgive Xingxing?"

Ye Gu kissed Ye Luoxing's forehead, "Dad doesn't blame you. Xingxing knows her mistakes and can correct them. Dad will definitely take Xingxing to the amusement park she has always wanted to go to this weekend, okay?"

Ye Luoxing's eyes lit up instantly, and he hugged Ye Gu's neck and kissed him on the face.

A group of people outside the door watched and sighed, "Can I say that our Boss Ye is good at educating people?"
Someone nearby hunched over and whispered in agreement: "It has to be on the list. You have to be very patient."
"This is probably the Mr. Ye we won't see unless we become his son."
"Didn't Mr. Ye like his daughter?"
"You don't understand, even if you like your daughter, your son is still your own. This is the highest level of being a good father!"
……

That night, after Ye Luoxing fell asleep, Luo Yang had just finished reading a book and took off his glasses when he saw Ye Gu returning to the room.

"Did Xingxing cause you trouble at the company today?"

Ye Gu rubbed his brows and said, "No, all children are like this, it's not a big problem."

Luo Yang suddenly chuckled, "In the past, Ye Gu would argue with his children about right and wrong, but now he has become a good and competent father."

Ye Gu hugged Luo Yang and responded to her teasing in a dull voice: "Because it was not easy for him to come here, and you suffered, so I hope he can grow up well. As long as he can be an upright and clean ordinary person, it will be my greatest expectation for him."

Although it was a caesarean section, Luo Yang had a very difficult time giving birth to Xingxing, and her postpartum recovery took longer than others. He went for surgery while Luo Yang was in the confinement center, and since then he only had Ye Luoxing as his child.

Luo Yang asked him if he regretted wanting a little princess so much.

Ye Gu just held her and played with her fingers, then said in a stern voice: "No matter how faint the star is, it is our only star. I will love it very much and have no regrets."

"The stars are the embodiment of love," said Phi Bailey.
And Ye Luoxing is everything they love, and they will love him forever without any regrets.
