The next morning, in the warm morning light, Mu Ning'an wakes up. The man beside her is gone. She can see xiaozhimeng riding on Jin Han's shoulder on the terrace. Father and daughter are looking at Manhattan in the morning light.

This is the first time that xiaozhimeng is carried on her shoulders. She is fresh and curious, but she is also afraid. Her little hand can only hold her father's hair tightly. The man's hairstyle is messy, but she is not angry at all. Her lips are full of father's love.

How delicate a man he was, typical Virgo personality, let him always be a meticulous appearance, until the daughter's appearance, instant, all the rules are broken.

Mu Ning An looks at this kind of picture, some is infatuated, spreads in the heart warm meaning, let her involuntarily raised the corner of the lip.

Jin Han turned around and saw Mu Ning'an lying on the bed, "wake up?"

Mu Ning An nodded with a smile, got up and closed her nightgown.

"I ordered breakfast and washed it out for dinner." He has arranged everything.

"Go! Cute! Brush your teeth with mom! " She reached for the child.

"Dad has finished washing my face!" Xiao Zhimeng grabs Jin Han's ear and ravages him with her hands.

Mu Ning'an thinks it funny that Jin Han has today's problems. Now she can only let her daughter do the things she can't do. She tramples, tramples and orders the arrogant man.

Women's smile is very beautiful, especially in the morning, lazy look, slightly loose hair, unspeakable charming and sexy.

Jin Han takes a step forward and kisses the woman's delicate lips.

Mu Ning'an was startled, "the child is here!"

With that, she raised her hand to cover her blushing face and ran to the bathroom behind her.

Looking at the woman's back, Jin Han raised the corner of his lips with a little pride. He liked her, especially her shy appearance.

A family of three was having breakfast when Gu Yue called.

Jin Han listens to the other party's report and responds from time to time.

Listening to the content of the phone, Mu Ning'an estimated that the conversation was almost over. She said to Jin Han, "let Gu Yue book a ticket for me to return home in the afternoon."

"Book two tickets home this afternoon." Jin Han ordered to hang up and said, "I'll go back with you."

"You should be busy with your work." Mu Ning an inclined eyes, with a little dislike.

"No, I can't sleep without you." He can speak seriously with such affectation.

Mu Ning An snorted, "how did you sleep without me in the past two years?"

Jin Han gracefully waved the knife and fork on the plate and looked up at her, "sleeping pills."

Mu Ning'an raised the cup so stagnated in the air, the three words, let her inexplicable heartache.

**

Gu Yue still needs to stay in New York and deal with some affairs for Jin Han. He can't go back until a few days later.

A family of three arrived at the airport and placed their mother and daughter in the rest area. Jin Han gave Mu Ning'an a slight kiss on the forehead. "Wait for me, I'll check in."

Mu Ning An smiles and watches him leave.

Xiao Zhimeng sees a coffee shop not far away. The clerk is tying a balloon to a little girl.

"Mom, I want it too!" Xiaozhimeng prays.

Mu Ning'an took her and went over. The store was doing activities. She could buy a piece of cake and send a giraffe with balloon.

After buying the order, Mu Ning'an turns around and meets the woman behind her.

"Ann, is that you?" Women are a little surprised.

“Doctor—Kim?” Obviously, Mu Ning'an was also surprised.

Jin qiaona, a doctor of psychology, used to be a psychologist of Mu Ning'an.

The two came to a quiet place.

"Long time no see." Mu Ning'an says hello. Since she left the United States three years ago and returned to work, they have never met again.

"You look in good shape now. I'm so happy for you." Jin qiaona smiles with great satisfaction.

Mu Ning'an shook her daughter's hand and said, "Meng Meng! It's aunty

“Aunty!” The girl's soft greetings.

“So—cute!” Jinqiaona can't help pinching xiaozhimeng's lovely face, "this is... You and Mr. You's child? Congratulations

"Oh! no We've broken up! " Mu Ning An said lightly.

Jinqiaona is very sorry to say: "it's really a pity that you were so affectionate, and he paid so much for you, I thought..."

I thought they would be together, but jinqiaona didn't go on.

Jinqiaona changed the topic and asked, "does your current boyfriend know about you?"

Mu Ning An shook his head.

"What is the child? Your boyfriend's Jinqiaona asked again.

"No, I'm married. This is my husband's child and I."

“Did—you—adopt—her?” Jinqiaona in order not to let the children understand, used an English, meaning, this child is you adopted?

Mu Ning'an shook his head, "no, it's my own!"

Jinqiaona was even more shocked, "your condition, I have followed for nearly ten years! Oh, my God! Who cured you? I must visit such an expert. "

Mu Ning An smiles, "may, it's love!"

Maybe, it's the magic of love.

Jinqiaona looks at the woman with a happy smile, she seems to understand.

After a brief exchange, they said goodbye.

Not far away, Jin Han, who has checked in, sees two people on his way back. Naturally, he hears their conversation.

While mother and daughter don't pay attention, on the way, he stopped jinqiaona, decided to ask a clear.

"Hello! I'm Jin Han, Ning An's husband. " Jin Han said.

"Oh! Hello She carefully looked at the man in front of her. His noble, extraordinary and elegant manners were beyond description.

"He's really a different man." Jinqiaona praised that since she learned that Mu Ning'an's illness had healed without any medicine, she wanted to block the man's elegant demeanor.

"I heard your conversation with Ning An just now. Is she ill? What's wrong? " Jin Han's tone was rapid.

"Oh..." Jin qiaona slightly drooped her head, raised her hand and tucked her hair, noncommittal.

"Say it The tone of man Lei Li is shocking.

As a professional psychologist, Jin qiaona can see that this is a man's nervous wife's illness, and she has no malice. She looks at him and says, "I'm Ann's psychologist. ANN has no serious illness, but has some hidden mental illness. But she's fine now. You don't have to worry about it."

"What hidden disease?" Jin Han asked.

After hesitating for a while, Jin qiaona decided to tell him: "she can't get close to men, hold hands, kiss, let alone husband and wife, so this is the main reason why she has been dating Mr. you for five years, but she can't agree to marry Mr. you."

When Jin Hanzheng was there, he seemed to suddenly understand why Mu Ning'an would pursue his legal responsibility at any cost after they had a one night stand. During that time, she was almost crazy. He also understood why she would always contradict his closeness after marriage, including her coldness and the fear in her eyes. He seemed to understand.

It turned out that all along, he was forcing her to do what she was most afraid of.

"Why Jin Han asked.

"Well... You should ask Ann." As a psychologist, it is necessary for her to protect the privacy of her patients.

After that, jinqiaona changed the topic and said, "but I can see that Ann is very happy now. Maybe she met the right person, right? At that time, I thought she had taken a big step. I didn't expect that today, her state surprised me. She is well, completely well. I am very happy and wish you well! My plane is about to take off. Goodbye With that, she left.

After hearing Jin qiaona's words, Jin Han is in a trance for a long time. He looks at the warm picture of mother and daughter sitting together in the distance, and his heart is filled with great guilt.

All the time, he thought that this woman didn't understand his love for her and his good intentions for her, but until now, he realized how much pressure this woman had suffered behind her.

Jin Han goes to the mother and daughter, shallow hook lip angle, as if everything has not happened, about the past, he does not want to uncover her finally healed scar again, even if he is very curious.

If revealing the truth will only make her recall the painful past again, won't he be the one who hurt her again? Now, he just wants her for the rest of her life, no more pain, no more sadness,

Mu Ning An Yu Guang sweeps toward him. As soon as he looks up, the man really stands there, looking at their mother and daughter.

"Got the ticket?" She asked, smiling.

Jin Han nodded and stepped forward to embrace their mother and daughter.

Mu Ning'an was suddenly hugged in his arms by the man, and his lips were accidentally printed on the white shirt on the man's waist.

"What are you doing? It's crazy! " The woman was slightly angry.

"Just want to hold you." Men pick their lips, with a little playful tone.

He had never felt that it was such a precious thing to hold her, as if it was a gift from God.

"The more people live, the more mature they are. You are better and more childish." Mu Ning'an made fun of him.

However, someone's face seems to be getting thicker and thicker. He doesn't care about women's evaluation of him. He squats down, kneels down on one knee, and is extremely solemn. Then he holds the woman's hand and kisses her fondly on his lips.

"Thank you, Ning'er." Like a 180 degree turn, men even become more serious.

"Here we are again. Get up, there are so many people!" Mu Ning An's face is hot again.

In the noisy Kennedy Airport, the passengers were weaving, but the man knelt down in front of her and put down all his dignity.

"I didn't even kneel to you when I proposed." The man said, with regret.

"So what? Do you want to propose here again? "

"Is that ok?" The man asked, a little serious.

"Don't worry, I won't agree!" Mu Ning'an choked him.

"Then I will kneel all my life!" Men hook their lips.

"Get up quickly!" Mu Ning'an tried to pull him up.

"Promise me one thing." Men cheat.

"Yes, yes! I promise you Mu Ning'an is helpless. Seeing more and more eyes around her, she is eager to end this farce as soon as possible.

"Ning'er, should we change our daughter's surname?" Asked Jin Han.

The farce in the kindergarten reminds him all the time that if his daughter doesn't change her surname one day, she has to accept criticism from others. This is something he can't accept.

Mu Ning An hesitated a little and nodded, "OK, change it!"

The man who got the permission was very excited. He got up and picked up the little girl in the woman's arms. He held her high with both hands and asked her in a loud voice: "Mengmeng, you will be called Jin Zhimeng in the future. Are you happy?"

Mengmeng was held high above her head by her father. She was so happy that she patted her little hand and said, "Mengmeng is happy!"

"Wife, thank you!" He said to the woman.

**

Back in Jinling, Mu Ning'an immediately returned to the studio.

She was shocked by the clutter of the office, with A4 papers scattered all over the desk and on the floor.

"My God! What happened? Have you been ransacked? " Mu Ning An asked.

"My God! dear! You're back at last. What should I do with this printer? " Elena stood in front of the device and asked her in panic.

Mu Ning An went to the computer and found that Elena had printed more than 100 copies of a 100 page contract. No wonder so many documents were piled up in the room.

"Why do you print so many contracts?" Mu Ning An asked.

"It's 142 pages, so I entered 142 here, right?" Asked Elena.

"Fairy sister! You printed 142 times 142! Do you want money for A4 paper? " Mu Ning'an asked her back.

The woman in front of her seems to have lost her other abilities except dancing, and almost no ability to take care of herself.

"I don't know how your last agent worked for you so long!" Mu Ning An said while intercepting the printing program.

Elena sighed and said, "I think he can't stand it any more. That's why he quit."

"All right! I guess I can't stand it any more! " Mu Ning'an responded.

"No! You can't do without me! " Elena took her arm and looked at her pitifully.

Mu Ning'an shakes her head. Soft hearted is always her weakness, especially for the woman in front of her.

"Do you know?" Elena suddenly changed her tone of joy.

"What do you know?" Mu Ning An asked.

"Li Manli! She's out of the movie business! She also held a press conference. She cried and said that she would focus on charity and some behind the scenes work in the future. "

With that, Elena picks up the remote control, turns on the TV, switches it to playback mode, and begins to play clips of Li Manli's press conference on TV.

Li Manli, dressed in plain white, stood in front of the media with a pear blossom and a rain. "Thank you for the care of my media friends over the years, and thank all my fans. Without your support, there would be no Li Manli today. Along the way, I have faced countless suspicions and criticisms, but none of these can stop me from being sincere in my film career. Recently, There are so many rumors and controversies about me that I have never explained anything. I believe that those who are in the Qing Dynasty are self-cleaning. I prefer to use my works and strength to speak for myself. This year is my 15th year as a filmmaker. In these 15 years, I have received numerous awards and applause. I think I have no regrets in my life. Next, I want to devote more time and energy to the philanthropy that I have always been concerned about... "

Hearing this, Mu Ning'an took over the remote control and dropped the TV.

"Ah..." Elena sighed, "I'm moved to hear that. If I didn't know what kind of person she is, I would have turned pink! How to say that as an actor, Li Manli's strength is still obvious to all. It's a pity

"You can believe such nonsense!" Mu Ning An's light words.

"You said it was a fake that she quit the film business?"

"Some time ago, the scandal almost put Li Manli in a desperate situation. Her new films were also affected. There was a large-scale refund boom for the tickets sold in advance. Li Manli's studio also took a stake in the film investment. Once the box office failed, the loss would be immeasurable. Moreover, Jin Han had proposed to terminate her contract with her studio, and she knew that she was desperate, That's why this kind of gimmick of quitting the film and television industry comes out. Fans will think that the idol has been misinterpreted, and will regard the film as Li Manli's farewell performance, and have bought tickets to support it. Later, she will find out that she has terminated her contract with Jin Han, which will make people more confident of her determination to quit the film and television industry and win a wave of favor. Finally, as long as the time is right, who knows if she will make a comeback? " Mu Ning An is extremely calm to analyze.

"Wow Elena exclaimed, "listen to your analysis, I think this is a conspiracy! Honey, you are so good! I can see it so thoroughly

"Don't forget, I used to be a professional PR manager!" Mu Ning An sneers, this kind of routine she is familiar with, before she is not without help other star operation similar case.

"Then you should expose her! She can't turn over! " Elena raised her fist.

"Why expose her? It's not good for me to lose this movie. This movie has invested nearly 400 million US dollars, most of which is Jin Han's money. I expose that she just can't get along with money

"Oh Elena eyebrow light pick, "has always looked at money as dirt Mu Ning An when become so obsessed with money? Or have you started to identify with yourself as the boss of ocean group? "

"What landlady?" Mu Ning'an said with a wry smile, "it has not been for a long time!"

"Although I don't know anything about finance and politics, I know that Jin Yu has two words before his current title as chairman of the board, what does that mean? It means that sooner or later, the chairman's wife will still be yours! "

"You know more!" Mu Ning'an picked up the printed contract and gently hit Elena on the head, "I'm going!"

With that, she left the office with the contract.

Elena looks at Mu Ning'an's left back with a happy smile on her face, because when she sees Mu Ning'an coming back from New York, her face is full of happiness.

Houses of Parliament.

Situ Chen walked into Jin Yu's office. "Mr. Jin, Yanting sent back the information that Luo Qingqing was adopted by Luo Cheng from the orphanage. Later, he recognized him as his sister."

That day, in the hospital, situ Chen just looked at the little girl. Maybe he was sensitive to her occupation. He always felt that something was wrong. This investigation found out something fishy.

Jin Yuzheng's hand of reviewing the documents was slightly stunned, "Luo Qingqing, it seems that he heard the name somewhere."

"She's the same group of interns with her wife who were recruited into the Ministry of foreign affairs." Situ Chen replied.

Thinking that Muqiqi is working in the same building with his enemy's sister at the moment, Jin Yu can't help thinking that he can't allow Muqiqi to be hurt any more. Even if it's only possible, he must strangle this possibility in the cradle.

"Mr. Jin, do you want to dismiss her?" Situ Chen knew Jin Yu's thoughts well, so he didn't wait for the boss to mention it, so he asked.

"It's unnecessary to dismiss her. Find a reason to send her to an embassy abroad." Jin Yu ordered.

As a matter of fact, if we don't look at Luo Cheng's political position, Jin Yu appreciates Luo Cheng's loyalty and courage as a soldier. Unfortunately, he chose the wrong position.

Since Luo Qingqing is his sister, he doesn't want to do things too well, which can be regarded as a show of respect for Luo Cheng.

"Send it to Africa!" Jin Yu added.

Most of the staff assigned to Africa have to work for more than a decade or even decades, which is long enough for her to dispel hatred.

"Yes! Mr. Jin Situ Chen naturally knew what to do.

**

Ministry of foreign affairs.

The door of Muqiqi's office rang.

"Come in, please She responded.

Pushing through the door came Zhao Xianqing, Vice Foreign Minister.

"Mrs. Jin!" Zhao Xianqing is very polite.

"What's the matter?" Muqi gets up to ask.

"Oh! There will be an activity in the afternoon to select a group of diplomats to work in Africa. If you have time, I hope you can come and check it out! " Zhao Xianqing's tone is extremely respectful. A man in his forties is submissive to a little girl in her early twenties, obviously respecting her identity as the prime minister's wife.

"Good! what the hell! I wish you could call me directly for such a small matter, and I'd like to trouble you to go there in person! " Muqiqi smiles.

Muqiqi a "you", can listen to Zhao Xianqing frightened, "dare not dare, should be."

"Here is the information of the people who participated in the selection in the afternoon. You can check it first, and then you won't be disturbed." Zhao Xianqing handed in the information with both hands and left.

Mu Qiqi sat back in his chair, opened the folder and looked through it one by one. Among the list of more than 100 people, most of them were newcomers who had been in the Ministry of foreign affairs for less than three years, and some of them had old colleagues, but the proportion was very small. I think the Ministry's arrangement should also be for training and training newcomers.

Mu Qiqi continued to look back. In a crowd of materials, she saw the names of Gu Chenxi and Luo Qingqing. The intern who was admitted to the Ministry of foreign affairs with her at the beginning, only three people stayed. She, Gu Chenxi and Luo Qingqing did not expect that they would meet again in this way.

afternoon.

Mu Qiqi comes to the meeting room of 300 people, and Zhao Xianqing accompanies her all the way.

When she opened the door of the meeting room, she found that the meeting room was full. Unexpectedly, she was the last one. Everyone was waiting for her.

When they saw them coming, there was a thunderous applause.

Madam prime minister, the treatment is naturally extraordinary.

Zhao Xianqing is very wise to give up the title of the venue to Mu Qiqi. Although Mu Qiqi has no real power as "Premier's imperial translator", the title "Premier's wife" alone, even if the foreign minister is here, is bound to give her three points of courtesy.

Muqiqi sat down and felt sorry for letting so many people wait for her. She said to Zhao Xianqing, "let's go!"

Zhao Xianqing respectfully agreed, and then instructed the Secretary to say: "let's go!"

After receiving instructions, the Secretary opened the microphone in front of him and began to preside over the meeting. After the long introduction, the activity began to get to the main topic, "next, let's invite the first candidate to give a speech, No. 001 Gu Zhixin."

……

Under the stage, Gu Chenxi and Luo Qingqing sit together.

Gu Chenxi looked at Mu Qiqi, who was full of stars in the distance. His eyes were hard to conceal and exclaimed, "I really didn't expect that Qi Qi was the premier's wife! But how could she have no airs of the prime minister's wife? I even participated in the training of interns with us and suffered so much. In fact, she doesn't have to be so serious. If she wants to enter the Ministry of foreign affairs, it's not Mr. Jin's business. "

Luo Qingqing said in a choking voice, "who can let others die? Madam Prime Minister

"How's your speech going?" Gu Chenxi asked.

"I'm not prepared for anything!"

She didn't want to go to Africa. If she went to Africa, who would avenge her brother? Who will take care of Ren Weiwan for her brother?

"What a rare opportunity Gu Chenxi was surprised, "I finally applied for this quota with the director general. Xiaobai, who has no background like ours, would be more difficult to be promoted if he didn't have the experience of performing his duties abroad."

"Oh Luo tilted a sneer, "where are those who can climb up? U.S.A! britain! France! Canada! What are you applying for? Africa! You'll never come back in your life! "

Because of his brother's relationship, Luo knew all kinds of secrets inside the Ministry of foreign affairs for a long time.

Gu Chen Xi silly ha ha smile, "at least this is an opportunity! I have to fight for it

Soon, it was Gu Chenxi's turn.

His speech is well prepared, and he will win applause from time to time. His defense session is also wonderful. He graduated from Foreign Studies University, and his multilingual language advantage has won him a lot of points.

At the end of Gu Chenxi's reply, Zhao Xianqing whispered to Mu Qiqi, "Mrs. Jin, what do you think of this man?"

Muqiqi looks at Gu Chenxi and gives the big boy a smile of an acquaintance.

Gu Chenxi was so excited that he blushed.

Mu Qiqi covered her mouth and laughed. Then she looked at Zhao Xianqing, nodded and said, "I think he's good, and I'm an intern who was admitted to the Ministry of foreign affairs with him. He's very hardworking, responsible and progressive."

Muqiqi gave him a fair evaluation.

Hearing Muqiqi's praise of the young man in front of him, Zhao Xianqing also gives Gu Chenxi a look of approval and nods his head.

Gu Chenxi's hanging heart seemed to touch the ground, which showed that his trip to Africa had been completed in all likelihood. He was very happy. When he finished, he bowed to the judge's table and said thank you to Mu Qiqi.

Back to his seat, Gu Chenxi couldn't hide his excitement. He said to Luo Qingqing: "Qingqing! Wait a minute, you do well! You must have no problem! Qiqi just said a good word for me and vice minister Zhao! After all, we are a group of interns, and she will certainly face us! "

"Ha ha!" Luo tilted a sneer.

She! Root! Ben! no Yes! Yes!

Finally, it's Luo's turn.

Unlike other people who took the stage with thick preparation materials, this time Luo was empty handed.

Although I don't like Luo Qingqing, I can't underestimate his ability.

Muqiqi is waiting for her performance.

Because she didn't make enough preparation, and Luo was very nervous, she was interrupted by the host in the middle of her speech.

"Lo chin! What about your speech? If you can't deliver a speech without writing, why don't you bring your speech with you? Do you want everyone here to wait for your slow memories? Do you know that everyone here is working hard every day? You are wasting the precious time of the premier's wife and vice minister Zhao! " The host sternly reprimanded, "go down!"

Luo tilted like a sigh of relief, bowed, apologized and said, "I'm sorry!"

Then, we have to step down.

"Wait!" Muqiqi stops her.

Luo tilted to stop, slightly frowning.

Mu Qiqi looked at Zhao Xianqing and whispered, "Vice Minister Zhao, Luo Qingqing's comprehensive ability is still very good, and the minor language she chose during her college years is Arabic. She has language advantages when she goes to Africa. This time, she may be a little nervous. Please give her another chance!"

Since Muqiqi said so, Zhao Xianqing naturally would not refuse her. He immediately asked his secretary to convey Muqiqi's opinions.

After receiving the instructions, the host said to Luo Qingqing on the stage: "the premier's wife has decided to give you another chance. I hope you can cherish it. If you don't take it seriously this time, I will reflect with your leaders to see if you are still suitable to stay in the Ministry and continue to work."

Luo Qing bit his lips, and his hatred leaped up like fire. Is this Muqiqi going to be so hard on her?

If she behaves well, she will be sent to Africa. However, if she slacks off, it is obvious that she will lose her job in the Ministry of foreign affairs. After that, she will lose the chance to get close to Jin Yu and Mu Qiqi.

Under the balance, Luo walks back to the podium slowly. She takes out her mobile phone, turns out the speech outline she prepared temporarily, and begins her formal speech today.

Sure enough, this time, her performance is eye-catching and urgent, not urgent and slow, her sentences are concise and clear-cut, and her defense is also full of golden sentences.

At the end of the defense, Luo tilted to the judges and bowed. When she looked up, she just saw Mu Qiqi smiling at her.

That clean and incomparable smile, I don't know why, has become a great mockery in Luo Qingqing's eyes. It's like a demonstration, as if to tell her that just by her words, your destiny has been changed.

Anger, in Luo's heart, churning, burning.

**

Peach garden.

Coming home from work, Muqiqi is in a very good mood.

Until I lay on the bed, my mouth was still humming excitedly, "my future style is decided by me, every action, I put in completely, constantly electrify you, accompany me to accelerate, run in our territory, write records with sweat, today I am the cover character..."

"Baby, what's so happy about?" Jin Yu rubbed to bed, hugged her and asked.

Mu Qiqi holds Jin Yu's neck, a pair of cat's eyes flicker, excited to say: "husband, today I go to be a judge!"

"Is it?" Jin Yu picked his lips.

Muqiqi nodded again and again, "the feeling of mastering the power of others' life and death is super invincible!"

Then, she choked her lips, like, "if only there were such things often."

"Baby, do you like to judge people?" Jin Yu rubbed her chin and asked her.

"Yes, yes!" Mu Qiqi nodded and said, "in the future, you should take me to attend more activities like this. Aren't you the honorary Dean of the foreign affairs college? If it's not convenient for you to attend school activities, let me go instead of you! There must be a lot of school activities! "

"Baby, don't you just want to be a judge? Where is the trouble? It's OK to be at home! " Jin Yu looked at the little girl in her arms, her eyes gradually burning.

Muqiqi squinted. This look is very wrong.

Sure enough, after a cloud covered the roof, the feeling of suffocation spread from her lips to her nose, and someone at night began to be unscrupulous.

"The clay is the key to success!" Muqi pushed him.

"Baby, comment, is this posture comfortable?" Someone's evil smile.

"No! Ah... "

"Baby, does it itch here?"

"No... itch! Animals

"Honey, would you like to try lollipop? Comment on the taste of syrup? "

Mu Qi rolled a white eye, she can say no!

But without waiting for her to speak, someone has taken her hand down, down

With the deep breathing of a man's life, the long night has just begun.
