Glancing back, Aze was already turning over and facing in.

He knew that Aze didn't like Zhan Shushu, so he walked out and closed the door, "Why are you here?" ”

"I'm worried about you, and I want to be by your side."

"Forgive me, this is not the time you should come, there are a lot of reporters out there......"

"I don't care!"

"Then you don't care about your uncle, do you? He is coming here to develop, once people find out that the relationship between him and me is used to play a role, the early investment planning will also fall short, and you don't care! ”

"I ......"

Zhan Shushu couldn't refute what Mo Junye said, but she just wanted to stay by this man's side.

"Go back now."

Mo Junye spoke coldly, Ah Li made new progress there, and Mo Junye immediately walked over quickly.

Zhan Shushu stood in the corridor, feeling sad for a while.

What did she do wrong? Isn't it wrong to honor one's own heart? If, if the person who came today was Gu Mingyi, would he also let her leave so mercilessly?

……

Gu Mingyi looked at the phone in front of her, she had been staring at it for a long time.

Do you want to hit it?

Gu Mingyi bit his lip, picked up the phone and pressed the number he knew by heart.

Zhan Shushu didn't know what to do now, and just as he was about to leave, a servant entered Aze's room and soon came out with a mobile phone.

It was probably because Mo Junye had just left in a hurry and forgot to take it.

When the servant passed by Zhan Shushu, the phone rang suddenly, she glanced at it casually, and suddenly paused, "Stop." ”

took two steps forward, Zhan Shushu was really not mistaken, this was a call from Gu Mingyi!

Why did she call at this time?

Do you want to rekindle old feelings, or ......

Zhan Shushu's heart moved, "Give me the phone, I'll send it to Ah Ye." ”

"Yes, Miss Zhan."

Zhan Shushu took the phone, waited for the servant to leave, walked to the place where there was no one, looked around, and connected.

"Hey!"

Gu Mingyi, who was on the other end of the sentence, was startled, she glanced at the phone number she dialed, and after confirming that she had made no mistake, she said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I'm looking for Mo Junye." ”

"Ah Yeta...... Very busy. I don't have time to answer your phone, what can you tell me. ”

Zhan Shushu didn't point out who she was, but spoke in the tone of a hostess.

Mingyi's clear eyes sank, and pain struck.

The voice on the other end of the phone, if she heard it correctly, should have been forgiven.

He's busy?

Are you busy with her?

Gu Mingyi really wanted to slap herself in the mouth at the moment, she regretted why she made such a call.

Self-inflicted humiliation.

"Oh, I'm fine, goodbye!"

Mingyi hurriedly hung up the phone, sighed softly, stretched out his arm and slowly hugged himself.

Sure enough, winter has arrived, otherwise, why would she feel so cold?

Zhan Shushu hung up the phone, his hands trembled slightly, after all, it was the first time he had done this kind of thing, and he was a little scared.

I'm sorry, Gu Mingyi, it's really inauthentic to ruin you and Mo Junye in this way, but she has no choice.

Not only is there a child between you and him, but also, Ah Ye's heart is still in you, there is no possibility between you, it is better to divide it completely.

"Forgiveness, what are you doing here?" A voice interjected.

"Ahh

Zhan Shushu shouted worriedly, and hurriedly said, "Ah Ye, why are you back?" ”

"I forgot to pick up my phone. What are you standing here for? ”

"Oh, I ...... I...... I'm about to give you my phone. Zhan Shushu hurriedly took out his phone.

Mo Junye took the phone, looked at her suspiciously, and left immediately.

Zhan Shushu looked at his tall and athletic back, and his heart was pounding.

Ay!

She forgot to delete Gu Mingyi's call.

What would Ah Ye do if he saw it?

Damn, why was she so careless!

Mo Junye quickly got into the car and was about to take out his mobile phone, when a call came in.

He swiped his phone and answered quickly.

Ah Li waited for the young master to sit down, immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped towards the dark night.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.

……

Gu Mingyi felt cold.

The cold, as if it had penetrated the bone marrow, seeped into every inch of her cells, she gritted her teeth and sighed softly.

"Mr. Gu, it's getting dark, it's time for you to go back." Zhu Xiaoxiao's face was full of worry.

Gu Mingyi raised his head and smiled miserably, "Okay, I'll leave right away." ”

"Mr. Gu, are you uncomfortable, why are your faces so ugly?"

"It's fine."

Gu Mingyi didn't want to say more, picked up his coat and clothes and walked straight out.

Zhu Xiaoxiao looked at her back, frowning.

What's wrong with Mr. Gu, something has been wrong in the past two days!

Gu Mingyi took the elevator down the negative floor, found the car and got in, the closed space and sufficient heating gave her a sense of security.

She sat quietly in the car for a few minutes before stepping on the gas.

The car drove onto the road.

The night is beautiful.

Gu Mingyi felt that no matter how beautiful the night was, it had nothing to do with her.

Suddenly, the phone buzzed.

Her heart moved, and her eyes swept to the three words Chang Pinxi displayed on the screen, slightly disappointed.

She freed up her hand and turned the Bluetooth on.

"Hello?"

"Mingyi, are you off work?"

"Just got off work, what about you?"

"I'm miserable, I'm afraid it's going to be a night today, or you can accompany me, so that I can watch you while working, and be more motivated!"

The corners of Gu Mingyi's mouth raised.

Chang Pinxi's hotel investment has begun, overtime has become commonplace, although he complains every day, but when he works, he is very hard.

"Come on, don't brag, as soon as I come, you must have no intention of working, work hard, I will silently cheer for you in my heart."

"Mingyi, do you have to be so cruel to me?" Chang Pinxi's voice was obviously coquettish.

Gu Mingyi shook his head helplessly, "If I'm not cruel, you will have another night tomorrow." ”

"Since you don't come to accompany me, then, I can ask for compensation."

"What compensation?"

"This year's Spring Festival, follow me back to country M."

"......" Gu Mingyi was shocked by this sudden news, "I'm driving, so I won't tell you first." ”

Hurriedly hung up the phone, Gu Mingyi took two deep breaths.

After a few days together, she knows very well what kind of person Chang Pinxi is. His affection is often disguised in his jokes.

The invitation he just sent out should not be a casual remark, but he really wanted her to go home with him.

This means......

Just then, the phone buzzed and rang.

Gu Mingyi thought it was still him, and immediately said after answering the phone: "I'm sorry, this matter makes me think about it......"

"What do you have to consider?" The man's voice was cold, indifferent, without a trace of warmth.

Every word that is spoken is full of chilling coldness.

It's him!

Gu Mingyi's heart quickly added to the memory, paused, and said with difficulty, "It's nothing." You called me, is there something wrong? ”

Mo Junye's face was cold, and the haze between his eyebrows was a little thicker, "Didn't you call me first?" ”

"......" Gu Mingyi was stunned, quickly drove the car to the side of the road, and made a double jump.

"Speak!" The silence on the other end of the phone made Mo Junye very dissatisfied.

Gu Mingyi condensed his mind, bit his lip, and said, "I'm sorry, I just dialed the wrong one." ”

"Really?" Mo Junye asked.

Gu Mingyi was silent for a moment, "Yes." ”

With a "yes", Mo Junye's heart sank to the bottom, he stroked his temples, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he said coldly: "Dialed the wrong phone, and I still have the heart to chat with others, Gu Mingyi, please bring some brains when you lie in the future." ”

The lie was exposed, just like the secret of his heart was exposed in broad daylight, and Gu Ming was angry.

"You're like this now, and you still have the heart to date a woman, Mo Junye, please do things with some brains."

As soon as the words came out, Mingyi was stunned.

Oh my God, what did she say?

Why does it sound like a jealous woman?

It's all this man's fault.

Gu Mingyi was annoyed and angry, and immediately wanted to hang up the phone, but heard him sigh faintly on the other end of the phone.

In just one breath, her heart was grabbed.

Quiet.

Death-like silence.

No one spoke again, only the sound of shallow breathing, which came to each other's ears, and knocked on Mingyi's heart again and again.

"I called, just to ask if you're okay." Gu Mingyi didn't want to deceive himself anymore, at this time, what was stubborn with him.

"If you want to know if I'm okay, come and see for yourself, I'm on the top of the cliff. Just my phone was pulled at home. ”

The phone hung up, and Gu Mingyi was shocked.

He was explaining to her.

Explain why the phone call was made by Zhan Shula.

And also.

He went to that place again.

Gu Mingyi bit his lip, and the tip of his nose was unconsciously pantothenic.

There was a cliff in that place, and that was the place he wanted to go to the most when something important happened.

It also means that he is in pain right now.

Gu Mingyi sniffed, looked away, and looked out the window.

Do you want to go?

……

"Go to the mountains."

"At this time?" Ah Li was stunned.

At this time, what kind of mountain to go to, in another twenty minutes, they will be able to reach their destination, Young Master Qin has already taken down those three people, as long as it takes a little time, he can pry their mouths open.

"Young Master, our time ......"

"Shut up." Mo Junye interrupted coldly, "Do as I say." ”

It's not that he doesn't know the urgency of time, it's just that she just said, "She'll think about it." ”

What is she going to think about?

Did the Gu family coerce her to do something?

He had to ask.

Ah Li was helpless, "Young Master, are you sure that Miss Gu will definitely come?" If we don't, our time will be wasted. ”

Mo Junye shook his head, a wry smile tugging at his lips.

Seriously, he's not sure.

Because the woman has left him now, she is stubborn to death, and her tone of voice is also very strong.

However, he had a hunch that she would definitely come.

Ah Li saw the young master's expression from the rear vision, and he knew that it was over.

He secretly scolded his mother, slammed the steering wheel with both hands, and turned the front of the car.

……

Mingyi parked halfway up the mountain and walked along the curvy path.

She had no choice, that place, that man was a nightmare in her heart, and she could only wake up from her dream if she approached it herself.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped.

Far away.

Under the dim street lamp, there stood a tall and tall man, he hung his head slightly, the smoke between his fingers flickered and dimmed, and the shadow of the lamp dragged slender behind him.

is still a straight suit and coat, low-key and luxurious, but inexplicably a little more desolate.

"Mojun Night?" Mingyi's eyebrows were lightly locked.

Mo Junye was still standing in place, his deep gaze piercing through the lingering smoke, staring at her quietly, that gaze contained too many complex emotions.

Clearly, but understandable.

Although, all along, this man is as deep as the sea. But she could still see all his emotions clearly in his eyes.

After a moment of stalemate, Mo Junye extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand and beckoned to her.

Mingyi's eyes instantly soured.

If he had done this before, she would have jumped over without hesitation and hugged him hard, but now......

It's no longer appropriate.

Gu Mingyi clenched his fists, walked over step by step, raised his chin slightly to look at him, and looked at him with a deep gaze.

A dark light flashed in Mo Jun's eyes at night, and she walked over, but stopped a meter away from him, not too close, not far away, just right.

Sighing from the bottom of his heart, he stepped forward and stood in front of her, his tall body completely obscuring the light above her head.

Gu Mingyi subconsciously wanted to retreat, but found that he couldn't move his feet at all.

He was thin and had a sloppy beard, but his eyes were bright and looked at her gently.

With just this one injury, Mo Junye understood all her emotions, and there was a slight pain in his heart, he smiled indifferently, took off his coat, and draped it on her.

"I'm not cold......"

Gu Mingyi refused, but found that the man had already turned away, stood at the tuyere, took out a cigarette, lowered his head and lit it.

Mingyi's heart trembled violently, and a thin layer of wetness covered her eyelashes, and there was no way to say anything more if she refused.

On the edge of the cliff in the middle of the night, the man stood with his hands behind his back, and the woman behind him looked at her silently, and the dim light shone softly on the two of them, with an indescribable gentleness.

Ah Li looked at the scene in front of him through the car window, took a deep breath, and looked away.

The coat on her body made Mingyi surrounded by a familiar aura at the moment, and there was a wry smile on her lips.

In fact, from the moment she made up her mind to move out of the villa, they were really over. Knowing that there is no ending, why struggle in love.

But, I just can't let it go!

She decided to speak, "Mo Junye, you'll be fine. ”

"You just believe me?"

"That's right. I'm sure you're not going to do that kind of thing. Gu Mingyi's voice was resolute.

This man has always had a bottom line, she can not believe anything about him, only this one thing, she believes in it without a line.

After another long silence, Mo Junye popped the cigarette butt, turned around, and looked at her deeply, "Why do you believe it?" ”

Gu Mingyi was surprised, she moved her lips, and smiled reluctantly, "Because, you are Mo Junye." ”

Because you are Mojun Night, I believe it.

It's that simple.

Mo Junye's heart ached, and his voice trembled slightly, "Gu Mingyi, you went back to Gu's house, and even your speech was up to the level." ”

"Whatever you want, you can do it."

Gu Mingyi sighed helplessly, "I just hope you don't lose heart and find out the person who really harmed you." And also...... Yunfei, Qin Fan, Xiaoxiao, they will all help you. ”

Me too!

Mo Junye smiled.

The woman called him and ran up the hill in the middle of the night, just to comfort him.

How soft-hearted, kind, and lovely she is......

"What are you laughing at, are my words ridiculous?" Gu Mingyi was a little annoyed. It's all this time, and he can still laugh, what a bastard.

"If you don't laugh, do you cry?" Mo Junye suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled the coat she was wearing for her.

The man's breath came to his face, and Gu Mingyi was about to speak, but he heard a few buzzing vibrations.

Mo Junye immediately let go of her, took out his mobile phone, and walked a few steps away to answer the phone.

His voice was low, but he could faintly hear words like "containers, stocks."

Gu Mingyi gritted his teeth, took off the clothes on his body, walked to his side gently, and stood on tiptoe to drape them for him.

Immediately, he turned and left.

Suddenly, the hand was grabbed firmly.

Without waiting for her to react, her hand was clenched tighter, and when she raised her eyes, the man's eyes had darkened in a circle, and he looked at her with burning eyes.

And the phone in his hand is still on the phone.

Gu Mingyi moved his lips and said in a low voice, "I'll go back first." ”

Mo Junye ignored her, his hand used a little force, hugged her into his arms, buried his head in her soft hair, and took a deep breath.

"The matter of the stockholders, you came forward to appease. Find out the best crisis PR in City B and come forward to settle the media. Also, try to make an appointment with the Minister of Propaganda for me tomorrow......"

Gu Mingyi's heartbeat accelerated.

This breath ......

Too familiar......

Familiar with it, every night, as long as she thinks of him, the tip of her nose can float with his breath.

In my ears, it was the deep voice of a man; In front of him, it was his warm chest, and Gu Mingyi's heart ached.

Just once;

For the last time.

Let her indulge in it.

Gu Mingyi sighed softly, rested his head on his chest, and slowly stroked his back with his hand.

One time.

One time.

Mo Junye's body trembled, a light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately hung up the phone and called in a low voice, "Xiaoyi." ”

"Ah Ye!"

Gu Mingyi's eyes were moisturized.

It's been a long time since she's heard it called.

At this moment, there was no struggle in his heart, Mingyi just lay in his arms like this, greedy for this warmth, and this peace of mind.

Maybe in the future, there will never be again.

Mo Junye sighed.

At this moment, he let go of many things and many disordered emotions, and he didn't want to think about it, and he hated to think about it.

Big things are not as important as the woman in his arms, he doesn't want to be Mo Junye at the moment, he just wants to be her "Ah Ye"

After a long time, he let go of her, but he held her cold little hand tightly, and his fingers were interlocked. "Come with me somewhere."

"Where?"

"Confidential!"

Gu Mingyi didn't expect that Mo Jun would take her to the dock at night.

The night was dark.

There are ships moored on the docks, and it's one of the busiest places in City B.

The cold wind blew, and Gu Mingyi shuddered, "Why did you bring me here?" ”

She didn't understand what it meant to him.

Mo Junye looked at her sideways, his gaze was very deep, and then he pointed with his hand, "The ship in front of you is the one that had an accident." ”

Gu Mingyi frowned and looked at him puzzled.

"There were sixteen crew members on that ship, and they were all my brothers. After it happened, I'm going to check them out, guess what they say? ”

"Since they are brothers, then they will definitely let you check it very frankly."

"Yes. As a result, not a single person betrayed me. Mo Junye's tone was proud, and his eyes shone brightly.

Gu Mingyi was silent for a while, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "They all believe in you, just like me." ”

"It's different."

Mo Junye's voice was muffled, "You are different from them. ”

Her trust was precious to him.

Gu Mingyi's tears, which she had endured until now, finally fell, she raised her head and looked deeply at this handsome man.

Mo Junye noticed her gaze, but did not look back, "There is something that I have been thinking about for a long time, I have always wanted to say it, but I have never had the courage to say it." ”

"What is it?"

"I'm sorry!" Mo Jun sighed faintly at night, and clearly spit out three words, "That matter, although it has nothing to do with you, but my attitude is still ......"

Mo Junye couldn't say it anymore, but he had to force himself to continue, because now that he thought about it, he felt like a bastard.

"It still hurts you."

"Nope."

Gu Mingyi's tears fell even more fiercely, "I know how you feel, I have never blamed you." ”

Even though she was dying of heartache in those days, she still didn't hate him in the slightest.

Is there anyone in this world who is more uncomfortable than him?

Mo Junye stretched out her hand and wiped the tears in her eyes with her fingertips, "You don't know. You don't know that a man also has cowardice, there are times when he withdraws, and even when he is furious. But, believe me, it won't be long before I find out thoroughly. ”

The smile in Gu Mingyi's eyes slowly bloomed, "You noticed that something was wrong, didn't you?" ”

"Hmm!"

Mo Junye nodded, "Grandpa has been wise all his life, and he loves me so much, he will never let me have a child with an enemy's daughter." ”

"Actually, I called you that day to tell you about it."

"I'm sorry, that day, I sat in front of my grandfather's hospital bed all night. At that time, I didn't have a way to face you. "Mo Junye didn't want to hide anything anymore.

He now stands in front of her, a truest version of himself. It hurts, it hurts, it bleeds, it hurts, it hurt......s

"Xiaoyi,

Mo Junye chuckled, his smile deep and complicated, "Do you think I'm a bastard?" ”

"No, never." Gu Mingyi responded to him with a choked voice. Every word comes from the heart.

Mo Junye held her face, looking at each other, and could clearly see her reflection in each other's eyes.

That's what he (she) is engraved in her (his) eyes, and it can't be erased in this life.

There is no substitute.

Mo Junye smiled slightly, dropped a kiss on her forehead, and whispered, "I'm leaving." ”

"Where to go?" Gu Mingyi's heart tightened.

"Go and investigate. This matter has hit the Mo clan too hard, and if the people are not investigated, the Mo clan may ......"

Mo Junye paused, and held the woman in his arms again, very hard, as if to embed her into his body.

"Grandpa's life's work, tens of thousands of Mo's employees...... I can't let the Mo's ruin in my hands. ”

Gu Mingyi stroked his back and burst into tears.

He is right, he is human, a man who will be cowardly, who will retreat, who will be berserk.

This man has a heavy burden on his body, so he hides all his emotions behind that cold and ruthless handsome face.

"Wait for me!"

Mo Junye bit out two of her ears, suddenly let go of her, and walked into the night.

The arms fell into the void, and Gu Mingyi's heart also fell short in an instant, she involuntarily chased a few steps and stopped.

Ah Ye, the Mo clan will never be destroyed in your hands, I promise.

Tears fell silently, Gu Mingyi covered his lips and didn't let himself make a sound.

"Miss Gu, the young master asked me to send you back." Ah Li walked up silently and looked at this sad woman, his eyes were a little unbearable.

Gu Mingyi raised his eyes, smiled, and smiled with tears in his smile, "Thank you, please send me home as soon as possible." ”

As soon as possible?

Ah Li was stunned, and immediately said, "Miss Gu, please get in the car." ”

The car drove away from the dock quickly, and Gu Mingyi only realized at this moment that his coat was still on his body.

Involuntarily reached into his pocket, and suddenly, she touched something, and when she took it out, it turned out to be a slightly crumpled piece of paper.

She unfolded it and saw that the tears she had just put away gushed out, and the pain hit her, almost making her unable to breathe.

On that piece of paper, two familiar words were clearly written: cherish!

It was a missing page from the notebook, torn up by him, and then, he hid it on his body, never leaving it!

Gu Mingyi's tears fell even more fiercely.

After a moment, she looked up, and the tears washed by the tears were incomparably clear, with a touch of firmness.

……

Gu Mingyi got out of the car, and Ah Li watched her walk into the back of the Gu family from the car window, and always felt that there was a frightening determination.

How so?

Ah Li was a little strange, but he left quickly, and he wanted to return to the young master as soon as possible.

At this moment, the Gu family is full of tranquility.

This is the style of the Gu family, conservative, quaint, and conformist.

Gu Mingyi remembered that when he was in the Mo family, he was full of smiling warmth all the time.

Uncle Chen's kind smile, Aze's cheerful expression, Ah Li's honest voice, and ......, his intoxicating eyes......

She will always remember that time in her heart and will never forget it.

Gu Mingyi walked to the door of the study, and a trace of light shone from inside.

She stood in front of the door, inhaled deeply, exhaled, and for a while, opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes was thrilling.

"Knock knock, I'm Gu Mingyi."

After a long time, there was movement inside, "Come in." ”

Opening the door, Gu Zhengting was still sitting where he usually sit, and the book was still in his hand, as if he hadn't changed since he left.

He's waiting for himself!

Gu Mingyi felt this way, but he walked over to meet Gu Zhengting's gaze and sat down.

Come straight to the point.

"If I promise to get engaged to Chang Pinxi, will you come forward to help Mo Junye?"

Gu Zhengting put the book down and smiled faintly.

"I can't help ......him if he did it"

"It's not him."

“…… Then, I can help him buy time, control the driving force behind the scenes, and give him a chance to find out the truth before he falls. ”

That's ...... Enough, right?

With Ah Ye's ability, as long as he is given a little time, he will definitely be able to find out the truth!

Gu Mingyi believed in him 100%, and now he just needed to buy time.

She laughed slowly, and at that moment, Gu Zhengting's eyes widened suddenly, and she was stunned in place.

He had seen such a poignant but touching smile before.

Once, when he said that he couldn't marry Qingyan, she smiled at him like this, and then, turned away, never appeared in front of him again, and didn't even tell him that there was already a child between them......

Gu Mingyi smiled shallowly, then nodded and said one word, "Okay." ”

Gu Zhengting's pupils shrank sharply, his body shook slightly, and the previous fragments poured out of his mind, and the pictures he thought he had forgotten were so clear.

Shaking the armrest vigorously, Gu Zhengting stabilized his mind and nodded.

"I know, you made a very correct choice, you can help Mo Junye like this, and you can also have an explanation with him."

"If it's okay, I'll go back to my room first."

Gu Mingyi stood up calmly and walked out calmly.

No one noticed that her heart was dripping blood at the moment, and the "good" just now used up all her strength.

She thought she was speaking very firmly and loudly, but in fact, she herself couldn't hear it.

The door of the study was closed, and Mingyi stood outside the door, leaning weakly against the wall of the corridor, she knew that her choice was the right one, and she could do something for Mo Junye.

But why, her heart hurts so much.

It hurts so much that even breathing becomes a kind of torture......

Mingyi returned to his room and threw himself on the bed, allowing himself to fall into a dark slumber.

That's fine.

In this way, it is good......

……

Shen family.

Although Shen Ling's death made Shen Han and Shen Xintong very sad, it did not make them collapse.

"Brother, there's something wrong with the company."

Shen Xintong received a call from the company and hesitated, feeling that this matter was not something she could solve, so she could only ask Shen Han for help.

"Several partners terminated the contract at the same time, and they have already sent people to negotiate, but it seems to be ......"

Shen Xintong bit her lip with self-blame, the company's losses were too great, and she was incapable.

Shen Han carefully looked at the information of those partners, and his face slowly became gloomy.

He touched Shen Xintong's head, "It has nothing to do with you, you are doing a good job." ”

"But brother, these ......"

Shen Xintong just wanted to say something, but was shocked by the emotion in Shen Han's eyes, and subconsciously stopped.

Why, my brother has such an expression, can it be said that this is artificial? Does he know who is targeting the Shen family?

comforted Shen Xintong a little more, and Shen Han asked her to go about her own business.

My sister was gone, and the strong expression on Shen Han's face dissipated in an instant.

He believed it!

He believed that he had done it himself, so he began to avenge Mo Junye!

Those few partners are inextricably linked to the Fu family, if it were him, it would be easy for them to stop their cooperation with the Shen family!

Shen Han's hand clenched into a fist and slowly sneered.

Sure enough, Fu Yunfei is a man of his word, and he said that he would not let him go, but really, he would not leave any affection......
