周家老宅的飯桌上，如常放滿了精緻的飯菜，傭人在後面走動添酒水，席間除了周家四人，還有李氏夫婦兩位客人。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0l67CKbWC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYyByfx2QF
「今天小凡不能來真可惜，我還特意吩咐傭人做了幾道他愛吃的菜呢。」方玉賢惋惜道。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYrYuPbU0G
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlLs21TE14
李母臉露尷尬，「就是啊⋯⋯周夫人這麽誠心誠意做的菜，是我家孩子沒口福。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGoEKTS7y7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsdgHVbAKA
「沒關係，訓練要緊，下次再吃就好。」方玉賢體諒道，又看向默不作聲吃飯的周諾寧，心裡甚是寬慰，「讓小寧到李家拜訪也可以。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWbmHD4Jwy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgP64OW46B
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOMr4Ze5AJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp51Jj02yqV
李母看了眼周諾寧，還是不太敢隨意跟她搭話，只說，「那、那當然好啊，我們隨時歡迎。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVXlJltS1Q
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEpfbHq1NC
周諾寧內心冷笑了一聲，斜眼看向周子亦，壓著聲線道，「看來你只想著算計我，倒是忘了男主角也很不合作。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SfKfCMjdy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPQaZh4ilF
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKfioRW0Fo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkCVCdfy7Q
周諾寧喝了一口水，看向父母那邊，方玉賢正和李氏夫婦言談甚歡，並沒注意到這裡的對話。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp7EvPM8du
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE6yL8EBbs
「不也就拿著一樣的東西去威脅，少得意了。」周諾寧從牙縫裡擠出這句話。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxiB5qvab6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2z3azlg5N
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROoZ6X1fZm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl4l9Sn8oS
「對了，周董事長，」李嶽看氣氛正好，謹慎地提起，「既然現在婚事也定了⋯⋯我們甚麼時候公佈消息比較好？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspoLBiKnE9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnisguSwS7
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPlkT95iCb
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaOOGUPe2c
「等到賽季結束後再談吧。」剛才一直沒開口的周天權打斷，夾著菜，毫無退讓餘地，「現在並不合適。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD1eusuZle
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBM0zt6Vfe
李嶽神情明顯一僵，似是沒有料到周天權如此決絕的答案，漸漸蒙上一層慍怒的顏色。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkY0ENCb82
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1FslySjHW
這場看似是兩家人的婚事，實際上決定權只在周天權一人手上。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUIWWkBKiq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VwNb8EjeN
方玉賢趕緊出來緩頰，「對啊，現在兩個孩子正忙碌，也都沒這個精神了，等他們忙完了再辦訂婚宴也不遲。對吧李夫人？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RbOw8LPvm
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WiyJFW8i
李母看到自己丈夫的臉色，也不好附和方玉賢，但又不能甚麼都不說，尷尬道，「這⋯⋯今天小凡也不在，我們當父母的也不好替他們決定。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCOwJ7z4HU
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8YQ9sfwtp
方玉賢怔了怔，勉強笑道，「也對⋯⋯李夫人說的對，這事就等孩子都在再說吧。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Mn39uncM
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfK1DiyEqi
這個話題雖然就這麼結束，但目睹各人表情的周諾寧，內心的疑問卻不斷發酵。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx5ne1c8DA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi2bqZ18s3
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgn47aeRy9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX15vGsovHv
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyEZcFGAtT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlZolRDB10
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vQsBEyY6U
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8M1ZV8qTn
飯後，李氏夫婦並沒久留，周天權讓周子亦跟著他去書房一趟，方玉賢則硬是拉著周諾寧去她以前住的房間，說有禮物要給她。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmwIgCBQPr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzdRyEj7CK
周諾寧嘆了一口氣，也不想現在離開跟李氏夫婦碰上，只能不耐煩地鬆開方玉賢的手，往自己的房間走。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx2F8X9ue9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7r1Z3lKRb
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolNj94Kyoe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkrydsMYes
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGYIN4UXmc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHhGvk0d0h
淡粉紅的牆紙，歐陸風的傢俱，充滿溫暖和愛的氣息，原封不動，一塵不染，一如她十二歲離開時的那個樣子。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkcE3cw4Ya
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Gdrf19Wy
但在她的記憶之中，這個房間代表著她最軟弱無力的時期，陰暗的角落裡似乎還殘留著她瑟瑟發抖的幼小身影。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjVpETyXTj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq6seFm7mS
心情一下就變得極糟。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVe0VKSuTS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69a796ZMUI
「來阿寧，過來坐。」方玉賢拉著她在床邊坐下，身側有一個禮物盒，「這是媽給你買的⋯⋯訂婚禮物。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwje8aVlvi9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CWapRihLM
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI7DrKXvMT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEP27aLtFJ
周諾寧沒有甚麼表情地接過，機械式地慢慢打開，映入一片乾淨無染的顏色，讓她的眼眸輕輕一撞。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkINO97BgLl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ferKZBfwJ
那是一件白色小禮服，胸前和衣袖的布料都用上了繡工精緻的蕾絲，搭配柔順的純白布料，跟周諾寧清冷的氣息十分相襯。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUXhqVz4hk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX7PJeySur
「雖然⋯⋯你跟阿凡還沒那麼快訂婚，但是媽還是想提早送你這個禮物。」方玉賢很是喜歡自己挑的禮物，微微笑著，「不然也不知道你下次甚麼時候再回來了。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGgcxy0beS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVWYBN0qEL
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1NELJpp2F
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklyXcSc3me
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK1JIYvVtL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw7upZk6Bl
「如果⋯⋯」她不自覺就脫口而出，「我想嫁的人不是李與凡⋯⋯你會幫我嗎？」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppA4XVCftg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5RcIS47Go
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayTMpfyfxp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlzq5pWJkb
「不行，我當然知道。」周諾寧很快清醒過來，自嘲一笑，「也對，有哪一次你會站在我這邊。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wN6spWXjP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZVEd9UppI
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6StgJYHpPI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYABo9VkA
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxJwDsmAgD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfszPr8WtK3
「反正我的人生，從來不會有一次讓我自己決定。」周諾寧的手掌撫摸過布料，沒有感情道，「因為我的父親，是一個為了不讓人知道他的女兒不會說話，就把女兒當成兒子來養的人。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOyb03Mclf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaXwoWSiE6
「當然不是⋯⋯！阿寧你⋯⋯你怎麼會這麼想的！」方玉賢震驚地說，「這都是因為你父親擔心你受傷害，所以才⋯⋯！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkELQdo02X
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgVPpUSkG7
「擔心？」周諾寧冷笑，受夠方玉賢無盡的謊言了，「所以就把五歲的小孩送去接受軍訓？不過是不會說話，又不是不會打架。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaWUb3tJlK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6V6f4n0lx
「那是⋯⋯！那時候你⋯⋯！」方玉賢乾著急，卻有口難言，只能懇切道，「阿寧⋯⋯我知道你父親一直都對你很苛刻，讓你受了很多煎熬⋯⋯可是⋯⋯他做的一切，都是希望你能擁有保護好自己的能力，不會再陷入痛苦之中啊⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCrQ7SG7lc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlbAhwBkqy
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gJtBry8LK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHVEsNwdhI
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oSMLdCZuQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriHNZYl4IF
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhSE9ac5jl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcZXwM7FEg
另一邊，周天權的書房。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTouZKhmVY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKTiI0mJCz
周子亦關上書房門，走到書桌前，周天權已經坐下，準備翻閱文件。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EkGHJTbQG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZfBtmMP1N
「爸。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYxUS3DMWX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqskYl2sTG
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdOltmThx6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17KGE4x9v5
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc62yK1hTM0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCBsRe81zq
「你用來威脅阿寧的東西。」周天權繼續翻過紙張，臉色穩如泰山，「別讓我說第二次。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGLkVXPXJi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8EAbcT2B5
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDP5kFyx2k
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiyc9Nm4GL
「我的孩子，我還不了解麽。」周天權的眼神始終停留在紙張上，全然不需要看周子亦甚麼表情，「除非拿捏住她最珍視的東西，否則她誰的話也不會聽。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IIuf60C7Q
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIoiVf9TCB
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDW3EL474
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrm6AfkBcc
「藉這個機會讓阿寧遠離那些低下的東西，是我樂見的事。」周天權無情說道，「只不過，這不等於我會讓你遵守跟她之間的約定。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpImKnInhZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEGbHKWmk
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtX5v7rdH6
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLAjEMUDw0
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy6AP6YnkB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ezcqJDpBN
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7oqwFwHTc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfqDypb4t
「封鎖好消息，別讓外界知道跟李家聯姻的事。」周天權吩咐道，「我已經在跟中川家接觸了。」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnFhvWrWZj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISTb18br93
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEApXX1mBt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCnnBeRCj9
「如果你執意保住那個女人，那就聽我說的，別讓阿寧跟你走一樣的歪路！」周天權厲聲道，「一樣的髒水，我不可能讓你們兩兄妹都掉進去！」358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27PheirAg
