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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUYby1Qyie
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Xvxh0G7R
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB8EYXwyKG
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREoePBDP8O
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7pbfnpZkz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRXgZ3euoD
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROok3eRrLO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LXzKaKr9I
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdZWGsj2wt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWv9ZME8FN
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyV13CkSmm
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY2BdrMSXm
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhhHi7Tjbs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ782R9gZ2bf
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHCX861C6A
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61OhFwG9ma
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ26WNW3Ixh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR83yshFukl
「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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHOpgMfsg7
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX7XnTFNEv
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HQh73kpO2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WUAaU6BRg
「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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvaB1DCAE5
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoTA0AOqYU
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNS5HWI8NK
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDT4Zxjetg
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v8t0OYtAb
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk35sCJBFC
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcR1pvHrkO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPiGDIxf4b
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm42ONHhYBR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER5jwYPcpT
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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwnrQwMbG4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42RVBopTPw
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2A3xNKgLv
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48HmFVSrR1
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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDaE0AjMUi
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaHxp4gcfQ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LZGUdSvbS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTev15LDsDk
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SRAmFjMv2
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gcaGS7x9x
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRzSvGv4gp
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv8i0KHrWb
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMnUPqV64w
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMVCXmWQn
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEJlPcChQR
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHeHBdxNQi
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTELEXGz1g9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMTCECKbjl
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucR5NwDKgH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3k25jPncc
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmM7HIMOwf
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVMcqJ0xKW
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvB5iloxpH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcxaWIceHc
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8WELMaFXg
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUvgqjRhyu
心情一下就變得極糟。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHvoYsURTO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAEAX61eza
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdRUtcdXns
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMFoRBqlzO
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXPqloavsO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I8unahPvK
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUexl3Cpuh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBoXbP1mVJ
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLUZnR3xBh
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rs9MDt0nY
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tbgVQDift
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSJa40XaAZ
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtOB2epSiO
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLS5Nd0HL
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSRNjwgYiz
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWybHrDEhat
「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？」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4yCaTvY4e
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQfFyoBkBi
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbBPVdvRBZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL6qHeXK34
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIJsLibmtQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5koO1q2duW
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mBp0Li9W
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6el1OxRBqN
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzfA7F4KbH
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJSUw6KYM
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkSEiRgFgS
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0v0ek3ZeI
「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⋯⋯！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h4rhoy0J9
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxfPL03yZE
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0W8lF62Ir
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzfL3ZIVdo
「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⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmzFKpWUHY
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUglaeiIfHc
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZRwO5PEWC
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2SxcopJ5f
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacpToXlVp0
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1t37LMNyq
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8V01npahk
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j99Hw8KkT
另一邊，周天權的書房。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgmVb4AsH4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89qRqK9LFo
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。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqGXc53CBW
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2RHFKeFaH
「爸。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxEYupDLXt
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29OX2w6vza
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH6jxnR48L
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXWwT06my5
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9z4g12yAZ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnUs7DBA3w
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIePhDpROc1
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOroGUxXxS
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTtfyRyEHQ
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpS1JidGsz
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36BvtCeZUI
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JWJQ1rTAg
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CpPvbqiRD
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X20vRWrFR
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI69wcvOle
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgNd83Cxqm
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhjkvLvqYq
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGeXRgo9Ol
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDw62Rx0Aj
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgcDqE3FbY
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuXh6RBGAs
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DxpOzd3PJ
「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。」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB6oexImec
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlgSuHz7s9
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zQ5BKWgo4
368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmsQwIplVO
「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！」368Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl44sXVJXg0
