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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfrC4FuJjF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4sS0HzpHp
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGlYFSFiOg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJbvSj8w1g
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvJU3eQbwx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaejVr6Ufe
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7INLrUFqw5
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqFwaBkwaC
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGuwViMwL1
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjicySK51N
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4sW2gCcsk
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQviQmplXE
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswQdWb66M9
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcq4QqpGps
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZinZZLm2zw
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLkEyx6u0j
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrBzrmZvoH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6ghpDYmQv
「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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7j9LIDZiC
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqYF6JsU2I
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjqPJdTaUT
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vTl9wBXxM
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXB7vfmWFf
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUjHgyFO9Q
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0fDyQ6SIf
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNfEnDJZGB
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB8xkdykwM
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBft7bhRRg
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97KBwLSGW
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFmRLc1emw
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdWm22Oew8
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkvFWUIDLD
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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaYJBKsfNx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rfxVvPQVw
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mJJCxwMzm
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK1TOj2P6s
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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq13FgST9Kk
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ3Yctj0mD
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmz4j4MKaU
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zCWwZoF4N
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAVjt95YnF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPT0g2w4a0O
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOkyn6F5TG
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ZZTfVVF4
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1PYdXHYv
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7G1D3sCW
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtQHhLQJD
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwayxruUqd
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHf6N8kGie
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5MVqTDYc8
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdau4lpCsx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMcJbZKcg7
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JMva1i03
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNjfaEZCez
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfnolyL9CJ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80LtqI3e0H
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwuFSnaPAi
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwupm1RcyEV
心情一下就變得極糟。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7yPqp5hoo
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VVCt8PEY
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBGSaFjAiU
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGZB5kPf72
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwbtEGy0lY
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWVDqAjgK
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyjUluT3ln
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmV6D1rVvl
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwdXtwTNJE
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWZq0ffToo
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJChVSEiUtd
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdxqHcpJl
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8964J3VvCZ
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9KO0z1E3
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxPNQqh6hw
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd5NrSMiSi
「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？」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sIeILeROF
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk0nvztGPw
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQmPtVJJsU
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx0NeSyPAi
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTXCFPRbcw
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2zpHaNkNH
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfsDe1LrC0
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hit2hbRMT
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD17ZDRHT6q
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNdVUUw9fW
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CsbsK6qG3
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrEYZfg8WV
「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⋯⋯！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NPx1BscgO
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuIDjSnyd1
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1FzHQx9RA
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgw5WHSN1R
「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⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0IvP9qV9E
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4yrmx3k7a
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZkPsMJHst
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHtNOOGDf7
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaoj9rAlmM
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTqo0ntxQ
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFZIOtEv63
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZo2Vk52Iy
另一邊，周天權的書房。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBm6UnkDeeV
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlCVHteVht
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。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5FFO1w2uD
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE3lTDriGz
「爸。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPllD4jbmzs
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8iUCj9XyW
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClB8rceZWV
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ODhqcnI9M
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjJzWb6RhR
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQyuhyTb26
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh1fQ0spQ6
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi58w9vMA8n
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iEVC9d9eg
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2RtkSHNXE
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEy3Zkl5vx
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0SuUEiyhy
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa9gyoc1as
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTdcaFfWxx
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH16R7PQRoL
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F7OVf5ELC
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkNoJXvALH
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqODLfxMlY
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXmvfGTVH8
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylieoM2zZx
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweh0KVY1tV
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqXCnZJM9
「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。」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlE5r7VorWS
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSqhfB8X9E
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HWQeO05h2
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeDWsE3zRb
「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！」308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2HRMiPxix
