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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ837H5zciIV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaFgD5z1sy
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTO3ifSw95
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY8XC07es2
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TbVifgq4Y
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsO1eC5CGG
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xQMJYcNDt
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrgoYHf29q
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6om0IC2qYG
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVtLDdJWqJ
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx91VJKLNx
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfbYLJxXxH
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlb5yFsHlA
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdQWl1f65g
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19StJHgBsO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhy8jZCPEx
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd84zguCD7B
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kVHeFbwbp
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv0X3Pzclw
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutvKt8Qc7y
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUhXGdixju
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXrHsYrRlT
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgmcXWLEXX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmnqHGKLoq
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxHom6YmSZ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRfyTHzfL
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfyPD7Gsty
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CBzdg2CF2
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXV5v3rP5O
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu9QQ7fRVI
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMuaMZ4RvO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuYrew3wEx
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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrOGtOn1gs
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjsMNR3uZc
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFFy3PxvlQ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6NnWJwqC6
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03juEjvMU3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpMAvj3JaL
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJLMfgsbq2
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYvFsZOurC
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOls4ES6ZRe
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEQSWgTR3I
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfezNHA50le
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNsjugbKmb
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvldWDd6s8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetsvuzY20y
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN34jKD1mq
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9yV7flTV8
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnif0yRZBVg
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcmxhfWojc
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTurKJNdXW
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Qi0B3WDl
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsOD1hLvpS
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUqtPhXnj
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BbB98Ux0V
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHexcDJduY
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKVdw0GAz8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbmsXUXncD
心情一下就變得極糟。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeXu0Ioin7
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWCK8wQkcx
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIdncM8AXD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfei3sc8n0o
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzC4jrx38s
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aiNCBALZ3
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlkZzILRp5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbZii9su87
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAEUXtUs6e
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oXuTpeR6C
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZfHsESD6
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJBhyhHW5g
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVHTYSQfx2
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj42SndB8KI
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7n5nUzl9d
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh77nAxoKB6
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPvOSOC8Yy
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyUIZYT1VK
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmaFbwlDA1
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9g0TGULka
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVwCWoFmRl
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpOtPi2WoQ
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6R2kkpHoW
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLIF5Gp7Ck
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPdZVd5LQb
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3UqJxAC38
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVrE1cT6Ru
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqVBizZPBH
「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⋯⋯！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQWytHJZKJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMr26VhK3G
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CRCMadN0M
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4Y6Z7yKxC
「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⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaGfLF8Rjs
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFrUWVEqjB
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjXeJD5EXb
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIZeoyEFtr
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjicncc9yD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJclWm7sLn2
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn60IvRyUf
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQxFK0zPE0
另一邊，周天權的書房。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPXC4Fzic6
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPK3nsJHwy
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMVTuEUExr
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0KIBhOZNc
「爸。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhudUJoRNAO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87M7stbP5S
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIFwrhHNhf
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnVimWx5Ki
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMthmDXzAkP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEutka0EGRj
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9WM3uc8PL
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVylJVTpoC1
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CDKN4WMVE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1363ndYQX
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKonueLlhY
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6AT4540AW
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHizmAdaQpR
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB4yM5Md53
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZvhLLrPc5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7qHenYZKP
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEK4lfBk85
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslXvEYdxia
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnytc2xTiE1
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwrFyDtMaD
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC9ygXs583
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi94QpmFRjT
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvRcTTJQmA
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnvcggzkRh
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YsBn6Ecgt
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIGJIhDAFH
「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！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhFgXyQQY7
