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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0e20mSB8p
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZlnFrtWLg
「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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TH7yFN7Dx
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFWt6v9nqa
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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWsexAxhct
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4nJOIYbwk
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMyfQNTtHx
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMn0y2YU4O
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyXQdwC9YA
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jE5EgalTx
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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7rNC1vHzi
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2qO6MC0H3
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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDJlBcKTno
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxW4QTvonl
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbklbP0E5oX
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBoO3Dn3wi
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl0624kYrn
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUER3WikbMr
「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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNA9eMEJd2
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMFanoFlN0
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD32Pp4j8Ll
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QgNpheDrq
「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？」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qQdPiEvvG
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1iJxzYVAn
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhaZNcr0SH
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW4KMBVkha
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ShyZUDg2
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuJNFKkewC
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWfuhjgJQc
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJVDherv2j
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfWIHyVBLR
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFFA4Fky19
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？」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxfxEFMsw1
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMgBKKNAb
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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmFQGdR4GW
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDQUeWXWd9
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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWhpK2ti63
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfISdabXcp
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeiRSlvqhQ
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAF72PwDnn
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzMYIQsQx3
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6DuTbElGz
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvzAZC0R7Z
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGHZ8K497w
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4Vd7fspzE
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtbaxZ2fTe
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgMV7WQHV1
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt796NKB9b8
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWtxQQ00V2
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb66NkHYy3O
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDHshNoeQC
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5HzOcsgn6
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoOlm55qgB
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2efsTdYU06
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOFXqtW1KV
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46kc1Ks9xX
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUAcncOMot
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOsSsnKq4U
心情一下就變得極糟。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6QrbWQjON
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWDoO8Tayz
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfWtDsWufi
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMEyb9uZ5A
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpZVhzg9zh
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡied0nIfexU
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCBbUpEJTJ
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0uNUZxJVw
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI56SAGRZU
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn6112E7C0
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZvyFNvT0A
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcvkwqXpY4
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwJuG7E6a
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNPrZ3xR4K
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62DA6NiAtn
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw3A91cEv0
「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？」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKdyCeVjrN
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcGz4wS81D
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsetgjLDpkH
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQmKwqOasL
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj71GKMMJnK
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYwZb4w4Hu
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK6HJpUTWg
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFYZmIcdXd
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gyYDifN9x
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ciaDgGMlX
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimybkr0D9t
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwjfpFyTpP
「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⋯⋯！」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LhSXxWMhW
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU1Vi0BkYg
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GZENleM89
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuq3ZTfCCm
「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⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9TlSnVqf2
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHNXGPYNVy
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcItowH6ez
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFtXvRnGh5
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wyLwlqc4S
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi72MkA0kKr
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7b3XNfb0T
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcYem4mA1W
另一邊，周天權的書房。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf86jx7h8p
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw7zStFHbI
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。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvcb35clqU
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0t14YE3ea
「爸。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUakj4BC2N
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOpRMWmiW7
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs362cVxSgC
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXdhZRXKFr
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtrzd3lFKz
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydRAnGdCyT
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1TwW9vPa
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPUFOtdnWG
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHZVQ3eSUO
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk68mqihTm
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhyKYTPQRw
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NxrEy9fWq
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsv19MFWRQ
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmUJTK9eUh
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfz8LexK64
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bYFEmU0gV
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1Nlftrty
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMTUimqcc9
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBm8sxdCru
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBcKRtMQPf
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzSUJbEApE
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2r76aDgjE
「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。」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KukLyOKlV
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnTDPOsKa3
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPgqkEBLkY
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUJY0fkUQO
「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！」304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeklk6uxXIg
