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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlmANdtwef
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzEFzKbLXF
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EtxG2RM2B
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq8POyOaKm
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjMbLv8K5O
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOQazJ1EX9
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymNZdE2vlB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48vtS1gzCS
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIe6IB6ydb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4szwExvTBs
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlCTKAG593
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl4a63JF8k
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwWEhiS9cA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg3LZbnTJs
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc56HPbkmKG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KG1nqq0er
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneX7RvnWfK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc6lC8meq1
「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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj4dDIwJJ3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MwYFQ7jHU
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnhHcM7KjY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0270yfRKf6
「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？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSA18Dr2At
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBW5B9FMJe
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGWgX4lrw6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzKh8uyEuE
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTgVlXiDcE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgsVE1giY1
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmhnPCRu7O
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy6Gq6O4Eu
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh8IwY2YQx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZL0tuDg8L
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？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNzshac6uM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jEPbXSn4O
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkMoJ61RnD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd5C5Tj18a
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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIIY7b0nBN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VTvtROOAW
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2TmWU09kh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmF0PRuHN0
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dbN7QeUbm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOm5bo2a9q
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8djfelmvm5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRB82ckQSZ
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ021cWoj2u
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11FYn8L8eM
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVXaXNAcf3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHABCgERwp
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRDAfHJHQy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfU7V1wKm
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7PtCgDPgX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7fPUyBElW
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tBdTdnESH
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXd5dxvXGI
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooXWGsE6Pp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxBMKk99NI
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePXGSAYpgF
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTv0cqwC2z
心情一下就變得極糟。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbR3UckTdFZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA3TcH0XAj
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDMFKBSBCp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjYlNBvmmp
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfxfhkSr59
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtkHykhCLn
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijjV0INOnV
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6nTkjlGWT
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3TVUU6yMs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz64nPL2ege
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7TuEv4GhL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRbYOVfY03
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz46oeoVjh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZHlvmSngf
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B37tzsCDJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyeEqpnDOQ
「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？」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJiu54waSc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zXFcA6tvw
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXEs5q1lVg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO685uAXHN
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnRlxprRrE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ6KARm7UZ
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPQHaiJgQ7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MvyO4CxPm
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtLEc3IPvO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGMnEVJHhu
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3GFZqbnk8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU9clBQKcX
「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⋯⋯！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEKlnxa9Ct
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaECE8QuLQ
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7260zSOCK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcf0iaK7yi
「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⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRxlmiLI1j
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMQqFigXWp
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XuKGJiI5o
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DO2vm8TY6
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4buqoeomYj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkTy2orXGz
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrBkALiVlp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfCrNWpaNL
另一邊，周天權的書房。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj1ijTQ3G5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJzw2NW8Tu
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。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw7qmJjNqK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT89LNu5bR
「爸。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTyQoLAo6Q
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDLc4tQOzh
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jZQWkZwUt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlLv9LIZlL
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc9ZiVnmou
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vI2bf6asC
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0avgqe4WGj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJqqdZphzy
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKMd3ObhzQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhKCR8rdvH
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQEXaTstdH
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fh5BW37fT
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8W3mBaD4S
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEwHAjLImk
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW2BPYMOns
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TbkQJwLbu
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnm7IrN6uO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0pu9fWMU
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G3Ri9xAwE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWjQisQMJj
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCd7NVMgla
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CwprR9Zq1
「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。」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTrNIqH2Fh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIPmHaTSxw
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b1XwXVvwp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sUSQAR45s
「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！」373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNEHvjJCI
