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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPeRwWpOvG
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX1mGEBQud
「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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FhO93xb6w
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn54fe9R2f
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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8ApbTzZ0v
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGgLGg6t8w
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7LR4lOPQy
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uZqxPIcp1
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhiP7ROShy
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQP8DpGsG6
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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWIV9aGhZi
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ7Wn0DeHG
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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8XyNYBpju
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMvcjMLrNk
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmCp2bcyrL
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBr4k6xs96
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkITg2WG6Bi
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbqeP7yQMG
「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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb1Q6VvWVF
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9fM6ByUD7
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4vY1eTFqP
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp6TWVdpyV
「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？」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf2uRc3UQ4
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJ9XCMVkk
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXKci8o9rk
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDYBbdHly
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEfHLjB4J2
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC1kotvfxC
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03pZ7HPQk5
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKEQYPsxVQ
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeMtiqhvde
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkaWeEYU0q
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？」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW3v9YKdiH
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9WCqMtEoH
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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA1hskmYRB
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDKKe3EESc
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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtjuaSGLB3
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuXYYUaCwS
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIBoBUVrqm
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JMZJXjQXY
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViRm6VTeYZ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBi8h0edI2
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXDnoZ9RL1
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpizNF6ccZ
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fItHKU6E8
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOOsetV4tI
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfpv5K0MHq
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m8HPty6Pk
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y8qe3EoAU
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoabNNywll
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz23cqsTJX
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJvTu4WZv9
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBasrKmOMg0
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXsFkK8EVj
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX8ikImYXx
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4G7pHabPR
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyBagMlmcB
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdE6helMaw
心情一下就變得極糟。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0KEWj2fJv
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc9Q0adzR9
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37i5mQ0uYa
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD7QZEYOpn
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2Bi22ia1X
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p78TYKHEb
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv6tb0UXYM
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTxauvgLeV
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzzcFuG0T7
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazWEFRaxOL
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7wZvHyHW
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xTvuwUwb
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsswg4gvzD
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIKYeWq1sZ
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJJrB2xNH1
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbm2nzs12z
「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？」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Y0M4EU2wd
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxEUbFc28U
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaI2oEAGlA
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iVepK6jHt
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk04nMWJlAi
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kK8nNm3eE
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAwDhRnnE7
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEuXizPjuF
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYeLBqsaY5
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbF0eXnPu1A
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsImxVGUMA7
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwdzicYW65
「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⋯⋯！」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNSsOrjyU4
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNpBQWlukZ
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzjc1aFilk
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj05lhf5qPN
「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⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQUqqKqBe7
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpX2uKAQn
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ydQavrna
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAlQE7L2iy
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBeZYSwlzJ
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRlapgmtFJ
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdifMe3oKnS
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENcKXPUQW1
另一邊，周天權的書房。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf8ZcXPULx
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYy8NQhGVR
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。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgc5jWFQty
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0saYtz6iE
「爸。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rOrhFk74Y
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfTjO8aqux
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt0RIBqufl
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdpUQt9eOe
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhIZDRjFsF
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC4040TFCH
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmaJTGqXWO
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR64Xds736a
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uC7VOgzPr
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ972xUvNaha
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcrprron0o
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCP7wkUOjl
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY91P64anmh
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi1MVQstvm
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNaqUGoq9d
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQk3NFqSir
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw48TCGNVU
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wKCY9rFev
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdodESFp7sM
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jd7rKlkQJ
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIScTIJ7t0
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xgm2r11eE
「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。」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEgOTqYuwe
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXsFkrJ2Yk
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTpOSAxUhe
320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMWByHYDIn
「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！」320Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CSPDvnkyl
