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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kdLrGCCC
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAyPsLHBdZ
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYjBX6FOXM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMvur4NORJ
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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnqnxwE3y3
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBJDbR6Jlw
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMmJQu7Mk9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugXDVJbHjd
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSt6jVosZ6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34tmfmIthz
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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFOruqZiS3
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ks51Rztzz
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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtob9VdLAG
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5skJVNlAQr
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RCdJQTp7P
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIRU3uRHNF
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiWaQBmd0r
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cpV49hd9l
「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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin3bHpFtUB
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpORNyPmKdf
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvly0BiIGS
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDXld3OAdR
「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？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FEVjKDOI0
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL1RrRV7zZ
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MJXO6TbeL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXuCuGGZ6M
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRu8nc1MGq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE1NN110HP
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gSVnbY8pX
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w5wBFpw3C
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoygIM20sY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH5eOtOgye
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？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQKdmQXGwJ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3fTQ1lC4
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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0VqFHCV79
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSzMmSrBHH
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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTxqRPcSn
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh97kFul1U
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom2j3k8VvP
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MLF5skQPn
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi7u7XjnRK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1KHN21D9j
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvKq2gzBxY
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53IaYEKQef
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqGODCHxSZ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuTPGWzW6C
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpVT9yVrJg
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCB1tR8Y9x
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3KFMYodaR
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr033z932K8
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRx395Rvwt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJea22ozMxC
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpm9dN6aZD
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIaX2fI8cZ
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP4FOEsHTK
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuury4Tm71
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1qRciwuVw
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QTe603Jwh
心情一下就變得極糟。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0sT1CWapk
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyNjAi6Lmc
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CNxtxgj3y
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzuuP5n78i
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh39w9xeCt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CLrlrwlkj
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4b0DVfgtL
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWkUcneQdH
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW8yIqzZqM
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGp8Tfxz09
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMPd5fHIvq
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg0jLg1D9c
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS08Jck5kUX
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QjT1O8hzD
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmieh35mrKN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14WlPqHL07
「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？」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgZAXH5kb5
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq0QVqARrq
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCxaa57VnR
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTLbPEtP7W
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAoPVUYNcv
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8TO6PjSuq
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P4leYhVro
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dQuToUjJD
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICXOjq82j4
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptnND8PhiC
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HctT3Ajse
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA0FiRemPf
「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⋯⋯！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNMhmMDowE
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYQ79s3u3
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6spVbokTb9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jNzYtYPtU
「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⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1903CFsILi
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oqsKItbDc
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOQGal8l33
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY0bZa1rPl
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl595K4HMim
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixW7Phdm7h
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXy2EDelPu
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRNxIktnNF
另一邊，周天權的書房。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjd4NR0XZ6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBAedrdmqj
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。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4oozRiL3y
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHIjzYwp7m
「爸。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW2ytqBPWt
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcj6sC7WLH
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx5mxV9haN
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB2Bwdntay
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDI2WTE5o9
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91jfKsdhdv
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYuV6eKxbW
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8hr20KjXj
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxfwXZLg0S
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSM38dHbk9
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtqvA0Kr8T
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9sSksFtDm
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb1tu2xaDx
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84Xc0PaFpq
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwf6vYoOQV
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdiCRuId6W
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKldcb114uJ
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6We0ItItz
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZopBA8M2
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIH28LtDM4N
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mibV8zhd6
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMArb2EyAu6
「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。」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w5yfLz7tH
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jFdXVeuR8
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmNF7NVrFb
371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lx70drDEn
「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！」371Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bDqLxsmMC
