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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5vlPLZF9g
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKcZsGq2Vf
「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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7DK613Uy7
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCZXZfliJa
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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUM4quVACk
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzpH51vuJR
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc6IkIkbdc
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3zc3x88bY
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Bdri1Eic
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x0x4EXku0
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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoTMUFxi1A
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD4vTIHzHb
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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC724a2rho
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dFn8xdomi
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFOlbMQZuM
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eCCw1buxX
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVit94jXet
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZulqGowYA3
「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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7o1n8b9Is
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlehv6kR26H
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1bmi3b7Wf
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozbcTcFvZm
「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？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrvTYw2GiP
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAtdV85KkI
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtYdqDR78X
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhFhYjgsQ4
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo5EfpOEgf
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE6WpFkAVN
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsJ3XNHPY
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKtIGc1gyG
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cY4637uqR
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaMLPyTiKF
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？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD29uUTAL1
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9VgmdVp2Y
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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeG3QIlOIn
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC1mWEhBAR
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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GxPrG1Y3z
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVanG9phg9
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwUeBQpPpr
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDj2oLKyUL
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IagGnQ5e6
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnBWIx81o6
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0cNvINvX2
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPmDTxNLZx
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ze6VLW13
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCucxFzFryY
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtUU8qL6L0
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6adOCCk3Nc
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X86wIjFrH
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4akkdi0d
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI8SsyFagd
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjbg7U6AT
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmEU2BPdby
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm17UXtCkGO
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUBLUFjfbr
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32tmB4UTsu
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO0XHOalA4
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oaBZYyvew
心情一下就變得極糟。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OeqIoZPSE
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALK5zD9wxa
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQICfNs4Pds
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYq7p6mlvO
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLVPL6A3BR
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZdFKhIG9L
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBZgAwLEvW
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7Ey5UBWNh
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgTH36rLYX
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDjkznqVqt
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxx6dvCJzQ
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr2u70BiG8
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqb6mWw6zA
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJnTZhpWJB
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAREt7S9wD
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmylUs3By1x
「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？」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe2gmCvrDg
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs24n9kAeE
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu8GKGNNzX
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKLV14YTLL
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VGUIxKfce
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk99tPUSGOi
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AItc39OiA
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr9KePs33T
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk2RbmYaBr
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS0be18GYq
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLbehaERe2
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70i6ISlQ0F
「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⋯⋯！」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpDPi5NNMF
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFLPRHpNnh
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfbQTgT9E7
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nsaiC5PcL
「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⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqp1Uit3Jt
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnymxV1bk5M
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPpx88UynC
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXpkO81ax0
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5FOfxd9mb
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQl6IzwmNu
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojFyWJmWqg
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0pbi0AjBO
另一邊，周天權的書房。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCybEwX3iDx
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRRjr3mw3
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。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4NvUWLxqh
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYcCPKDbXI
「爸。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5heLepUnq
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iVf9alGFL
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL1cpJqu3G
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2VsvQChc5
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtsSUYHXBQ
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u3HvKjXwr
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaont6SXAXy
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e46Tl4BiN
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN10JTs5juI
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdRG2FIB4H
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItb1EG9E6e
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0LZGB76ul
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFwUfXCEfu
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXST2QQwMQ
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEP2dr4Qq5
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3ABdHHo9s
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcUHc9m1zM
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6yLVfXIuo
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyVdAkSw66
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX6bVlEkuY
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbxkCjZzoS
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJwQXghRfv
「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。」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsmMDCwyWM
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y25Zju3TD
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8oBefTMR9
332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFQ0rWUs2L
「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！」332Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuCGAqutgo
