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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX8430NmsV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuqtilKRMD
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX4PMIRqka
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV90CCswsNz
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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YifoFYtGI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GsLCos50S
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYRWY8bYWc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9M7H4EhTD
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGN76dtuXW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3qLBHsim1
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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNv3DkK7hC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJfpUWWYQc
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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRrgCrlRZa
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N4QfADNdI
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQXfvWD8wI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQhpB1Oz0
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNc0ckuqyY
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1h3av8ufO
「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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81pWeShu16
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNXPBrJcTE
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3FIExFQyF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRLunZifja
「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？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMttNPgTJx
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LjHQuE8xI
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99t56owBNe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiKn5jAUFu
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Kw5IfVTU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTUFG3QQuM
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44xUP7eFPT
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYsoeeLSCJ
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5tCv6SPzd
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgigwzQVLfU
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？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hgbRPL7q6
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIpeRlQ6lF
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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhm8aDqAxQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUou1nE8iQ
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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGuCq1Ng0R
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzFwnH45nM
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdvP3HTqwL
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PTpGsAYVW
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqsjZDitUq
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqxTimIB9
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvXZnVe8il
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO2gDZejx9
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExYN6xdxLu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AjcTK1FPP
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptEvzBlgwG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNvmmQPpQM
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmh6U58kuS
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMirGTmNeKu
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMHNquFwPu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLNzQd1jZv
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD1fahgHdV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVSjMIpReq
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqDNKEShx4
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0X0t18nm
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9qyqCORlC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6kg7i9h74
心情一下就變得極糟。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSmtCL9mDZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4bOMFcuFT
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSKP4Fur64
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsXYGS3BZR
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI70B30POc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3MslZ1k8w
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObLgF8rGoR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwd9rsnO5C
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswt7DWnvUc
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftRywHHACo
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Czk59CjiX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyQii7QrXU
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo64wJRTqpq
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiO8yLUERA
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUXi6TwBwy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQls9BkRnQm
「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？」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKREaxv8Ma
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ666tPkuePe
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nd7DtQdnP
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNH7QIK0DY
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYUzJKLT5c
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5kxYaHuj5
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5odCDZKTtZ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJpSIRGKco
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvJbQrp9HR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXmcr90X2d
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0YJ8Izq9
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq6cMZdJQy
「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⋯⋯！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTEBNFTZ6L
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4vaMeVMwX
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXE4lKXO73
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQQpsy5May
「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⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt15xbEtXe1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8g2Y3nqnz
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEcwS9koFI
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe1OCeNkfn
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YrjPCBoou
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDWZKSmmpC
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfuAqlX8Hp
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAXkfPI0ct
另一邊，周天權的書房。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lh6spcLns
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwMAI0xgif
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。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjIEasKxMl
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AdMLx8wIy
「爸。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFnUcZeep1
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1qKeLgaf
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz8xvP791C
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5J5nW1hDj
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5Rwqvmsfj
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR1upGh1vU
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1QFgT6lyM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qTCeG8S2n
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DXBnFj9IX
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BL3oNQCFK
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQHdswVVyF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9CQcpSGP
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxM8MxEvlR
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgoWUIAZGj
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKnO2o93IW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5tpaTKKVt
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeVsTezHV
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFj7WremA0
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV37sqLsDs
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9HfMSKjTU
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzhTpCM2k8
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG0IfsQ43I
「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。」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8De1lfJ8a
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgjgPRI4Ag
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnZa0rtbq7
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXCR0TjmUp
「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！」335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLCwBixiAu
