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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS1exjRJrv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFGS5ZfJ0b
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16YrYDDMB4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgsK46G3CT
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ObB1JAvv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovim0Q8f81
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ygQvIp8K
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTSGQssto
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzIconUaNf
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7kSsdh1rh
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6njvSVvYo
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbJ8IBw9Tr
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3bbkBDriA
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA9bpuXyIj
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR52Q8PyB2A
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP9acJXGiy
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD7wvmwFCm
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLh5e81L4t
「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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99MW9zT8yy
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswxvulZlNb
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6zFXEY6aq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21n36P8cA
「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？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFywlIQiWM
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstG48LnBRZ
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yh0Flx1Uv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUprnfUK3YE
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59VeegUeE7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7twyA68oh
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv51LW6igbR
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzv0CRkzKk
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg8dVNV7tJ
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVg6cQYf5M
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？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAL43fiQOl
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmWK65xlhN
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMCr1iyQTr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW16DOr5g6T
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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9767ClXbau
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3rw6hE30r
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47okvYekvo
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3Pxwzs0s
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QB10uiFNm
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDzFin2NAa
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOI6EEux7
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hlgTJ5O3f
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FPPHEA74m
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BILROnKGv
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQjFZu1Ri9
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KkwKwQVkH
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2ftai78Xx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS852CgiwW
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nIUSfQPiH
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuth8tOkyWN
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kb6yChfBq
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5KCD1lT26
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHtc6nZe6d
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnutDrvUDbg
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrnTcqBQeL
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4duALtsXA3
心情一下就變得極糟。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIfSKWoet3
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosAO3UDo6n
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05XCzK3eZh
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGYENYKbXt
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZfSUvsbC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz53oHLopte
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Z5BA0bgu
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaabEzbo4Q
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN7Pz4ALl0
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1pUH9CPdr
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmWQ9JEoQM
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0MUavfOH0
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfq9XNbrkv
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsryguJstr
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGpljZAADk
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFwJdUedKo
「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？」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNesjfVrWjb
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpChbFaFVpa
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPylZe1stRB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o6N2qu5bp
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSaqXmUutY
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlSMwJUrAg
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w8zdlh2ca
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYtEzLtDms
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvR5N8Qrhx
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRI1UK7mpp
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QJF4gsA9p
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkC5jbcH0Z
「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⋯⋯！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVASdDtAuXe
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dq5pnaJgM
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYlRSpySnP
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYBn5epHuT
「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⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc03UCzkPx4
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDDApZKSlv
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1aOz8LwPC
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqNzDJNWz1
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLatKvOVYz
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUqc1Umalh
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6VfUSsD4T
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76yPiWALV2
另一邊，周天權的書房。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BfhS8DvEN
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTObkLgqvr
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。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrGY6BKxQV
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KFOca9Vm5
「爸。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSYT4WAa8e
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18WGishwQI
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHJ6Og5BZi
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71lmdWKeHy
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYSB0FdFO3
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDscnEEA3US
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUYHXpW6oY
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4bfkGZl3T
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BwDzaIdIl
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTutMo2kZBU
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tMUwgfo0Z
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3CFENRYC8
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hmyktwjua
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjsnxnxuCP
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKxYDlAzzD
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l2mWBjexX
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNtZQnLfan
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHBA7ImUt
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ywdhDD8K
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhyAFUkZQR
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8IIhp4ifB
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eAGglFtxs
「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。」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO40NbkmWH
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VNT86snsu
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6KVtU4Yr
317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzcthiZNzd
「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！」317Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jXmpfJhwb
