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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbwNFpmBoF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6ExAuQYTO
「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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4DFVQim5G
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkGpWfWrkJ
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVM9ehOJw0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcgGWMXYWU
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ia3Ohe83d
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDys98MGWY
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKTvQT3nXC
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzUktbwO2m
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xJyf6D8E7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWPWEK3lHX
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOFdtHrNyO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGKjcTlXcP
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0TDy8A2Q9
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ576vKJWQ76
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCp1auS5FVJ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTwB2HdgMe
「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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkbWuBrSOi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWYAzg2srw
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMCk3dsFca
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DDP5dgcPZ
「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？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSpyeGXgG
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMdVccqSKz
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0vGlqRofi
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkph40YyE7X
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7SBesksDp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9kCpBsaVG
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq08EDk0Gp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSekJMq46Q
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIvm7KNoXH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyxr309T0p
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？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cYgnPqfxp
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlTl2iTzW9
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0xZEcFtIZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z7vML2T18
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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2erWZh229O
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNCoxbsIVb
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEkKfHDADZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nO8lZZBYT
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGX83sv2jk
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jq3sYGbTA
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdpZ2aMGqg
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwHKqKg3j
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGUvWqtHHJ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvkdJ2KtJ3
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGNI4WdwQX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89BZ7elL1d
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNTIECb05A
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5PzGkgAFI
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcpSD9nnOH
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3gNyeaqQP
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GJnkWKZcD
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sB27JmLlU
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7CFaiMd4f
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJYw2UZPz0
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneRd57GDYe
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BL3YL03tg
心情一下就變得極糟。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtKMpkVQhc
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXebmeIZZ7
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqv9S1papAm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFLA17AVbA
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZHUjoPQGB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jfbp6FJ0g
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLadEm8lNB
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGP2YhFbwT
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuIlZiqDUz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLGl0Bai8B
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxPYy4PNWm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8T7GB4u4k
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJluz0RtTK
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueaAK0g9Td
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLY4ufLMjw
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5BSrGLcKA
「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？」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQjtpRFKqz
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYoS6MGdwn
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPQvDWlTLR
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYfE2U5JHD
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXYOLSW5kZ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmbVZRLEwd
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARcOjQkENN
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hPzsaiK1Z
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYWOgHbSkj
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNZxoJC412
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfToqA0RFRh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k4x2lLR2M
「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⋯⋯！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT42Z4mfVFX
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hglUB3P85
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPQDJqCSEh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3djfuOEeKE
「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⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGEZRkwLhm
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JxzLP7vfw
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AF9vwPvP0
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyQeg2qpvt
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqz8fd1uF7
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP4w0PE8va
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMM5U38Fpe
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dQlXvU28E
另一邊，周天權的書房。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGjiHwPVmS
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTptUqGf2tW
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。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqoZDbAdGG
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwHIya0tAL
「爸。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNa8jk9Zpj
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepujqRpJfB
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAdJ8hxxPV
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegdSY1rHIk
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpfZs3LvUn
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMhKpfStbQ
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMxEnqdL9P
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWR2ky5GGx
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLp6S2Y8GQ
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbURbH2cTs
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr76VltWiNx
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqbaW3lB8p
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv49imIwC82
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rnXhG1lM5
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZheKwmCIFf
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RJHJ6NUV6
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9p7DJdjDO
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOw0KKJTCq
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlGVJclVUb
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhMYwHWbRC
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWq1AVKeF
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8lN09nN4a
「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。」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLAOJ4t21m
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7gBgu2Bdl
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBka3uv3xZh
286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JUhTcbrdd
「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！」286Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtHdGHbrM9
