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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRelYly87
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIBSnsgPVF
「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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlv2pUSCY5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl313jjuR5h
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhnKxXi8s5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2df7FuQHBO
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCIBZvdmHn
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1xncDpCoE
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn17zeSY4w0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGICTzU0TM
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC80AYnalKD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR1Slxgfdr
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EHU1A3n09
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDKbq9YR6W
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ8WhNPtaz
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpJ5nBhTHm
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrGwuNE7Js
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSWa3WuwVF
「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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs43OolwvGZ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWoPOKgsKB
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJyBJOyr5X
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1HOTL5cxC
「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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwobCwhRLE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZRijyZnXI
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bc7Hit8uh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI23TINTGeR
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsTDUrmtR2
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7hlVb7XBm
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW0YyK1vnG
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJWgPuFzaw
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rB1OW6m27
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWOqVe9JZ
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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8TTt7dKaQ
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tv0VyXObx
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FB9nokd0H
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY6k4xbdQZ
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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6tV3QOXpb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17SVMPRuUa
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhExpJp3IJP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGnrh2jpP4
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBZwGQ15cb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQnaV7eE2
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9ZroPXjuM
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOgLcqHUJV
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j9kHKFgQr
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDATRPnbxGJ
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU6oQAK3Ni
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5slxF5F6rT
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtB5sKSOKZ3
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ72GpiwhQ4
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR97tYsj46
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIdj80iG5Q
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQDEH9UekA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLWUdQ5t1K
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwnqPMvKMi
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3fOn2ckHC
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhX332oxuW
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ajAS93fX
心情一下就變得極糟。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefqWwHi73J
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTyTYn6RFq
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUeBNJHKTT
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU0FLDt0LZ
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJC0MqTikD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4zc70B07S
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8tfUScLpO
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Qw5QmxsP
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvExJ9oXc1
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1jMLtlEPY
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLD66uKi8c
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kV0f6FER1
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4ySD5sBz5
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUEtAYrmU
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LB23FIlwp
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMRMKNrJ8T
「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？」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1BTEzixRu
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU3VynY67j
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsiupJhzEP
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEhHpxFWRZ
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhJficpG5W
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIvu37W8i9
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAahN2dxK5a
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaIeXClxpf
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79qSt5oOjA
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BcFQrFgbH
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd0QdvGa3o
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCclFS5i5Dp
「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⋯⋯！」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46f80G25Ju
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKsBkx5Y7j
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEmP4JMel0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPeuvTGgcX
「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⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWW8drDiha
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEWd3FqJSr
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHoywlsGci
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GugdRWD1H
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhMsiAZZuD
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEoWI8LRKW
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNpw8Zw2Jb
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2rcvGRf6N
另一邊，周天權的書房。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglXBg2drtX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzWYWnKQ8a
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。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtHg1hkj4U
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlrz9H7PFR
「爸。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qzI2Uw9wc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19V1MadLC
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYYDT0H9GK
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H83WBLjrN
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwK0NQQEXh
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLTHgbXoHW
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApnM8e9VWU
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD2IGqjUjY
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykr8A0PfEF
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k72jvcRzh
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BERy2D7j7
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8nJyr3lnG
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrPVXLdJbE
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpI6Iv98o6
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2042SttQTc
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y8edsQuHK
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOT4sk3OxO
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrImiX2ZSf
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3Ay6sgiC
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SAmXD9dBu
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzTx7JgCcX
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMysN9BnmlB
「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。」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQM0V5IdU0
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwQltNi4tH
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyUVj9tOoL
309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t5o1f7Sza
「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！」309Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipPEltrVoN
