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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23lWozSt36
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHh9wMD2Ra
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qu75U15BR
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2i1Zwjltj
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAaAX9jPhX
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq2YoZxusA
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPSJS33ZdM
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCPONHUsXV
周諾寧聞言一頓，但沒有看方玉賢，冷淡地將飯菜送進嘴裡。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYxi8aUzAF
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnJjkVjmPe
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYFI2IZ9Vz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbI5S7rkuB
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoozhENZmS
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOggms3k0qs
周子亦淡定笑著，「比起你，阿凡可容易多了。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXCZPrlIwk
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAu7IZnG6J9
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgG5E96UVW
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkPS5OzhC5
「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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbflJZKfVWg
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkHuwqPbSr
周子亦微微勾唇，並沒否認。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEMuiczNfT
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc52DX2BSV
「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？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wUcXp03LH
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjNHbycnrv
方玉賢一怔，瞬間收拾了表情，笑道，「這當然是⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eNTuMzqcO
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM9gWBxDF5
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDRuG614Xk
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamz89IamKh
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3TV6uyOhU
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4tqvjze6j
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDuq94JOnF
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpfhuO7O7C
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？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KlRdnHyMT
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQJYJ1p4uw
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvEOMrRXDS
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTYCxSW2qL
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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn7Kwltw0D
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RkPj22fdk
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2NvlM2mBQ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY61ChMdErP
看樣子，周天權心裡並沒有完全同意這場婚事。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyF2hGT9My
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG7CqEkKSV
那周子亦到底用了甚麼手段讓周天權暫時妥協？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrTbJuaKdD
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E35o2IhnZ
抑或，是周天權在利用周子亦讓她妥協？355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEN90SuGuZ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpP9LhyRCa
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW56KRzCEbs
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVzuyJqRhw
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTbnIvxb9u
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBwnk28nTG
自從她十二歲去英國留學後，她再也沒有回來過這個房間。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YySgouUTK
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BRl9Rowbn
久違回到這個許久不見的地方，一切彷彿遙遠又熟悉。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Qx9vay2B
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg03dF7VTT
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6m3qKdvcb
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE1haTpST3
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV29di3PXDr
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCczdI7VZHE
心情一下就變得極糟。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3P4oOWoJ1
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DdOHdI7ZJ
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYrADTWSSz
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCjq53ffng
方玉賢把禮物盒遞給她，期待地示意她打開。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu86L01bC9l
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ruAI38DD
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ii16qEG61
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Kt0UyEKM
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87xL9UNi40
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9trHsZmtx
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HioICrkgu
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nySytyTsr
周諾寧看著那件禮服，微微出神，有了些模糊的想像。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG8DYJf9BG
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2z2E4KTcn
站在她身邊的人⋯⋯355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60ZzQdZ7os
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdgse7K32C
「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？」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUpFP4tR81
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEiE39ZIEN
方玉賢一怔，有些措手不及，「阿寧⋯⋯這⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS7gVhGYeX
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmYKlb16CD
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9AtzCeSlh
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8GOPI0e0e
她就是一時瘋了才會問方玉賢這種問題。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J4ZeOI0Rd
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVAlXKdL15
方玉賢傷心地說，「阿寧，媽不是這個意思⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6UELOw8oe
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1syt5cg9YW
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBNPczfY9q
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xOg8n1bLn
「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⋯⋯！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmDVh5dtY
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfh2IU84NL
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwXWwYSSmu
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwRWD4vrYa
「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⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMCTEDhWqD
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg3DK9LHqm
「不。」周諾寧決絕道，「當初會變成那樣，就是你們造成的。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzppTuSW24
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw0OVRXfTi
她冷漠無情地蓋上盒子。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gVK7Po0cw
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcQQgYcCCU
「所以現在的痛苦，全是你們給的。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqu5Y9uPVg
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJgZxyy1bj
另一邊，周天權的書房。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjQGvUQEy5
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DhzhOF485
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。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b9MMRDKDa
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQr6Dr6bfy
「爸。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJupI1j7fPX
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrOYqu7VuE
周天權沒有抬頭，掀開文件夾，「交出來吧。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw5ufqTLpv
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQN1g4vc07
周子亦臉色一緊，仍維持住鎮定，「那是甚麼⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFjWLmEgab
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQB46DHTtR
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTrqdMJZ5m
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DhaTgHhzC
周子亦身子一震，眼底動搖不止。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB13MPgHW88
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIFNSQUnT3
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYHSJrVvx5
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1M2eBuklv
「既然早就知道，您為何⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylf77aNKTW
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk2QV3f4hz
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixl25rMmio
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiSWYVgflU
周子亦一默，最後垂死掙扎，「⋯⋯那份資料還沒驗證真偽。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzpLd5JqF
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZxE3hnCVf
「那就是我的事了。」周天權不吃這套。355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVIQ8G0n9l
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m9VhGd2i3
周子亦咬牙頃刻，儘管不忿也只能屈服，「我明白了。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqvkD8F0tk
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTFItL80eq
「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。」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBRWIM2NQZ
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrbioAhuG5
周子亦眉頭一皺，「所以您根本不打算⋯⋯」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6iq0vMop
355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AUyvPx6mb
「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！」355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4404TPNNz
