Chapter 27 Breaking

After Fang Zhiqi stepped into the elevator, he quickly pressed the closing key.

Seeing that the elevator was about to close, Shangguan Nan quickly got in, but unexpectedly, he was so tall that he was stuck in the crack in the door. Shangguan Nan frowned, endured the discomfort, and looked at Fang Zhiqi in the elevator pitifully.

Looking at the look of help, Fang Zhiqi suddenly forgot about her fear just now. Her heart softened and she reached out to press the door key.

Shangguan Nan's thick eyebrows quickly stretched out, and he felt happy. His long legs stepped in, without feeling that he was so embarrassed just now. He smiled with his legs and said, "Thank you!"

After saying that, with a long hand pressed the door to close, the elevator door gradually closed under the gaze of the two, blocking everything outside. Only in the narrow space could the two people breath differently than usual.

Shangguan Nan seemed to smell the unique camellia fragrance of Fang Zhiqi in the air, which made people feel distracted.

However, Fang Zhiqi saw Shangguan Nan in a suit and tie and immediately regretted her soft heart. She felt that wherever he was there, it seemed that the air around her had become thinner. She stared at Shangguan Nan alertly, her beautiful eyes were full of alert, "What are you doing when you come in?"

Shangguan Nan suddenly felt a sense of frustration. Even though his identity and appearance made countless women fascinated, he was not proud of himself in front of Fang Zhiqi. Instead, he felt a sense of inferiority that he had never felt before.

Shangguan Nan stared at Fang Zhiqi with sad eyes. After a long time, he called out in a low voice, "Fang Zhiqi!"

After saying that, there was a hint of nervousness and fear in his dark eyes. He was afraid that Fang Zhiqi would draw a clear line with him, and that he would never see her again today. Similarly, standing in front of her, he was so nervous that he had a lot to say to her, but he just couldn't say it. He was so clever that he was so stupid that he was nothing more than his.

"I'm sorry!" All the words were said, but these three words were all said.

God knows that this is the first time he apologized to someone in his life.

After saying that, he looked at Fang Zhiqi with a pleading and uneasy look on his face, as if a child who did something wrong begged for his parents for forgiveness.

It seemed that it was his sudden apology, and it seemed that it was the prayer on his face. Fang Zhiqi's panicked heart gradually calmed down and his face gradually returned to normal.

What's wrong with this guy? Is it really a conscience discovery?

"Ding!" The elevator door opened, and the three of them were stunned.

"Nan, are you?" Gu Panpan outside the door first came to his senses, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked in confusion.

Fang Zhiqi's eyes dodged around, as if she was caught in the bed.

"Go to discuss a business." Shangguan Nan lied casually.

Gu Panpan looked at the two people in front of him suspiciously and wondered: Fang Zhiqi is a Haina employee? When did this happen?

"Fang Zhiqi, are you working in Haina now?" Gu Panpan looked directly at Fang Zhiqi, and his sixth sense told her that the two people in front of her must have a secret.

Fang Zhiqi walked out of the elevator in panic. After hearing Gu Panpan's words, she couldn't help but glance at Shangguan Nan. Seeing him looking hypocritical, Fang Zhiqi felt a little indescribable, but after thinking about it, she nodded and said nodded.

Gu Panpan's hand hanging beside him suddenly clenched into his fists, and he didn't feel any pain even when he pinched his nails into his flesh. If they hadn't met him today, wouldn't they tell themselves that they still have contact?

"Panpan, is there anything you need to do when you come to the company?" Shangguan Nan, who is good at observing words and looks, quickly changed the subject and asked.

Even though he was so angry that he wanted to tear his face and question them, Gu Panpan still endured it vigorously, not only that, but also looked like he was very righteous, "Since you have something to do, then forget it, I can go alone."

After saying that, she felt a little expectation and nervous, and she was afraid to hear words like "Okay, go! Be careful on the way!" In fact, she was also betting whether Shangguan Nan really hated her for causing her to go to Nanmen Temple alone with a serious heart disease.

“Where to go?”

As soon as Shangguan Nan finished speaking, Gu Panpan immediately replied: "Grandpa asked me to go to Nanmen Temple to burn incense, saying that he was praying for the Shangguan family. Go and do your business. I can do it, but the journey is long, and I don't know if I can come back at night."

After saying that, a pair of beautiful bright eyes flashed, like a very scheming girl who was scheming and very well-behaved and sensible.

Which man is willing to give up such a girl who thinks about others? Even if he doesn't love her, he doesn't want a girl who loves her deeply to take risks regardless of her own body for the sake of her family's safety. What's more, his words just now were all lies, and today he has no business to discuss.

But when I thought of the Nanmen Temple, a tremor flashed through Shangguan Nan's mind, "I'll go with you. Nanmen Temple is more than 400 kilometers away from home! If you go alone, I'm not relieved. I'm just talking about business, so I'll arrange for Manager Yuan to go."

Thinking of the nominal grandfather, Shangguan Nan couldn't say anything, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly: It's really nothing to do. I did too many unethical things during my lifetime. Is it useful to burn incense now? It's just to comfort my own heart. If the Buddha can bless everything, then what else should the insurance company do?

Before he finished speaking, Gu Panpan felt a sense of excitement, but he still frowned slightly on the surface and said hesitantly: "Then your job? Will this affect you?"

"No, let's go!" Facing Gu Panpan's understanding face, Shangguan Nan's heart couldn't help but softly say.

After saying that, he turned his face and pretended to be serious and explained to Fang Zhiqi beside him, "Let me tell Manager Yuan later, you can go back to the office first."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zhiqi sneered, "I really talk to people and talk to ghosts." She doesn't know who Manager Yuan is, but she doesn't even stick to herself. He does whatever he likes. Isn't this just as she wants?"

Thinking of being able to easily play Shangguan Nan, Fang Zhiqi couldn't help but applaud her in her heart, thinking: Gu Panpan came too timely today, she was worried about how to get rid of the domineering Shangguan Nan! She glanced at Shangguan Nan coldly, nodded slightly, and said in a close manner: "President, don't worry about accompanying your wife, I will do this business with Manager Yuan."

In order for Gu Panpan to avoid being hurt and to leave this as soon as possible, Fang Zhiqi had to cooperate with him in acting.

The play was perfect, and even the clever Gu Panpan did not find any abnormalities. Instead, he held Shangguan Nan's arm with joy and said happily: "Nan, thank you!"

Looking at the couple in front of her, one had a happy and sweet smile on her face, and the other looked at the person in front of her, Fang Zhiqi felt a little complicated. On the one hand, she saw that the happiness of her former friend seemed to be all illusions. She really wanted to tell Gu Panpan that Shangguan Nan's words were all lies, but she didn't want to destroy the smile on Gu Panpan's face. Another thing was that she was not sure, maybe Shangguan Nan really loved Gu Panpan, but how could a man hold on to a woman who could not satisfy her!

"What do you thank me for? This is what you deserve. Let's go!" Shangguan Nan patted Gu Panpan's back of his hand and said with a smile on his lips.

After saying that, he glanced at Fang Zhiqi and left with Gu Panpan.

Looking at the back that was leaving, Fang Zhiqi smiled self-deprecatingly. A few days ago, she saw Shangguan Nan being jealous of her. She thought Shangguan Nan was in love with her, which made her panic for a few days. The only person she was afraid of hurt was Gu Panpan. But today she understood that in Shangguan Nan's heart, she was just a doll and a tool for a man to vent.

With this understanding, Fang Zhiqi made a decision to stay away from Shangguan Nan, and it would be best not to appear within his sight. Although Gu Panpan could not satisfy him due to physical reasons, Fang Zhiqi felt that love was selfish and that every woman would not share her man with other women.

...

Nanmen Temple is located at the junction of S City and T City. To be precise, it is the junction of two mountains. From a distance, you can see the two peaks standing side by side, towering into the clouds and nights. It is like a huge camel moving slowly between the sky and the earth. The mountain has been green cypresses and ancient pines, and the sky is lush and covered the sky and the sun. The deep ravine is high, and the dangerous rocks are hanging on the walls. The mountain is very dangerous. It is said that in ancient times there was a famous bandit nest that hid dragons and tigers here, but I don’t know when it started to change the bandit nest to Buddhists’ holy place for Buddhists.

I heard that the Bodhisattvas in Nanmen Temple are very spiritual, so the worshipers travel thousands of miles and come to see them. Looking around, Nanmen Temple is like a heavenly palace. The rows of buildings come into view. After climbing the 2,999-story stone steps, you can see the smoke lingering here, and the endless stream of worshipers arrive here. They folded their hands, raised their chests, foreheads, and heads, and then pounced on the ground.

Shangguan Nan never believed in religion, and the only thing he believed in was science and himself. In addition to accompanying Gu Panpan this time, another main reason was that he wanted to find the abbot and inquire about his parents back then.

When his parents died, he was just a nine-year-old child. In his memory, his parents loved each other very much, but his grandfather, Shangguan Zhengde, did not like his mother. He criticized and scolded her from time to time, and even used her mother as a punching bag in a bad mood. Because of this, his father often made a big fuss with his grandfather, but somehow they died bizarrely in a car accident. Since his parents' death, Shangguan Zhengde has come to Nanmen Temple to burn incense every year. Not only that, he also donated a lot of financial resources to the temple.

As for material resources, it was said to be to bless the Shangguan family, but Shangguan Nan felt that if he really said that the iron cock, Shangguan Zhengde, was a Buddhist, it would be better to say that he had a purpose. When he was a child, he came to Nanmen Temple several times. What made him strange was that after Shangguan Zhengde finished ceremonies, he had a secret conversation with the abbot alone in the Zen room for several hours. What were they talking about? Shangguan Nan vaguely felt that there must be an ulterior motive between Shangguan Zhengde and the abbot, and it might be related to something that happened to his parents.

After celebrating the incense, Shangguan Nan pointed to the chanting room beside him and said to Gu Panpan: "Panpan, wait for me in the chanting room first. I will go to find the abbot to have something to do!"

Gu Panpan was full of doubts, but still said nothing, and nodded obediently.
