Chapter 38 I Will Not Be Your Back-up Man

"There is one thing Manager Ling may not know. I am indeed married. You arrange such a task for a married person like me. I am under great pressure." Philip Lin was smoking a cigarette in his mouth casually as if he could not comply with Vivian Ling's orders. Although Vivian disliked Philip smoking in her office, she needed help from Philip, so she endured it. However, as Philip said he was married, Vivian didn't believe it at all. In Vivian's view, Philip, who couldn't move his eyes when he saw a beautiful woman, flirted with female colleagues all day so that he couldn't be married. "So you are married, but why don't you wear a ring on your hand?" Philip was speechless. His marriage to Mu Shanshan is a mere formality. Apart from getting a marriage certificate in the Civil Affairs Bureau, they didn't do anything related to marriage. As for the wedding ring, that was bullshit. With Susan's temper, even if Philip bought a wedding ring, Susan wouldn't wear it. There was a high possibility that Susan's eyes would freeze Philip into an ice sculpture. As for Philip, he didn't want to wear it himself. He was used to dissolute abroad. If he wore a wedding ring, how could he hook up with a woman in the future? Seeing that Philip couldn't speak, Vivian firmly believed in her thoughts and whispered: "In fact, I quite understand you. Now the ratio of men and women is out of balance. You all want to find a girlfriend to marry quickly. You said you were married to let our female colleagues in the General Affairs Department lower their guard against you. Right?" What? Philip's eyes were huge, so they could almost compete with the bull' s-eye. He never thought of his temporary silence would make Vivian feel of so many things. Damn it. Nowadays, it's hard to speak the truth. Why couldn't anyone believe it? Philip was very depressed, struggling, and helpless. Vivian waved her hand, ignoring Philip's reaction. She was seemed to say to herself: "You have no car, no room, and just got a job. Which woman is willing to marry you? As long as you can let Penny Shen stand on our side, I will consider giving you a chance to chase me, okay?" After finished her words, Vivian wrapped her arms, with a look that she made a big sacrifice, and it was Philip who took advantage of her, so the man should hurriedly nod his head in agreement. Philip's eyes were almost sticking out. Oh, god. He had been thinking all along--did he need to tell Vivian that Susan was his wife? He hadn't thought it over yet. Vivian started to think alone over there. Along with the speech, she never gave Philip a chance to get in a word. When Vivian finished, Philip reacted. This woman regarded him as a single loser. Although Philip's wish had always been to be a happy loser, however, this wish was abruptly put out by Helga Mu. "Manager Ling..." Philip thought: Damn it, I was indeed married, okay? Philip had the thought to defend himself. However, Vivian was very dissatisfied with Philip's slowness. The woman looked at Philip coldly: "You are not worried that you can't handle Penny, are you?" Well, first the honey trap, and now Vivian started to use taunts. However, Philip could probably guess the seriousness of the matter from Vivian's urgent psychology. Not to mention that Susan was his wife, Philip couldn't look coldly with things about Miller Han alone. Mu's Group was Helga's painstaking efforts. Now Helga was abroad, and Philip was also half a family member. How can he tolerate Han's father and son robbing Mu's Group? Vivian required Philip like this was entirely for finding help for Susan. Philip naturally would not promise her. Just, Vivian, this woman didn't give him a chance to speak and denied the fact that he was married. Listen to the tone of a woman as if he couldn't get a wife in his life. This kind of thing was unbearable. If Susan heard it, Philip would also get in trouble. Vivian's remarks would make Philip's wife Susan feel embarrassed. "It's a piece of cake to get Penny, but I have to perform one thing first, that is after I get Penny, will you allow me to pursue you?" Philip began to trap Vivian. Vivian squinted her beautiful eyes and looked at Philip very seriously, "As long as you can handle Penny, I swear by my personality that I will give you the chance to pursue me." It could be said that two people were each up to something. Philip trapped Vivian, Vivian did the same thing to him. If Philip got Penny done, Vivian wouldn't break her word. However, Vivian had her little tricks--as long as she took Philip to twice high-end restaurants, Philip would realize the enormous gap between the two, thus automatically giving up the idea of pursuing her. "If you still don't believe it, we can draw up an agreement." Vivian saw Philip staring at her with a suspicious face, so she thought Philip doubted her sincerity and offered to agree. Philip waved his hand, but his eyes stared at Vivian's lower abdomen. "Don't bother, and I still believe in you, Manager Ling's character. What I doubt now is not Manager Ling's sincerity, but Manager Ling's body." "Lin, tell me. What's wrong with my body?!" "Do you want me to say it?" "Go ahead, if you don't make it clear today, I'll tell everyone that you have insulted me, and you won't get a place in the General Affairs Department in the future." Philip was shocked-- this woman was ruthless. It was clear that she would cut off his way of staying in the General Affairs Department. Philip got up and circled Vivian. He rubbed his hands and said with embarrassment: "I was thinking, Manager Ling, a woman like you, why would you want to date me for no reason? It won't be that you are pregnant with a child of a rich second generation. He didn't admit it, so you want to take me to the baby's father in your belly." Silence, dead silence! Philip finished his word, and Vivian was stunning there like a fool. Although she was not stupid, her brain was crushed for a moment, every function of her body was delayed to varying degrees. "What did you say?" Vivian was squeezing these words through her teeth. Her teeth clenched her pink lips, and it seemed that she was going to bite her lips to bleed. Her charming body trembled, and her beautiful eyes were going to breathe fire. After several disputes, Vivian thought she had understood the limits of Philip's shameless. However, now Vivian knew that there was no limit to Philip's shamelessness. His mouth was entirely for challenging the boundaries of others. Vivian didn't know if the dead people around Philip were angry with Philip. If not, she was likely to be the first one. Pregnancy was a word with special meaning for every woman. Vivian never thought that one day she would be shivering because of this word. How could this kind of pictures in novels and film and television dramas that being abandoned by the rich second generation because of pregnancy happen to Vivian? She was also the general affairs minister of Mu's Group, and a new generation of successful women, she was not short of money? It didn't matter that Philip accused her of being pregnant. What Vivian couldn't stand most was Philip's phrase, "You shouldn't want to make me a father to your baby", which was definitely beyond the limit of women's tolerance and endurance. Was she, Vivian, like a leftover woman that nobody wants? Philip didn't see that she had rejected Miller before. Even if she got pregnant unexpectedly one day, it was none of Philip's business. How could this man have such a vivid imagination! "You can't get angry, ever! Be careful about your body. If you have an abortion, it will be bad. No matter what, it was also a new little life." Philip seemed not to feel Vivian's abnormal reaction, a caring appearance, and his big hands were about to touch Vivian's round belly.
