The blind boss's nanny

From that day on, Lin Xiaoman completely embraced the role of "vicious little nanny" and thoroughly enjoyed it.

She would make sure Lu Tingzhao had a hard time until he returned her passport and ID card!

Since he's blind now, he's at her mercy.

As usual, the kitchen prepared a sumptuous breakfast of both Chinese and Western dishes at breakfast time.

The shrimp dumplings are crystal clear, with thin skins and generous fillings, and a delicate pink color; the perfectly fried sunny-side-up eggs have crispy edges and trembling yolks; and the freshly baked crispy croissants smell wonderful.

Lin Xiaoman carried the tray to Lu Tingzhao's side, a standard professional smile on her face, her voice sweet:

"Chairman, breakfast is very plentiful today. Let me serve you the dishes."

Then, Lu Tingzhao watched as she deftly... She picked up the plumpest shrimp dumpling, stuffed it into her mouth, and mumbled with puffed-out cheeks:

"These shrimp dumplings seem a bit cold. Let me check the temperature for you... Hmm, they're not very warm. You shouldn't eat them."

Then, she forked away the perfectly shaped sunny-side-up egg and quickly devoured it.

"This egg is a little overcooked; it's not suitable for your delicate stomach."

Finally, even the largest, golden-brown croissant wasn't spared; she broke off a large half and, while munching on it, said:

"This is too big, it will be a waste if you can't finish it, let me help you with some."

After a whirlwind of activity, all that remained on Lu Tingzhao's plate was a slightly torn shrimp dumpling, a small piece of egg white, and half a croissant that she had broken into pieces.

Lin Xiaoman considerately pushed her milk cup towards him; it was only half full. Her tone was sincere.

"Chairman, please drink more to replenish your nutrition."

Lu Tingzhao: "..."

Without changing his expression, he picked up the cutlery, "groped" for the pitiful leftovers on the plate, slowly put them into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

He didn't show any unusual behavior throughout, except for a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Xiaoman stole glances at his reaction and saw that he ate without any complaints. She felt both relieved and a little inexplicably... guilty.

However, this feeling of guilt was quickly suppressed by the thought that "he brought it on himself."

This is just the beginning, Chairman. The little devil in her heart smirked smugly.

Lu Tingzhao, while eating his wife's leftovers, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, admiring her astonishingly bright eyes and the corners of her mouth that were secretly turned up but were being forced down.

Afternoon reading time.

"Chairman, let's try something different today!"

Lin Xiaoman, holding a thick book, sat down next to him with a bright smile.

Lu Tingzhao tilted his head slightly, indicating that he was listening. He glanced at it; the cover was flashy and ornate.

Then, he heard her begin to read aloud in an extremely exaggerated tone:

Chapter 1! The Overbearing Prince Falls in Love with Me After Transmigrating!

She cleared her throat and spoke with great expression.

"Oh! My prince! Your eyes are like cold stars, your thin lips like blades, your strong arms hold me captive..."

Lu Tingzhao's brow twitched.

Lin Xiaoman became increasingly engrossed in reading, even taking on multiple roles during the dialogue sections:

First, she used a high-pitched, coquettish voice: "Your Highness~ please don't do this~ I'm scared~"

Then, lowering his voice and speaking in a gruff tone, he said, "Woman, you have successfully caught my attention!"

Finally, the narration resumes, brimming with passion: "Having said that, he ripped open her clothes, revealing..."

"Ahem!"

Lu Tingzhao finally couldn't hold back any longer, clenched his fist and coughed heavily twice.

Lin Xiaoman immediately stopped and asked with concern:

"Chairman? What's wrong? Was this part not exciting enough? Then I'll change it to something even more thrilling! How about 'The Evil Demon Lord's Captive Little Runaway Wife'? It starts with dungeon play!"

Lu Tingzhao: "...No need. I don't want to hear it today."

"Oh~"

Lin Xiaoman drew out her words, then closed the book with regret.

"Shall we continue tomorrow? I've also prepared 'The Cold-Faced CEO's Substitute Wife' and 'A Battleground: Four Bosses All Love Me'! Which one would you like to listen to first? I guarantee the plot will be full of twists and turns, and utterly melodramatic!"

Lu Tingzhao: "..."

Lin Xiaoman seized the opportunity and deliberately moved closer, adding fuel to the fire:

"Chairman, do you think... you don't feel that you're even slightly similar to those brainless male protagonists in this show who are always engaging in forced sex and imprisonment play?"

She extended her little finger, making a "just a tiny bit" gesture, her eyes sparkling with provocation.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingzhao not only did not get angry, but instead chuckled very softly. He turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on her smug little face.

I don't think so.

He denied it in a flat tone, then changed the subject, lowering his voice slightly.

"but……"

He paused, as if seriously considering her suggestion.

"If you really want to experience that kind of storyline,"

He spoke slowly and deliberately, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"I don't mind... giving it a try with you."

"..."

Lin Xiaoman's smug expression froze instantly. She stared at him, her cheeks burning uncontrollably. This man… why isn't he playing by the rules! Who wants to try that kind of thing with him?!

"Try me, my foot!"

Enraged, she grabbed the book "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me" and, as if throwing away a hot potato, tossed it into the nearby trash can with a thud.

"Boring! Vulgar! Tasteless!"

She angrily berated the trash can, it was unclear whether she was telling a story or making veiled criticisms.

Lu Tingzhao felt inexplicably pleased as he listened to her stomping and the groaning of the trash can.

He adjusted his posture, refocusing on the empty space in front of him; only the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his good mood.

Lin Xiaoman, on the other hand, sulked in front of the trash can for a long time.

She would never let him near her again, much less touch her.

She didn't even sleep in the same room with him at night, and moved back to her own "luxury maid's room".

But habit is a terrible thing.

She had grown accustomed to falling asleep in Lu Tingzhao's arms, accustomed to his occasional light kisses on her hair or forehead, accustomed to the warmth and sense of security conveyed when their skin touched...

For the first few days, Lin Xiaoman felt relieved and at ease. But gradually, the hormones and dopamine that had been nurtured in her body suddenly lost their outlet, making her restless and irritable.

What's particularly infuriating is that Lu Tingzhao, the "instigator," seems completely oblivious to the "downgrade" in their relationship and continues to maintain certain habits that... send her blood pressure soaring.

For example, after getting up in the morning or taking a shower, he would still only wear a towel, his body covered in smooth water droplets and clearly defined muscle lines, the water droplets rolling down the grooves of his abdominal muscles and disappearing into the edge of the towel...

Sometimes he would casually drape a bathrobe over his shoulders, even "forgetting" to fasten the straps, leaving his beautifully sculpted chest and abs exposed as he swaggered around in front of her.
