The blind boss's nanny

Whether it's rock climbing on cliffs or surfing giant waves, he can handle it with ease.

Wenya was attracted by this dazzling beauty back then, but now she finds it glaring even to look at it again.

"Tingzhao, if you don't want to be in power..."

Wen Zhe once joked while holding a cigar,

"Even a spoiled brat can become famous far and wide."

At this moment, Lu Tingzhao's fingertips traced the gold-embossed cover of the photo album, and those glorious years frozen on the paper had long since blurred into a chaotic blur of light and shadow.

He can't even make out the outline of the photo album anymore, let alone find the figure in the photo who conquered the snow-capped peak.

It only takes one accident to fall from the peak to the abyss.

He can't even walk out of this garden alone now, let alone return to the vast world he once roamed freely.

Wen Zhe's mediation only made the atmosphere more tense.

He put away the photo album and took a deep breath:

"Tingzhao, I've always considered you my best brother."

"Me too."

It was precisely because of this friendship that Lu Tingzhao chose Wen Ya from among many potential marriage partners.

This mild-mannered, unremarkable young lady.

Having witnessed the breakdown of his parents' marriage, Lu Tingzhou had long since given up hope for love.

If he weren't the eldest son, he would never have wanted to get married.

But if it wasn't him, it would have been Tingzhou or Tingxi.

Since he has already sacrificed his entire youth, what harm is there in another marriage of convenience?

Back then, Wen Zhe, drunk, pleaded with red eyes:

"My sister is gentle by nature and has never gained anything in the family. I only hope that she can have someone to rely on in her later years."

Lu Tingzhao nodded.

He promised to protect his friend's sister for life.

Wen Zhe's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally spoke with difficulty:

"Tingzhao, the doctor said your vision... may be difficult to recover."

For a moment, the area under the wisteria trellis fell into dead silence, with only the rustling of the leaves in the wind.

"so?"

Lu Tingzhao's voice was eerily calm.

"The Wen family cannot marry their daughter to..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Zhe stopped abruptly, but the unspoken word "blind man" remained hanging in the air, a fact that everyone understood without saying a word.

Aunt Mei, who was not far away, frowned and finally realized the purpose of the Wen siblings' visit.

She quickly walked over to Lin Xiaoman, who was wearing headphones while attending an online class, and gently removed her headphones:

"Go and refill the chairman's tea."

Seeing Aunt Mei's solemn expression, Lin Xiaoman, though not understanding why, obediently did as she was told.

Lu Tingzhao chuckled softly:

"Wen Zhe, was it you or your sister who I was engaged to?"

"Of course it's Xiaoya..."

"Then let her say it herself."

Lu Tingzhao turned towards Wenya.

"Wenya, I'd like to hear your thoughts."

Lin Xiaoman approached at this moment, and she quickly replaced the tea that had already gone cold.

When she was adding water, her fingertips inadvertently touched the back of Lu Tingzhao's hand and immediately felt its unusual coldness.

She instinctively knelt down and buttoned up his suit jacket.

Lu Tingzhao made no attempt to stop her, tacitly approving of her actions.

This natural intimacy left the Wen siblings stunned.

Wenya finally came to her senses and took a deep breath:

"Mr. Lu, I believe... our current situation is indeed not suitable for marriage."

"Click."

The teapot lid in Lin Xiaoman's hand trembled slightly.

Oh no, she's not going to meet her KPI today!

Wenya took a deep breath, as if she had finally found a suitable excuse:

"I've recently been studying Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny) and consulted a master who said my birth chart is unfavorable for marriage in the next few years..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiaoman burst out laughing.

"Miss, did that master say that your lucky stars... were scared away by the cowardice in your heart?"

Wenya was momentarily speechless:

"What Red Phoenix Star and Heavenly Happiness Star...?"

"Aren't you studying Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny)?"

Lin Xiaoman blinked.

"How come you don't even know the most basic constellations?"

Wenya blushed deeply at her question and quickly changed the subject:

"You're the new maid, aren't you? Go get my brother and me a glass of water."

Just as Lin Xiaoman was about to make a move, Aunt Mei gracefully arrived with a tea tray:

"Miss Wen, your Pu'er tea has been brewed according to the traditional method."

She subtly positioned herself in front of Lin Xiaoman.

"She's the chairman's personal attendant; she's not responsible for entertaining guests."

Wen Ya's gaze swept over Lin Xiaoman like a searchlight:

Full, plump cheeks, a shapely figure, and a lively expression when she speaks.

Such a young special nurse? Who would believe it if I told them?!

I want her to pour me water!

During their conversation, Wen Ya accidentally knocked over a photo album on the table. The album slid heavily across Lu Tingzhao's trouser leg and landed heavily on his leather shoes. Wen Ya, however, acted as if she hadn't seen it and calmly said...

"Am I still the future mistress of the Lu family? How come I don't even have the authority to order around a servant?"

She turned to Aunt May:

"You've got someone like this serving Lu Tingzhao? He interrupts his master the moment he steps in..."

That's enough.

Lu Tingzhao's voice wasn't loud, but it silenced the entire garden instantly.

"Even my younger siblings wouldn't dare speak to Aunt Mei like that."

Wen Zhe could tell that his friend was angry, so he quickly tried to smooth things over:

"Tingzhao, Xiaoya is just confused because she's worried..."

"I did care, but I've been completely indifferent for so long."

Lin Xiaoman muttered to herself, her voice just loud enough for everyone to hear.

She was squatting on the ground picking up the photo album that Wenya had knocked over, gently brushing away the dust from the cover.

"His concern led him to visit for the first time in two months, only to demand the annulment of the engagement."

Wenya lost face and abruptly stood up:

"Lu Tingzhao, are you just going to let a servant talk like that?"

Did she say something wrong?

Lu Tingzhao's empty gaze fell into the void.

"You've come here today just to annul the engagement, haven't you?"

"Tingzhao, we did this for..."

Wen Zhe attempted to defend himself.

"For what reason?"

Lu Tingzhao chuckled.

"If you're here to discuss a wedding date, I'll have a prenuptial agreement prepared right now."

Wen Ya's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she hurriedly mouthed a silent plea to her brother:

"I don't want to..."

This scene happened to be witnessed by Lin Xiaoman.

Looking at Wen Ya's cowardly appearance—wanting to annul the engagement but not daring to say it directly—and then noticing Lu Tingzhao's trembling hands on his knees, a fire ignited within her.

In front of her, do you think you can bully her because her chairman can't see you?

But she's still standing here!

The master's humiliation is her humiliation!

"Miss Wen,"

Lin Xiaoman's clear voice broke the silence.

"You're a grown adult, do you really need someone to say what you want to say?"

This sentence cuts through all the hypocritical formalities.

Wen Ya was so embarrassed by the question that she kept backing away, and Wen Zhe also turned his face away awkwardly.

Lu Tingzhao remained expressionless.

"Wenya, just say what you want to say."

Forced into a corner, Wenya began to sob.

She clutched Wen Zhe's sleeve, choking back tears:

"Didn't you say you'd help me? Why aren't you saying a word now...?"

Tears ruined her delicate makeup, and she became more and more emotional as she spoke:

"Brother, I don't want to... I don't want to face someone like this every day from now on..."

Wen Ya dreaded the thought of the impending marriage. Lu Tingzhao was handsome and wealthy, but few could withstand his ruthless and domineering personality.
