The blind boss's nanny

Lin Xiaoman received no response. Only the engine's continuous low growl and the increasingly unfamiliar scenery outside the window.

Fear finally overwhelmed reason. Lin Xiaoman suddenly raised her voice, her sharp cry piercing the silence of the carriage:

"You pervert! Stop the car! I want to get out!"

"Lu Tingzhou! Did you hear me?! Let me out! Otherwise... otherwise I'll grab the steering wheel!"

"squeak--!"

A screeching sound of brakes suddenly rang out. The tires screeched against the ground, and the car jerked to a halt.

Lu Tingzhou yanked open the back door from the outside. He bent down, his face a mixture of offended and amused expression, blocking most of the way.

"What you just did,"

He asked slowly, but his gaze darkened.

"What did you say to me?"

Lin Xiaoman saw the gap and rushed out without thinking, but he was suddenly pressed back into the seat by one arm!

"I'm asking you,"

Lu Tingzhou leaned closer, his nonchalant smile completely gone, leaving only a sense of oppression.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Lin Xiaoman's arm was held down and she couldn't move.

The extreme fear transformed into the instinct to resist in that instant.

Her other hand groped haphazardly along the edge of the seat... Suddenly, her fingertips touched something cold and hard.

It fell out of that packaging bag earlier—a small but sharp-edged metal clasp!

Just as Lu Tingzhou lowered his head again, seemingly wanting to say something...

Lin Xiaoman used all her strength to grip the clasp tightly and slashed it hard at his forehead as he pressed against her!

A dull thud, like flesh being cut open, echoed through the air.

Time stood still for a second.

Lu Tingzhou froze, his movements and expression completely still. He blinked in disbelief.

A bright red line of blood quickly appeared and extended from his hairline on his forehead. Warm liquid gushed out, tracing his brow bone, flowing past the corner of his astonished eyes, and dripping rapidly down his cheek.

One drop, two drops... landed on the leather seat.

Lu Tingzhou raised his hand in a daze and touched his wet forehead.

His fingertips touched something sticky and warm. He looked down and saw his hands covered in a glaring red.

Lin Xiaoman gripped the blood-stained lock, panting heavily, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, but her eyes were fixed on him, full of resolute determination.

The blood is still flowing.

Lu Tingzhou felt a wave of pain wash over him, and almost instinctively, he raised his bloodless hand, reaching fiercely towards Lin Xiaoman's neck...

Just as they were about to touch, in a flash, his older brother's face, tormented by love, suddenly flashed into his mind with unparalleled clarity!

...If he really pinches me, my brother might skin me alive, right?

The moment the thought arose, he forcefully suppressed the raging fire of anger.

The hand, raised halfway, froze in mid-air, feeling incredibly awkward.

Lin Xiaoman was also terrified. Clutching the blood-stained lock, she looked at the man with blood streaming down his face and couldn't utter a single word.

"……Hold."

Lu Tingzhou forced out a single word through gritted teeth, enduring the throbbing pain in his temples, and forcefully threw the car keys onto her lap.

"What are you looking at! Drive! Take me to the hospital!"

Lin Xiaoman was completely terrified. Relying on muscle memory, she climbed into the driver's seat, her hands trembling so badly she almost couldn't start the car. After finally managing to turn the car around, a loud and forceful accusation immediately came from the back seat:

"Lin Xiaoman! You're amazing! You really are!"

Lu Tingzhou covered his head, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

"I've never been hit like that in my entire life! And by a woman no less! You're finished, I'm telling you... Ouch, that hurts like hell!"

"I'm such a damn fool! I skipped the party and kindly booked a romantic mountaintop suite for you two, trying to surprise my brother! What kind of filthy garbage is in your head?! Huh?!"

Lin Xiaoman: "..."

She gripped the steering wheel, staring blankly at the road ahead. Lu Tingzhou's accusations went in one ear and out the other, leaving no trace in her mind.

At the hospital, I registered, had the wound cleaned, and received stitches. The doctor frowned as he looked at the wound.

"How did you do this? The edges are quite sharp."

Lu Tingzhou glanced sideways at Lin Xiaoman, who was pretending to be a quail, and snorted through his nose:

"...I fell down myself!"

After the three stitches were finished and the gauze was applied, Lu Tingzhou, with a small piece of white gauze on his head, confidently directed Lin Xiaoman:

"Take me home."

Lin Xiaoman finally came to her senses, her face full of resistance.

Lu Tingzhou sneered and waved his phone:

"What, trying to hit and run? The ER doctor saw it all – those three stitches were for nothing! Do you believe I'll call the police right now and accuse you of intentional assault?"

Lin Xiaoman took a deep breath and resignedly picked up the car keys.

Alright, let's see this through to the end, and send the "wounded" home.

Let's get this ridiculous day to an end.

As soon as the car stopped in front of the Lu residence, Lin Xiaoman opened the car door and tried to leave, but her wrist was grabbed.

"What, you think you can just run away after hitting someone?"

Lu Tingzhou, with a white bandage covering his forehead, blocked her way with an annoyed expression.

"I'm telling you, no way!"

Lin Xiaoman bit her lower lip, suppressing the complex emotions surging within her:

"I apologize. I overreacted just now."

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"

Lu Tingzhou sneered, took out his phone, and was about to dial a number.

"This isn't over! I'm going to get my brother to judge this and show him just how crazy his woman really is..."

"Hey, what's going on here?"

A teasing, youthful voice broke in.

Lu Xingyuan, riding his skateboard, made a beautiful spin and came to a stop next to the two of them.

His gaze fell on the conspicuous gauze on Lu Tingzhou's forehead, his lips twitched twice, and he struggled to suppress a smile:

"Second brother, your new look... is quite unique!"

After listening to Lu Tingzhou's angry accusations, Lu Xingyuan gasped and almost lost his balance on his skateboard.

He quietly tugged at Lin Xiaoman's sleeve and said in a low, urgent voice:

"Sister Xiaoman, run! I'll hold him off!"

Seeing Lin Xiaoman's puzzled expression, Lu Xingyuan became even more anxious:

"You have no idea how fiercely protective my older brother can be! Last time my sister stabbed Brother Qin Xiu with a fruit knife, and blood was everywhere... Do you know what my older brother's first reaction was? He..."

Lin Xiaoman felt a chill run down her spine.

Lu Xingyuan was still rambling on:

"Whether Qin Xiu is the mole is another matter, but this kind of thing...wouldn't a normal person be a little conflicted? My older brother handled it so decisively and efficiently, it was simply..."

He racked his brains for a word, and finally managed to come up with a sentence.

"He doesn't seem like a person with feelings at all!"

Lin Xiaoman's mind was buzzing, and she could only come to one conclusion:

This family, from the oldest to the youngest, all have a gene for paranoia and madness flowing in their veins; not one of them is normal.

She couldn't imagine what Lu Tingzhao's reaction would have been if Qin Xiu had actually suffered some mishap back then.

And in his eyes, the same thing that happened to me today—that I attacked Lu Tingzhou—is probably similar to what he thought. People who hurt him never have a good ending.
