The blind boss's nanny

She rushed up to the sixth floor in one breath and quietly pushed open the door to the master bedroom—

In the warm, cozy light, Lu Tingzhao was still sleeping soundly.

He seemed utterly exhausted. Lu Tingzhao, who was usually so alert even in his sleep, now had relaxed brows and eyes, his breathing was long and even, revealing a rare tranquility.

Lin Xiaoman stood frozen at the doorway, unsure whether to go in or back out.

Looking at Lu Tingzhao's peaceful sleeping face, her heart pounded like a drum.

Oh no, this is absolutely a serious dereliction of duty!

She actually fell asleep while on duty and slept until dawn, leaving the boss alone in the study...

Although he is lying comfortably in bed now, who knows if he bumped or hurt himself when he found his way back to his room last night?

She quietly moved a chair to a spot not too far from the bed, and sat upright like a schoolchild awaiting trial, her eyes fixed on the person on the bed.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight moved slowly across the floor.

Lin Xiaoman's inner monologue has already gone through eighty episodes: "The Self-Cultivation of a Nanny: How I Lost My Job" and "On How to Quickly Raise Money for Traveling Abroad After Unemployment".

Just as she was beginning to wonder if it would be useful to beg Aunt Mei for mercy, the person on the bed slightly fluttered their eyelashes and let out a barely audible groan.

Lin Xiaoman sprang up instantly, holding her breath.

Lu Tingzhao woke up.

He didn't get up immediately, but habitually raised his hand to rub his temples. Then, his unfocused yet still deep eyes accurately "looked" in the direction of Lin Xiaoman.

"Chairman! You're awake!"

Lin Xiaoman took a quick step forward, her voice filled with deep remorse and trepidation.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so, so sorry! I don't know what happened, I fell asleep on the sofa last night. I didn't do my job properly, it's my fault!"

You can punish me, deduct my salary, that's fine too, just... just don't get angry, your health is the most important thing!

She poured out all her apologies in one breath, her attitude as sincere as could be.

Lu Tingzhao listened silently, his face expressionless, until she finished speaking. Then he slowly opened his mouth, his voice hoarse from just waking up, but each word was clear:

"Lin Xiaoman, go settle this month's salary. You can go now."

Although she had a premonition, Lin Xiaoman's heart still sank when she heard the words "dismissal" with her own ears.

No! She absolutely cannot lose her job!

The next second, she channeled her inner drama queen, her voice instantly becoming tearful, soft, and pitiful:

"Chairman... Mr. Lu... I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I'll never do it again! I promise I'll study diligently and study even harder when I'm on duty from now on! Please give me another chance!"

Seeing Lu Tingzhao trying to get up by supporting himself on the edge of the bed, she quickly reached out to help him, but he subtly avoided her.

The man effortlessly reached for the white cane leaning against the bed, his movements so fluid it seemed as if it were an extension of his body.

He was about to head to the bathroom with his cane when Lin Xiaoman darted forward and covered his hand holding the cane with her warm palm.

"Chairman, why are you ignoring me?"

She blinked her pitiful eyes, completely forgetting that the other person couldn't see her at all.

Lu Tingzhao's brows furrowed into a knot:

"I need to use the restroom, please move aside."

"oh oh!"

Lin Xiaoman immediately perked up, eagerly pushing open the glass door and deftly lifting the toilet seat.

Then, she actually reached out to undo his pajama belt—

"What are you doing!"

Lu Tingzhao gripped his waistband tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

Lin Xiaoman looked up, her eyes innocent yet bewildered:

"Chairman, didn't you need to pee? Let me help you!"

"Let go."

The man forced out two words through clenched teeth, his ears turning suspiciously red.

This woman had always given him plenty of space to handle such private matters on his own, but her excessive enthusiasm today was clearly intentional.

Lin Xiaoman obediently let go, but she remained rooted to the spot like a wooden stake, completely still.

Lu Tingzhao took a deep breath, his tone restrained:

"Sister Lin, please leave."

Lin Xiaoman, afraid of missing this opportunity to make amends, leaned forward and spoke sincerely:

"Chairman, shall I help you steady yourself? You can stand..."

At first, Lu Tingzhao was completely honest with her, and Lin Xiaoman, who was seeing a naked man for the first time, blushed and was at a loss for what to do.

Whether it's because she's taking advantage of the fact that the other person can't see her, or because she's getting more and more into the persona of a "40-year-old middle-aged woman," she's becoming increasingly uninhibited these days.

Indeed, when you're out in the world, you have to give yourself your own identity.

"go out."

Lu Tingzhao repeated, his voice filled with obvious anger.

Lin Xiaoman then slumped out and began making the bed.

Since Lu Tingzhao had explicitly forbidden others from going up to the sixth floor, the cleaning of this floor naturally fell under her responsibility.

Fortunately, although the entire floor was large, his activity area was limited to his bedroom and study.

With a robot vacuum cleaner taking care of the job, Lin Xiaoman's main task is to change the bedding every other day.

This gentleman has hotel-level obsessive-compulsive cleanliness requirements, which is truly astonishing.

While the man was washing up, she quickly changed all the bed sheets and duvet covers to a new set.

In the bathroom, Lu Tingzhao was fumbling for toothpaste when he unexpectedly discovered that the toothbrush already had just the right amount of toothpaste squeezed out, and the water temperature in the mouthwash cup was just right.

Everything was abnormally well-arranged.

You should know that this Sister Lin always talks about "taking back control of life" and calls it encouraging him to be self-reliant, but in reality she takes the time to be lazy.

His overly attentive manner today is clearly a sign of his guilty conscience.

As soon as Lu Tingzhao came out of the bathroom, Lin Xiaoman went up to him, her voice light and cheerful:

"Chairman, I've changed the gray bedding to dark blue! The sun is shining brightly today, so I've aired your pillows and blankets on the terrace. They're sure to smell of sunshine tonight!"

She never mentioned the dismissal, as if it had never happened:

"The kitchen has prepared the meal. Would you like to come downstairs for lunch, or should I bring it directly to the study?"

Lu Tingzhao, however, was unmoved by this, and spoke in a calm tone:

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Xiaoman chuckled twice, rubbed her hands together, and moved closer:

"Chairman, I really know I was wrong..."

Surprisingly, Lu Tingzhao actually responded this time:

"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?"

These words were like a pardon, and Lin Xiaoman immediately became extremely vigilant... In the face of power and money, she had long since packed up her face and self-respect and thrown them into the trash.

"I neglected my duties, left my post without permission, and was careless, leaving you alone in the study without considering the consequences..."

She meticulously listed her crimes on her fingers, her tone so sincere she could have attended a confessional.

"I deeply realize my mistake, and I'm willing to accept any punishment! Just please don't fire me; I truly have nowhere else to turn..."
