The blind boss's nanny

She finally shouted out the words that were on her mind:

"I don't care whether other people live or die!"

Aunt Mei's words of advice were already etched into her heart:

In this manor, Lu Tingzhao is the only person she should be loyal to.

Lu Tingzhao almost laughed out of anger.

It was clearly a complete fallacy, yet she spoke of it with such confidence.

It made him, the one being taken care of, seem somewhat ungrateful.

"What else do you want to say? Continue."

Lu Tingzhao slowly sat down, idly stroking his white cane in his palm.

Although he was still wearing his bathrobe, the cane in his hand seemed to become a scepter, and the aura emanating from him was suffocating.

Lin Xiaoman simply knelt down at his feet, but her upturned face showed no humility, only an unyielding stubbornness:

"If President Lu and Assistant Qin fail to handle company affairs well, it's because they lack the ability."

"This is not my fault, and it shouldn't be your fault either."

She paused, then suddenly changed the subject:

"However... perhaps you do bear some responsibility. You never let go, you shoulder everything yourself..."

This will make everyone get used to dependence, and allow the crisis to brew in silence.

Lu Tingzhao was slightly taken aback.

He never expected that this seemingly carefree nanny would be able to touch upon this issue that he had been pondering repeatedly lately.

But before he could figure it out, the crisis had already broken out.

He subtly changed the subject:

"Aren't you afraid they'll dock your bonus for praising them like that?"

Lin Xiaoman was also taken aback by the question.

With her job in jeopardy, she doesn't care about offending anyone.

Of course, we need to get through this hurdle first!

"Chairman, I'm not good with words, but my heart is as clear as day. You are my only master, and I don't care what others think..."

"You don't care about your own body, but it breaks my heart to see you like this. I'm just too worried to think straight..."

"Could you please forgive me this once? I promise I won't do it again!"

Lu Tingzhao is now completely convinced that she can fool men in voice chat rooms.

This ability to distort the truth is truly masterful.

He found it amusing that she had revealed all this to him on their very first day.

Such a stupid liar, I'm afraid only he would dare to keep him by his side.

However, it must be admitted that her voice is indeed clear and pleasant.

In his world where he can only rely on hearing, having such a voice chattering around him all day long isn't necessarily a bad thing.

And there was that faint orange scent emanating from her, sweet and not cloying, always wafting over to him unexpectedly...

The next second, Lu Tingzhao abruptly cut off his thoughts.

What is he thinking about?

That stupid woman almost ruined his plans! And he's still savoring her voice and scent?

But Lin Xiaoman didn't miss the fleeting emotion that crossed the man's face.

She stealthily took two steps forward, trying to convey her "pitifulness" through her breath:

"You see, you're used to me taking care of you, aren't you? It would be so inconvenient to have someone else, wouldn't it? I learn things quickly, and I can tell jokes... well, even if you don't like them. And you really like the suspense novels I picked out, don't you...?"

Lu Tingzhao frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

Lin Xiaoman immediately seized the opportunity, unleashing her trump card, her tone becoming exceptionally serious:

"You always work late into the night and drink too much coffee, which is really bad for your health. I don't mind if you fire me, but could you promise me you'll drink less coffee in the future, and when you're working late, could you ask the kitchen to prepare some warm milk for you...?"

Her words were partly out of genuine concern, and partly a strategic retreat, presenting herself as a loyal servant who, even after being laid off, still cared deeply for her boss.

The room was quiet for a moment.

The lines on Lu Tingzhao's face seemed to soften slightly.

He had indeed grown accustomed to having this noisy, quick-witted figure around.

Her care was meticulous, and more importantly, in front of her, he didn't have to maintain the image of the invincible Lu Tingzhao all the time.

That's wrong. He wasn't invincible to begin with.

On her first day, she devoted herself entirely to taking care of herself.

No further questions were asked, and not a single unnecessary word was uttered.

This is what Lu Tingzhao is most satisfied with.

She never pressed him for details about his blindness, never offered empty words of encouragement, and never probed into his privacy.

This perfect balance of "not causing trouble" is truly rare for someone her age.

If it were someone else... everything would have to be worked out from scratch.

The new nanny might not be as attentive as her, and she might not be as unafraid of him as she is, yet know how to maintain the proper distance.

Lu Tingzhao gently stroked the tip of his white cane.

Thinking about it that way, keeping her around became the easiest and most worry-free option.

"It's so noisy."

He finally spoke again, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"This will not be repeated."

Lin Xiaoman was stunned for a second, then overjoyed and almost wanted to rush up and hug her boss, but luckily she stopped the car at the last moment.

"Thank you, Chairman! You are so kind! I'll go prepare lunch for you right away!"

The weight on her heart finally lifted, and she turned to run away.

"stop."

Lu Tingzhao's voice came from behind.

Although this was not her intention, it almost led to huge consequences, and he had to teach her a lesson.

Lin Xiaoman froze in her tracks. Was she going to have her salary docked?

The next second, the man spoke calmly:

"Go help Aunt Mei with some chores."

The Lu family owns their own farm, which is currently in harvest season, and large quantities of organic crops are delivered to it every day.

Some of these, like peanuts, mung beans, and sunflower seeds, require a second manual selection process to choose the best ones to keep.

This job is simple yet extremely tedious, and it's perfect for getting her temper under control.

"No problem! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Lin Xiaoman responded loudly, "I'll do anything as long as I don't lose money."

Lu Tingzhao listened to her light footsteps fading into the distance.

Suddenly, I wondered if I had been too kind. How could I have let this woman go so easily?

The afternoon sun was shining brightly. Lin Xiaoman sat on a rattan mat in the courtyard, with a small mountain of mung bean pods piled up in front of her.

At first, Lin Xiaoman was leisurely humming a song, skillfully peeling open the bean pods with her fingertips.

This familiar farm work made her feel as if she had returned to her childhood in Sunny Home.

Back then, the cook would always take the children to cultivate vegetable plots around the yard.

Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, peanuts, corn, green beans... their small vegetable garden holds the most laughter and joy.

Many people feel sorry for children who grow up in orphanages, but Lin Xiaoman never thinks that way.

Apart from the lack of family companionship, everything else is acceptable; at least materially, there is no shortage of anything.

The government subsidies are never delayed, donations from all sectors of society are pouring in, and the hospital director always quietly pays out of his own pocket to prepare birthday gifts for the children.
