The blind boss's nanny

Her greatest wish was to stay in Sunshine House forever.

But the dean insisted on "kicking" her out to go to university, and even sent her living expenses every month on time.

She specifically chose social work as her major, hoping to go back and make Sunshine Home even better after graduation.

Unfortunately, before she could graduate, the dean passed away due to illness, and Sunshine Home had no choice but to close down.

The dean's son, Lin Langqing, supported her through her final year of university. The two young people made a promise to rebuild that warm and welcoming place together...

Recalling this, Lin Xiaoman felt a lump in her throat, and her hands unconsciously slowed down.

"I knew you young people couldn't handle this kind of work..."

Aunt Mei asked,

"Would you like to take a break?"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head, blinked hard to force back the rising moisture, and her fingertips became even busier.

After peeling for half an hour, my fingers started to ache.

Seeing the large basket of soybeans and sunflower trays beside her, and Lu Tingzhao who had been staying in the study all day without coming out, her little thoughts started to stir.

"Chairman—"

She drew out her call as she called towards the study window.

"The sun is shining so brightly today, do you want to come out and soak up some sun? Aunt Mei says you need to take more calcium supplements!"

Lu Tingzhao was listening to the financial report audio when he heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly.

What is this woman up to now?

When Lin Xiaoman forcibly helped him to sit down on the rattan chair in the courtyard, a winnowing basket was suddenly stuffed into his hand.

"Feel these! These are all freshly harvested mung beans from this morning, they're incredibly fresh!"

She took his hand and placed it on the bean pod.

"Just a gentle squeeze—pop, the bean comes out. Want to try it?"

Lu Tingzhao raised an eyebrow:

"Lin Xiaoman, do you want me to do chores for you again?"

"How could that be!"

Her voice sounded exceptionally sincere.

"This is rehabilitation training! Didn't the doctor say we should do more fine motor skills? Look, it helps us move our fingers, get some sunshine to supplement calcium, and even feel the joy of harvest..."

Aunt Mei, who was sorting soybeans nearby, couldn't help but turn her face away when she heard this.

By this time, Lu Tingzhao had already cracked open several bean pods.

Lin Xiaoman immediately clapped exaggeratedly:

"Chairman, you're amazing! These beans are perfectly intact! I broke several of them while shelling them!"

Lu Tingzhao finally couldn't help but chuckle:

"Could your flattery be any more blatant?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

She confidently pushed another bundle of bean pods toward him.

"Look how beautiful the sunshine is! Even the birds flew over as soon as you came out!"

Indeed, the usually quiet courtyard was unusually lively today.

The manor has a good ecological environment, and apart from snakes, insects, rats and ants, Lu Tingzhao has never ordered the expulsion of any other small animals.

Right now, several different kinds of small birds are pecking at the scattered beans not far away.

As Lu Tingzhao fumbled to thresh the sunflower seeds, Lin Xiaoman quickly stuffed a bamboo sieve into his hands:

"Chairman, if you just gently spin it around like this, the seed will fall down by itself! Would you like to try?"

She told him to try it himself, but her hand remained hovering over the edge of the sieve, as if afraid he would spill it.

"How did you know to peel along the grain? I've been trying for ages and still can't figure it out! Sure enough, smart people are good at everything!"

The warm sunlight streamed into the courtyard. Aunt Mei watched as the usually decisive and efficient head of the household was actually sitting among a pile of crops, being persuaded by the maid to do farm work diligently. She finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Xingqi and A Zhe returned at this time.

The two took a private plane from Iceland to China, and then transferred to a helicopter arranged by Lu Tingzhao, heading straight here.

Lin Xiaoman looked up and saw a boy and girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old walking towards the courtyard, followed by a gentle golden retriever.

It's like a scene from a comic book, especially Lu Xingqi in her Lolita dress, who looks like a little princess from a comic book.

"Miss Xingqi! Mr. Azhe!"

Aunt Mei greeted them with delight.

"You're back!"

Lu Xingqi pulled A Zhe straight toward Lu Tingzhao, but suddenly stopped a few steps away.

They saw the usually stern-faced elder brother sitting in the sunlight, skillfully peeling bean pods.

Even Ah Zhe, who usually doesn't show much expression, was taken aback.

"Big brother!"

"Chairman."

The two squatted down in front of Lu Tingzhao.

The man's unfocused gaze turned precisely to them, a gentle smile playing on his lips:

"Xingqi, Azhe."

Lu Xingqi couldn't hold back any longer and buried her face in his lap, sobbing.

"Big brother, you really can't see anymore..."

She learned of her brother's accident on the second day after arriving in Iceland.

At that time, A Zhe's treatment had just begun, and she was unable to return in time.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoman gently patted the girl's shoulder:

"Miss Xingqi, the chairman is doing well."

She knew that what Lu Tingzhao needed last was sympathy.

Lu Xingqi raised her tearful eyes and curiously looked at Lin Xiaoman:

"You're the nanny that your eldest sister and second brother were talking about?"

"it's me."

Lin Xiaoman smiled and her eyes crinkled.

Lu Xingqi wiped away her tears, stuffed the golden retriever's leash into Lin Xiaoman's hand, pulled her aside, and whispered:

"Sister, I heard that my eldest brother is willing to use a white cane under your care... This guide dog has been trained for a long time, please make sure he accepts it."

Lin Xiaoman looked down at the golden retriever at her feet.

This docile big dog lay quietly at A Zhe's feet from the moment he entered the door, without barking or making a fuss.

It was so quiet that one almost forgot it existed, and its future owner knew nothing about it at the moment.

Lin Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her voice to say to Lu Xingqi:

"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee... he'll accept it."

She remembered Aunt May saying that no pets were kept on this estate.

Lu Tingzhao disliked keeping any living creatures in captivity; even the swans in the lake were free-range.

More importantly, he never allowed himself to be held back by anything.

Having a pet means having to walk it every day, which is an unimaginable constraint for him.

She gently took the man's hand and said softly:

"Chairman, feel it..."

Lu Tingzhao frowned slightly, thinking it was some kind of crop.

"There's a limit to how much you can push your luck."

Why does this woman always push her work onto him?

The next second, his palm touched something warm and furry, and it was moving.

He subconsciously stroked it back and forth, and the golden retriever obediently rubbed its head against his leg.

"What is this?"

The man's voice was filled with doubt.

Lin Xiaoman squatted down beside him and explained softly:

"This is a guide dog that Miss Xingqi specially brought back for you..."

The air froze instantly.

Everyone held their breath and watched Lu Tingzhao, even the golden retriever sat up straight obediently, waiting for his response.

Would this man be willing to accept this role he has never played before in his life?

Lu Tingzhao quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been burned.

"I don't need it."

His voice returned to its usual cold and hard tone.

"A white cane is enough for daily activities; I won't go far from home."

Lin Xiaoman had anticipated his reaction.
