The blind boss's nanny

Lu Xingyuan was the last person to get up in the house.

When he rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked into the restaurant, his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Xiaoman having breakfast with A Zhe.

"Thank goodness! Nanny, you're finally awake!"

He rushed over in a few strides and affectionately put his hand on her shoulder.

"If you don't get better soon, my brother might have to keep me here until the New Year!"

This place is great, with a movie theater and an e-sports room, but he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

Ah Zhe stares at the computer all day without saying a word, and even the fierce-looking bodyguard at the door ignores him.

For someone like Lu Xingyuan who loves excitement, it was like being in prison.

Seeing Lin Xiaoman recover at this moment, he felt as if he had seen the dawn of freedom.

He wanted to drive away immediately, but he still remembered what his older brother had told him.

"Um, nanny sister..."

He approached with a grin,

"You're a few years older than me, and you're beautiful, so you definitely won't hold it against me, right?"

Lin Xiaoman slowly put down her chopsticks, her gaze falling on his hand resting on her shoulder:

"Take your claws off."

Lu Xingyuan readily raised his hand and stepped back, his face still bearing a cynical smile:

"Take it away, fine. But seeing that you're alright, I'm really relieved."

Sunlight streamed through the glass window, dancing on his flamboyant fluorescent green coat.

This spoiled boy rarely showed any genuine relief.

Lin Xiaoman had already forgotten about this person; she had long put that incident behind her.

The compensation offered by Lu Tingzhao far exceeded her expectations, and she didn't expect to receive a formal apology.

But looking at Lu Xingyuan's grinning face, and remembering how she almost lost her job because of him, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:

"A verbal apology doesn't seem very sincere..."

Lu Xingyuan immediately perked up.

He knew he hadn't misjudged her! Indeed, she was the most interesting person here!

"What does my sister want?"

He excitedly moved closer.

"I'll take you for a high-speed drive, to watch fireworks from the mountaintop, and to a nightclub to dance. How about it?"

"Not interested."

The boy's eyes darted around.

"Shall I take you shopping to pick out clothes and jewelry?"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head again, a slight smile playing on her lips:

"How about you let me shower you with water too?"

She didn't seem to be joking.

Lu Xingyuan was not frightened at all; instead, he took her hand and gently kissed it.

"Sister, how can you treat me like this?"

Lin Xiaoman withdrew her hand without making a sound.

"I'm quite willing to part with it."

Lu Xingyuan wanted to hold her hand again, but then Aunt Mei and Lu Tingzhao appeared in the restaurant.

Clearly, Meryl Streep had already seen this.

She frowned and deliberately raised her voice, saying:

"Young Master Xingyuan, Xiaoman has just recovered. Please stop teasing her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingzhao immediately put on a stern face and said:

"Xingyuan, come with me."

Inside the study, Lu Tingzhao stood facing the window, the morning light casting a pale golden outline on his tall figure.

"Did you apologize to her?"

The man's voice was deep.

Lu Xingyuan, leaning against the door frame, scratched his chestnut-colored short hair, his fluorescent green coat casually open.

"I was just getting to the crucial point when you interrupted me, brother."

"Is that an apology?"

Lu Tingzhao slightly turned his head, his brows furrowing.

"What I heard was that you were playing tricks on her again."

The boy smiled, revealing two canine teeth:

"Brother, your nanny is quite interesting, I like her."

Lu Tingzhao was quite taken aback, but still patiently asked:

"Xingyuan, why do you always target her?"

"Who told her to play hard to get?"

Lu Xingyuan tilted his head, his earring flashing with light.

"That day in the yard, she clearly noticed me, but deliberately ignored me."

Lu Tingzhao was speechless for once, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.

He simply couldn't understand how his younger brother, who wore ripped jeans, could be interested in a middle-aged woman.

"From today onwards, keep your distance from her."

"On what grounds?"

Lu Xingyuan suddenly stood up straight; the boy's frame resembled a sapling growing vigorously.

"Could it be... that she's your woman, brother?"

"absurd!"

Lu Tingzhao's white cane slammed heavily on the ground.

"I'm not so desperate as to be indiscriminate in my choices."

In the restaurant, Aunt Mei walked up to Lin Xiaoman and lowered her voice:

"Xiaoman, has Young Master Xingyuan caused you trouble again?"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head.

She didn't even care about a spoiled young master.

"If he causes trouble again in the future, just report it directly to the chairman. Don't be afraid."

Lin Xiaoman nodded.

Aunt Mei then brought up a story from the past.

That year, 18-year-old Lu Tingzhou brought home his girlfriend, who was his classmate from a poor family.

"That girl looks just like you, very beautiful."

Lu Xingyuan was very mischievous from a young age. During a party one night, he pushed his second brother's girlfriend into the swimming pool.

Lin Xiaoman covered her mouth in surprise.

"How old was he at that time?"

Aunt Mei thought for a moment,

"Not even 7 years old."

It's the most awkward age... They say they're sensible, but they're too rough; they say they're immature, but they're clearly malicious.

Aunt Mei nodded.

"That girl couldn't swim and was terrified."

Lu Tingzhou disliked his younger brother from the start, believing he was the product of his mother's incestuous relationship with his uncle.

In a fit of anger, he threw young Lu Xingyuan into the pool as well, watching him struggle in the water while preventing anyone from rescuing him.

Until Lu Shen and Ye Qiyun arrived.

Ye Qiyun pointed at the girl's nose and cursed.

"It's all your fault! Someone like you, thinking you can just walk into our house?"

After that incident, Lu Tingzhou never called Ye Qiyun "Mom" again.

"And then what happened?"

Lin Xiaoman pressed for an answer.

After such a conflict, she found it hard to imagine that Lu Tingzhou could still live peacefully in the Lu family's old house.

Aunt Meryl Streep nodded slightly:

"Young Master Tingzhou was about to run away from home. The chairman acted decisively, building this manor as quickly as possible, and moved out with his younger siblings."

Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized:

"And... what about him and that girl?"

Aunt Meryl Streep sighed softly:

"They broke up that very night. Since then, Young Master Tingzhou has never had a serious relationship."

"I never imagined he was such a romantic."

Lin Xiaoman murmured.

Aunt Mei was amused by her innocent tone:

"He just doesn't date, it's not like he's immune to women."

Lin Xiaoman opened her mouth in surprise, but ultimately let out a soft sigh.

Sure enough, this is how scions of wealthy families behave.

Lin Xiaoman gazed at the exquisite courtyard scenery outside the window and couldn't help but sigh softly:

"If it weren't for the chairman, this family would probably have fallen apart long ago."

She realized her slip of the tongue as soon as she finished speaking and was about to apologize when she saw Aunt Mei nod in deep agreement:

"you're right."

Meryl Streep spoke earnestly:

"Neither of the chairman's two younger brothers are easy to mess with... Remember, never fall for either of them."

"Of course, that includes the chairman as well."

Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized... So that's what Aunt Mei really wanted to say after going around in circles.
