The blind boss's nanny

"Yes! You gave me a large sum of money! So I should kneel down and be eternally grateful, thanking you for giving me such an honor!"

"Is there anything else you're not satisfied with?"

"No!"

Lin Xiaoman turned her head away.

"I'm very satisfied! Someone like me, to be associated with a family like yours, should be burning incense in front of the ancestral hall!"

The man frowned slightly:

"I don't want to incite any conflict, including between the rich and the poor or between men and women."

Looking at his ever-calm face, Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt powerless.

This kind of emotional stability is a privilege of those in positions of power; a more accurate term would be—indifference.

"I'll let you go if you say you won't hit me again."

The man's voice revealed no emotion.

Lin Xiaoman gave up resisting and vented all her dissatisfaction, which made her feel much better.

She slumped and relaxed:

"You don't need to chase me away, I'll leave as soon as it's light."

Lu Tingzhao slowly released his grip.

As soon as she was free, Lin Xiaoman rushed towards the door.

The next second, she turned back as her fingertips touched the doorknob, gently placing the white cane back into his palm, leaving without any hesitation.

Lu Tingzhao lay alone on the large bed. He didn't know what time it was, but it should be almost dawn.

The scent of orange blossom emanating from the woman filled the air, which inexplicably irritated him.

The wound on his arm from where she pinched him was only now beginning to ache.

He wasn't oblivious to the hurt in her voice, but those in positions of authority never need to explain themselves to their subordinates.

As an employer, he believed that he had shown far more tolerance and respect than the average person.

What his subordinates and employees think is not something he should worry about; he doesn't have that much free time.

For some reason, after being questioned by Lin Xiaoman, Lu Tingzhao's heart was stirred.

He almost blurted out some comforting words.

This unfamiliar impulse startled him.

Lu Tingzhao was never a compassionate person; he reserved all his gentleness and patience for his younger siblings.

At this moment, however, he almost broke his principles because of the trembling in the nanny's voice.

The more Lu Tingzhao realized this, the more he knew that Lin Xiaoman absolutely could not stay here any longer.

He absolutely would not allow the outside world to portray his relationship with the young nanny as a romantic scandal.

My reputation for integrity built up over the past thirty years cannot be ruined by this liar nanny.

The next morning, Lu Tingzhao opened his eyes and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Without Yuanbao's wet nose brushing against the back of his hand, the scent of orange blossoms in the air had faded.

He called out tentatively, but there was no response.

"Aunt Mei."

He pressed the intercom button.

"Please come up here."

He will not let that woman get close again.

As Aunt Mei was making the bed, Lu Tingzhao came out of the bathroom.

"Aunt Mei, arrange a car later. Lin Xiaoman is leaving today."

Aunt Mei's voice sounded somewhat disappointed.

She left just as dawn broke.

"She didn't take the tablet you gave her, nor the phone that Assistant Qin gave her."

Lu Tingzhao paused for a moment.

"How did she leave?"

"Leng Feng drove us here."

He sneered inwardly. This woman was indeed extraordinary; she could even command his most trusted bodyguard.

Letting her leave was the right decision.

"Where's the gold ingot?"

Aunt May sighed.

"He just sat in the yard and wouldn't come in no matter what."

Lu Tingzhao walked to the courtyard and called out. Yuanbao immediately ran over, but grabbed his trouser leg and stubbornly pulled him outside.

"Yuanbao,"

The man lowered his voice:

"Your master is me."

The golden retriever let out a pitiful whimper, its wet eyes fixed on the doorway.

Lu Tingzhao repeated expressionlessly:

"She's not coming back."

Yuanbao suddenly looked up and barked loudly.

Lu Tingzhao brought it back into the house.

Aunt Mei pushed open the study door and came in, carrying a first-aid kit.

"Chairman, before Lin Xiaoman left... let me see the wound on your arm."

As soon as Aunt Mei rolled up her sleeve, her expression changed.

Lu Tingzhao had several bruises on his arm from pinching, which looked painful.

"That brat, she's so reckless!"

Aunt Mei said this, but her eyes were secretly observing Lu Tingzhao's expression.

"That's outrageous! Letting her go is the right thing to do!"

Aunt Mei said this insincerely.

No matter what, this nanny shouldn't have done this to the chairman!

Even in bed, this shouldn't be done!

Lu Tingzhao is particularly sensitive right now.

Ever since he learned that Lin Xiaoman was actually a young woman, he has been able to discern the subtext in other people's words from their tone of voice.

Just like now, Aunt Mei may seem to be blaming Lin Xiaoman, but she has long regarded Lin Xiaoman as one of her own.

They treated the scars on his body as playful squabbles between lovers.

The man frowned; he simply couldn't imagine it:

This misunderstanding of him actually lasted for more than a month!

"Aunt Mei,"

He made it clear directly.

"My relationship with her is that of a boss and an employee."

He unusually added an extra note:

"It's not what you imagine."

Aunt Mei stopped what she was doing.

Originally, she thought it was just a fight between the two of them, and that Lin Xiaoman might still have a chance to come back.

But now, that possibility has undoubtedly been eliminated.

Aunt Mei was very disappointed.

Lin Xiaoman is a very likable girl. She is serious and responsible in her work, and the two get along very well.

Most importantly, since she arrived, the chairman has been smiling much more.

Just then, Qin Xiu's phone rang.

In front of Aunt Mei, Lu Tingzhao turned on the speakerphone:

"Chairman, Lin Xiaoman contacted me this morning."

Qin Xiu said on the other end of the phone,

"She said she didn't expect you to be so angry about hiding your age from her. She said since she pinched you, she only needs a month's salary, after all, you were quite ungentlemanly last night, pushing her down twice..."

Aunt Mei listened intently, her eyes lighting up, completely unaware that Lu Tingzhao's face was growing increasingly dark.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Don't you think people misunderstand enough?

"Enough! I don't want to hear that name again. Get to the point."

Qin Xiu remained silent for a while.

"I also bear responsibility for this. I didn't inform you about her immediately..."

"alright."

Lu Tingzhao did not offer any further comments, and the matter was dropped.

A risqué joke and farce.

Although it was a simple and basic trick, this group of elites were fooled by Lin Xiaoman by sheer chance.

Now that the person is gone, the matter ends here.

Qin Xiu quickly said:

"I'm looking for new talent, and they'll be sent over before tonight. Chairman, rest assured, I will be very selective this time..."

Lu Tingzhao only said one sentence:

"I want a man."

Aunt Mei tiptoed out of the study, recalling the scene when Lin Xiaoman came to see her that morning.

It was just dawn, and Lin Xiaoman looked at herself timidly.

"Aunt Mei, I didn't pinch the chairman on purpose. I was just too angry last night."
