"Hello, Mr. Lin," Assistant Liu's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Boss Lu has decided to hire you."

"I'm sorry," Lin Baishu was slightly taken aback when he heard it, and he suspected that he had heard it wrong, and that such a good thing could happen all of a sudden?"Could you repeat that?"

"Boss Lu agrees with you to be his chef," Assistant Liu repeated, and he added, "But the salary can only be paid according to the minimum standard, can you accept it?"

"..." Lin Baishu laughed, "Of course I can."

Should I say... He never thought about asking for a salary at all.

Lin Baishu was soon arranged to live in a room on the south side of the mansion, and started his work as a chef.

In fact, being the chef here, the workload is less than when he was cooking for Lu Tianyun in China before.

Because at that time, although someone delivered fresh ingredients to the door every day, he was the only one in the entire kitchen, and he had to handle the ingredients by himself before putting them into the pot.After dinner, because Lu Tianyun didn't hire a live-in nanny, he only hired a part-time worker who came to clean it once a day, and he didn't want to pile up those used pots and pans and wait for the part-time worker to wash them, so he was the one who washed them all the time.thing.

Here, there are several Chinese chefs who are responsible for preparing dishes, washing dishes, etc. He only needs to cook directly, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

The attitudes of several kitchen workers towards Lin Baishu were very friendly, and they were obviously full of experience. They handled the ingredients quickly and professionally, which saved Lin Baishu a lot of trouble.

After Lin Baishu finished cooking the first meal for Lu Tianyun, he contracted their dinner that day.

After Lin Baishu cooked the meal, he ate with them in a small restaurant outside the kitchen, and they also invited two Filipino maids who had a good relationship with them to eat together.Everyone spoke highly of Lin Baishu's cooking skills after tasting the dishes.

Lin Baishu is used to this, he just smiled and said: "Thank you."

He chatted with them a few more words, and gradually the topic came to Lu Tianyun.

Lin Baishu asked: "When I applied for the job, Mr. Lu's assistant mentioned to me that Mr. Lu is not in good health now. Do you know what's wrong with him?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying that they only knew about it, but they didn't know what disease he had.

"I know he sometimes vomits, feels nauseous, lethargic and has no appetite," said a Filipino maid.

"These symptoms," said a female chef, "how come they are so similar to when I was pregnant?"

As soon as she said this, someone immediately burst out laughing, and someone said: "Mr. Lu is a man, how is this possible."

The female cook couldn't help laughing too.

The following topic about Lu Tianyun also passed quickly, and everyone did not discuss any results. After all, it is impossible to diagnose someone based on these symptoms alone.

No one noticed that Lin Baishu's expression became a little solemn and deep.

After eating, Lin Baishu returned to the room that Assistant Liu arranged for him.

This room is more than ten square meters, with a window on one side, and a set of tables and chairs beside the window.

Lin Baishu sat on a chair, lost in thought.

He had thought before that there was indeed a possibility that Lu Tianyun might be pregnant.

However, it is only a possibility.

He has no hard evidence.

And he doesn't know if Lu will have any other symptoms that he doesn't know.

But just now, the Filipino maid said that Boss Lu still has vomiting, nausea, lethargy and no appetite these days.

This is clearly a symptom that may occur during pregnancy.

Lin Baishu recalled the situation when he met Lu Tianyun not long ago.

At that time, Lu Tianyun was sitting on the sofa, his thinner body was wrapped in a loose nightgown, and the condition of his abdomen could not be seen.However, if Lu Tianyun was really the child they conceived in Oasis Villa, then it is only two months away, and Lu Tianyun's figure is so good, his abdomen should not have changed in such a short period of time.

So, did Boss Lu...

Do you really have to wait for a while to see him before you can find out?

Lin Baishu frowned.

Then he took out his mobile phone, found a person's phone number, and dialed it.

This person's name is Chen Yan, a friend he made when he was in ZXC University. The other person is much older than him, and he is a doctor of medicine in ZXC University.Chen Yan happens to be working at a world-leading hospital chain in E City that specializes in providing high-quality medical services, and serves as the dean.

After the call was connected, Lin Baishu briefly greeted Chen Yan's recent situation, and said:

"I'd like to ask you something. If a person continues to experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, lethargy, and loss of appetite, what disease is he most likely to have?"

"Many diseases can cause these symptoms," Chen Yan said. "The more common ones are gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, etc. In addition, pregnancy is also possible, and you still need to go to the hospital for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis."

Lin Baishu: "If it's a male, is there a possibility of pregnancy?"

"Although male pregnancy is very rare under normal circumstances, the possibility cannot be ruled out." Chen Yan asked strangely, "Why do you ask this suddenly? Is there any male pregnant by your side?"

Lin Baishu said truthfully: "I don't know, but it's quite similar."

"This kind of thing can't be guessed, you still have to go to the hospital for an examination," Chen Yan suggested, "If it is really a male pregnancy, I will actually suggest him to come to E City if conditions permit, because the obstetrics department of our Shengda Hospital ranks No. 1 in the world.First, the medical level in the field of male fertility is the most advanced in the world. In addition, there is a maternal and child care institution in E City, which is also the world's top. It also serves men. As far as I know, they also have a special male pregnancyNursing team."

So Lu Tianyun came to E City from China, is it because of this?

Lin Baishu thought immediately.

The fact that Lu Tianyun was pregnant seemed a little more believable.

Lin Baishu said again: "Well, do you know what men need to pay special attention to during pregnancy? Are there any pregnancy recipes?"

Although he certainly knew a lot more about male pregnancy than the average person, it was definitely not comprehensive enough.

"Our obstetrics department has published relevant manuals, I will find a copy and send it to you later." Chen Yan said.

"Okay, thank you."

After the phone call, Lin Baishu turned on the laptop he brought and logged on to a website for overseas academic literature and journals.

He searched with keywords such as "male" and "pregnancy" in English, and sure enough, he found some related papers. He clicked on the first article "Influencing Factors of Negative Emotions During Male Pregnancy and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy"Effect Research", I plan to start from this article and study all these articles.

————

Lu Tianyun didn't know that Lin Baishu had vaguely guessed the truth about his sudden departure. He just heard from the security guard who was in charge of watching Lin Baishu to prevent him from wandering around in the manor.Every day, he only moves around in the area designated for him by Assistant Liu, and never tries to wander around.

He was both surprised and relieved by this.

But at the same time, there seemed to be a strange and inexplicable loss.

However, he didn't think carefully about his complicated mood, he just told the security guard: "If there is anything wrong with him, tell me immediately."

On the other hand, Lu Tianyun also found out that Lin Baishu's cooking seemed to be more delicious than before.

In addition to refreshing, delicious and non-greasy dishes, some of the dishes now have a slightly sour or sweet taste, which really whets his appetite, so that he can eat at least three bowls of rice as a base for every meal.There has been no inability to swallow food.

Although he still hasn't stopped recruiting new chefs, the dishes made by those chefs who apply for employment every day are completely different from Lin Baishu's.Usually, the Filipino maid has just brought the dishes to the table. After he takes a quick look and smells the smell, he will ask the Filipino maid to take away the dishes and replace them with Lin Baishu's dishes.

Probably because he was able to eat well again, he didn't need to drink porridge anymore, and he wouldn't be vomited directly by some meaty and greasy food anymore. Lu Tianyun's daily nutrition intake has been greatly increased. Although there are still some drowsiness and nausea during pregnancy, heThe body that had lost some weight quickly regained a lot of flesh.

That night, when Lu Tianyun soaked in the bathtub and took a bath, he touched his abdomen with his palm, and there was a slightly soft feeling on his hand, which was quite different from the familiar and firm feeling before.

Lu Tianyun looked down, and found that within a few days, although his abdominal muscles were still there, they were obviously not as good as before, and his waist seemed to be a little thicker.

He was slightly taken aback, and pinched his waist again.

I pinched a little bit of soft meat.

Lu Tianyun frowned.

Although he certainly knew that since he was pregnant, the state of his abdomen would gradually change over time.

But in his current situation... why does he look a bit fat...?

After taking a bath, Lu Tianyun wiped off the water droplets on his body with a towel, came to the full-length mirror, and began to carefully observe his current physical condition.

He had always been in good shape before. Not only was he naturally tall and well-proportioned, but he also had just the right amount of muscles. He looked strong and tough, but he wasn't overly exaggerated or greasy like some burly men.

But now, he saw that the person in the mirror not only did not have the same abdominal condition as before, but also the originally beautiful muscles in other places seemed to have become slightly less interesting.

Lu Tianyun frowned, and his face became even uglier.

Mostly because he couldn't eat, vomited from time to time, and lost a lot of weight. Now he can't eat all day long, so this phenomenon of muscle loss and fat gain occurred.

But the fact is that it has been less than three months since he was pregnant.

If he continues to let things go like this, what will his figure be like when he is about to give birth?

This is not just an unsightly problem. It is also mentioned in "Male Precautions During Pregnancy" that men need to pay attention to nutritional balance during pregnancy, and should control the intake of high-calorie foods, otherwise it is easy to cause pregnant men to be overweight and obese.Conducive to the normal growth and development of the fetus.

In addition, although men should avoid strenuous exercise after pregnancy, if there is no abnormality in the prenatal examination, they can start to gradually carry out appropriate physical exercise after three months, such as walking, jogging, aerobics during pregnancy and other soft and soothing exercises, if possible, it is best to exercise under the guidance of professionals.

Lu Tianyun looked at himself in the mirror, feeling helpless:

Looks like can't eat that much anymore.

At least...can no longer eat rice without restraint.

And, after a while, he really needs to get some exercise for himself.

Assistant Liu had a hand injury before, so he took a vacation after handing over his work. When his hand was almost healed, he was called over by Lu Tianyun as soon as he returned to work.

He knocked on the door and entered Lu Tianyun's room.

Lu Tianyun was sitting on the sofa at the side of the bedroom, when he saw him coming, he asked him to sit there.

Assistant Liu walked over, and immediately found that after more than ten days, Lu Tianyun's complexion became much better, and a lot of flesh appeared on his body, even plump than when he was not sick.The haggard and emaciated morbid appearance before was gone.

It seems that recruiting Lin Baishu is indeed the right choice.

Assistant Liu sat down on the sofa next to Lu Tianyun, and then he noticed a document lying on the coffee table.

"Is your hand okay?" Lu Tianyun looked at him and asked aloud.

"Well," Assistant Liu nodded, and stretched his wrist in front of him, "It's all right."

"Okay," Lu Tianyun stretched out his hand, and pushed the document on the coffee table towards him, "After you read it, sign it."

Assistant Liu picked up the file and quickly browsed through it.

This is the Personal Privacy Confidentiality Agreement in duplicate.

The main content of the agreement is that, when Party B works as an assistant to Party A, the personal physical condition, health and medical data and other information obtained by Party B belong to Party A’s personal privacy, and Party B shall not disclose it to any party without Party A’s permission.Otherwise, Party B shall pay Party A liquidated damages.

At Party A's signature, Lu Tianyun's powerful handwriting is clearly visible.

Assistant Liu suddenly understood.

In fact, he didn't know what happened to Mr. Lu's body these days.

When he accompanied Mr. Lu to the hospital to see a doctor in China, after Mr. Lu came out of the VIP doctor's office, he only said that he needed to do some tests and asked him to go directly to the parking lot and wait.

Of course he did so, so he didn't know what inspections Mr. Lu did later, nor what the final result was.

Not long after that, Mr. Lu directly asked him and two other life assistants to go abroad with him, but he still didn't mention his physical condition.

But now, it is likely that Mr. Lu is going to ask him to help deal with some things about the treatment of illnesses.

Although the labor contract they signed before had clauses related to privacy protection, it was not detailed enough. That's why Mr. Lu came up with such an agreement, right?

I don't know what kind of illness Mr. Lu has, and he is so cautious and mysterious...

Assistant Liu sighed secretly, and signed his name at Party B's signature place.

Lu Tianyun watched him finish signing, and said, "I have something for you to handle next."

"Well, please tell me." Assistant Liu said.

"Arrange to go to Shengda Hospital within a few days," Lu Tianyun paused for a moment, then continued in a calm voice, "do an obstetric examination."

"Okay." After Assistant Liu subconsciously agreed, he realized that something was wrong.

Obstetric examination?

Who does it?

Who needs an obstetric exam?

Is it possible that he didn't hear clearly just now?

To be on the safe side, Assistant Liu asked again with some trepidation:

"Sorry, let me confirm again, I'm going to Shengda Hospital for..."

"I will do the obstetric examination," Lu Tianyun said blankly, his words were very clear, "Do you understand?"

"……Understood."

Assistant Liu felt that he knew something extraordinary.

At this moment, his mind was a little confused.

He knew very well that the gender of Mr. Lu's various certificates was male.

Moreover, after all, he has been Lu Tianyun's life assistant for many years, so it is inevitable that he will occasionally see Lu Tianyun's body in occasions such as custom-made clothes, saunas, swimming pools and other occasions. He knows that it is very enviable and masculine.Body.

He was very sure that Boss Lu was not a woman disguised as a man.

So, a man, such a strong, stern, and cold man, is...pregnant?

He seemed to hear the sound of his world view being impacted and broken.

At the same time, during this period of time, various symptoms of Mr. Lu flashed in his mind like a movie.

……I see.

It all makes sense.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at Mr. Lu's abdomen.

However, just as he moved his gaze, he noticed that Lu Tianyun was also looking at him with sharp eyes.

Assistant Liu was overwhelmed by Mr. Lu's sharp eyes, and immediately felt the inappropriateness and offense of his gaze, and quickly lowered his eyes.

This time, his eyes glanced at the "Personal Privacy and Confidentiality Agreement" that he signed just now.

Ah, yes.

He realized it completely.

No wonder Mr. Lu asked him to sign this thing.

This is really information that must not be leaked out!

a day later.

A bodyguard drove Assistant Liu and Lu Tianyun to Shengda Hospital in a low-key black car.

The bodyguard parked the car in the parking lot, Assistant Liu got out of the car first, and went to the other side to open the door for Mr. Lu.

With a long leg, Lu Tianyun stepped out of the car door.

At this moment, Lu Tianyun was wearing a black baseball cap, sunglasses, and a black mask to completely cover his head and face.

He is also wearing a black casual hoodie and slacks of the same color. The hoodie has a very loose fit, covering his body so that his waist is not visible at all.

Even though his belly doesn't look abnormal at all now, he's already started doing it like this.

In fact, he hardly ever wore this type of clothes before, but now he wears them with a casual, trendy, cool and cool feeling.

When he first came to City E before, Lu Tianyun was accidentally photographed by the uninformed streaming media from country A because he might have been a little ostentatious unintentionally, so he had to be more cautious this time.

Accompanied by Assistant Liu, Lu Tianyun came to the obstetrics clinic of the hospital.

Shengda Hospital is famous for its high-quality medical services. There is no need to queue up for the examination. Under the leadership of the nurses, it didn't take too long to complete various items.

Lu Tianyun has been pregnant for three months now, and through B-ultrasound, it can be seen that the fetus has roughly the shape of a human.

Lu Tianyun looked at the small ball on the display screen, and when he thought that this little thing actually existed in his stomach, he had a particularly incredible feeling.

"Look, it's moving," the obstetrician put the B-ultrasound probe on his belly and said with a smile, "It's so cute."

Lu Tianyun stared at the little guy who was kicking his legs and waving his hands: "Why don't I feel it?"

"It's normal not to feel it now," the doctor said. "Usually, you won't feel obvious fetal movement until about 16 weeks. However, men who are more sensitive may also experience it earlier, but this is also normal..”

Lu Tianyun nodded, but thought in his heart, this guy must not make too much noise in his stomach by then.

Let his father suffer less.

All the test results came out soon.

After the obstetrician told him that everything was normal, he gave him a pregnancy guide booklet written by Sunda Hospital.

Then, the doctor inquired in detail about his sleep, diet, pregnancy reactions, etc., and told him many things that should be paid attention to.

After talking about a bunch of contraindications and suggestions on diet, exercise, medicine, travel, etc., the doctor said: "During the period from thirteen weeks to twenty-seven weeks of pregnancy, pregnant men usually have a greatly enhanced sexual desire......"

Lu Tianyun's expression froze.

"Don't be nervous, relax," the doctor saw the change in his expression, thinking that he was a little shy because he was conservative in this respect, so he comforted him, "This is a normal physiological phenomenon, don't worry about it. But you need to pay attentionThe most important thing is that when the desire is particularly strong, it should be properly resolved, and this need should not be suppressed deliberately."

Lu Tianyun's expression became even uglier, and he said, "What will happen if you suppress it?"

"According to the latest research results, excessive depression has a greater impact on the mood of pregnant men, and it will make people prone to pessimism, depression, and irritability," the doctor said.Turn to a certain page in a medical journal and pass it to Lu Tianyun, "In daily life, people are more prone to emotional agitation, suspicion, and assumptions, which can cause shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain, and hypoxic fainting.And other physical symptoms, there may also be problems such as sex hormone disorders and endocrine disorders.”

Lu Tianyun: ...

In fact, according to some excerpts in the book "Precautions for Men During Pregnancy" and "Running with the Ball" that he had read before, he already knew that men's needs in that area would indeed increase after three months of pregnancy, and thisAt that time, the fetus in the womb has stabilized, and proper sexual life can be carried out. Proper sexual life is beneficial to the physical and mental health of pregnant men.

But it was the first time he had heard that abstinence during pregnancy could cause so many problems.

And the doctor said just now that this is the latest research result.

Unexpectedly, in a corner that few people care about, the research on male pregnancy is continuously making new progress.

That's right, the book "Running with the Ball" has a limited amount of text, and it is impossible to write all the information in this world.

Moreover, the development of many things now is already far from what is in the book.

Lu Tianyun had no choice but to quickly accept what the doctor said.

never mind.

Actually, it's no big deal.

It is not necessary to rely on others to solve the needs.

As a wealthy boss, he can even give birth to a child by himself. Couldn't this kind of thing be done independently?

The author has something to say:
