On the contrary, Gia Tuong said he was attracted to her smiling eyes even though Thuy always wore a mask. "Every long time, I see her eyes looking at me illegally. Although I have never been in love, I have started to pay more attention to her, he said.
At the time of pursuit, Gia Tuong showed his sincerity through small but delicate actions. Just knowing what dishes his girlfriend likes, he immediately bought them, even for her whole family. "I say less but do more. Always appear when I need them, never just say it", Ngoc Thuy shared. That is what opened her heart and quickly accepted love.

Ngoc Thuy did not hesitate to follow her husband, traveling with him to take photos to make a living. In 2017, Gia Tuong renovated the small storage room of his family into a mini studio. From a small amount of capital, they gradually built a wedding photography brand and opened a larger studio.

To give his wife the opportunity to improve her skills, Gia Tuong agreed to sell her camera - the most important asset - to cover the cost for Ngoc Thuy to go to Thailand to study specialized makeup. Returning home, she rushed into work, and the two gradually rebuilt everything. Currently, their lives have stabilized, their jobs are developing day by day.

I am the last audience to be patient with you from the worst photos until you make money to take care of your family," he said choking up.
