He was drawn to her eyes and energy during their first meeting.

The Finnish man kept finding excuses to meet her in person and sent her flowers and gifts daily.

He booked flights to meet her in different countries. He wanted to win her over, even when she said no.

Thuong didn't want to date him because he was a client, and she was searching for her biological mother.

Teemu Soini and Huyen Thuong went on a date in early 2026.

Thuong was abandoned at birth and adopted by a childless couple, who were police officers.

Despite a good career, she wanted to find her biological family.

After months of searching, she found her biological mother, but the woman didn't want to meet her.

Thuong felt abandoned again and was very sad.

She couldn't eat and worked too much, so she had to go to the hospital.

Soini visited her in Hanoi, and they talked about their past.

Thuong learned that Soini grew up without a father.

Soini had to work many jobs to pay for university, and he still felt sad about his childhood.

Soini told Thuong he would always be there for her and take care of her.

During his week-long stay in Vietnam, Soini learned about Thuong's likes and took care of her dog.

Soini often brings Thuong flowers.

Since they started dating, Soini gives Thuong flowers every day.

Soini celebrates Vietnamese holidays with Thuong, even though they're not widely known in Finland.

Soini is kind to everyone, from helpers to waiters, and Thuong likes this about him.

When Soini's company had a problem, Thuong offered to help him with the money.

Soini was touched by Thuong's offer and started thinking about marrying her.

Soini and Thuong cook together in their Hanoi apartment.

Thuong's assistant says Soini flew from Europe to Thailand to see Thuong for just one day.

Soini plans to propose to Thuong at a party to celebrate their one-year anniversary.

Thuong is ready for their next step together and wants to build a life in nature when they're more stable.
