Chapter 821: Love Rival

so loud that all the residents upstairs and downstairs were startled out of their homes. They nervously looked around, only she calmly opened her own door, then slammed it shut without a change in exp...Fang Mei sat on the small sofa, smiling as she watched him perform.

Henry loves it when she acts cute, and she enjoys his thoughtfulness.

"Do you like it"

Like Henry offered his treasure, he presented the gifts he brought from France.

Fang Mei carefully unwrapped the elegant packaging. It was a brand-name diamond butterfly necklace. "This is expensive, right I told you not to buy me these things anymore. I don't really wear them often."

Fang Mei felt sorry that the money was not worth spending.

Henry sat directly beside her, the small sofa originally meant for one person. He squeezed in, enjoying the feeling of being close to her.

"Little Mei, I'll put this on you."

Henry always called her "Little MeiMei" to cheer her up, it sounded so childish, and she couldn't help but smile every time.

"That's so pretty."

Henry put the diamond necklace around her neck and then cupped her face, gazing at her intently with a smile in his eyes.

"I was in France at the time, thinking about what to get you. When I passed a window display, I immediately fell in love with this necklace. I just knew it would be perfect for you."

Fang Mei, seeing his affectionate expression, couldn't blame him for spending money recklessly anymore. Her eyes were filled with happiness as she said, "Thank you."

Henry expressed his affection very directly, pulling her close and kissing her.

"You don't have to look for a job anymore, I can support the family."

"There is an old Chinese saying that men should support their families and be pillars of society."

Henry leaned his head against her shoulder, gently stroking her long hair. His eyes landed on the resume she had submitted on the computer screen, and he began to seriously discuss work matters with her. After all, his income was now sufficient for them to live comfortably.

She tilted her head up to look at him, her face still warm from the recent affection. Her eyes locked onto his as she softly told him, "No, you don't have a legal obligation to support a family yet."

Unless they get married, that's not considered providing for a family.

Henry also realized that only those who were "getting married" would use that word, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. "Sorry."

He suddenly apologized, which made the originally sweet atmosphere a little awkward.

Every time he mentioned 'marriage', he always apologized to her, as if Fang Mei was constantly urging him to get married, putting a lot of pressure on him.

Fang Mei let go of his embrace and shook her head at him, "It's okay."

She decided not to discuss marriage with Henry. As a traditional Chinese woman, she always felt that if two people loved each other, they should get married and have lots of children.

And Henry, probably because he was an orphan since childhood and had a pair of perverted adoptive parents, gave him a bad childhood shadow.

Henry suddenly got up and walked toward the kitchen. Fangmei quickly grabbed him, "Don't cook... You just arrived back from your flight, you're very tired, rest."

"No, I'll make you something delicious."

Henry had a habit. Every time he made Fang Mei angry, he would always like to cook something delicious and bring it to her, as if that way, she would definitely forgive him.

"I'm not angry."

Fang Mei wanted to drag him to rest, but Henry was very stubbornly putting on an apron and picking up the spatula with great familiarity.

"It's so early, you probably haven't had breakfast yet. What would you like to eat"

"Would you like me to cook you a tomato beef noodle soup"

Fang Mei couldn't argue with him, so she had to sit at the small table and wait for the meal. "Why did you only cook one serving Aren't you hungry"

Henry's ordinary tomato beef noodle soup always looks and smells more appetizing than it appears in the market.

Henry untied his apron and walked over to her, kissing her cheek. "I'm not hungry anymore," he said. "My colleague is waiting for me downstairs."

"Huh"

Fang Mei was suddenly taken aback.

"You just got off the plane, your colleagues are downstairs, you run to find me first"

Henry smiled at her and nodded.

"Honestly, you don't have to rush to see me next time. You should rest first, and besides, you have so many colleagues waiting for you... I'm really embarrassed."

Fang Mei felt overflowing sweetness, but also a great deal of guilt.

"It's fine, they're having breakfast at a restaurant nearby anyway." Henry was used to leaving his colleagues behind.

"If you're not in a rush, you should eat some of this tomato beef noodle soup to warm your stomach. Don't keep flying around all day; if you get a stomach ache later, it'll be troublesome."

As they spoke, Henry slipped into the small bedroom and rummaged around for something. A moment later, he came out carrying a hairdryer.

"I'll blow dry your hair, and you can eat noodles."

Henry broke into a brilliant, sweet smile.

When he was hugging her just now, he noticed that her long hair was damp, probably because Fang Mei had stayed in France for too long and she was used to taking a shower every morning after waking up.

“I heard that if you don't dry your hair when you're young, you'll get headaches when you're old.”

Henry had become very skilled over the years at braiding her long hair, and he insisted she keep it long, preferably to her waist. He loved her thick, black hair.

Fang Mei jokingly said, "So you've thought about me when I get old"

"Of course."

Henry smiled triumphantly, gently and carefully blowing her long hair with his hands.

The hair dryer was a bit noisy, but it couldn't dampen the warmth of their laughter.

Knock knock knock —

The iron door was knocked a few times. At first, they didn't pay attention, but when the door was opened with a key, Fang Mei suddenly turned her head back to look.

"Henry!"

is the agent Jiang Shiyi.

"Henry, we have a whole crowd waiting for you down here. What took you so long" Her voice was clearly reproachful.

Especially seeing Henry actually blow-drying hair for this Chinese woman, while having all of us wait down here!

Henry looked at his agent, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Okay, I'm coming right away."

Saying that, Henry made sure Fang Mei's hair was completely dry before putting the hairdryer down.

Fang Mei could only give Jiang Shiyi an embarrassed smile, but the other party didn't seem to appreciate it. With Henry behind her, Jiang Shiyi glared at Fang Mei fiercely.

Whisper, "Henry just signed with a new company, he's really busy!"

Everything they say, both directly and indirectly, is blaming her as a girlfriend for not contributing anything and only holding him back.

Fāng Méi's face showed no expression, nor did she display any anger. She saw them out to the door and couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have a key to my house"

Yet Jiang Shiyi gave a laughable expression, "This house was originally rented by me. Henry just asked me to sublet it to you at a lower price."

Fang Mei stood rooted to the spot.

Over there, Henry has already been pulled away by the other guys on set. They've got to keep going with their work.

Fang Mei watched as the large group of them left in a flurry, she sighed for a long time. She knew that Jiang Shiyi, this manager, liked Henry, but Henry was so clueless. She really didn't want to stir up trouble, and besides, she firmly believed that Henry wouldn't cheat.that photographer man, she also found him strange.
