Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Every stitch was beautiful and exquisite. It was unique and complemented the coronet. Cen Shuang recognized it at first glance. It was the wedding dress that her mother had said she would give to her when she got married. Even the blue teapot that she had personally embroidered on the corner of her dress was dazzling. Due to the bankruptcy of the Cen family, she had lost not only her title, but also her dreams of love and marriage.

Cen Shuang stood in front of the display cabinet and did not avert her gaze until Mu Sensen came over. She was shocked when he saw Cen Shuang’s tearful face. “What happened? How did the exhibition make you cry?”

Mu Sensen took out a tissue and hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face. She could not help but glance at the display cabinet. “Isn’t this…”

Cen Shuang’s wedding dress!

Mu Sensen was also stunned because Cen Shuang liked this wedding dress very much. When she embroidered the blue pot on the corner of the dress, she even laughed at her for a day. Cen Shuang was only fifteen years old, and she had already embroidered something on her own wedding dress. She simply hated how obsessed Cen Shuang was with marriage, so she even gave Cen Shuang a nickname. This wedding dress, together with the coronet, was very precious to Cen Shuang. She knew that Cen Shuang’s father and Cen Shuang’s mother had personally made this wedding dress. It was very expensive. It also had an extraordinary meaning, but now, this wedding dress was in the clothes exhibition.

Mu Sensen looked at Cen Shuang worriedly. She could not stop the tears from flowing down her face. She said with heartache, “It’s just a dress. We are very skilled, Shuang Shuang. We can definitely make something even more beautiful. It’s okay, don’t cry. Some of the needlework on it is indeed rare, but our flowing cloud needle technique is also very beautiful.”

Cen Shuang’s father was the one who taught her the flowing cloud needle technique. Cen Shuang could lose everything, but the Cen family’s craftsmanship could not be lost. The Cen family’s expertise had been established over a hundred years ago. Naturally, their family had a strong foundation. However, they did not expect a financial crisis and a sudden disaster. The entire Cen family was defeated. Even this wedding dress that her mother had always treasured for her actually did not belong to her anymore. So what if it still belonged to her? She was already married now and would never have the chance to wear it again. However, even though she knew that these tears could not be stopped. She still felt sad, despair, and hurt. However, she did not know who she should blame.

Cen Shuang suddenly shouted, “Sen Sen!”

Mu Sensen hurriedly replied, “Yes, what do you want me to do? Just say it. Just don’t cry anymore, okay? You’re our school’s beauty!”

When she started crying, many people in the exhibition hall started to look at her, especially the seniors and juniors. There were also many people who had a crush on Cen Shuang. The school’s beauty was sad and crying, so they all planned to take the opportunity to comfort her. If it were not for her reputation of being cold, they would have rushed forward impatiently.

Cen Shuang’s voice was hoarse. Although she was trying her best to hold back her tears, she could not control them and they kept pouring out. “I want to know the current owner of this dress.

Mu Sensen was stunned and quickly said, “Do you want to steal it?”

Cen Shuang looked at the bright red-and-gold colored fabric in front of her. She felt a piercing pain in her eyes, but she could not help but laugh. “I want to buy it. This time, I will not lose it.”

When the Cen family went bankrupt, all the safety deposit boxes and the things in the bank were seized by the entire bank to pay off the debt. She only remembered that the Cen family still had a big house waiting to be auctioned, but she forgot that the Cen family still had many things that would be relinquished at this time. As she looked at the outfit before her, she knew that even if she did not have a chance to wear it again, she still wanted to keep it by her side. She would want it with her if only to look at it.

Mu Sensen hurriedly said, “Okay, give me a moment. I’ll go and ask for you.”

The exhibition was not anonymous. In fact, it was very easy to find that out. However, it was registered under the name of a businessman’s wife. She did not know anything else.

When Mu Sensen returned, she felt very helpless. She could only comfort Cen Shuang. “They said that this dress is not for sale. As for the businessman’s wife, she is not in the exhibition right now. We have no way to contact her. Also, I heard that this dress is for show only for one day. Shuang Shuang, why don’t we forget about it?”

Obviously, this could not satisfy Cen Shuang. She stood in front of the display cabinet and did not move another step. “If we have no way to contact her, then I will wait. Didn’t you say that it is only for one day? They will come and get it at night, right?”

No matter how much it cost her, no matter what the conditions were, she only wanted this piece of clothing. Mu Sensen saw that her advice was useless, so she stood beside her and accompanied her. The people at the exhibition were in a hurry, and melodious music was on a loop. Cen Shuang stood in front of the cabinet like a mannequin. She did not move as if her soul was gone.

Mu Sensen advised, “Shuang Shuang, you should rest for a while. There’s still an hour before the end of the exhibition. Let’s wait for Mrs.. Shang to come, okay?”
