A large star-shaped frame on the photo wall was full of pictures of a girl as a flower girl from the age of four to twelve.

The little girl had fair skin, a sweet smile, and a delicate face. She wore a small wreath on her head and held a flower basket decorated with fresh flowers in her hand.

She wore flower girl dresses in white, pink, or sky blue, looking like an angel.

In the photos, she portrayed various poses. Sometimes standing properly behind the newlyvveds, sometimes tossing flower petals, and occasionally holding hands with the boy playing the flower boy.

There was one particular photo where she wore a pink dress, with her hair in cute braids and a wide-brimmed hat resembling a cape, delicately framing her face. Petals adorned her entire outfit, and she smiled radiantly, as if there were stars in her eyes.

He suddenly remembered that she had come to look for him when she was wearing this dress.

She had placed a handful of candies in front of him and told him about her shoot with a smile.

Those moments seemed like yesterday, but today, the person who had come to choose a wedding dress with her was not him!

His heart suddenly sank, his tall figure almost stumbling, and his gaze blank. He felt a sense of desolation enveloping him.

If he could stand by her side, so what if he fell into her trap?

But now, she insisted on marrying a rural man. He was not inadequate; why should he let her manipulate him?

Ultimately, Gong Zhan was defeated by his own pride. He walked back to Lin Miao, who then felt relieved.

Upstairs, Gu Zi was selecting a wedding dress from a row of gowns, while Su Shen was inspecting the flower girl outfits on the opposite side.

His mind had memorized Gu Zi’s childhood flower girl photos, wondering if there were similar styles available.

It was a pity he hadn’t had the chance to know that little girl from the bygone years.

She had always been beautiful since childhood, with delicate features, resembling a princess doll displayed in a store.

“Uncle Li, are these designs the same as the original batch?” he asked.

“Little Zi used to wear model outfits. They’re all still in the storeroom.” Uncle Li smiled.

Su Shen fell silent for a moment, saying, “Can I buy those dresses she wore? I want to gift them to Gu Zi as a memento.”

He was jealous that Gong Zhan could witness her growth. He couldn’t have those memories, but he wanted to take these dresses away.

Uncle Li was stunned for a moment. He understood what Su Shen meant and joked, “Those are not for sale; memories don’t have a price.”

Su Shen replied, “No matter how much, I’m willing to pay for them.” After speaking, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li chuckled, “I’ll charge you according to market price. I was just teasing you; your sincerity is commendable.”

With that, he instructed someone to fetch the dresses.

Gu Zi overheard their conversation but felt hesitant to approach. If Su Shen wanted to buy them, so be it. After all, he had a lot of money.

Su Shen borrowed a phone from Uncle Li and called the office at the pig farm to have someone come to the bridal shop to collect the items.

Uncle Li approached Gu Zi, saying, “You’ve found a rich man! Well, a wealthy man and a beautiful woman match perfectly, and more importantly, this man loves you.”

Uncle Li was a man with experience and wisdom. This bridal shop had been open for more than ten years and had experienced many twists and turns before reaching its peak.

The history of this shop was like a microcosm of his life. He had seen many fiancées coming and going every day.

He could tell at a glance whether a man’s love was genuine or feigned.

Gu Zi raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect Uncle Li to still believe in love at this age. It was quite adorable.

Perhaps it was because he was in the bridal shop business, or perhaps love in this era was indeed more genuine.

She smiled and replied, “He runs a pig farm in the countryside. While life isn’t luxurious, it’s decent.”

In the end, Gu Zi chose two wedding dresses of similar styles in different colors to try on. When she emerged after changing into the first one, she stunned everyone in the bridal showroom.

She wore an elegant lace chiffon dress with a large area of hollow lace on the chest, paired with a long, full skirt, conveying the grandeur of marriage.

All eyes were on her as she emerged. Her classic pearl flower veil exuded a rich Republican-era charm.

She appeared dignified and gentle, yet exuded a lively, youthful aura.

In her previous life, Gu Zi had admired such Republican-era style wedding dresses. She didn’t expect to find them in a bridal shop from the 1980s, so she picked a set in white and another in pink without hesitation to try on..
