In a small event hall, parents and children from a different class of society gather for the event. When Elizabeth and Little Yan arrived, the event has already started.
"Hello, Ma'am can I help you?"
"We like to prepare an art piece for the charity."
"Let me help register you and your daughter then."
When the staff mentions Little Yan as her daughter she felt embarrassed, to think they thought of her to be the mother of such an adorable little girl.
Once they were registered, the staff brought them to an empty spot since they divided the hall into different areas for parents and children to paint without any disturbance. As they were heading to their area, loads of people were commenting about the beauty of the little girl and the woman carrying her.
"Daddy look, that mommy is so pretty."
"Look it's a princess…"
"Daddy, the girl is so cute…"
Children and parents could not take their eyes on them, they were indeed very attractive which surprise some of them that such a family would join such an event.
"Here you are, all the materials you need are all here. If you do need something else, feel free to call us."
"Thank you…" Elizabeth greeted the staff with a bow and so did Little Yan.
Elizabeth then placed the artist smock on the little girl afterward she put one too. She happily face the little girl next to her.
"Alright then, let start Little Yan."
There were two canvas boards, a small one for the child and a large one for the parents.
Elizabeth observed patiently what the little girl would do. As the little girl started brushing different bright colors on the board, she too started painting as well.
...
While they were painting, people were roaming around the hall watching different people working on their artworks for people to purchase later.
Amongst them was an old lady covered in white hair was roaming around the hall as she watches children and parents painting together. However, she was not pleased with some of them since they were too serious in pushing their children to do well.
As the old lady continued to walk around, she notices one pair of mother and daughter seems to be working in harmony. She watched as the mother closely watch what the little girl was doing and try to copy her inspiration onto her own board as well.
But she wasn't that impressed when she noticed the mother was one of those typical beautiful mothers, too elegant and noble afraid to get themselves messy. As she was about to walk ahead she was in disbelief of what suddenly happened.
The woman took her board down and place it on the ground, she then grabbed the brush that the little girl was holding onto and dipped the little girl's hand directly on the paint.
The little girl was confused and was in shock of what was happening.
The woman then guides the little girl to her board and slowly printed the little girl hand to it.
"Let's have fun Little Yan." Elizabeth cheerfully said, as she deep her hand onto the paint as well and printed it onto the board too.
The little girl notices a small smudge of paint on the woman's cheek, as she unintentionally tried to wipe it off, she forgot her hands had paint on them. She panicked when she realized her mistake.
When the woman noticed that the little girl trembled in fright from what happened, she then painted the little girl's face as well.
"Now we're even." She smiles making the little girl smile back in delight as well.
As the two of them continued to paint on the ground, soon people gather as they watch the duo work on their masterpiece.
"Wow, the mother and daughter sure work well together."
"The little girl is still so cute despite being covered in paint."
"Check out the mom, isn't her skin just so perfect. Despite her face is covered with paint, you can still see her beautiful skin."
Everyone continued to praising the mother and daughter pair. Amongst them was the old lady earlier that's been watching them closely from the beginning. She was indeed pleased with the scene, as she saw the most beautiful part of all, the love of a mother to her daughter. She shook her head disappointedly the she judge the woman at first and slowly made her way.
...
By the entrance, a tall figure man just entered the hall.
"Sir, can I help you?"
"I'm here for my daughter."
When the staff looked closely at the man, his eyes were so cold however were quite familiar. "Ah, you must be the father of the cute little girl earlier with the same outfit as her mom."
The man was speechless hearing the woman was being referred to as his daughter's mother.
"Come with me Sir, they have quite an audience and they have even painted a couple of pieces already since they were both amazing."
When the staff lady guides the man to where the two were, he was dumbfounded to see the crowd gathered around them.
"I'll be sure to buy their work."
"Even though they look messy, the outcome in the end sure is a masterpiece."
"The man of the house sure is lucky to have such a beautiful wife in his house."
Yun Shen could not believe what he was hearing, as he moved closer and pushed his way through the crowd he finally understood what they meant by messy.
The duo continued to work on the ground, as the woman got up to get some more paint. She suddenly felt a familiar gaze amongst the crowd. As she turned to see who it was, the man was standing amongst the crowd.
"Your here…"
The little girl reacted and looked up when she heard the woman's voice acknowledge someone. When she saw who it was, she stood up and ran to that man and hugged his leg tightly. As the girl embraces the man's leg, she remembers she was covered in paint. She stepped back and saw the mess she has done to the man's pants.
Yun Shen got down on his knees as clean the little girl's face. "It's alright."
