Chapter 35 - Anonymous Bidder

The crowd were all excited in what they were seeing. All eyes were fixed on them as they eagerly anticipate what will happen next.

The little girl grabs hold of her father's hand and pulled him closer towards the woman. As they got closer, Yun Shen notices the state of the woman; her hair, face, hands, and clothes were all covered in paint.

Yun Shen got his handkerchief out and wipe clean the paint on the woman's face causing the crowd to reach and applaud the man for his actions.

"Oh my gosh, are they shooting for a movie?"

"Bloody hell, that was just the coolest romantic movie ever."

"Now I understand why a woman like that would be willing to go all out, he has a man who cares so much for her."

The little girl then grabs his father's attention by offering him the artist smock. The man grabs the smock and took off his blazer and put it on.

Afterward, she pulled her father's hand and dip it into the paint and copied what Li Zi did earlier, and guiding him onto the board to print his hand on it.

With Yun Shen being present, the staff brought in another board for them to paint on. This time, Elizabeth places the board on the art stand and decided to do something special.

She focuses on the painting she was doing leaving the man and little girl to spend time with each other. Whilst she was painting she glimpses at the father and daughter time to time capturing their image in her mind.

Time passes by, the crowd was all amazed and stunned by what she was painting. It was simple yet very meaningful. No one expected she'll be able to paint something like that in such a short time...

"Amazing!"

"Wow, she did all of that in less than an hour."

"Who is she?"

Yun Shen who was busy painting with the little girl turned around when he heard the crowd's remarks. As he glimpses at the woman's work. His eyes were dilating in delight of what he saw, he suddenly felt something throbbing inside his chest...

"It's almost so realist."

"It's a replica of the father and daughter."

The crowd continues to praise her as she painted a portrait of the man and the little girl whilst they were painting together. It was not exactly as realistic since she barely had any time to finish it. But the father and daughter's facial expressions were captured accurately and the exact moment they were painting on the board using their hands.

...

Finally, the event has ended. Those who did not take part started walking around the hall as they do a final check on the masterpieces of each family. Once done, they will all be auctioned at the same time.

Amazingly, the trio painted a total of six masterpieces including Little Yan small painting and the portrait Elizabeth made.

Anyone has the right to purchase at all cost since it was a charity event.

As the bidding starts, they sold loads of paintings at a high price since it was a charity event. Some were sold for more than 10 grand.

It was Little Yan's painting next, amazingly a lot of people were bidding for it, ending the bid to 23 thousand. While the rest even exceed expectations, one reaches almost 100 thousand.

The last painting was Elizabeth's portrait of the father and daughter. Despite it was half complete it was still beautiful. When the bidding started it surprised everyone when someone bid 50 thousand for a starting bid it was the highest starting bid ever. The bidding was endless and it was over 100 thousand already. In the end, the portrait ended at 350 thousand to an anonymous bidder on the phone.

It was already past lunch when the event ended.

Elizabeth brought the little girl to the restroom to clean up leaving the man all alone resting in the setting area.

As Yun Shen ended the call he was making, the staff of the event and the organizer approached him.

"Excuse me, Sir?"

The man turned around giving them an icy expression causing the staff to be a bit frightened. They realize that the man was only soft towards his wife and daughter.

"We like to thank you and your family, because of you we exceed what we expected the charity fair would raise."

The man then handed him a couple of photos. "There were some of the photos we capture during the event. It is our gift to you, you need not worry they won't be published in the media at all. Once again, Thank you..."

They all bowed and thanked him again before they all left him alone. Yun Shen then turned the photos around to look at them, flipping from one photo to another until he stops when he suddenly felt a weird feeling after seeing the photo he was holding. He sighed as his lips slightly raised as he said to himself. 'Did I really look at her that way?'

"Chairman Yun."

When he noticed the duo walking towards him, he put the photos away in his blazer.

"Chairman Yun, what should we do now?"

Yun Shen looked at the woman who was carrying the little girl. Since they were wearing the same exact white dress, the paint smudges didn't look bad at all. He noticed that there were still some paint on her hair as well, all he could do was smile as he grabs the woman's bag off her shoulder..

"Let go."

Elizabeth was dumbfounded to the man sudden gesture, she then looked at the little girl who seems surprised as well.

The little girl gave her an expression telling her. 'What was that all about?'

"Little Yan that's what exactly what I was thinking."

She then kissed the girl on the cheeks wondering if they really were in sync. As they chased after the man who went ahead...
