Instead of a small boat, Haitang made a string of wind chimes for Dongfang Meng. Dongfang Meng was a little taken aback when she saw them, but she burst out laughing when she heard the clear sound.

"It sounds beautiful." She couldn't help but laugh and started shaking it. The sound of the stones hitting each other was particularly moving. When Haitang looked at Dongfang Long, she couldn't help but laugh.

Dongfang Chen looked at his own little boat, then at Dongfang Meng's, and still felt that his own was better, so he wasn't jealous anymore. Haitang said as she looked at the children.

Hearing this, the children nodded and then happily went to take a bath. Haitang also went to take a bath. After the bath, the children went to sleep. Outside, the wind and snow started falling again. Under these circumstances, Haitang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But she quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep. After Haitang fell asleep, the wind and snow outside had not yet dissipated. When she woke up the next day, Haitang took her things and went to shovel snow with the children.

"Snowman." Haitang even made a snowman for the child. When Dongfang Chen and the others saw it, their eyes lit up, and they started making their own. Under such circumstances, they were truly happy.

Haitang and the others began to move. "This is Dad, this is Mom..." Dongfang Chen said when he looked at Haitang. Haitang was stunned. Seeing Dongfang Chen become a father and mother, and having younger siblings, she felt a mix of emotions.

"Mom...why don't we have a dad? Where did Dad go?" Dongfang Meng couldn't help but ask, looking at Dongfang Long, because...why isn't Dad here?

Others have many fathers, but she doesn't. When she heard this, Haitang reached out and hugged Dongfang Meng. "Because Daddy has something to do, he's gone to be a hero."

When Haitang thought of Dongfang Long, she couldn't say anything else. "He's just like a hero in a fairy tale. He left to save the princess, and he'll come back when he can protect her again."

"Mommy, is she a princess?" Dongfang Meng asked, looking at Haitang. "I want to be a princess too." Hearing this, Haitang nodded, wanting to be a princess as well.

“Okay, my little Meng will definitely become a princess in the future, waiting for your prince to come, but…” Haitang squatted down and looked at Dongfang Meng, “Even a princess has to be able to protect herself.”

Even a princess needs to be able to protect herself, instead of waiting for a prince to come and save her. That's unrealistic.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Meng nodded. At that moment, Dongfang Chen looked at the snowman placed not far away and thought of his father's words.

Yes, his father left for the sake of the family, but Dongfang Chen still felt a little resentful towards Dongfang Long. He knew that Dongfang Long had his reasons for leaving, but even with his reasons, he still couldn't help but feel resentful.

They complained that the other party had abandoned everyone, and that Dongfang Long hadn't returned yet. Under such circumstances, it was really hard to bear and feel very depressed.

When Haitang saw Dongfang Chen standing alone, she noticed his expression and reached out to hug him. Dongfang Chen was slightly taken aback. "Don't blame your father, little dumpling... You must remember, he did it for our own good."

Haitang didn't want her child to harbor resentment towards Dongfang Long. Instilling resentment towards her father in her child was a very irrational choice, as it would lead to psychological problems for the child.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I won't hold a grudge, Mom." Dongfang Chen sighed, knowing in his heart what could he do if he held a grudge? He understood that this matter was not his father's fault.

Haitang took the child to play in the snow. There were still many little beastmen outside. "Dongfang Chen... come here." She immediately said when she saw him.

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen and the others nodded and immediately ran over. Haitang sat not far away waiting for Dongfang Chen and the others, playing by herself with her cheeks in her hands.

At that moment, Dongfangyu sat down next to Haitang and asked, "Why aren't you playing?"

"I'll stay with Mom," Dongfang Yu said. Dongfang Yu actually knew that she was not Haitang's child. When she was brought back, although she was still young, she did remember some things. Moreover, her father was from a dragon tribe, and she was a fish, which made it obvious that she was not her mother's child.

However, there is one good thing, which is... right now, it doesn't matter whether Haitang is his mother or not, whether she is his biological daughter or not, he has already accepted it.

"Mom, I love you," Dongfang Yu said. Upon hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but blink, a reaction that left her somewhat bewildered.

However, even under these circumstances, she couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah, I know..." Haitang rubbed the other's head and hugged Dongfangyu tightly in her arms.

Dongfang Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and under these circumstances, she looked at her brother and sister not far away from Haitang's arms.

After watching the children play for a while, Haitang got up and went back. Dongfangyu quickly followed, glancing at Haitang as he caught up.

"Mom, let's make something delicious today." Hearing this, Haitang looked at Dongfangyu.

"I'll make you a shaved ice," Haitang said with a smile, eating the shaved ice in front of the stove. "You can't tell your brother or your sister," Haitang said with a smile, wondering what she should say.
