Thinking of her daughter whom she had never met, and her son Dongfang Chen whom she hadn't seen for many years, she felt a little timid, afraid of seeing the look of disgust on her children's faces when they saw her.
Seeing Dongfang Long's expression, Haitang thought of Dongfang Chen and Dongfang Meng, and quickly reached out to grab Dongfang Long's hand. "Little Long, have you forgotten? I'm just as scared. I left for several years for no reason. I'm wondering now if Xiaomeng doesn't remember her mother. I feel the same fear as you."
Haitang was right. It wasn't just Dongfanglong who felt fear; she herself felt the same way. Sometimes, Haitang didn't know how to face her two children, whom she had left many years ago.
She wondered if her brother, Dongfang Chen, harbored resentment towards her, and if her sister, Dongfang Meng, didn't remember her. As for Xiaoyu... did Xiaoyu also have a problem with her? Haitang was worried and afraid.
Upon hearing Haitang's words, Dongfang Long was stunned. "I'm sorry..." Dongfang Long understood that the reason Haitang left was largely because of him. If it weren't for him, Haitang wouldn't have left.
Upon hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but smile and shake her head. "There's no need to apologize, because it's not your fault. You did it for our own good, and so did I. We just have our own things to do, so... don't be afraid. It's okay if we're resented. We can't stop seeing our children just because we're afraid of being resented. That would be unfair to Chenchen and Xiaomeng."
Why should she judge the child based on her own thoughts? Although Haitang was scared, she also knew that she should go see her child. Upon hearing this, Dongfang Long nodded and followed Haitang home.
Dongfang Chen has now also become a member of this guard. When there is nothing to do, he will train with his uncle. During training, he heard someone say that Haitang has returned.
Originally, Dongfang Chen was going to leave these things behind and go find Haitang, but Xingxing coldly said, "Do your own thing before you leave."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen was slightly taken aback. He nodded while looking at Xingxing. When get out of class ended, Xingxing immediately ran to find someone, and while doing so, she saw Haitang.
While Haitang was tidying up at home, Dongfang Meng and Dongfang Yu went out to play with Dongfang Long. When Dongfang Chen saw Haitang, he immediately ran over, calling out, "Mommy... Mommy..." and rushed over to hug Haitang.
Looking at Dongfang Chen, Haitang was also surprised, and immediately hugged the boy, saying, "You've grown taller and bigger... really..."
Haitang immediately smiled and said, "You've really grown taller and bigger." Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen looked at her and smiled, "I'm already over ten years old. Of course I've grown up, and I'm still a beastman." Yes, he had grown taller and bigger, and he was a beastman.
Upon hearing this, Haitang glanced at Dongfang Chen, reached out and ruffled the boy's hair. She then looked up at Dongfang Chen and ruffled his hair again.
Indeed, she's grown up, and her appearance resembles Dongfang Long even more now. Of course... there's still a hint of her own features in her brows. Looking at her, Haitang smiled and said, "Come in..."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen nodded and went directly into the room with Haitang. Once inside, Dongfang Chen said, "Mom, I thought you wouldn't be back for a long time." Last year, the people from the Elephant Tribe came.
Under these circumstances, he was a little worried. Haitang might be there for a long time. He thought he would have to wait a long time. At that time, Dongfang Chen thought that if he waited, he could wait a few more days and go to find his mother when he was a little older.
In fact, Dongfang Chen had already thought it through from the beginning. It didn't matter if his mother and father didn't come back. The adults had their own things to do, and he could just go find his mother and father himself.
Unexpectedly, his mother returned. "Mom, didn't you say Dad was coming back?" Dongfang Chen couldn't help but ask as he looked around, even though Dongfang Chen wasn't around at the moment.
Upon hearing this, Haitang smiled and said, "Xiaomeng and Xiaoyu were here just now. When they saw their father come back, they asked him to take them to catch fish." Haitang said with a smile because Dongfanglong had returned.
At first, Dongfang Meng was a little reserved and didn't dare to get close to Dongfang Long. However, the father-daughter relationship was easily broken, and they quickly became close. At this time, Dongfang Long took the two children to play.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Chen nodded. Although he was a little disappointed that he hadn't gone out with his father, he still followed Haitang back to his room. After Haitang returned, Xingxing also came to see her.
Not only Xingxing, but also Xiaohe and others came, as did Shihu. With so many people, Haitang started cooking and prepared a meal to entertain them all.
When everyone arrived, Haitang said directly, "Alright, let's eat." Hearing this, Haitang and the others nodded, and Dongfang Long also returned.
When they returned, Haitang and the others started eating as soon as they saw people. While they were eating, Dongfang Long started drinking with Shi Hu and the others. Haitang glanced at them but did not stop them.
