After a long while, perhaps realizing that the purpose of his visit today would not be achieved, or perhaps struggling to process the news about the pills he had just received, Elder Fang stood up to take his leave.
Feng Qingqing did not try to persuade him to stay. She gave a faint nod and accompanied him to the door. Once she saw him depart, she turned and headed back into the house. She had noticed the subtle expression on the old man's face as he left; she knew he had much on his mind. But since she had already said what she intended to say, whatever happened next was no longer her concern.
She did not force matters. She believed in letting things take their natural course, just as with her relationship with the elder couple.

Over the past few years, she felt she had given her heart to the relationship, and her assistance to the old lady was a sincere reciprocation. She had never kept track of gains and losses.
