She saw a loveless marriage in her parents, which existed solely for survival.
她从她父母的身上见到了一种无爱的婚姻，是只为了生存活下去的婚姻。
If she hadn\''t been an exceptional student from a young age, hadn\''t displayed extraordinary academic talent and performance, and hadn\''t been their pride, perhaps their marriage would have fallen apart long ago.

There was one crucial reason for the continuation of their marriage, and it lay within Bai Ling herself.

罗肖这个做女婿的想要去拜访自己的岳父岳母无可厚非，这是他的心意，也是他重视白灵的一种表现。
