Chapter 85：Returning Home

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.

若非她从小成绩优秀，若非她从小就展现出了学业上过人的天赋和成绩，若非她从小就是他们的骄傲，也许他们的婚姻早就散了。

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

他们俩婚姻的维系还有一个最重要的原因，这个原因就在白灵自己身上。

她这个女儿独立到让人害怕，她都结婚了，有了法律上的老公，可是她父母对此一概不知。

他们不知道有罗肖这个人。

In reality, she had spent less than a year truly being with Luo Xiao, although she had known him for many years.

她与罗肖真正相处的时间其实一年都不到，虽然她认识罗肖这么多年了。
