She slowly said, "There are many marriages that didn't come together because of love, yet they are still quite warm. There are so many people in the world, how many can truly marry the perfect man they envision? Some marry for love but lead a life lacking in material comfort; some marry for material wealth but never find their own love; some marry for love and have a good material life, yet their husbands fall for the charm of other women. There are all kinds of situations. As I see it, Xichen, except for not loving you, treats you very well otherwise. He gives you nothing but the best, neither abuses you nor subjects you to passive aggression, and he doesn't have any bad habits himself. Didn't you know what kind of life you were going to lead when you decided to marry him? Didn't you then think that it didn't matter if there was no love now, because after living together long enough, love could develop?"
