Dou Xiangling knows that people abroad do not value family ties as much as people from China do.
In particular, Ian had replaced the original successor of the Count and it was normal that the Count and Countess would feel uncomfortable deep down inside.
However, she could also see the hardships Ian had to suffer in the Count's Mansion.
Dou Xiangling pulled his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't be upset because of their cold attitude. To me, they are merely your family members and since they dislike you, there's no need for me to go out of my way to like them."
Even though Dou Xiangling did not mention any words such as affection or love, everything she said was due to her understanding of him. Ian felt happy at her consideration and pulled her into his embrace as he said, "Xiangling, it's great that I was able to fall in love with you."
Having said that, he brought her to the palace.
