Fortunately, Xu Nuo didn't dwell on the matter and quickly changed the subject to some amusing anecdotes from recent days.
Looking at the vibrant woman talking excitedly in front of him, Gu Lehuan felt a bit bitter. If Dazhuang hadn't mentioned her struggles earlier, he would have assumed Mr. Xu had been living well all along.
"Mr. Xu, does the previous offer of me marrying into your family still count?" Gu Lehuan's sudden words brought a dead silence over the entire courtyard.
Xu Nuo's face stiffened, and she stared at Gu Lehuan in disbelief.
She had harbored some regrets before about not finalizing the marriage sooner. But truthfully, she never considered Gu Lehuan again. At least from the moment his status changed, Xu Nuo knew it was impossible for the two of them.
"Mr. Gu, please don't joke around." Xu Nuo didn't think Scholar Gu's nephew could marry into the Xu family. Even if she was willing, the Gu family definitely wouldn't allow it.
