Chapter 128: Repeating the Same Mistakes!

As Liu Feng and Xu Na headed into the kitchen, Liu Xiaowan hurriedly warned Chu Lin, "Stop trying to be the center of attention!"

Chu Lin smiled without a word; the glamorous young woman’s warning had no bite.

Liu Feng soon returned, and shortly after, Xu Na followed, carrying dishes one by one, including a meticulously simmered soup.

Soon, Chu Lin caught the scent of a rich, fragrant liquor drifting out. It was a potent, full-bodied wine—the distinct aroma of the artisanal red yeast rice wine unique to their Minjiang region.

Sure enough, a basin of warmed red yeast rice wine was brought out. One could see medicinal herbs added to it, along with chicken feet. Stewing chicken feet is a signature way to serve this local wine, though adding medicinal herbs was rare.

"Xiao Chu, Xiaowan, this wine is incredibly nourishing. You can't buy these herbs in stores; they were dug up by the elders in our hometown on the mountainside. There are many benefits—you’ll see once you’ve finished it," Liu Feng said, pouring a bowl for both Chu Lin and Liu Xiaowan with a mysterious air.

He knew that the dignity of a man in his fifties relied heavily on this wine.

Hearing her husband’s words, Xu Na, despite her age, couldn't help but shoot him a shy, annoyed glare, reminding him to mind his tongue in front of their daughter and her boyfriend. Even if the wine had "stimulating" effects, there was no need to make the young people feel awkward.

Still, it was a good thing their daughter was finally letting go of the past and starting over, especially since she had found such a well-off boyfriend. She proactively poured herself a bowl, saying to Liu Xiaowan, "Xiaowan, to celebrate you moving on and starting fresh, Mom will have a bowl with you."

Liu Feng immediately raised his bowl to toast Chu Lin. "Xiao Chu, let's have a drink. I’m entrusting Xiaowan to you from now on. She lost her husband, and she’s older than you—she can’t compare to those young girls out there. I hope you won't mind."

"Uncle, how could I mind Sister Xiaowan? I don't even have enough time to love her enough," Chu Lin replied, taking the opportunity to profess his feelings to the beautiful woman.

In truth, how could those young girls compare to a captivating woman like Liu Xiaowan? He had some money now; he wouldn't lack for young, pretty girls if he wanted them. But a glamorous woman like Liu Xiaowan was a rare find. That figure, those assets, and that innate charm were things young girls couldn't catch up to even with a whip.

"That’s
