Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 544 I want to buy a house that can accommodate 12 people

The next morning.

Chen Yan gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time, the sound of raindrops could be clearly heard in my ears.

I subconsciously turned my head to look at the window, but there was no sunlight, and the room was darker than usual.

It's raining.

Let me sleep a little longer. Rainy days are perfect for sleeping.

Looking down at the sleeping fawn in his arms, Chen Yan smiled, hugged her soft, fragrant body tighter, and closed his eyes again.

As if sensing his movements, Yoona half-opened her eyes and glanced at him, then closed them again and snuggled closer to him.

Accompanied by the sound of rain, the two quickly fell asleep again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yan suddenly felt an itchy sensation on his nose. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Yoona's smiling face with her eyebrows curved.

Seeing that he was awake, Little Deer withdrew a strand of hair she had placed between his nose and eyes: "You're awake? How come you slept longer than me?"

Before Chen Yan could reply, she raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Could it be... that you were too tired last night?"

Sensing the sarcasm in her tone, Chen Yan chuckled softly.

"Lim Yoona, who was the one who slapped the bed and begged for mercy last night? And don't you know that provoking a man first thing in the morning is a dangerous thing to do?"

He pulled the blanket over himself, ready to show Little Deer the consequences of provoking him.

"No, no, no, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I won't say it anymore."

"late."

"No, no, no, I really know I was wrong. I'm hungry, let's eat first, okay?"

Just then, a cell phone rang, interrupting the two of them from their playful banter.

As if she had found a savior, Lin Yoona quickly broke free from Chen Yan and reached for her phone on the bedside table, not even bothering to cover up the large expanse of her fair skin that was exposed.

"Answer the phone, you answer the phone first."

She picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and suddenly froze.

"what happened?"

"It's President Kim."

Chen Yan was also taken aback.

President Kim? Kim Young-min?
He took the phone from her; it was indeed a call from Kim Young-min.

The two exchanged a glance, but neither seemed nervous.

Lin Yoona lay back in Chen Yan's arms, pouted, and gestured for him to answer the phone.

Chen Yan smiled and answered the phone.

"Hello, President Kim."

A cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Director Chen, hello. I hope my call hasn't disturbed your work?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan subconsciously looked down at Lin Yoona in his arms.

It didn't disrupt my work, but it did disrupt my in-depth communication with your artist.

Yoona wrinkled her nose at him, signaling him to focus on the phone call.

Chen Yan replied with a smile, "No, I just happened to go to the restroom. Why is President Kim calling?"

"There is something I would like to discuss with Director Chen."

Kim Young-min didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Our company is preparing for Girls' Generation's comeback early next year. I wonder if Director Chen has time to write a title track for the album?"

He saw the trending topic about Chen Yan switching to the OST field yesterday, and knew that Chen Yan had started writing songs for others again. That's why he thought of calling Chen Yan to talk about Girls' Generation's new album.

Chen Yan is now a director at JYP, so sending a song invitation email directly won't work; he has to make the call himself.

This young man is undoubtedly the most popular music producer in the industry right now, without a doubt. Being able to collaborate with him generates a huge amount of buzz and attention.

SM Entertainment has no reason not to capitalize on free publicity.

Moreover, Chen Yan's family has a cooperative relationship with SM Entertainment. SM made a fortune from the last f(x) and Girls' Generation concert in Guangdong Province, China.

Having tasted success, it's only right and proper to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Chen Yan.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan looked down at Lin Yoona in his arms again.

The little deer was drawing circles on his chest with a strand of hair.

"Um, President Kim, I still have two songs to write, and I won't be able to find the time until at least the end of November. Is that convenient for you?"

"It's convenient. Right now, the company has only set a general plan, and formal preparations haven't started yet. The timeline is entirely flexible."

"Oh, so what's the concept and positioning of this album?"

As Chen Yan and Kim Young-min continued their conversation, Lin Yoona, who was in his arms, stopped what she was doing and looked up at him.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and a strange smile flashed in his eyes. Soon after, he made a new move.

Chen Yan was intently discussing the collaboration with Jin Yingmin.

"Okay, I understand. This collaboration..."

"What's wrong, Director Chen? Do you feel there's a problem?"

"Oh no, I just accidentally bumped into the corner of the table when I got up to get some water."

Can I tell you that I was actually bitten by one of your artists?

Glancing at the mischievous little deer that was smiling at him with its bright, curved eyes, Chen Yan tightened his grip on his phone and continued:

"I accept this collaboration. It will be a pleasure working together, President Kim."

"Haha, it's a pleasure to work with you, Director Chen."

After finishing their business, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.

As soon as the call ended, Chen Yan looked at Lin Yoona, his eyes narrowed slightly, and smiled, "Was it fun?"

There seemed to be a hint of something else in his tone.

Yoona raised her head and smiled sweetly.

"Don't you find it exciting? You're talking to President Kim on the phone while looking at me like that."

"Exciting, very exciting."

A flame ignited in Chen Yan's eyes; he was indeed provoked.

so.
"Prepare to die, Im Yoona."

"Yeah~"

Two hours later.

The restaurant, with its lights on, echoed with the sounds of people slurping noodles.

Chen Yan and Lin Yoona each had a bowl of tomato and egg noodles with plenty of ingredients in front of them, and they were eating with relish.

After a series of fierce battles, both of them were starving and had a great appetite.

In this state, Chen Yan was too lazy to make anything too complicated, so he simply cooked two bowls of noodles, solving the brunch problem for the two of them.

After slurping up a mouthful of noodles, Yoona chewed and said, "I see there are still quite a few ingredients in the refrigerator. I'll cook dinner tonight."

Chen Yan paused slightly while eating, glanced at her, and smiled.

"Okay, then you can cook tonight."

Speaking of cooking, he followed up by asking, "Yoona, when did you learn to cook? I see you can cook quite a few Chinese dishes."

"Well, it's okay to tell you. According to the normal timeline, I will receive an invitation from China to play the lead role in a TV series by the end of next year."

Chen Yan paused for a moment: "A TV series from China?"

"Yes, it's a historical drama co-produced by both sides, called 'God of War Zhao Zilong.' You must know Zhao Zilong, right?"

Chen Yan nodded.

Zhao Yun, also known as Zhao Zilong, is a name that almost every Chinese person knows.

Yoona recalled, "It was through this opportunity that I gained a deeper understanding of China. I ate a lot of delicious food there, and after returning, I gradually learned how to cook many Chinese dishes."

As she spoke, she gave Chen Yan a smug smile: "How about that? Aren't I amazing?"

"Amazing, really amazing." Chen Yan gave a thumbs up.

After dinner, the two tidied up a bit and then sat down on the sofa in the living room.

Leaning against Chen Yan, Lin Yoona gazed at the gray sky outside the French windows, the whole world seemingly shrouded in a fine drizzle.

In this situation, she felt inexplicably calmer.

"This kind of weather is perfect for staying at home."

"Ah."

Chen Yan looked at the rain outside the window and nodded.

"Let's watch TV."

Just as Chen Yan was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly thought of something: "How about we watch something else?"

"what?"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get it."

Looking at his retreating figure, Lim Yoona frowned in confusion.

Chen Yan returned in less than a minute, carrying a tablet computer.

He sat down again next to Lim Yoona and handed her the tablet with its screen lit up.

Reaching out to take it, and after seeing what was on it, Lim Yoona raised an eyebrow: "A house?"

"Yes, I told you guys before that I plan to buy a house at the end of the year. These are the houses I've been looking at these past few days."

Chen Yan smiled at her: "Since you're off today, why don't you help me take a look?"

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Im Yoona immediately became interested.

This is their future home, and as one of the ladies of the house, she naturally has to take a look.

This is a big deal and cannot be taken lightly.

He put his arm around her soft waist and said, "The apartments I chose are all in the heart of Seoul, in Gangnam, Samseong-dong, and Cheongdam-dong."

These three places are all affluent areas in Seoul.

There are many advantages to choosing an affluent neighborhood. Not only is the surrounding infrastructure complete and shopping districts clustered together, making it convenient to buy anything, but the safety and privacy of the residential area are also guaranteed, which is very suitable for their situation.

Of course, there are also drawbacks, namely, it's expensive.

The peninsula is already small in size, and it's no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is incredibly valuable, let alone Seoul, the capital city that houses nearly half of the country's population.

Chen Yan has learned that the average price of a house in Seoul is around 18 million won per pyeong (3.3 square meters).

(One pyeong in South Korea is approximately equal to 3.3 square meters)
This price, converted to the price per square meter in China, is about 6.3 RMB.

However, in other places outside of Seoul, housing prices are much cheaper.

Leaving aside distant places, just considering Gyeonggi Province, which is right next to Seoul and separated from Seoul by only a line, the average housing price is only about 3.7 RMB per square meter.

Yes, despite being separated by only one line, Seoul's housing prices are twice that of Gyeonggi Province.

In more distant places, such as Gwangju, Bae Suzy's hometown, the average housing price is naturally even lower, at only about 1.8 RMB per square meter.

Housing prices have almost doubled, which shows just how incredibly valuable land is in Seoul.

Moreover, 63,000 RMB is just the average house price in a normal area of ​​Seoul.

In affluent areas like Gangnam, Cheongdam-dong, and Samseong-dong, where Chen Yan has chosen, property prices are far higher than in other areas of Seoul.

Yoona looked down intently at the pictures on the tablet, zooming in occasionally.

Chen Yan smiled and explained, "There aren't many houses that can accommodate nine people. These are the ones I initially selected that I think are suitable. They're basically located by the Han River, and each house can accommodate about 12 people."

After he finished speaking, Lin Yoona paused in her swiping motion and looked up at him with a half-smile.

"12 people? I remember you said you were going to buy a place that could accommodate eight or nine people. Why have you changed your mind now, huh?"

Chen Yan knew immediately that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I thought about it carefully later. We're nine people living together, so we can use the extra rooms as walk-in closets."

He pointed to the set that Yoona was watching on the tablet.

“For a two-story house like this, it would be best to have a walk-in closet upstairs and one downstairs. Any extra rooms can be combined to make walk-in closets, and one or two rooms should also be reserved as guest rooms.”

That was truly his intention; he didn't have any ulterior motives whatsoever.

When a man is truly devoted to a woman, he can't handle too many women. The current situation is just right; any more and he would be overwhelmed.

After staring at Chen Yan for a few seconds, Lin Yoona knew he was telling the truth, and her doubts vanished, though she still wore a half-smile on her face.

"Nine people? Who did you include?"

"Forehead"

Chen Yan paused for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh.

He did indeed include Krystal Jung, that little ice queen, in his calculations.

"Humph~"

With a light hum, Lim Yoona said nothing more and continued looking at the house.

After looking at a set, she thought for a moment, then used her tablet to transfer all the pictures to her phone.

Then I opened Kakao, opened a group chat, and sent all the pictures to the group.

Chen Yan, who was standing next to her, watched her series of actions and blinked as he looked at the group chat.

"A loving family? Why didn't I know this group existed?"

Okay, we're all family, but you've been having your own little group behind my back, haven't you?

"You'll find out now, won't you?"

Yoona looked up at him and said lightly, "What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Then of course I have no objection."

Chen Yan smiled warmly.

How could he dare to have any objections?

In an 8 vs 1 matchup, the advantage doesn't lie with him.

Yoona rolled her eyes at him and then lowered her head to continue typing on her phone.

On the phone, Lee Soon-kyu, who was the least busy, had already popped up in the group chat.

Li Sunny: What is this?
Yoona: This is the house Chen Yan chose. Unnie can take a look.

Li Sunny: OK.

The two then continued looking at the pictures of the house and started discussing it together.

"The angle of this river view isn't quite right."

"This is a bit too close to the shopping district. I wonder if it will affect my sleep at night."

Chen Yan watched from the side, feeling very comfortable.

I'll finally have my own home soon!

Now, the only thing left to resolve is the issue of Krystal Jung, that little ice queen.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone in the family was still busy with their own work, including Chen Yan.

But on October 4th, a Friday, one person had a little free time in the evening.

That evening, in a private room of a high-end Western restaurant in Gangnam District, Seoul.

Chen Yan sat at one end of the long table, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface, glancing at the door of the private room from time to time, his expression clearly showing some tension.

He was waiting for Krystal Jung.

The girl happened to be free tonight, so he invited her to dinner at a Western restaurant.

I did owe Krystal Jung a Western meal before, and she has always remembered it.

So he chose this place to meet tonight, also to find out the thing he'd been thinking about from time to time these past few days.

Time slipped away little by little as Chen Yan lightly tapped the table with his fingers.

Finally, a few seconds later, the door to the private room opened.
