Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Ye Fan was a little confused. He recalled the incident of pretending to be Jisoo's boyfriend yesterday. He hadn't said that he was a fan of Jisoo, had he?

"When did I ever say I was a fan of Jisoo?"

"Um?"

"But didn't you say Jisoo is prettier than unnie?" Kang Seulgi puffed out her cheeks and answered directly after Ye Fan asked.

"Seulgi!" Bae Joo-hyun called out softly, then elbowed Kang Seulgi again.

Ye Fan's mind went blank again. Did he say those words?

Thinking back carefully, it does seem like they were talking, but it seems like they were talking in a restaurant. How did the two of them know that?

Is it...

Faced with Ye Fan's questioning gaze, Bae Joo-hyun had no choice but to tell the truth, while also stepping on Seulgi's foot, who continued to eat in silence.

"When you said that, Seulgi and I were at the table behind you, and we both heard it."

Ye Fan: ...

How embarrassing! The person involved overheard it and even got their face pressed against it. But now the case is solved! We finally know why Kang Seulgi could recognize her even though she hadn't seen her photo.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became a little awkward. Kang Seulgi's small eyes darted left and right before she asked, "So you're not a Jisoo fan?"

"No, I'm not."

"So you really think Jisoo is prettier than my unnie?"

"Forehead……"

Ye Fan glanced at Bae Joo-hyun and found that she was also looking at him, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"They're both good-looking, but personally, I think Jisoo is better..." Ye Fan answered truthfully, without changing his words because his previous statement had been overheard and the person in question was present.

Only when you need something from someone or have ideas about them will you say nice things to go along with their wishes, but Ye Fan didn't have that intention, so naturally he wouldn't change his tune.

He's not a simp.

"Oh~"

Bae Joo-hyun forced a smile, indicating that it was okay, since everyone has different tastes. However, the smile looked somewhat forced, with the corners of her mouth slightly turned down, clearly indicating that she hadn't heard the answer she wanted.

"Hmph, brother-in-law, that's not a good thing to do. You have to say something nice to your sister."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head, her face regaining its original gentle and dignified smile.

"Are you going to do a live stream right after you finish eating?" Bae Joo-hyun changed the subject. As soon as she entered the living room, she noticed the computer desk next to the TV, which was covered with a lot of live streaming equipment, and there was also a guitar on the wall.

"No, I need to work on some video content, so I won't be doing a live stream for now."

He has to do a live stream later, and then he has to edit the video, so he won't have time to do a live stream. He also has to go to work at the agency the next day, so he won't have any extra time to do a live stream.

However, he was thinking of increasing his fan base first, so that he could receive a GG later.

"Can we watch from the sidelines?"

"You said you could sing before, and I was quite curious about it." Bae Joo-hyun became interested.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan refused outright, "I'd rather not. It would be too much pressure for the two of you to be watching me, and I would feel awkward."

Bae Joo-hyun's smile faltered again. "Oh, okay then..."

Wow, brother-in-law, he refused for the second time!

Silently, Kang Seulgi gave Ye Fan a thumbs up in her heart. She had been observing him closely and found that Ye Fan's expression did not seem to be lying or playing hard to get, so this was a genuine rejection.

He could have easily gotten closer to them by agreeing to just one of the topics, but he refused them all!

"Brother-in-law, you said before that you didn't have a girlfriend, right?" Kang Seulgi's small eyes darted around as she picked up the conversation again, preventing the atmosphere from becoming dull.

Ye Fan and Bae Joo-hyun were too lazy to correct Kang Seul-gi's way of addressing her; she wouldn't listen when they told her, and she wouldn't change her ways even after they did.

"No, I don't really want to be in a relationship right now. I'm busy with work and making short videos, so I don't have much energy to focus on relationships."

"Furthermore, I feel like I'm not very good at interacting with people. I don't know what to talk about with them, and I feel like even if we start something, it will end eventually. So it's better to stop it from the start."

Ye Fan put down his chopsticks and, meeting their gazes, spoke these words, which reflected his current attitude and views on relationships.

"But you did very well yesterday."

"Hey, that's just acting, anyone can say something cheesy." Ye Fan gestured with his hand.

"Is that so..."

After finishing their meal, the two put down their chopsticks and bowls. Bae Joo-hyun said softly, "We're sorry to have troubled you. Shall we help you clean up?"

"No need, I can take care of it."

"Well... we'll take our leave now. Please contact us if anything comes up."

Since Ye Fan had already said that, and he still had work to do, they felt embarrassed to stay any longer.

"it is good."

After grabbing their bags, the two women went out. Suddenly, Kang Seulgi turned around and wanted to exchange contact information with Ye Fan.

"Then we'll be going now, goodbye brother-in-law."

"Bye-Bye."

After seeing the two women off, Ye Fan let out a sigh of relief; it was another magical day.

Thinking about the previous topic, Bae Joo-hyun's appearance, and Kang Seul-gi's repeated calls of "brother-in-law," Ye Fan slapped his face, trying to calm himself down. He shouldn't have any illusions, and he shouldn't deceive himself, or he would become a clown.

Call ~

Once inside the elevator, Kang Seulgi kept her head down in deep thought, completely unaware of the gazes around her. Bae Joo-hyun was also pondering Ye Fan's words, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

"Unnie, thinking about your brother-in-law?"

When they descended to the first floor, seeing the woman with a slight frown, Kang Seulgi teased her.

"What are you saying?"

"Also, stop calling him 'brother-in-law' all the time. Aren't you ashamed?" Bae Joohyun glared at Seulgi, annoyed. Seulgi had been calling him "brother-in-law" since they met. Luckily, there were only three of them today. If there were other people around and she still called him that, she would have really hit him.

"He's not your fake boyfriend, so it's not wrong for me to call him brother-in-law."

"You already said it was fake, so you're not allowed to call me that anymore, understand?" Bae Joo-hyun reached out and pinched Kang Seul-gi's round face.

Kang Seulgi: I won't listen, I won't listen, you'll do it again next time.

"Unnie, I'm sure now, he wasn't playing hard to get. That confirms my second guess!"

"Hmm, and then?"

"And that means the other person is a good person!" Kang Seulgi said matter-of-factly. She knows her limits, doesn't take advantage of others, and clearly refuses even when she has the opportunity to get closer. This has already defeated many men!

Look at the other men in the industry, how many can do that? Not to mention Ye Fan also has excellent cooking skills.

"Didn't you hear what she said? She's focused on working hard right now and has no interest in relationships." Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes at her. Ye Fan had already made it so clear.

"oh?"

Seulgi's eyes crinkled into a smile, her expression teasing as she stared at her older sister. "So, unnie, you mean if he has feelings for me, then it's okay?"
