Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord
Chapter 11: Continue to Pretend to Be a Couple?
"I...I didn't say that, don't misunderstand me!" Bae Joo-hyun quickly denied it. She just thought Ye Fan was a nice person, just like Seulgi.
Seeing her somewhat flustered sister, Kang Seulgi's smile widened.
She knew this older sister too well; she was the kind of person who said one thing but did another. For example, when she called Ye Fan "brother-in-law," her sister said she couldn't call him that, but she didn't actually stop her or get angry.
She even took the initiative to ask to see Ye Fan sing while he was at his house, which clearly shows that she was curious about him.
Love begins with awkwardness and curiosity!
Unnie, I'm here to help you!
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Ye Fan dried his hands and sat down at the computer desk. After setting up the equipment, he began recording today's video. During this time, his phone kept ringing, including messages from Jiang Seulgi, whom he had just added as a friend.
"Brother-in-law, you're busy, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong, little sister?"
"Heh heh, she's the reserved type," Kang Seulgi chuckled on the other end of the phone, but it's not a big deal.
After connecting for more than an hour, Ye Fan exited the software, found three pretty clips, and planned to edit them into three videos. He also registered an Instagram account, otherwise he wouldn't have one if those foreign girls asked for it.
After getting up and walking around for a while, Ye Fan picked up his main phone and began replying to messages one by one.
Wu Yingying, his sister, sent him a message asking if he wanted to go out for a chat and have a couple of drinks. Ye Fan asked who else would be there, and Wu Yingying replied that it would just be the two of them. Ye Fan promptly declined.
In addition, other female colleagues also sent messages, and Ye Fan replied with a couple of sentences, saying that he was busy and needed to rest.
When it was Kang Seulgi's turn to speak, she praised Ye Fan's cooking skills and asked if he could visit again in the future.
Scrolling down, Ye Fan also saw an unread message from Bae Joo-hyun, praising his cooking skills and wishing him good luck at work. She even added an emoji, seemingly because she thought the message was too short.
While editing videos and replying to messages, Ye Fan sat for another hour before uploading one of the videos and then slumping into his chair.
"Dude, you're almost there? That's amazing!"
"A friend helped me, so it arrived faster. How should I put it, should I mail it back to you?"
"Keep it with you for now. I'll come visit you in early August and bring it back myself then."
"Whatever you want."
After hanging up his younger sister's call, Ye Fan glanced at the time; it was already 11 o'clock. After taking a shower and turning off all the lights in the living room, Ye Fan returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and hummed comfortably a couple of times.
"Hehe~" Kang Seulgi grinned. She had just subtly inquired and discovered that her "brother-in-law" was also being pressured to get married. Wasn't that the same situation as her unnie?
In that case...
Seulgi gets flustered whenever she starts thinking.
The next day at noon, Kang Seulgi went to Bae Joo-hyun's house again.
"Why are you here again?" Bae Joo-hyun looked at Seulgi, who was grinning sheepishly, with a somewhat bewildered expression.
"I've been taking a break lately, I'm just bored." Kang Seulgi changed her shoes and went straight to the sofa to lie down.
"Unnie, did you chat with your brother-in-law yesterday?"
We chatted for a few minutes.
Bae Joo-hyun patted Kang Seul-gi's butt, telling her to move over a bit.
"You didn't come all this way just to ask this, did you?"
"If you're so curious about him, why don't you go after him? The age gap between you two is smaller than mine." Bae Joo-hyun took a sip of water, picked up the cushion again, and replied casually.
"He's my brother-in-law, how could I dare!" Kang Seulgi smiled sheepishly and waved her hand.
Propelling herself up, Kang Seulgi leaned back, one hand supporting her head, and looked at her older sister, saying, "Unnie, I chatted with your husband yesterday and learned a little something. Do you want to know?"
After speaking, Kang Seulgi narrowed her eyes, watching her older sister's reaction. Sure enough, she could see that her body stiffened slightly, and the hand holding the pillow swayed somewhat unnaturally.
"What's wrong?"
"My brother-in-law is also being pressured by his family to find a partner."
"Look, aren't you two quite destined for each other?" Kang Seulgi said happily. When she heard the news yesterday, she was really thrilled!
These two are really destined to meet. They met, then became landlord and tenant, and were both being pressured by their families to find partners!
"Huh?" Bae Joo-hyun looked bewildered.
"Isn't he only 25? Is he already being pressured?"
At this age, they've just graduated from university and started working for a year or two. Isn't it a bit too early to be pushing them?
"Yes, he said it himself, there's no need for him to joke about this with me."
"But unnie, isn't this a good thing for you two? You're both being pressured, and neither of you is really interested in that kind of thing, so why not pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend? Plus, he's not in the entertainment industry, isn't that perfect?"
Kang Seulgi sat up, put one hand on Bae Joohyun's shoulder, and whispered in her ear like a devil's whisper.
"this……"
Bae Joo-hyun opened her mouth, her wavering eyes revealing that she was indeed somewhat hesitant at this moment.
Although they had only met twice, Ye Fan gave her a very good impression. Moreover, she had just pretended to be his girlfriend in front of her sister, so if her parents or sister came over later, she would still need to trouble him again.
Moreover, as Seulgi said, he is an outsider, which makes it easier to maintain his identity.
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble for him?"
"Besides, he might not be so sure..."
Seeing that her older sister had relented, Kang Seulgi was overjoyed and patted her on the shoulder, "It's not like he's pretending to live with you, it's just something he does occasionally."
"Or you could offer to reduce his rent; he might agree."
Bae Joo-hyun slapped the hand off her shoulder, pursed her lips and frowned. What kind of outrageous things was this guy saying? Living together? How could he even say something like that?
and……
Why are you so concerned about this?
"You're using me for your own amusement, aren't you?" Bae Joo-hyun pinched Kang Seul-gi's round face with her five fingers forming a claw.
"No, unnie, I'm just trying to help you think of a solution..."
Still looking for a solution?
Bae Joo-hyun sneered. Now that her sister had gone back to work and the matter with their parents had been temporarily covered up, Seulgi was still acting like a director and screenwriter, offering all sorts of advice and arranging the process, without even feeling tired.
"Tell the truth."
"Yeah, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. It's quite interesting, and the other person is a nice person. Honestly, I was really thinking of you, unnie." Kang Seulgi raised her hand and blinked her small eyes sincerely.
Bae Joo-hyun let go of Kang Seul-gi's hand and shoved her on the forehead, knocking her down onto the sofa.
"Hehe, unnie, how was it?"
"I……"
Bae Joo-hyun scratched her head and finally passed the buck to Kang Seul-gi. Since it was Kang Seul-gi's idea, she would make the arrangements.
Otherwise, if she had spoken to Ye Fan in private, the scene would have been so awkward it would have made you want to pick your toes!
Kang Seulgi revealed a triumphant smile, patting her chest. "Don't worry about it, leave it to me!"
