Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

At the school gate, Ye Fan, who was leaving get off work, said goodbye to the students who were leaving school, but he was surrounded mostly by female students.

In a Volkswagen SUV parked by the roadside, Kang Seulgi looked at the women surrounding her "brother-in-law" and thought, "Unnie has quite a few rivals."

"goodbye teacher."

"Goodbye, take care on your journey." Ye Fan waved goodbye to the students.

"Another day has passed." Ye Fan put his hands on his hips, looking a little tired, and glanced back at the institution's entrance.

"They even asked me why I don't date?"

"Every day, work drains my energy, and I'm left exhausted just to collect that meager salary." Ye Fan sighed, thankfully he didn't have to work overtime.

Otherwise, even if you work overtime a lot, you won't earn much salary.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice called out "Brother-in-law" came from the side of the road. Ye Fan turned his head and saw the window of the SUV parked on the side of the road slowly rolling down.

Looking into the other person's small eyes, Ye Fan immediately recognized them.

"Kang Seulgi?"

"What are you doing here?" Ye Fan walked to the car. "Is one of your friends studying here?"

"No, I came here specifically to find you."

"Looking for me?"

"Get in the car first."

Ye Fan, looking bewildered, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. "If you needed anything, you could have just sent a message. Why did you suddenly come to see me? Aren't you afraid of being photographed and having rumors spread?"

"Of course I've come to talk to you face-to-face. I'm here with a mission." Kang Seulgi waved her hand, telling him not to worry about the rumors. They've been in the industry for almost ten years, and now the paparazzi are mostly targeting the newcomers.

"A mission?" Ye Fan was completely confused and couldn't keep up with Kang Seulgi's pace.

"Fasten your seatbelt first."

Ye Fan did as instructed, and once the seatbelt was fastened, Jiang Seulgi started the car.

"You're alright after that, aren't you?"

"no."

"Let's find somewhere to get something to eat first. You probably haven't had dinner yet either."

They returned to the same barbecue restaurant where Ye Fan had eaten when he first arrived in Seoul. After finding a corner seat and ordering, Ye Fan turned to Kang Seulgi and asked, "Now you can tell me, right? What was that mission you were talking about?"

Kang Seulgi rested her chin on her hand and said, word by word, "Pretend to be a couple."

"Huh?" Ye Fan looked bewildered. "You have a younger sister coming too?"

"It wasn't me, it was my unnie."

"Bae Joo-hyun?"

Ye Fan was even more confused. Hadn't he already pretended? And why was it Kang Seulgi who was bringing this up?

"I know you're confused, but don't worry, here's what happened..." Kang Seulgi took a sip of water and explained to Ye Fan.

"My sister is a bit shy and embarrassed to talk to you about this, so she had to ask me, her younger sister, to do it for her."

Ye Fan understood; the act had to continue. If Bae Joo-hyun's sister came again, he would continue to play along.

"I have a question..."

"Unnie said the rent will be halved."

"No problem."

When it came to such a big deal as halving the rent, Ye Fan was completely sincere, and it was just an act when her sister appeared.

"But I'm curious, why doesn't she find someone real?"

"It's not easy to find her. So many big things have happened in the industry, and we've heard so much gossip. Unnie is already shy, and after knowing all that, how could she dare to do it?" Kang Seulgi sighed.

"What melon?" Ye Fan asked, intrigued.

Kang Seulgi lowered her voice, "I'm telling you..."

Next came the gossip. The two stopped talking tacitly when the waiter brought out the dishes, and then continued their gossip while grilling the meat after the dishes were served.

"I see..."

Hearing so much gossip, Ye Fan was greatly shocked, as it was all stuff he didn't know before, so he listened with great interest.

To put it simply, many celebrities in the industry who present a great image on screen are actually quite different in private, engaging in domestic violence, infidelity, harassment, and so on, both men and women.

Then there were many male celebrities with bad character, and many seniors in the industry reminded them to stay away from men. In addition, they saw and heard about these things when they first started their careers, so they always kept their distance.

"With a landlady that's so beautiful, she must have a lot of male celebrities pursuing her, right?"

"Yes, but I haven't paid any attention to it. In the past few years since my debut, I've worked with some male celebrities on screen, but it's all for work. I don't have much contact with them in private," Kang Seulgi replied.

Over the years, many fans have shipped her with other male celebrities, but none of it was real, and she knows that better than anyone.

"However, unnie has a very good opinion of you. Although it's just to pretend to be a couple, you can still pursue her if you really want to. If you succeed, you won't have to pay rent anymore." Kang Seulgi grinned and raised an eyebrow at Ye Fan.

"Don't joke around. 'Good review' is just a friend rejection. How could she possibly be interested in me?" Ye Fan quickly shook his head, not getting carried away by the compliment, and remained clear-headed.

"You're really being modest." Kang Seulgi pursed her lips slightly. One of them was being tsundere, thinking the age gap was too big, while the other was being too modest and lacking confidence.

But it's even more interesting and challenging now!

If these two really get together, wow, that would be really interesting! The number one matchmaker in the entertainment industry!

Okay~ then it must be me, Seulgi!

"Didn't you say your family is pressuring you to find a partner? Of course, I can help you deal with that."

"Let's forget about this." Ye Fan made an X. If his parents found out that he was dating a beautiful female celebrity, they would have a real headache.

Not to mention his sister who's a fan of celebrities; if she found out, he'd be in big trouble. So he'd better keep this a secret and just play the role one-sidedly.

Kang Seulgi shrugged and said no more, then asked some questions about Ye Fan.

After finishing their meal and dropping Ye Fan off at his apartment complex, Kang Seulgi immediately went to Bae Joo-hyun's house to report the situation.

As soon as the door opened, Kang Seulgi picked up a bag containing drinks and snacks, "Hi unnie, mission accomplished!"

"What did he say?"

"What did you two talk about this time?"

"You didn't say anything else, did you?"

Upon entering the living room, while Kang Seulgi was setting out snacks and drinks, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't wait to inquire about the situation.

Kang Seulgi opened two bottles of wine, placing one in Bae Joohyun's hand while taking a sip of her own. She didn't answer, but instead looked at the anxious Bae Joohyun with a playful expression.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and tell me!" Bae Joo-hyun said, somewhat annoyed. Why keep me in suspense?

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush." ​​Kang Seulgi gestured for her older sister to calm down.

"As I said when I came in, the mission was successfully completed, and he agreed."

"I see..." Bae Joo-hyun breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason.

"Unnie, you seemed really anxious just now?"

"What, are you afraid your brother-in-law won't agree?" Kang Seulgi teased, her smile almost reaching her ears.

"I...I feel embarrassed." Bae Joo-hyun picked up her drink and took a sip.

Kang Seulgi pouted and muttered under her breath, "Tch, such a tsundere."

"What did you just say?"
