Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

After parking the car in the mall's parking lot, the four of them went into the mall together.

"What dishes are you planning to make?" Looking at the ingredient area not far away, Bae Joo-hyun turned to ask Ye Fan, who was the head chef tonight.

Ye Fan didn't know what to do and was completely clueless. If it were just him and his younger sister, he wouldn't be so particular and could just cook a couple of dishes to get by. But when guests came over, he had to put in more effort.

"Is there anything you'd like to eat?" Ye Fan asked Bae Joo-hyun.

"I don't know either." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head. She didn't know much about Chinese food, so she didn't know what to say.

"Let's take a look around first."

"Um."

Behind the two, Kang Seulgi pulled Ye Xin, who wanted to follow, and said, "Xiao Xin, let's go browse the snack section."

The two of them are getting along so well, I won't disturb them.

Ye Xin understood immediately, and then quietly left with Jiang Seulgi. By the time Ye Fan turned around to ask them what they wanted to eat, they were already gone.

"Just buy whatever you want," Bae Joo-hyun replied, clearly indicating that Seulgi had taken Xiaoxin away.

Seulgi is definitely thinking of some weird ideas again.

"I can't eat much, and Seulgi isn't picky about food either."

"So I understand that means you can improvise."

Ye Fan grabbed a shopping cart and started buying things, planning to make some sweet and sour dishes that the girls would likely enjoy. "Why are you suddenly like this today..."

"You suddenly started cooperating?" Bae Joo-hyun asked with a smile.

Seeing Ye Fan nod, Bae Joo-hyun continued to answer his questions, "I was just thinking that you've been helping me all along, and I've troubled you too much. Besides, although the suggestion to continue pretending to be a couple was made by Seulgi, it was also at my behest, but in the end I didn't get to cooperate much."

"I see. To be honest, when Seulgi came to see me, I was completely stunned. It felt unbelievable."

"Are you scared?"

"No, you wouldn't sell me, would you?" Ye Fan joked.

With a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth beneath the mask, Bae Joo-hyun chuckled softly, "That's not necessarily true."

"So how did you agree to it?"

"Just because the rent was halved?"

"Of course, a 50% rent reduction is very tempting," Ye Fan said matter-of-factly. A reduction of 4000 yuan would be his reward.

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, roughly understanding Ye Fan's thoughts; the rent was indeed quite expensive.

"look."

Ye Fan picked up a cabbage and shook it. Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head, blinked in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Cabbage, isn't your nickname 'Cabbage'?"

Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but smile. "You actually know this? Did Xiaoxin tell you?"

"Yeah, that's what she said yesterday. She said that you, this cabbage, were actually taken by this pig. She was happy but also jealous." Ye Fan nodded and put the cabbage into the cart.

You pig?

Upon hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun immediately burst into laughter. How could anyone talk about their own brother like that?

But Ye Fan, who was standing to the side, frowned when he heard Bae Joo-hyun's laughter. This laughter was quite unique.

Bae Joo-hyun usually speaks in a gentle voice, but when she bursts into laughter, she sounds like an old lady.

Seeing Ye Fan's strange expression, Bae Joo-hyun calmed down a bit. "So, are you taking this cabbage back for tonight's meal?"

Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Ye Fan nodded, "I want to stir-fry cabbage tonight."

"Um?"

This time it was Bae Joo-hyun's turn to have a strange expression. Although it was a very normal sentence, and Ye Fan said it in a serious manner, why did it feel strange?

Behind a shelf not far away, Kang Seulgi and Ye Xin had already bought their snacks and were watching the interaction between the two.

Seeing that the two had started chatting normally, director Kang Seul-gi was very satisfied.

"Seulgi unnie, the two of us look like paparazzi right now," Ye Xin whispered. And why are we peeking?

"Ahem, let's go over there now." After Ye Xin said that, Jiang Seulgi felt a little embarrassed.

Having rejoined the group, Ye Fan had made his selections. He paid at the counter and carried his bags of groceries and snacks back to his car.

After spending the day together, the atmosphere between Bae Joo-hyun and Ye Fan was no longer as awkward as before.

Fortunately, the shopping trip didn't take long, and the traffic wasn't too bad on the way back. After bringing the groceries back to the rented apartment, Ye Fan carried the bags of groceries into the kitchen and told the three girls to go to the living room to watch TV for a while.

Seeing the live streaming equipment on Ye Fan's computer desk and the guitar placed to the side, Bae Joo-hyun's curiosity was rekindled, and she asked Ye Xin beside her.

"Did you know your brother was livestreaming?"

Ye Xin shook her head. "I only found out last night."

If she hadn't come here, she wouldn't have known that her brother was a live streamer, mainly because she hadn't followed or seen either of their accounts.

"Your brother even kept it from you?" Bae Joo-hyun was astonished. He was so cautious that he even kept it from his own sister.

"Yes, neither my brother's nor my account follows him, and I haven't seen him on my feed. Sister-in-law, you're asking this, don't you know either?"

"I don't know. I asked, but your brother didn't tell me. I thought you knew, so I wanted to ask you."

Kang Seulgi leaned closer and asked curiously, "Isn't the computer right there? Xiaoxin, didn't you turn it on and look at it?"

"No, my brother's computer is password protected."

Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi: ...

Ye Fan is really good at hiding his true intentions; he even guards against his family.

Hearing Bae Joo-hyun ask this, Ye Xin knew what she wanted to do. She pointed to herself and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll get you some information if I get the chance."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Leave it to me."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, then got up and walked to the kitchen. Standing at the door, she saw Ye Fan preparing the ingredients in an orderly manner.

After hearing Ye Xin's answer, Bae Joo-hyun became even more curious about Ye Fan.

When we met at the rented apartment, I thought he was a rather introverted person, but when we pretended to be a couple, I found him to be very talkative. I thought I was wrong, but after hearing his sister's explanation, I realized I was right.

She doesn't talk much about her work to her family, and she has social anxiety, but she can chat with people she's just met, which surprises and contradicts Bae Joo-hyun.

His personality seems perfect for debuting.

After preparing the ingredients, Ye Fan was about to start cooking when he noticed someone behind him. He turned around and saw Bae Joo-hyun staring intently at him. "What's wrong?"

"No... just curious to take a look." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head and quickly replied.

"What dish are you going to make now?"

"You'll find out soon enough about the dish I'm going to make for you."

"For me?"
