Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Ye Fan: ...

Seeing Bae Joo-hyun's playful expression, Ye Fan quickly turned his head away. "You're quite smug, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry," Bae Joo-hyun chuckled.

"Have you been very busy lately?"

"Not too busy, just regular get off work hours, and continuing to manage my account, just like always."

"You seem to be replying to messages much less frequently now. Is it because you have a girl you're interested in, or are there just too many people you need to reply to?" Bae Joo-hyun propped her head up with her hand, her bright eyes fixed on Ye Fan's expression.

Although she asked with a smile, Ye Fan didn't sense that Bae Joo-hyun was joking; on the contrary, he felt a sense of pressure.

Jealous?

No, no, no, if that's what he thinks, he'll be applying for a job at the circus soon.

"No, it was just a nightmare." Ye Fan avoided Bae Joo-hyun's gaze.

"Nightmare?"

Ye Fan nodded, took out his phone, found Yanzi's video on Douyin, and put the screen in front of Bae Joo-hyun.

"That's the content of this video."

Bae Joo-hyun looked down. She didn't understand Chinese, but judging from the content, it seemed to be a breakup scene from a movie or TV show.

"What are the lines?"

Ye Fan translated it for her, and Bae Joo-hyun understood. It was indeed a breakup scene. But what did this have to do with Ye Fan's nightmare? She turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

"You're the one who got into the car, I'm the one chasing after it, and the driver is Seulgi. Isn't that a nightmare?" Ye Fan explained.

"Huh?" Bae Joo-hyun felt a bit ridiculous. Seulgi was involved too?

However, if you put those three people in the picture, and then add the lines that Ye Fan just translated...

Bae Joo-hyun covered her mouth and chuckled. There were too many people, so she was embarrassed to laugh too loudly, but her shoulders still couldn't stop shaking. Just thinking about it made her want to laugh.

Reaching out, Bae Joo-hyun patted Ye Fan's shoulder, laughing uncontrollably. "How could you have such a dream? It's hilarious."

Meanwhile, the other five people were resting their chins on their hands, looking at the two of them with mocking expressions.

From the moment they sat down, the two of them leaned close and whispered to each other. Then Bae Joo-hyun laughed happily and even made physical contact with Bae Joo-hyun.

Kang Seulgi turned to look at Son Seungwan and the other two, raising an eyebrow at them.

Although it's fake now, things might change if it continues to develop.

Upon receiving the signal, Son Seung-wan and the other two smiled and nodded. It was indeed possible. The unnie, known as the Iron Wall Woman, didn't seem to mind this man, which meant there was a chance.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. She's in her early thirties and still single. Maybe her soulmate has finally arrived?

Although the age difference is small, the other person is indeed as Seulgi said, with a great appearance, natural handsomeness, and a bit of a roguish charm.

"I don't know either. I was running and then I woke up in a fright." Ye Fan shrugged. He didn't know why he had such a dream.

"So that's why?"

"Pretty much. Relationships usually start with curiosity, then progress through frequent daily chats to get to know each other and gradually develop feelings for one another."

"You're afraid..." Bae Joo-hyun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?

"I'm afraid of having a role in the circus."

"Um?"

As her heartbeat returned to normal, Bae Joo-hyun was somewhat confused. What did this have to do with the circus?

"Because chatting too frequently can create a dependency, and I'm afraid I'll overthink things and develop inappropriate ideas. That would make me look like a clown, like I'm going to perform in a circus," Ye Fan explained jokingly.

Being single for too long can easily lead to dependency if you chat with someone of the opposite sex too frequently, especially when the other person is someone as beautiful as Bae Joo-hyun. Therefore, Ye Fan needs to restrain himself, not only with Bae Joo-hyun but also with others.

"Oh, I see..." Bae Joo-hyun understood what Ye Fan meant. One question was answered, but a new one arose.

"Brother-in-law."

Bae Joo-hyun wanted to ask something more, but then Seungwan interrupted and called out to Ye Fan.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Ye Fan turned to look at Sun Shengwan, but he quickly noticed the key point. Didn't she already know the details? Why was she calling him "brother-in-law"?

Another Seulgi?

"I heard from Unnie that you're here to work. How long will you be working here?" Son Seungwan began to probe for information.

"I don't know yet." Ye Fan shook his head. Who can say for sure about work? He's not in the three loan companies now, nor is he a loan prodigy. He won't be tied down to one job. If he's unhappy with this job, he'll definitely switch jobs.

"So, does that mean my brother-in-law is going back to Korea?" Park Soo-young immediately chimed in.

"Yes, I'll definitely go back to China." Ye Fan nodded. He was just sent here for work, not to be stationed here permanently, so he would definitely go back.

"So, if you marry your sister, will your brother-in-law live here, or will your sister move to China?"

The last one, Kim Ye-rin, was even more formidable, leaving Ye Fan completely stumped by her questions.

Hey sis, what are you doing?

Ye Fan looked at the smiling Jin Yilin with a strange expression. "Don't you know the situation? Why are you asking this kind of question?"

What's wrong with this woman?

Even while asking Ye Xin how to download software, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but look up at the youngest member of the team.

But Kang Seulgi held her nerve; she's truly Yerin.

"Hasn't your brother-in-law ever thought about marrying you, unnie?" Kim Ye-rin pressed.

"Of course I've thought about that. I take relationships seriously, and naturally I want to go all the way." Ye Fan quickly adjusted himself and began to deal with these questions.

"However, we've only been together for a short time and are still in the process of getting to know each other. It's too early to ask this question. Besides, I don't have much power right now, and I'm not a good match for Irene's status."

Kim Ye-rin's lips curled into a smirk. "You don't call me 'older sister' when you're younger? You've got some wild thoughts."

"I see. As long as brother-in-law is thinking about marrying unnie, that's fine. He can't just play with her feelings, or we'll all stand up for unnie," Kim Ye-rin said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's right, you have to be good to our unnie." Son Seungwan and Park Sooyoung also suppressed their laughter. Yerin really knows how to set the pace. They had only run one meter, but Yerin had already run fifty meters.

What else could Ye Fan say? He just chuckled and winked at Jiang Seulgi, asking her what was going on, but Jiang Seulgi only gave him a helpless expression.

Grass!

"Unnie, that's what my brother-in-law said, so are you concerned about his financial situation?"

Just as Ye Fan was about to respond, Kim Ye-rin stopped asking and turned to ask Bae Joo-hyun.

Ye Xin blinked, completely bewildered. What was going on tonight? Had they gotten straight to discussing marriage?

"This..." Bae Joo-hyun glanced at Ye Fan.

"I don't mind. I'm not unemployed and I don't have any financial pressure."

Kim Ye-rin's smile widened as she turned to look at Ye Fan, "Brother-in-law, that's what Unnie said."
