Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

"Yes, I stole a kiss from my girlfriend," Ye Fan said with a mischievous grin.

Bae Joo-hyun blinked and subconsciously touched her lips, but after seeing Ye Fan's mischievous smile, she realized that this guy was joking with her.

She lifted her short legs from under the table and stepped on Ye Fan's instep. How could she be teased by a seven-year-old boy younger than her?

"Since you say she's your girlfriend, why did you steal a kiss?" Bae Joo-hyun remained calm and countered Ye Fan's question.

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow. Instead of panicking and questioning me, he attacked me.

There's something there.

"because……"

Ye Fan's mind raced, but in the end he sighed and gave in, "Okay, I was just kidding. You should drink less alcohol when you go out in the future. You're so beautiful, not everyone can be a gentleman like me."

I'd better not make any more frivolous remarks.

Bae Joo-hyun pouted. She gave up so easily. It was all just talk. She can say so many flirtatious things to those foreign girls online, but she doesn't dare to say them in front of her.

He's such an innocent young man.

"Of course I know that." Bae Joo-hyun took another sip of porridge. No other man could make her feel as at ease as he did.

"You still haven't told me if I did anything strange last night."

"I didn't do anything strange. You were so drunk, what could you possibly do?" Ye Fan replied.

"Oh~"

After this topic was discussed, the dining table fell into a brief silence. Bae Joo-hyun glanced at him twice, feeling a sense of peace and warmth welling up inside her.

Remembering what Ye Fan said last night, Bae Joo-hyun asked, "You're quite popular, why don't you want to date?"

Xiao Xin told her that Ye Fan had only dated once during college, and hadn't been in a relationship since, having been single for three years.

Judging from last night's events, Ye Fan seems quite popular; he must have quite a few girls pursuing him.

"Didn't I explain this once before?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled. He remembered that he had already explained it once.

"Would you like to hear more details?"

"The reasons are complicated, a bit of everything..." Ye Fan thought for a moment.

"for example?"

"Being dumped, being disliked, and wasting time and energy—basically, I'm just afraid of trouble." Ye Fan sighed. Love these days isn't as pure as it used to be; online, people are even exchanging magical attacks.

Bae Joo-hyun pondered for a moment, then summarized Ye Fan's words in two words: "Scared?"

"Yeah, more or less." Ye Fan nodded. Although he felt envious and wanted to have sweet romances when he saw them online, he was mostly afraid.

It's more interesting to watch other people date.

"Aren't you the same as me?" Ye Fan said, looking at Bae Joo-hyun with a smile. He had heard this from Kang Seul-gi.

"I also have professional reasons to be curious about you." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head. She had a dating contract before, and after the contract ended, many scandals broke out in the industry, so she was naturally afraid.

"Anyway, we're about the same."

After breakfast, Bae Joo-hyun took over the task of washing the dishes, and Ye Fan let her do it.

After washing the dishes, Bae Joo-hyun put away her phone and other belongings, slung her bag over her shoulder, and headed home. She hadn't showered last night, and she could still smell the alcohol on her.

After putting on his hat and saying goodbye to Ye Fan, he went out.

"Phew~"

Once Bae Joo-hyun left, Ye Fan breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and went back to his room for a nap.

Back home, she had just finished showering and changing her clothes when Kang Seulgi and Park Sooyoung arrived.

"You two got here way too fast!" Bae Joo-hyun complained to her two younger sisters. They had only been replying to messages for half an hour, and they were already here.

"Unnie, how can we sit still? Of course we have to come over right away!" Kang Seulgi walked into the living room, sat down on the sofa, picked up a small cookie, and started gossiping.

"How's it going, unnie? Any progress?" Park Soo-young chimed in with her gossip.

"What's the progress? I just woke up, had breakfast, and came back." Bae Joo-hyun dried her hair and sat down on the sofa.

Park Soo-young moved closer, flanking Bae Joo-hyun with Kang Seul-gi on either side.

"Want some breakfast?"

"What kind of breakfast?" Kang Seulgi noticed something interesting.

Bae Joo-hyun didn't hide anything and recounted what happened that morning. Seeing the smile on her lips as she talked about it, Kang Seul-gi and Park Soo-young exchanged a teasing glance.

Indeed, it's quite interesting to watch others fall in love.

"I'm so happy, unnie! I can wake up and have my brother-in-law's loving breakfast. Sigh, unlike me, I can only drink water when I wake up and then cook some ramen for myself. It's so empty, lonely and cold~" Kang Seulgi hugged herself and sighed with a look of melancholy.

"Yeah, I've never experienced any of this before. Guys who can cook are definitely great." Park Soo-young nodded in agreement. She had tried her brother-in-law's cooking yesterday, and it was really good.

She's never experienced anything like this since she started dating her boyfriend.

Bae Joo-hyun tapped Kang Seul-gi's head, but the smile on her face remained.

"So, unnie, what do you think of my suggestion from before?"

"What suggestion?"

"It's like going to your brother-in-law's organization to assert your dominance. Didn't you see how aggressive your brother-in-law's colleague was yesterday? She was wearing a floral dress with a low neckline, trying to get her drunk and then stay overnight at your brother-in-law's house. If your brother-in-law weren't that kind of person, they would have already slept together," Kang Seulgi explained to Bae Joo-hyun.

Yesterday, after analyzing the situation, she understood her colleague's intentions. The advances were unusually fierce and proactive.

"Yes, I agree with that." Park Soo-young nodded, confirming Kang Seul-gi's guess.

"He already rejected her," Bae Joo-hyun said. Ye Fan had already said he wasn't interested in her, otherwise he wouldn't have sent her back.

Kang Seulgi shook her finger. "She didn't confess to my brother-in-law, and he didn't explicitly reject her either. Besides, she works at the same organization as him, so they spend more time together. It's much easier for a girl to pursue a boy than for a boy to pursue a girl."

"Yeah, unnie, I think you should seriously consider it. If you meet a good man, just go for it," Park Soo-young chimed in. Seulgi unnie had given her this suggestion on the way here, and she thought it was a great idea.

By directly asserting sovereignty, those girls with ulterior motives will no longer have designs on their brother-in-law.

The same principle applies to both men and women. If they know that the person they like is in a relationship, they will hesitate to pursue them and will not disturb their relationship.

"Emmm..."

Seeing her older sister deep in thought, Kang Seulgi waved her hand, "Hey unnie, don't force yourself. After your behavior yesterday, it was obvious that you had a crush on your brother-in-law. You should be more sincere."

Bae Joo-hyun: ...
