Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Bae Joo-hyun sat obediently with her legs together and her hands on her lap. The car was dimly lit, and she glanced at Ye Fan's profile, noticing that he had his brows slightly furrowed, as if he were pondering some difficult problem.

The driver didn't play any music in the car, so the interior was quiet and the atmosphere was somewhat subdued.

Didn't you say you were going to talk to yourself?

After Ye Fan and Seulgi returned from their trip, Ye Fan seemed a bit off, absent-minded and preoccupied.

She wanted to send a message to Seulgi to ask what had happened and what she and Ye Fan had talked about, but she was almost home now.

On the other side, Ye Fan also glanced at Bae Joo-hyun, his mind filled with Kang Seul-gi's words.

If he didn't know, that would be fine, but now that he does, he can't keep pretending anymore.

The car arrived at the entrance of the residential area. Bae Joo-hyun was about to pay, but Ye Fan had already paid.

"Want to go for a walk?" Ye Fan extended an invitation.

"Um."

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, and the two opened the car door and got out. They wandered around the neighborhood. It was only around 10 a.m., and there were still many couples shopping, couples with children, and people walking their dogs on the street.

"What did you and Seulgi talk about? You seemed distracted towards the end," Bae Joo-hyun broke the silence.

"Emmm..."

Turning to look at Bae Joo-hyun, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then scratched his face somewhat embarrassedly. Saying such things to her face was indeed a bit awkward.

"She said, she said you have feelings for me."

Bae Joo-hyun stopped and blinked her big eyes at the somewhat embarrassed boy beside her.

Ye Fan was touching his nose, avoiding her gaze, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Bae Joo-hyun curled the corners of her lips; he looked quite cute like this.

But why did Seulgi just expose it directly?

"How did you two end up talking about this?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't rush to answer.

"Because of this trip, I felt it was her idea, and she ignored my attempts to signal her to help."

"Right now, in your sister Joo-hee's eyes, we're a couple. If we go on a trip together and need to stay overnight, shouldn't we be sharing a room?"

"So I asked her why she came up with this idea, and she just told me directly."

Once the conversation started, Ye Fan's heart, which had been pounding with nervousness, gradually calmed down.

"Oh~"

"I see." Bae Joo-hyun nodded. Now she understood what had happened and why Ye Fan had been in such a hurry to take Seulgi out for questioning. It turned out it was because of this.

The reason he came back absent-minded was probably because Seulgi told him that she had feelings for him.

"So what do you think?" Bae Joo-hyun stopped and looked at Ye Fan with a smile in her eyes.

Her heart was racing, but after changing her mindset and getting to know Ye Fan, Bae Joo-hyun relaxed and adopted the poise and composure of someone who had been in the industry for many years.

Having worked for a long time and being so much older than Ye Fan, she would definitely have the upper hand.

Moreover, she knew that Ye Fan wasn't as outgoing as he seemed on the surface; he was actually a bit of a repressed pervert.

"I?"

Ye Fan pointed to himself, somewhat incoherently saying, "Why are you throwing the problem at me again?"

In this situation, shouldn't Bae Joo-hyun be the one to answer?

Having been single for too long, Ye Fan could flirt online, but face-to-face... he was still a little at a loss.

"Of course we have to ask you what you think, whether you believe it or not?" Bae Joo-hyun continued to tease Ye Fan, finding his helpless expression quite amusing.

Ye Fan gave a wry smile, knowing that Bae Joo-hyun was not that simple; she really was the older sister.

If you pose this question to him and he says yes, you'll actually feel a little ashamed.

"The important thing isn't whether I believe it or not, the question is whether what Seulgi said is true or false, is it true or not?" Ye Fan's mind raced, and then he threw the question back to Bae Joo-hyun.

Little rascal...

"How about you go first, and I'll go next?" Bae Joo-hyun took another step.

"I don't dare. What if I turn into the Joker? Batman didn't say he wouldn't hit me." Ye Fan also took a step and caught up with Bae Joo-hyun in one stride.

Bae Joo-hyun already knew what "clown" meant from Ye Fan, so she chuckled a few times when she heard this.

After starting the conversation and making a joke, the atmosphere improved considerably, unlike before.

Although they had both been single for a long time, they were no longer young people in their early twenties. They were a little awkward at first when discussing this topic, but they relaxed after a few words.

"How could that be? I'm your girlfriend, your landlady, and your older sister. I would never let Batman hit you." Bae Joo-hyun turned around with her hands behind her back and winked at Ye Fan.

Very playful.

"How about you tell me first, and then I'll give you an answer?"

"Is that okay?" Bae Joo-hyun stopped again, leaned slightly forward towards Ye Fan, and used her tried-and-true eye attack again.

Seeing that he was indeed stunned, Bae Joo-hyun lowered her mask and smiled again. Ye Fan was very susceptible to this.

And with her own bun hairstyle and glasses, it seems she prefers a more innocent and cute style?

"Okay... then."

Ye Fan sighed helplessly. You're pretty, so you're right. Anyway, this topic is unavoidable.

The cold night wind still made people shiver. Ye Fan took a step forward, turned around, and looked at Bae Joo-hyun, saying, "Seulgi spoke very seriously, and her eyes were very sincere. In addition, I feel that your recent state is indeed a bit off."

"so……"

"I think it's true..."

This was something he had been thinking about all along the way. The reason he didn't speak was because he was reflecting on the past, and he had kept it all in mind.

Leaving aside Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan and the others immediately asked about couple-related issues upon meeting, Bae Joo-hyun was drunk and they were even able to leave her at their home without worry, and there were also the organizations' assertion of sovereignty, etc.

After saying that, Ye Fan no longer avoided his gaze and looked directly into Bae Joo-hyun's eyes to see how she would respond.

Bae Joo-hyun was not intimidated and met Ye Fan's gaze.

Under Ye Fan's anxious gaze, Bae Joo-hyun nodded slightly.

Ye Fan raised an eyebrow, his heart pounding again. This nod seemed to confirm Seulgi's statement, and also seemed to confirm his own answer just now.

"That's right, Seulgi is right, and your answer is correct too."

Looking into Bae Joo-hyun's resolute eyes, Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat for a second.

"Really...really?"

P.S.: OMG, zzz is so good, I forgot to update for a moment. I'll definitely make up for it tomorrow with five chapters!
