Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Kang Seulgi's message brought Son Seungwan and the other two to the forefront.

Son Seung-wan: "We're watching TV. What kind of meeting is this?"

Park Soo-young: "We just had a couple of drinks. Is something wrong?"

Kim Ye-rin: "Surfing the internet."

Bae Joo-hyun: ...

Kang Seulgi: "Of course it's about my brother-in-law and unnie."

"About your brother-in-law and unnie?"

With juicy gossip to share, Son Seung-wan and the other two became more active, replying to messages much faster.

"Did my brother-in-law and unnie get together?"

"Wow, congratulations on finding your other half, unnie! Now you're really my brother-in-law, did you kiss me?"

"Then unnie has to treat us to a meal. Shouldn't we have a formal meeting?"

Bae Joo-hyun's lips twitched. She tapped the keyboard and typed a message in reply: "We're not together yet..."

Kang Seulgi also sent a voice message to the group, explaining the situation.

"It's incredible that my brother-in-law could resist my sister's temptation. He has such strong willpower."

Bae Joo-hyun sent two knocking emojis, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by 'my temptation'? It sounds so weird!"

Kim Ye-rin: "Hmm, it seems that my brother-in-law is indeed very self-controlled. If I were my brother-in-law, I would have kissed him right away and confirmed our relationship with him when I had such a good opportunity."

Park Soo-young: "If you were my brother-in-law, my unnie definitely wouldn't fall for you."

Kang Seulgi: "Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's analyze what your brother-in-law is thinking."

As the only member of the group to be in a relationship, Park Soo-young was the first to share her analysis: "It's simple. My brother-in-law said he doesn't know how to manage a relationship, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings for you, he's just hesitant to pursue you."

"He's scared. Having feelings for someone and being together are two different things. When you like someone, you see only their good qualities. But after you get to know them better, things might not be the same."

"I feel that my brother-in-law is also a rational person, and he thinks things through more. For example, our work requires us to travel around, and there are quite a few scandals in the industry. Since we're in different circles, maybe he's afraid of being dumped by his girlfriend after developing feelings for her?"

"So, I think if I want to win over my brother-in-law, I need to firmly choose him and let him see that I'm sincere..."

Park Soo-young posted a long analysis, and the group chat paused for a moment as everyone watched her analysis.

When they met before, they asked Ye Fan about his views on relationships. Considering that his colleagues had been involved in such situations recently, he didn't engage in any ambiguous relationships and clearly rejected them, and there was also his conversation with his girlfriend just now, it's clear that he takes relationships very seriously.

Such people generally don't easily start a romantic relationship.

"Not bad, Joy. Your analysis is very insightful." Director Kang Seul-gi was the first to send a compliment.

"Haha, that's right, I have a boyfriend."

As one of the main participants in the discussion, Bae Joo-hyun did not reply, but nodded repeatedly as she looked at Park Soo-young's analysis.

He takes relationships very seriously...

I take relationships very seriously, okay? A steadfast choice, right?

"Ahhh..."

Ye Fan sneezed twice, touched his nose, and pulled his coat tighter around himself.

"Could it be that he caught a cold?"

I quickened my pace a bit; I needed to get home quickly and get a cup of hot water.

On Ye Fan's way home, the meeting about him continued in Red Velvet's group chat, with Bae Joo-hyun's four advisors continuing to give her advice.

Kim Ye-rin's method is rather simple and direct: once they arrive in Jeju Island, they'll kiss directly, and intimate physical contact will make it easier to seduce someone.

But the idea was quickly rejected by others; doing it too quickly might backfire.

Park Soo-young's suggestion was to share more about her daily life, show that she wanted to continue communicating with him, and let him know what she usually did and share her life.

With Joo-hee, who is unaware of the situation, on this trip, they can take advantage of their fake relationship to have some physical contact occasionally, such as holding hands or putting their arms around each other. The tug-of-war during the ambiguous period is what makes it so exciting.

This method was agreed upon by Son Seung-wan, Kang Seul-gi, and Bae Joo-hyun.

"I'm home now."

A message pop-up from Ye Fan appeared at the top of the screen. Bae Joo-hyun glanced at it, clicked on it, and the screen switched to her chat page with Ye Fan.

"It's been almost half an hour, how long did it take you to get home?" Bae Joo-hyun quickly typed a reply.

"Two or three kilometers, not very far, I walked back." Ye Fan replied to the message quickly.

"It's so cold, you actually walked back home. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" (slaps)

"I can't help it, the conversation just now was too heated, I need to calm myself down, I'm going to take a shower first."

"Okay, hurry up and go, don't catch a cold."

Putting down his phone, Ye Fan grabbed his pajamas and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Ye Fan crawled into bed and sent a message to Bae Joo-hyun.

"Seulgi is right."

"Let's continue this relationship for now. We're practically a couple, aren't we?"

Ye Fan couldn't fall asleep, his mind filled with Bae Joo-hyun's smiling eyes and words.

I'm having a bit of a headache, but I don't know who to talk to. It's not good to talk about Bae Joo-hyun's identity. And if I tell my friends that a female celebrity has a crush on me, they'll search for pictures of her and when they find out, they'll definitely say I'm daydreaming. I don't know what they'll say about me.

Forget it.

Mom and Dad...

I can't say either of these things; saying them would only make things worse.

Moreover, Ye Fan could roughly guess what they were saying.

If you get together and then bring the child home for the New Year, the conversation will definitely gravitate towards that topic.

I tossed and turned in bed, and finally I don't know when I fell asleep.

I was listless at work the next day.

"Hey, what's wrong, Your Majesty? Your cultivation and energy have been drained?" He Zhonglei nudged Ye Fan's waist and raised an eyebrow at him.

This guy just announced he had a girlfriend, and he's already acting all weak and timid. It's not hard to guess what he did.

"Even if you're beautiful, you should still act within your means. I have some goji berries; I'll bring some to you tomorrow."

"Get lost, that's not it. I just didn't sleep well last night." Ye Fan slapped his hand away and rolled his eyes at the guy. He was a decent person.

"I understand, I understand."

He Zhonglei patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, but his mocking smile showed that he didn't believe him at all.

Ye Fan was speechless and too lazy to pay him any more attention.

With a ding, the phone on the desktop lit up. Ye Fan unlocked it and glanced at it. It was a good morning greeting from Bae Joo-hyun, followed by a cute emoji.

Ye Fan replied with an early message and a tired expression.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No, I was thinking about things for a long time, and I don't even know when I fell asleep."

"What are you thinking about that's keeping you awake?"

"you."

P.S.: I'm running out of time, so I'll just post two chapters for now. Believe me, you don't need a reason to believe.
