"I?"

Seeing that Ye Fan only replied with the word "you," Bae Joo-hyun blinked, her lips curving upwards again, and typed back, "So you couldn't sleep last night because you were thinking about me?"

Last night, Bae Joo-hyun told Ye Fan that she had feelings for him. After the analysis by the four strategists, including Seulgi, Bae Joo-hyun now understood Ye Fan's thoughts. Hearing Ye Fan say that he missed her felt like eating a dessert, making her feel happy.

"Well, it's not that kind of thinking, but it's related to you, like what we talked about last night. It disturbed my dreams, and I don't even know when I fell asleep."

"That still concerns me, doesn't it?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't care about Ye Fan's explanation.

Yes, it's cold today, but the sun is out, so the weather is nice.

"That's not wrong."

"Your Majesty, are you going back home for your annual leave?"

While replying to Bae Joo-hyun's message, Ye Fan put down his phone upon hearing He Zhonglei's question.

Their organization offers a fairly long annual leave, a whole month.

"It's still almost two months before the holiday starts. Isn't it a bit too early for you to ask?" Ye Fan replied. It's only mid-November now, and the annual leave won't start until mid-January.

"You have a girlfriend now, so of course I have to ask beforehand." He Zhonglei waved his hand. If Ye Fan didn't have a girlfriend, he would definitely ask a few days before the New Year's holiday, but the situation is different now that he has a girlfriend.

With such a long annual leave, and having just started dating a girlfriend, I'm definitely thinking about going out and having fun with her.

A month is a long time for a couple who have just started dating and are in the honeymoon phase. It's hard to go a week without seeing each other, let alone a month, especially a long-distance relationship.

Moreover, few people who work away from home go back for the Lunar New Year because it's too much trouble to travel back and forth. Plus, the Lunar New Year has lost much of its festive atmosphere these days. If they go back, they'll definitely be asked about their work and girlfriends, just like he was.

I'm 29 and still single; my family is practically hiring a professional groomer to come and get me married.

"I don't know." Ye Fan shook his head. It was too early now, and he didn't know whether to go back or not. Since he started working, the only joy the New Year brought him was the long holiday.

"Looks like you're taking your girlfriend out for fun."

"No, he's probably staying in his rented apartment." Ye Fan shook his head. What's the point of going out to play in this cold weather? It's better to stay at home by himself.

With a month-long holiday, especially during the winter and New Year holidays, the traffic is so high, it's a perfect time to do live streaming and gain more followers.

"Are you staying in a rented apartment?"

"With your girlfriend?"

"Own."

"Why?" He Zhonglei asked, puzzled. This answer confused him. During the honeymoon phase and on holiday, shouldn't he be spending time with his girlfriend, or at least taking her home for the New Year?

"Sigh, the situation is a bit complicated." Ye Fan leaned back, rubbed his temples, and sighed, not wanting to continue the topic.

After last night's meeting and discussion at SM Entertainment, Son Seungwan and the other two finished their gossip. Naturally, when they saw this older sister the next day, they would tease and joke with her.

The fact that they've already held a meeting to discuss it means this woman is serious.

"Unnie, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did you chat with your brother-in-law last night? How did it go?" As soon as Kim Yerin saw Bae Joo-hyun, she immediately came over, put her arm around her, and affectionately nuzzled against her older sister.

"Nothing much has progressed, we're just continuing our normal chat," Bae Joo-hyun said, flicking her younger sister's forehead.

This younger sister keeps coming up with terrible ideas, and she even kissed me on the lips. How could she say something like that? It's completely unreliable.

"Normal chatting?!"

"This doesn't make sense either." Kim Ye-rin was a little troubled. They had already made their relationship clear. Even though they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship, they were at the stage where they knew each other's feelings. They should be in the ambiguous stage, and they should be able to chat more freely.

"That trick of yours doesn't work for everyone, okay?" Park Soo-young walked over and put her arm around Bae Joo-hyun's other arm. When it comes to love, you have to listen to her, the one who helped you find a partner.

"Seulgi, didn't you book the plane tickets and rooms? What are your plans?"

Son Seung-wan and Kang Seul-gi did not go up to join in the fun.

"Hehe, just wait and see what I do then." Kang Seulgi smiled wickedly, not about to tell him so soon.

The next afternoon, before he even got off work, Ye Fan received messages from Bae Joo-hyun and the other two.

After packing her luggage at home, she only took a backpack containing clothes from the past two days and traveled light. Kang Seulgi's car was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area.

"Brother-in-law, get in the car, get in the car." Pei Zhuxi rolled down the car window and waved to Ye Fan.

Kang Seulgi was still the driver, Bae Joo-hee was in the passenger seat, and the back seats were naturally reserved for Bae Joo-hyun and Ye Fan.

Ye Fan nodded in response and habitually walked to the back seat. As soon as he opened the car door, he saw Bae Joo-hyun waving her little hand at him.

She wore a white turtleneck sweater with a beige coat, a black plaid beret, and glasses.

Ye Fan paused for a moment, nodded to Bae Joo-hyun, and then sat down.

Wearing glasses again? That's so unfair!

Bae Joo-hyun covered her mouth and smiled. It seemed that Ye Fan really fell for this, she had accurately grasped what Ye Fan liked.

"Brother-in-law, you can put the bag in the trunk," Kang Seulgi said, turning around.

"It's okay, I can carry it. The airport isn't that far." Ye Fan waved his hand. His bag wasn't big, so he could just put it on his lap or feet.

"I'm driving now."

"Um."

The car started slowly and soon merged into the traffic. It was rush hour, and the roads were still a bit congested.

It took more than half an hour to arrive at the airport. By the time Kang Seulgi found a parking space and parked her car, it was already dark.

Ye Fan slung his bag over his shoulder and naturally took the luggage from Bae Joo-hyun's hands.

Airports are crowded and paparazzi are often lurking around, so Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi need to be on guard.

They took out masks from their pockets and put them on before walking together into the lobby.

The flight was scheduled to depart at 9:30, so they had an hour and a half to go. After checking in, the four of them found seats and waited. All three of them could bring their suitcases on board without checking them in, and Ye Fan only had a backpack, which also didn't need to be checked in.

Now, without Kang Seulgi and the others making any effort to give up their seats, Bae Joohyun and Ye Fan naturally sat together.

It only takes an hour and a half to fly from Seoul to Jeju Island. They arrived around 11 o'clock, checked into the hotel around 11:1, had some late-night snacks and rested, and then got up early the next day to go sightseeing.

"A hotel..."

Ye Fan glanced at Jiang Seulgi, wondering what kind of room she had booked for him and Bae Joo-hyun.

She herself confidently declared that she would take care of it, but Seulgi, this director, is becoming increasingly unrestrained, and considering what happened the day before yesterday, could it be...
