Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Fan reluctantly left his warm bed after hearing the alarm. He went to the bathroom to wash up and had just arrived at the kitchen door, intending to make breakfast, when the doorbell rang.

As soon as the door opened, Bae Joo-hyun's radiant smile appeared before Ye Fan, brighter than the morning sun. "Good morning~"

"You've come way too early," Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh, opening the door to let her in.

Although he had expected it, Ye Fan's lips involuntarily curled up the moment he saw Bae Joo-hyun.

Bae Joo-hyun is the one who comes to his place the most often. Apart from Bae Joo-hyun, who has an appointment with him, no one else would come knocking on the door so early in the morning. It couldn't possibly be Seulgi coming over to freeload a meal.

"You're here way too early, it's only 9 o'clock."

"It's already 9 o'clock, okay? We're going out to play today, so we naturally need to make the most of every minute." Bae Joo-hyun entered the house as if she had entered another home, and immediately opened the shoe cabinet to take out her slippers.

She got up at 8 o'clock to wash up and put on makeup.

"Did you just wake up?"

"Yeah, I just got up and was washing up to make breakfast when you came over," Ye Fan said. Since Bae Joo-hyun was all dressed up and ready to go, they might as well eat out.

"No need to change your shoes. Wait for me a moment, I'll go back and change my clothes, and then we'll go out."

"Okay." Bae Joo-hyun nodded and put the slippers back.

Ye Fan put on a white turtleneck sweater and then the black trench coat that Bae Joo-hyun's mother had given him. He left the room, and coincidentally, Bae Joo-hyun was also wearing a trench coat today, so they matched.

Bae Joo-hyun handed her bag to Ye Fan, "Then let's set off. Let's find a restaurant for breakfast first."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Once inside the elevator, Bae Joo-hyun took out her car keys. "Is your driver's license ready?"

Ye Fan nodded. He had recovered and was now able to drive in South Korea.

"Why don't you drive?" Bae Joo-hyun handed over the car keys.

"Are you sure you want me to drive? Aren't you afraid of damaging your beloved car?" Ye Fan glanced down at the car keys and joked.

"It's okay, I have more than one car, and if it gets scratched, I can just take it to get repaired. Are my driving skills that bad?" Bae Joo-hyun replied, without taking the keys back.

If Ye Fan says her driving skills are bad, she'll take it back and drive herself, prioritizing safety.

"No, it's just that I've never driven here before, so I'm a little nervous." Ye Fan shook his head. His driving skills were alright, but some roads in Seoul are very narrow, and today is Christmas, so there are a lot of people on the streets. He was a little scared.

However, Ye Fan eventually took the car keys from Bae Joo-hyun; there's a first time for everything, after all.

As soon as Ye Fan opened the driver's side door and sat down, he adjusted the seat position. It was too cramped, so he adjusted it to a comfortable position before fastening his seatbelt.

He was a little nervous as he gripped the steering wheel; it was his first time driving in Seoul, South Korea.

"Keep going, just drive slowly if you're not familiar with the road conditions," Bae Joo-hyun comforted Ye Fan.

After the car had warmed up, Ye Fan drove it out of the parking lot, focusing intently on the road conditions.

Seeing him squinting and driving intently, Bae Joo-hyun found it amusing and even a little cute, so she took out her phone and snapped a picture of Ye Fan.

Turning his head to glance at the camera, Ye Fan said, "Are you filming me making a fool of myself?"

"No way, you're really handsome and cute, okay?" Bae Joo-hyun laughed, then switched to video mode and gave a thumbs up in front of the camera, "You drove very smoothly, keep it up."

Not long after they hit the road, they lined up at the traffic lights. Ye Fan glanced at the streets on both sides and saw that there were indeed many people, mostly couples, and many businesses were also holding events, making it a lively place.

I don't know why they attach so much importance to Christmas.

Upon arriving in the city, Ye Fan followed Bae Joo-hyun's directions and entered the underground parking lot of a shopping mall. It was only a little before 10 o'clock, and the parking spaces were almost full.

After finding a parking spot, Ye Fan memorized the location and slung Bae Joo-hyun's bag over his shoulder.

Seeing that Bae Joo-hyun wasn't wearing a mask or hat, Ye Fan stopped and reminded her to put on her disguise first, since there were many people around today, and it would be troublesome if she were recognized.

Red Velvet's Irene was spotted shopping with a young man on Christmas Day, behaving intimately, suggesting they may be in a relationship!

If they are recognized, this kind of news will probably appear on Korean websites the next day.

Bae Joo-hyun then took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, covering the upper half of her face.

Ye Fan nodded. This should be fine. Although fans like to jokingly call Bae Joo-hyun "Big Head Cabbage," Bae Joo-hyun's face is actually quite small. These sunglasses are only slightly larger than regular-sized sunglasses, yet they cover almost half of her face.

"Wouldn't wearing sunglasses be enough?" Bae Joo-hyun looked at Ye Fan after putting them on, shaking her head like a child showing off a new toy.

"Hmm, this looks alright." Ye Fan examined her carefully. If she didn't take off her sunglasses, he wouldn't be able to tell. He just thought she was a girl with a great temperament.

"Let's go then." Bae Joo-hyun stepped forward and took Ye Fan's arm.

"I've noticed you're getting more and more adept at linking arms with me these days?" Ye Fan teased. He used to be too shy to do it, but now he takes every opportunity to link arms with me.

"Hehe, we're a 'couple,' so holding hands is perfectly normal." Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head back and said matter-of-factly, as if she were doing something perfectly normal.

After leaving the parking lot, the two first found a Chinese restaurant to have breakfast, and then strolled around the mall. No matter which store they visited, they could see Christmas trees and red stockings on display.

There was a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the mall, along with Santa Claus dolls and some red gift boxes.

There were many couples in the mall, and the girls were all wearing red dresses similar to Santa Claus's and Santa hats.

Well, it's cosplay, so it's not hard to guess what's going on tonight.

Noticing Ye Fan's gaze, Bae Joo-hyun grabbed his arm and said with displeasure, "What are you looking at?"

He was right next to her, and he was looking at other girls!

"Looking at the beautiful cosplayer."

Ye Fan was perfectly justified, but he quickly became jealous and was punished by Pei Zhuxuan.

"Hey, if you keep looking around like that, I'll..." Bae Joo-hyun said, swinging her arm to show Ye Fan her clenched fist.

"I know!" Ye Fan immediately backed down. Bae Joo-hyun was really going to beat him up. He had already been hit by her quite a few times. Her iron elbows were good enough to compete for the best defense.

Passing by a watch store, Ye Fan stopped and suggested going in for a look. Bae Joo-hyun naturally agreed, as they had come out to shop anyway.

But when Ye Fan paid for a women's watch and then presented the gift box to her, she was stunned for a moment and looked up at Ye Fan.

"Christmas presents".
