Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

"what?"

Just as Ye Fan was about to nod to the girl he didn't know, Jiang Seulgi's words, "Your brother-in-law," completely stunned him.

I?

Bae Joo-hyun lowered her head, her fingers clutching her pants. It was a pity the lighting was a bit dim, otherwise her rosy face could have been seen.

Ye Fan was a little confused, so what did Jiang Seulgi mean by "help"?

"Please help me, handsome~" Kang Seulgi whispered in Ye Fan's ear, "This is your landlord's sister."

Ye Fan's lips twitched. This Kang Seulgi didn't even tell him beforehand. There's no way she'd forced him into this situation like this!

Despite his initial grumbling, he quickly accepted his new identity, a smile spreading across his face as he greeted Bae Joo-hee, "You must be Joo-hee?"

"I've heard Irene mention you before. Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Ye Fan."

Pei Zhuxi stared wide-eyed, having been scrutinizing Ye Fan ever since he appeared.

He's really handsome, looks very young, has dimples when he smiles, and has a kind of roguish charm.

"Hello, brother-in-law!" Pei Zhuxi responded enthusiastically. She didn't expect her brother-in-law to be so handsome. Even though he's not in the entertainment industry, he looks like he could debut as a celebrity!

Bae Joo-hyun blinked, and... she just picked up the conversation so naturally?

Kang Seulgi was also a little surprised that she got into character so quickly.

However, she reacted quickly, taking her own cup and sitting down next to Bae Joo-hee, making room for Bae Joo-hyun. Ye Fan also sat down naturally, but maintained a polite and safe distance from Bae Joo-hyun.

Despite this, I could still smell the pleasant perfume next to me.

"Brother-in-law, you're even more handsome than my sister and the others described."

"Really?" Ye Fan chuckled. "Thank you, you're very beautiful too."

Not only is her brother-in-law handsome, but his voice is also very pleasant. Pei Zhuxi glanced at her sister and nodded admiringly. Although she didn't know what kind of person he was, his appearance was very nice!

Facing her sister's gaze, Bae Joo-hyun gave an awkward yet polite smile.

"Brother-in-law, you flatter me. You could debut as a celebrity with that kind of looks. No wonder my sister never told us what you look like. She was keeping it all to herself! But just now, I heard you call her 'Irene'?"

"Well, your sister is a few years older than me, so naturally I have to call her sister. I think there's another reason why she didn't tell you, besides the fact that we haven't been together for very long. She's afraid you'll think I'm some kind of brat who's hooked up with a beautiful and intelligent rich woman?" Ye Fan responded calmly, without the slightest hint of panic on his face, and even cracked a little joke.

Kang Seulgi gave Ye Fan a thumbs up from outside the table. Look at that, this is a real veteran actor. He can act so naturally even without having read the script. He belittles himself about his age while also being considerate of the other person. Impressive.

"Haha, brother-in-law, you're too modest. May I ask how old you are?"

"25."

Bae Joo-hee choked, coughed twice, and glanced at her sister.

Bae Joo-hyun had already lowered her head in embarrassment.

Goodness, no wonder she kept it a secret and wouldn't say no matter how much we asked. The age difference is quite big. Bae Joo-hee thought it might only be one or two years older, or three or four years, but it's actually seven years older!

My brother-in-law is two years younger than me!

However, at my age, if I were to find someone older, they would be in their late thirties or late forties. Compared to that, it seems that someone younger is better.

Young and energetic!

"Brother-in-law, don't be modest. Youth is your greatest asset!" Pei Zhuxi smiled and turned to look at her sister.

"Sister, why did you stop talking as soon as your husband arrived?"

"Are you shy?"

Bae Joo-hyun looked up and glared at her two younger sisters. What are you saying?

What is she supposed to say in this situation?!

Especially Seulgi, she dragged everyone here without even saying hello, it was so embarrassing! I'll have to give her a good talking to when we get back.

Composing herself, Bae Joo-hyun adjusted her expression and uttered her first words to Ye Fan since they met.

"you……"

"How did you end up here?" As soon as she said that, Bae Joo-hyun immediately regretted it and wanted to slap herself! It seemed like she had ruined the atmosphere by saying that.

Kang Seulgi was also speechless. "Unnie, you're a senior actress, how come you're not as into character as your boyfriend?"

Ye Fan was also taken aback, then his mind raced. "Seulgi told me. I happened to be nearby, so I came over."

Kang Seulgi immediately chimed in, "Yeah, Joo-hee had been wanting to meet her brother-in-law all day, so I secretly messaged him."

Bae Joo-hyun said "Oh," then realized she couldn't keep up with the script and that saying more would only make things worse, so she shut up.

The next part consisted of Pei Zhuxi asking questions and Ye Fan answering.

For example, when did they get together, and how did they meet? Ye Fan answered these questions in a very convincing way, as if it were true.

During this time, Ye Fan also sent a message to Wu Yingying, saying that he was feeling unwell and had to go back first, and that he was very sorry.

Ding!

The phone screen lit up, showing a new message. I unlocked my phone and glanced at it; it was from Seulgi.

Seulgi: "Unnie, your boyfriend is amazing! He handles things so well. (Chuckles)"

Bae Joo-hyun looked up at Kang Seul-gi, who was smirking, and gave her an angry and speechless emoji.

She was so embarrassed. She was about to confess to her sister and bribe her, but Seulgi pulled Ye Fan over, and now the lie was stuck.

It was something I made up myself, and now I've troubled Ye Fan again.

Ye Fan checked the time; it was already 11 o'clock, and he had almost finished drinking, so he decided to leave.

He was already sleepy today, and then he was suddenly pulled into acting out a scene and drank some alcohol, so he's really tired.

Bae Joo-hyun noticed his actions and took the initiative to end the drinking session that evening.

Director Kang Seul-gi has already paid the bill; she can just take her things and leave.

Ye Fan wasn't worried about running into his colleagues downstairs since they were leaving for the next game before 9 o'clock.

"I'll head back now, goodbye sister and brother-in-law~"

"Okay, be careful."

After greeting everyone, Bae Joo-hee was about to walk towards the taxi when Bae Joo-hyun immediately stepped forward, pulled her aside, and whispered a warning: "Don't tell Mom and Dad!"

It's one thing if my younger sister finds out, but it would be even more troublesome if my parents found out.

Bae Joo-hee shook her head. "Unnie, although your brother-in-law is a bit young, I think you should just tell Mom and Dad directly. Otherwise, the more you keep it a secret, the more they'll want to know."

"Only if they know will they stop constantly messaging you. Even if you don't want to say too much, you can at least give them some information first, like your name or a photo, and then say that you've only known each other for a short time, so they shouldn't interfere too much, lest they scare your brother-in-law. Wouldn't that be fine?"

"Um?"

Bae Joo-hyun thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to make some sense.

Seeing her sister like this, Bae Joo-hee sighed, "Sis, you've been pushed too hard and you're a bit stressed. Trust me, this is the right thing to say."

"If you're going to tell me, please don't embellish it."

"Don't worry, I won't betray you!" Bae Joo-hee patted her chest to reassure her older sister.
