Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

Bae Joo-hyun pushed away her two younger sisters, escaped their encirclement, and ran back to her room with her short legs.

"Brother-in-law, Unnie is shy, she's gone back to her room now!"

Kang Seulgi called out to Bae Joohyun's retreating figure. Ye Fan, on the other end of the phone, naturally heard it and let out a soft laugh. Bae Joohyun turned around and glared at Seulgi with a look of shame and indignation.

As soon as she took off her shoes, Bae Joo-hyun lay down on the bed and muttered softly, "Are you really going to treat us?"

"Of course I'll invite you. We've already agreed, so there's no reason not to," Ye Fan replied.

"Then why did you invite them to dinner? To thank them for watching over me?" Bae Joo-hyun bit her lower lip, suppressing the upward curve of her lips.

After asking the question, Bae Joo-hyun didn't hear a response for a few seconds. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at the screen again and found that the call hadn't ended and the call time was still increasing second by second.

Is it stuck?

Just as she was wondering, a series of deliberate snores grew louder and louder. Bae Joo-hyun wrinkled her nose. How could she have fallen asleep in just a few seconds, and even snore so deliberately?

"What are you doing?" Bae Joo-hyun asked softly.

"I'm asleep."

Hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun chuckled, both annoyed and amused. "How could you answer my questions when you were asleep?"

"Phew, what are you saying? I'm not going, I'm not going." Ye Fan snored, pretending to talk in his sleep, babbling incoherently in a very confused tone.

"Hmph, I won't bother with you!" Bae Joo-hyun snorted lightly and didn't press him any further. Ye Fan's words were already quite generous. She was showing her sisterly grace again. She could deal with him when they returned to the country.

"If you're sleepy, you should go to sleep first. It's getting late, let's meet again when we get back."

"Okay, goodnight then. You should get some rest too." Ye Fan's voice returned to normal as he said goodnight to Bae Joo-hyun, as he had also been wanting to sleep.

"Good night."

Bae Joo-hyun put down her phone and watched the call time tick by. After half a minute, seeing that Ye Fan hadn't hung up, she smiled again.

Getting out of bed, Bae Joo-hyun returned to the living room, where Kang Seul-gi and Son Seung-wan had already eaten half of their meal.

"Is your brother-in-law asleep?" Kang Seulgi asked.

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, picked up her chopsticks, and continued eating from her bowl. She hadn't been on the phone for long when she went inside, and she still had food to eat.

"Looks like I predicted, my brother-in-law is really going to become my brother-in-law~"

"Unnie, congratulations in advance~" Son Seungwan raised her glass and clinked it against Bae Joo-hyun's glass.

Once this older sister and her brother-in-law confirm their relationship, she will officially be out of the single life. She will become the second person in the group to find a partner, and her partner is also very good.

Seeing this, Kang Seulgi also raised her glass and clinked glasses with him. She was thinking about what her brother-in-law should treat her to, and whether she should ask him to make some Chinese food that she had never eaten before.

Bae Joo-hyun chuckled, but didn't get carried away with her triumph.

"Judging from my brother-in-law's tone just now, he's almost done conquering her. Go, unnie! Get ready to charge!"

Son Seungwan swung her fists at the air twice, and her facial expression became comical and abstract. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't recognize her as the sweet and cool Son Seungwan on stage tonight.

This woman's expressions have always been quite rich and abstract, providing fans with a lot of meme material.

"Hmm, but why did things change so quickly?" Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head, somewhat puzzled. Could it be because she had been talking to him on the phone a lot lately?

"Maybe it's because the walkthrough progressed to the next stage, isn't that how it is in games?" Son Seung-wan said.

Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi shook their heads and said in unison, "We don't play these kinds of games, we don't understand."

Kang Seulgi picked up her glass and took a small sip. At times like this, it was up to her, the director, to make the decisions.

"The progress of the strategy is one thing, but I think it's also related to the two sentences that Seungwan and I just finished saying."

"You mean, you said you kept an eye on Unnie, didn't let anyone hit on her, and that Unnie rushed back to call him as soon as she finished?" Son Seungwan rolled her eyes, recalling what she had just said in her mind.

Kang Seulgi nodded, "That's right. Plus, unnie has been calling her brother-in-law a lot lately, and she also sends messages and shares her daily life with him frequently."

Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan nodded, sitting upright like students attentively listening to a teacher.

"My brother-in-law said before that he doesn't dare to date because he's afraid of being dumped. The videos he likes all have emotional captions. He's afraid that his girlfriend is just a three-minute fling, so he's been keeping his distance and just doing his job."

"But right now, Unnie is still in contact with her brother-in-law, and her advances are getting more and more intense. She calls him to chat every night, and she was also thinking about calling him when she got back from the dinner party today, so..."

Kang Seulgi raised her hand and pushed up her non-existent glasses. "Well then, there's only one answer!"

"This firm choice is what made my brother-in-law let his guard down!"

Actually, there's another reason: my brother-in-law probably thinks that since we're from different circles, our relationship probably won't last.

Although he doesn't follow the entertainment industry closely, he always comes across some news about it. Moreover, the cultures of the entertainment industries on both sides are quite different. Here, being an artist is just a job, and many artists date people outside the industry.

Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan clapped and gave Seulgi a thumbs up.

"Can you do that, Seulgi!"

"Hehe, of course! I'm a director, of course I have to learn!" Kang Seulgi raised her head, her palm gesturing slightly, her smug expression and her憨憨 (simple and honest) demeanor making her even more adorable.

"Unnie, you can't go wrong if you walk this way." Kang Seulgi put her arm around Bae Joohyun's shoulder, nodded at her, and encouraged her.

Bae Joo-hyun nodded, indicating that she understood.

While they were reviewing and analyzing the situation, Ye Fan had already fallen asleep.

"In that case, let's think about what our brother-in-law should treat us to when we get back?" Kang Seulgi's topic took a 180-degree turn, and Bae Joo-hyun and Son Seung-wan shuddered, almost falling over from her.

Bae Joo-hyun: ...

Son Seung-wan: ...

She flicked her silly little sister's forehead and stood up. "I'm going back to wash up and rest."

It's getting late, we've almost finished eating, and it's been a busy day.

"Okay, goodnight, unnie."

After taking a shower and returning to her room, Bae Joo-hyun covered herself with the blanket and lightly tapped her phone screen, discovering that the call was still going on.

"I didn't snore tonight~" Bae Joo-hyun tapped her phone lightly.

What an idiot.
