Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

At midnight, Ye Fan returned to the residential area with unsteady steps.

Damn it, he never expected that he would be the one being targeted. Not only Wu Yingying was coming to him, but He Zhonglei was also coming to him, and other colleagues were taking turns to toast him. Shouldn't the annual party be about getting to the boss? Why did they turn their attention to him? It's really strange.

After being bombarded with drinks, Ye Fan had also drunk quite a bit. During the second round, he made an excuse to run away, as he didn't want to go home drunk, with someone waiting for him.

When he got downstairs, Ye Fan looked up and squinted to find his floor. He noticed the lights were still on and felt a warm feeling rise in his heart.

Back at the door, Ye Fan entered the password and opened the door. He saw Bae Joo-hyun leaning out and looking at the door. When she saw it was Ye Fan, she jogged over to him.

But as soon as she stood in front of him, Bae Joo-hyun wrinkled her nose, her features contorted, and waved her hand in front of her nose to dispel the pungent smell of alcohol.

With a pleasant nasal sound, Bae Joo-hyun took slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them beside Ye Fan's feet. She asked with concern, "How much did you drink?"

"I was targeted tonight, I don't even remember how much I drank." Ye Fan sighed and changed into slippers.

Bae Joo-hyun then entered the kitchen and brought out a bowl of hangover soup, handing it to Ye Fan. "Have some, it'll help you sober up."

Ye Fan was taken aback, clearly not expecting Bae Joo-hyun to do this, and felt even warmer inside. "Thank you."

"You're welcome~" Bae Joo-hyun chuckled and sat down next to Ye Fan.

"Didn't you say you were being targeted? Why is that?"

"I don't know either. I've just been targeted. Maybe it's because I have a girlfriend?" Ye Fan shook his head. He didn't understand why he was being targeted either. After thinking it over, this was the most likely answer.

Although he doesn't usually go out to participate in small gatherings with his colleagues, he does chat during work hours, so it can't be because of this, right?

So the most likely explanation is that he has a girlfriend, and they can't find an opportunity to drink at other people's company party, so they drank at the party today.

"Um?"

Bae Joo-hyun tilted her head, blinked at Ye Fan, and asked, "Is this related to me?"

"Hmm, that should be it. If it's not like that, I can't guess what the reason is." Ye Fan took a sip of the hangover soup and felt much better.

Bae Joo-hyun stuck out her tongue. Since Ye Fan said so, it must be true. She didn't expect that Ye Fan being forced to drink had a reason related to her.

Hmm...girlfriend!

Ye Fan then recounted some interesting events from the annual meeting, with Bae Joo-hyun keeping him company.

"Then why did you sneak back halfway? I thought you'd be drinking until two or three in the morning."

The company's annual party usually goes on until very late. It's 12 o'clock now, so there should be a third party.

"I can't drink anymore, I'll really get drunk if I drink any more, so I had to sneak back."

"You can ask me to pick you up; I've been waiting for you at home."

Ye Fan's eyes flickered. These words struck a soft spot in his heart again. He smiled and said, "I knew you were here, so I sneaked back early. I couldn't come back drunk."

"Besides, if I ask you to pick me up, how can you carry me by yourself? I'm afraid you'll get impatient and leave me alone on the lawn downstairs."

"Hmph, I'm very strong too, okay!" Bae Joo-hyun frowned, her stubbornness flaring up again. Ye Fan actually dared to underestimate her!

"You're big, but you can't lift me up, especially when I'm drunk. I appreciate your kindness." Ye Fan raised his hand and gently patted Bae Joo-hyun's head, then got up and took the bowl back to the kitchen to wash it.

When she came out, she found Bae Joo-hyun still sitting on the sofa with the TV still on. She smiled and asked, "It's so late, aren't you going to rest?"

"I'm ready. I'll go to sleep after I finish watching this drama." Bae Joo-hyun pointed to the TV. She had just started watching and was thinking of finishing the whole thing after watching only a part of it.

"I'll go back and take a shower first; I smell like alcohol."

"it is good."

After returning to his room and taking a shower to get rid of the smell of alcohol, Ye Fan changed into his pajamas and left the room again.

Bae Joo-hyun, hugging a cushion, saw Ye Fan return and said, "You've had too much to drink, why aren't you resting? Why are you out again?"

"Come out and watch TV with me for a while, then go to sleep." Ye Fan sat down next to Bae Joo-hyun. A romance movie was playing, and they were already almost halfway through.

Although she was happy, Bae Joo-hyun knew that Ye Fan had drunk a lot of alcohol. "You've drunk so much, you should go back and rest early."

"It's okay. I feel dizzy even if I lie down now. I'll sit for a while to sober up."

"Hmph, so stubborn."

After muttering something under her breath, Bae Joo-hyun moved closer to Ye Fan, tilted her body, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Hmm, this time there was no pungent smell of alcohol, only the fragrance of shower gel, which made Bae Joo-hyun feel very safe leaning against it.

The living room fell silent, with only the movie's progress ticking away second by second, the plot gradually unfolding as the male and female leads drew closer to each other.

Ye Fan couldn't empathize with these romantic movies, but since Bae Joo-hyun was leaning on his shoulder, he didn't feel comfortable moving around much.

Having drunk too much and with a beautiful woman beside him, Ye Fan could say that he really had no such thoughts.

My head was spinning, I couldn't even get up, let alone do *that* kind of thing. Those stories in novels and movies about people having sex after drinking, they must have actually meant it, or they were just slightly tipsy, otherwise they wouldn't have had sex.

Ye Fan heard a soft snoring sound. He looked down and saw that Bae Joo-hyun had her head tilted to the side and her mouth slightly open; she was already asleep.

Ye Fan grinned. He had said he would watch TV for a while and told me to go to sleep first, but now he was the one who fell asleep.

If you sleep poorly, you'll have a stiff neck the next day. Holding Bae Joo-hyun's head with one hand, he got up and carried her back to the guest room. After settling her in, he went out and turned off the lights and the TV.

After drinking the hangover soup, taking a bath, and sitting for more than half an hour, Ye Fan was almost sober. Now that he lay down, the dizziness was no longer intense.

I'll come pick you up!

I made you a hangover soup.

I've been waiting for you at home!

Despite feeling a bit dizzy, the earnest look on Bae Joo-hyun's face when she said those three sentences still lingered in my mind.

These three sentences were incredibly powerful for a pure-love warrior like him. Though simple, they were more effective than countless sweet nothings. Ye Fan didn't even realize that a faint smile was playing on his lips the whole time.

Perhaps this is the happiness of having someone waiting at home and having a partner?

Ye Fan exhaled, closed his eyes, and the three sentences lingered in his mind. He fell asleep in no time.

A smile lingered on his lips; judging by his expression, tonight was destined to be a sweet dream.
