Peninsula: My Top-Tier Landlord

"Why did you come here?"

Ye Fan looked through the peephole and saw that it was Bae Joo-hyun outside the door, so he quickly opened the door.

Bae Joo-hyun glanced inside and said, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

Ye Fan stepped aside to let Bae Joo-hyun come in first. Seeing that she was dressed neatly, she didn't look like she was going to rest.

Ye Fan closed the door again and hung the chain back up before returning to the room, where Pei Zhuxuan was already sitting at the foot of the bed.

"Why are you here tonight instead of resting? Aren't you tired enough?"

"I slept enough on the plane, so I'm not very sleepy yet, and besides..."

Bae Joo-hyun glared at Ye Fan with annoyance. This guy had actually scared her when he arrived at the room, pulled that trick, and even said something about telling the things inside to be careful.

She wasn't that bold, especially in a foreign country. Ye Fan's antics made Bae Joo-hyun feel uncomfortable in the room.

"Who told you to scare me!"

"Are you trying to scare me?"

Ye Fan blinked, and seeing her annoyed look, he remembered how he had knocked on the door when she first checked in. "Hahaha, so that's why."

"You're still laughing?" Seeing him laugh, Bae Joo-hyun became even more embarrassed and annoyed.

Why did you do that? Is there any explanation for it?

statement?

Ye Fan learned this from videos and novels that told stories of murder and the bizarre, especially those about hotels, where people would knock on the door before checking in, so he followed suit.

"Do you really want to hear this?"

"What's wrong? Is it going to be scary?" Seeing Ye Fan's expression turn serious, Bae Joo-hyun also felt uneasy, and her tone instantly softened.

"It's fine for me, but I'm afraid you'll be even more hesitant to go back after hearing this, and besides..."

"and?"

"And telling a girl scary stories in a hotel room to make her afraid to go back to her room is a bit like the tricks those scumbags use to lure young girls into bed." Ye Fan propped his head up and turned to look at Bae Joo-hyun, whose hair was loose and flowing.

She was without makeup and smelled of fresh shower gel, so she looked like she had just taken a shower.

Bae Joo-hyun rolled her eyes at him. That was a bit too blunt. "I'm not a little girl anymore, and I'm older than you, noona!"

"Besides, it's happened so many times, and I haven't seen you make any moves. What's one more time?" Bae Joo-hyun didn't say this outright, but just muttered it under her breath.

"Age isn't the key factor, as long as it's useful."

"But do you really want to listen? You might be too scared to go back to sleep later," Ye Fan asked again.

"Then I'll sleep here!"

"You're really being unreasonable as a boss, occupying an employee's room?"

"snort!"

Speaking of this, Bae Joo-hyun gave a smug hum, then leaned back and lay down on the bed, spreading her arms and legs wide. "Of course! You're my assistant now, I'm your boss, can't I use the room for a bit?"

Ye Fan turned his gaze away and looked at the TV screen. "If you want to hear it, then I'll tell you."

After saying that, Ye Fan told Bae Joo-hyun the reason, and even opened Douyin (TikTok) to search for related stories or case videos to listen to, which startled her.

"You...you usually watch these kinds of videos? Aren't you scared watching them alone?"

Bae Joo-hyun admitted that she was somewhat frightened; when she closed her eyes, she saw images of demons, monsters, or murders.

"I was scared the first time I watched it, but after watching it for a while, I realized it wasn't that scary."

Turning his head, Ye Fan saw Bae Joo-hyun curled up in a ball and laughed, "How about it? Still dare to go back to sleep alone?"

"I wouldn't dare, so I'll sleep here!" Bae Joo-hyun nimbly rolled over, lifted the blanket, and crawled inside, only half of her head showing. She held onto the edge of the blanket with both hands and blinked her big eyes at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had never lifted the covers and lay down in the bed before, and since he didn't smoke, there was no strange smell. Lying there was almost the same as lying in his own room.

"Give me your room key, I'll sleep at your place." Ye Fan held out his hand to Bae Joo-hyun. His bed was taken, he couldn't very well let him sleep on the sofa, could he?

"No!"

"I haven't tidied the room..." Bae Joo-hyun shook her head; her change of clothes were just lying on the bed.

"At this point, you still care about this?" Ye Fan scoffed, his eyes half-closed. She'd already showered there so many times, her clothes were practically hanging there, it wasn't like she'd never seen them before.

"It just won't work!"

"Besides, if you go to sleep over there, you'll leave me all alone here. I'm scared!" Bae Joo-hyun poked her head out, looking at Ye Fan pitifully.

Seeing her like this, Ye Fan pinched his thigh and said, "So you're thinking of making me sleep with you?"

"So that's what you were waiting for! You asked me to come to London with you this time, you wouldn't have been thinking of taking me away..." Ye Fan's eyes showed panic, and he covered his chest with his hands.

Seeing that he was still joking, Bae Joo-hyun became even more embarrassed and annoyed. She got up and stepped forward to give him two elbows. He got the benefit but still acted innocent!

After taking two elbows, Ye Fan grabbed her wrist. "Wait, wait, wait! As an artist and a boss, how can you beat up your assistant?"

"I'll beat you up! You're always teasing me! And you're acting all innocent after getting the benefit!" Bae Joo-hyun struggled to break free, but Ye Fan held her wrist tightly.

Ye Fan loosened his grip, and Bae Joo-hyun, who had just exerted force, suddenly fell backward with a cry of surprise. Ye Fan reacted quickly, reaching out to pull her back, and Bae Joo-hyun fell forward, landing in Ye Fan's arms.

The two were silent for a moment, with only the sound of the television echoing in the room. Ye Fan opened his mouth, and just as his hand touched her body, his waist was tightly hugged, and his chest was brushed against.

"you…"

"Oh……"

Ye Fan chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Boss, you're hugging me a little too tightly. I can hardly breathe. Besides, your intentions are now quite clear."

"Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

"Can you handle it?" Bae Joo-hyun buried her head in Ye Fan's chest and asked in a muffled voice, though her tone was a little weak. If you looked closely, you could see that her ears were already red.

"That will cost a different price." Ye Fan put his hand down and gently patted Bae Joo-hyun's back.

Pressed against Ye Fan's chest, Bae Joo-hyun could hear Ye Fan's rapidly beating heartbeat.

Having spent so much time together, Bae Joo-hyun knew Ye Fan's feelings. Even Seulgi had secretly told her that Ye Fan also liked her.

Bae Joo-hyun took a deep breath, made up her mind, left his embrace, raised her head and looked directly into his eyes. Her face was as red as a peach, pink and tender, making Ye Fan's mouth dry.

"What's wrong?" Ye Fan realized something, and his heart raced.

Bae Joo-hyun took another deep breath, mentally preparing herself, and was about to speak when Ye Fan raised his hand to stop her, smiling:

"You're not thinking of confessing your feelings, are you?"
