Peninsula: It’s just a dream, are you serious?

Chapter 279 Bae Suzy: My chances of winning are not small
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Yes, it's her."

He clicked on Bae Suzy's profile picture, and a selfie of a girl covering her face in front of a makeup mirror came into view.

Bae Suzy: Who's making a schedule on Valentine's Day night? It's me! [crying like a rabbit]

Chen Yan was already used to the girl complaining to him about being too busy with work.

Ever since he got injured when he went to buy coffee with Bae Suzy, Bae Suzy has been sending him messages every day to ask about his injury, and after asking, she would also complain about her busy work.

However, the girl was very tactful, and each time she would only chat for a few words before stopping, so Chen Yan didn't feel disgusted or anything was wrong. On the contrary, their relationship became closer.

As usual, Chen Yan offered a word of comfort like a close friend, and Bae Suzy's reply came the next second.

Bae Suzy: Oppa, have you gone out to play?
Chen Yan: No, I'm staying home watching movies.

Bae Suzy: Oh, okay.

After chatting for a couple more minutes, Bae Suzy ended the chat because she had to go to work.

Chen Yan put down his phone and suddenly felt someone watching him from the side.

Turning his head, he saw Choi Sulli looking at him with a somewhat strange expression.

"Um, what's wrong, Peach?"

The girl pouted slightly: "Did Suzy want to see oppa about something?"

She knew that the two had a good relationship, and Chen Yan's last injury was also due to an accident he encountered while helping Bae Suzy buy coffee.

But despite their good relationship, the fact that a pretty girl sent a message to her oppa on Valentine's Day still made Choi Sulli subconsciously a little wary.

"It's nothing, Suzy just complained to me about how she has to work at night."

As he spoke, recalling how Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah had treated Bae Suzy, he quickly added, "Suzy and I are just friends, nothing more."

He flipped his phone screen towards Choi Sulli, emphasizing his innocence.

Choi Sulli didn't look at it. Instead, she pressed Chen Yan's hand holding the phone down, then pulled her arm into her chest and said with a smile:

"I didn't say anything, oppa, you're making it sound like you're trying to cover something up."

Hearing the girl's slightly accented Chinese, Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and rubbed her head with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"You know quite a lot."

"Hehe, that's it."

Choi Sulli wrinkled her nose: "I didn't use anything wrong, right, oppa?"

"That's absolutely right."

Chen Yan nodded. He knew that what Choi Sulli said just now was just a joke, and she didn't really suspect that he and Bae Suzy had something going on.

After whispering sweet nothings to each other for a while, Chen Yan suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Peach, how's your relationship with Xiuzhi?"

"Well, my relationship with Suzy unnie is okay, but we're not very close. IU and Suzy unnie, on the other hand, have a pretty good relationship."

Choi Sulli thought for a moment and replied.

She and Bae Suzy weren't actually very close; their relationship was only okay because of Lee Ji-eun.

"Oh."

Chen Yan nodded knowingly, then, recalling Bae Suzy's question about whether he was dating Im Yoona, asked in confusion:

"Didn't Ji-eun tell Soo-ji about our relationship?"

"I think should not be."

Choi Sulli shook her head: "I told Ji-eun before that she shouldn't tell anyone about me and oppa. If it gets out and people who know about your relationship with Taeyeon unnie hear it, that would be troublesome."

Chen Yan nodded. He hadn't told Bae Suzy and Choi Sulli about it earlier, just to avoid any complications.

He wasn't afraid of people finding out, but all three women were in the entertainment industry, and some things were better kept secret, limited to only trusted people. Bae Suzy genuinely didn't know about Chen Yan and Choi Sulli's affair. At this moment, she sat in front of the makeup mirror in the waiting room, looking at her phone with a smile on her lips.

"Oppa really stayed home this Valentine's Day."

She sent the message at this time to find out what Chen Yan was doing and whether there were any women around him.

Then I got a satisfactory answer.

When I asked Lee Ji-eun about the relationship between Chen Yan and Kim Tae-yeon last time, she also got a satisfactory answer.

Ji-eun unnie said that Kim Tae-yeon and this oppa are neighbors who have known each other for a long time, like childhood friends and siblings, not boyfriend and girlfriend.

As for how Lee Ji-eun knew about Kim Tae-yeon and Chen Yan's relationship...
That's because I heard it from a certain peach.

However, although that's what Lee Ji-eun said, Bae Suzy herself recalled the scene when she met Kim Tae-yeon at the hospital last time, and felt that the senior's feelings for Chen Yan were not just those of a brother and sister, but seemed to have some other thoughts.

Based on the subtle wariness the girl showed towards her, the girl felt that her thoughts were probably correct.

And then there's Lin Yoona, that senior colleague. She probably has some other feelings for Chen Yan and is also a bit wary of him.

After pondering for a moment, Bae Soo-ji suddenly smiled.

Regardless, we're not together yet, so I still have a chance. At worst, I'll just compete fairly.

Although those two seniors were from a national girl group, I was also the nation's first love. My looks, figure, and fame were no less than theirs.

Childhood sweethearts, as depicted in TV dramas, are generally no match for a sudden, unexpected love.

Although Yoona is a big threat, she has a rival in her own team.

Just dealing with senior Kim Tae-yeon will probably take up a lot of her energy.

Before I can even show myself, these two might start fighting.

After analyzing the situation, Bae Suzy felt that her chances of winning were actually quite good.

She smiled again as she looked at Chen Yan's profile picture on her phone.

After what happened at the coffee shop, she felt that her feelings for this oppa were a little different.

I'm not sure if it's love, but I definitely feel much more favorably towards them.

Let's just see how things go for now. Anyway, that oppa is so handsome, I won't lose out.

Around 10 p.m., near a residential area in Cheongdam-dong, at a familiar corner, a black Mercedes slowly came to a stop.

"Then I'm leaving, oppa."

In the car, Cui Xueli looked at Chen Yan and said goodbye to him with some reluctance.

Actually, she didn't really want to come back; she wanted to stay at Chen Yan's house that night.

The girl has never experienced lying in bed hugging this oppa, snuggling in his arms and having a good sleep. It must feel so comfortable.

But she was also helpless. She had a schedule early the next morning, and not to mention, it would be difficult to deal with her agent.

Chen Yan smiled and ruffled her hair: "Go back and get some rest, Peach."

"Okay, I'm off then. Be careful on your way home, oppa."

Choi Sulli leaned down and kissed the man on the lips before unbuckled her seatbelt, got out of the car, and walked into the residential area.

Chen Yan only turned his car around and left after Choi Sulli's figure disappeared from sight.

Just seconds after he turned his car around and drove away, a taxi stopped in the same spot.

The car door opened, and a tall figure got out. After closing the door, she subconsciously looked around.

As he watched the black Mercedes drive away, he suddenly exclaimed softly, "Hey, that car!"
