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

Chapter 592 The First Formal Family Gathering of Eight

Around 5 p.m., the doorbell rang at the new house in Gangnam District.

As Chen Yan stood up, he looked at Lee Soon-kyu and asked, "Noona, didn't you tell them the password?"

Lee Soon-kyu paused for a moment: "Oh, I forgot, I'll send it in the group right away."

She picked up her phone, while Chen Yan walked to the door and opened it.

Two tall figures appeared before them; they were Peach and Krystal Jung.

Upon seeing her oppa, Peach immediately smiled and her eyes crinkled into crescent moons.

"Hehe~ Good afternoon, oppa~"

Good afternoon~

Chen Yan smiled and replied, "Come in, there are slippers in the shoe cabinet, all new."

The two went inside to change their shoes.

"How did you all come together? Was it part of the same itinerary?"

As Krystal changed her shoes, she shook her head: "No, I finished my schedule first. Peach came a little later. I waited for her to come back from the dorm before we came together."

"Oh."

The two changed into slippers and went inside. They greeted Lee Soon-kyu on the sofa and then curiously looked around the room.

"Wow~"

Walking to the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, looking at the slowly flowing Han River outside, Peach's lips parted slightly.

"The night view from here is absolutely beautiful."

Krystal Jung, who was standing next to her, also nodded.

"This floor-to-ceiling window is one-way glass, so we can see outside, but those outside can't see inside."

Chen Yan, standing behind him, explained with a smile.

In fact, all three houses he looked at today had one-way glass.

After all, these houses are designed specifically for wealthy people, who generally value privacy.

The two nodded, even more satisfied.

Afterwards, Chen Yan and Li Shungui led the two on a tour of the house, inside and out.

As mentioned before, the basic conditions of this house are similar to the other two.

It also consists of two floors above ground and one floor below ground. There are five guest rooms and two separate bathrooms on the first floor.

The second floor consists of a master bedroom with its own bathroom, five guest rooms, a study, and two separate bathrooms.

The basement level also includes a parking garage, a home theater, and a gym.

Arriving at the rooftop outdoor swimming pool, the entire pool is enclosed by a large glass enclosure, so wind and rain won't affect its use.

It also has a temperature control device inside, which can ensure a comfortable swimming temperature all year round.

There are several lounge chairs and small tables next to the pool for people to relax. When you have free time, you can also have some fruit and drinks, lie on them to sunbathe, and enjoy the sunset.

Upon seeing the swimming pool, Krystal Jung's eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing this, Chen Yan smiled and asked, "Do you like it here?"

"Hmm~"

The girl nodded with her eyes crinkling.

Swimming is one of her favorite sports, and this swimming pool is fantastic.

Afterwards, the four of them went downstairs to take a look at the small garden that was located at the back of the first floor.

The small garden is surrounded by greenery, but because it is winter, there are not many kinds of flowers.

Chen Yan was drawn to this small garden mainly because it was spacious enough that he could have an outdoor barbecue or something similar when he had free time in the summer.

In addition, there is a small pavilion in the middle of the garden, with a few chairs and a small round table inside, where people can rest, enjoy the scenery, and chat.

It just takes some effort to maintain the garden.

Looking at the eight people in my family, none of them are the type to manage a garden. I'll find some hardy plants to plant later.

Wow~ there's even a garden.

Peach's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the garden in front of her.

"Like it?"

"Hmm~ I like it, oppa. It will be really comfortable to sit here and chat and enjoy the breeze."

"As long as our Peach likes it, that's fine."

Chen Yan smiled.

Jung Soo-jung and Tao's love for the outdoor swimming pool and garden made him feel that the extra 200 million won for the house was well spent.

After touring the house, the four of them returned to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Chen Yan glanced at his watch and said, "It's past five o'clock. Are you hungry? How about we order takeout?"

There are no ingredients in the new house. It's too much trouble to go out to buy ingredients and cook. It's more convenient to order takeout.

"Okay."

The three nodded and responded.

Chen Yan took out his phone and looked at Lee Soon-kyu: "Noona, when will the others arrive?"

"Let me take a look."

Lee Soon-kyu picked up her phone and opened the group chat.

"Suzy said she can only come after she finishes filming the commercial, which will be after 7 pm."

"Taeyeon and Yoona also have a photoshoot, which won't finish until after 7 pm."

“Jessica and Ji-eun both had a brand event, which ended around 6:30 pm.”

Chen Yan nodded: "Then let's eat first."

An hour later, the takeout arrived, and the four of them moved to the dining room for their first informal meal in their new house.

Peach picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth, chewing as she glanced around the restaurant.

His gaze swept over the three people eating next to him one last time, and he suddenly paused, then a smile appeared on his lips.

Noticing the change in her expression, Chen Yan asked, "What's wrong, Peach? Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Soon-kyu and Jung Soo-jung on the other side also looked up curiously.

Peach shook her head slightly: "It's nothing. I just suddenly realized that this place will be my home from now on. We're a family sitting at home eating together now, and it just feels a little strange."

For her, the word "home" used to be something she could only feel a little bit of when the company settled accounts; it was something she could only long for but never reach.

However, after meeting Chen Yan and Kim Tae-yeon, and after Kim Tae-yeon told her in the practice room that her family would be her family from now on, and that she was willing to stay with Chen Yan, she finally had a home.

Moreover, the number of people in her family kept increasing, which was actually a happy thing for the girl.

The light in her world grew brighter and brighter, enough to illuminate the entire world, and it would never go out.

Chen Yan could somewhat understand Taozi's feelings at this moment. He looked at the girl with a gentle smile and picked up a piece of grilled meat for her.

"Eat more. Let's just have some takeout for now. After we officially move in, I'll have a housewarming party and cook for the whole family so we can all have a meal together."

Peach smiled sweetly: "Okay~"

Lee Soon-kyu and Jung Soo-jung smiled and continued eating.

A moment later, a password input sound suddenly rang out at the main entrance.

The four looked over, and a few seconds later, Jessica Jung's beautiful, aloof face came into view.

When her eyes met those of the others, she was startled instinctively.

On this side, Krystal Jung was the first to speak, greeting, "You're here, Jessica? Have you eaten yet?"

As Jessica Jung walked over, she replied, "I've already eaten."

"Oh." Krystal nodded, put down the tissue she was using to wipe her mouth, and stood up.
"That's perfect, I've finished eating too. Come on, I'll show you around."

She walked over, grabbed Jessica Jung's hand, and led her upstairs.

"Hey, don't pull me! I just got here. Let me sit down for a bit."

"Oh dear, you can sit down later. It's perfect for you to help me digest after dinner. Let me tell you, there's a rooftop swimming pool. I'm sure you'll love it."

Behind them, the three people sat in place, watching the two go upstairs.

Peach turned to look at her oppa: "Oppa, Jessica unnie doesn't seem embarrassed at all."

Chen Yan nodded.

Lee Soon-kyu smiled and said, "Jessica is just being a tsundere. She understands what she's thinking better than anyone else. Look at Krystal, she's always smiling. She's happier than anyone else. Don't worry about her. Krystal will handle it."

Krystal Jung is the natural counter to Jessica Jung.

"That's true~"

Peach chuckled, then got up and helped her oppa tidy up the dining table.

Not long after, Lee Ji-eun arrived, and Taozi, along with her best friend, went to visit the new house.

Soon after, Bae Suzy, Kim Tae-yeon, and Im Yoon-ah arrived one by one.

Everyone toured the house together and then sat down again at the dining table.

Chen Yan sat in the main seat in the middle, with Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah sitting on either side of him.

He glanced at the eight people sitting on either side and found it inexplicably funny.

Having a large family makes all the difference; when we sit together like this, it feels like we're having a meeting.

Seeing this, Lim Yoona kicked him directly: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I'm just happy to see my family sitting here together."

Chen Yan smiled and continued, "Everyone has seen the house. If you think there's anything missing, just tell me, and I'll buy it when I have time."

"Also, if you think there's anywhere that needs renovation, tell me and I'll find someone to do it."

Upon hearing this, the group looked around the room, their faces showing thoughtful expressions.

Finally, Kim Tae-yeon spoke first, saying, "Actually, there's nothing in the house that needs further renovation. It's fine as it is."

The entire house features a minimalist design, with marble tiles on the floor. It looks clean and bright, and the room is quite comfortable.

The others nodded in agreement.

This apartment was one they had initially selected from a shortlist of options, and its decorating style was naturally one they liked.

"What about the rooms? You can choose your rooms first. If any rooms need renovation, let me know."

Upon hearing this, Taozi and the others were stunned for a moment, and their eyes subconsciously turned to Kim Tae-yeon and Lim Yoon-ah, who were sitting in the first seat.

When it comes to choosing a room, of course, the two eldest sisters in the family should go first.

Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah calmly exchanged a glance, then turned to look at the rooms upstairs and downstairs.

Lin Yoona glanced at Chen Yan and said, "As for the rooms, the two guest rooms upstairs near the master bedroom are definitely not suitable for living."

Chen Yan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this: "Why?"

Before Yoona could reply, Soonkyu rolled her eyes at him and boldly spoke up:

"You think we don't know how powerful you are, huh? We live next door to you, and all we do is listen to your noise all night long, instead of sleeping, right?"

Upon hearing this, the others quickly realized what was happening and secretly glanced at the man, their cheeks slightly flushed.

That's absolutely right, those two rooms are uninhabitable.

"Forehead"

Chen Yan paused, gave an awkward smile, and remained silent.

This is a compliment to him; what right does he have to refute it?

It was indeed because he hadn't thought things through and had forgotten about it.

Yoona gave him a reproachful look and continued, "So I suggest we combine those two unused guest rooms into a shared dressing room for everyone to store their clothes and accessories."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they nodded.

It would be very suitable to open up the space to make a walk-in closet, since they, as celebrities, all have quite a few clothes.

"As for the remaining three rooms upstairs..."

Yoona glanced at Taeyeon across from her and said, "Taeyeon unnie and I are staying in adjacent rooms. You can choose the rest yourselves."

Kim Tae-yeon nodded, having no objection to the arrangement.

The others turned to look at the rooms on both the upper and lower floors.

That means there's one room left upstairs and five rooms downstairs, which is exactly six people, one room each.

"Peach, do you want to stay upstairs?"

Lee Soon-kyu looked at Peach across from him and asked.

Peach smiled brightly: "I'm fine with anything, unnie. Let's see if anyone wants to live upstairs."

For her, it doesn't matter which room she stays in, as long as there is a place for her in this house.

"Do any of you want to stay upstairs?"

The others looked at each other, and finally Krystal looked at Jessica across from her and said:

"Jessica, would you like to stay upstairs?"

When asked this question, Jessica Jung looked somewhat awkward: "I, I'm fine with anything, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see which room you're staying in so I could choose one that's far away from you."

Jessica Jung was slightly taken aback: "Hey! Why are you moving away from me?"

"It's nothing, I just want to get away from you."

Krystal shook her head slightly.

She didn't want to hear Jessica crying because of Chen Yan again, like last time when she was at home, which kept her awake all night.

"Hey! Krystal Jung!"

"what."

The two exchanged a few words, but Kim Tae-yeon brought the conversation back on track, and they continued discussing the room issue.

Finally, the upstairs room was given to Jessica Jung, and the remaining five people stayed in the five rooms on the first floor.

After the rooms were assigned, the group began discussing room decoration.

"As for the room, I don't think it needs any renovation. Just replace any furniture you want to change."

"Yes, I think so too. I think the current decoration is pretty good. You can just add any decorations you want to add yourself."

"I think every room should have a dressing table; it would be much more convenient."

"Yes, we definitely need to add a dressing table."

"I'll talk to Xiuying about turning the two upstairs rooms into a walk-in closet when I get back. Her family is in the construction business, so I feel more at ease knowing she's an acquaintance."

"The rooftop pool and the small garden at the back could also be decorated a bit."

"Okay, we can discuss it again when we have some free time."

"Hehe~ I'll use some of the unnies' cosmetics then."

"Go away, you can't use it."

"Ah~ Unnie~ Please let me use it for a moment~"

The voices of the eight people talking could be heard throughout the room.

Chen Yan watched them discuss, not interrupting, but smiling the whole time.

Finally, I have a real home.
