The Side Character Wants to Lie Flat-Chapter 48: I’m Sorry, It’s All My Fault

In a private room at the teahouse.

Hua Manman and Song Ding sat facing each other, with Si Yun standing dutifully behind Hua Manman.

Si Yun knew that there was something ambiguous between her lady and Song Ding.

She was therefore very nervous, afraid her lady would act foolishly and continue her entanglement with Song Ding.

Setting aside the fact that Song Ding was already engaged to Hua Qingqing, just based on Hua Manman being a married woman, she could no longer have any involvement with him.

Song Ding was clearly furious. The moment he spoke, his voice was sharp with accusation.

"We had a clear agreement. As soon as my mourning period was over, I was going to find a way to break off the engagement with your sister and marry you instead.

Why did you go back on your word? Why did you marry someone else behind my back?"

Some time ago, Song Ding had followed his uncle out of town to practice medicine. He had only returned to Shangjing three days ago.

To his shock, the first thing he heard upon his return was the news that the second young lady of the Zhong’an Bo Mansion had married Prince Zhao!

He thought he must have misheard and hastily asked for confirmation several times.

But no matter how many times he asked, the answer was the same—

Hua Manman was, indeed, married.

She had clearly promised to wait for him.

Why did she turn around and marry someone else?

Devastated by this major blow, Song Ding had moped at home for two days.

In the end, he still couldn’t accept this reality and ran out of his house.

He wanted to find Hua Manman and demand a clear explanation.

But Hua Manman lived in the Prince Zhao Mansion, which was heavily guarded. There was no way for him to get in.

He could only wander around the perimeter of the Prince’s Mansion.

Today, he happened to see Hua Manman leaving the mansion, so he followed her.

That led to the scene that had just unfolded in front of the pastry shop.

Hua Manman knew her ambiguous past with Song Ding was a hidden danger that had to be dealt with as soon as possible, lest it cause even greater trouble in the future.

Since Song Ding had come looking for her today, she decided to take this opportunity to make a clean break.

Hua Manman said seriously.

"I was young and foolish back then, which is why I said some foolish things.

If I caused any misunderstanding, I hope you can forgive me, Mr. Song. Please don’t take the foolish things I said back then to heart.

Now I am a married woman. There should be no more contact between us. Everything from the past is now smoke and clouds.

I hope you’ll take care of yourself in the future. Don’t come looking for me again."

Her words were so heartless that Song Ding nearly fainted from anger.

He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and stared intently at the beautiful woman sitting across from him.

"Foolish things? Do you think you can just dismiss me with a few foolish words?

You were the one who came on to me first! If you had no feelings for me, why were you so attentive back then? Were you just deliberately toying with me?!"

Hua Manman couldn’t refute it.

’The original owner of this body was so shameless,’ she thought. ’If you were so bored, why not just go lie down? Why did you have to go after your own sister’s fiancé?’

’And now look at the mess you’ve made!’

Hua Manman lowered her head and obediently admitted her fault. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"I’m sorry. It’s all my fault."

Song Ding demanded furiously, "At this point, do you think saying sorry is of any use?"

"I can offer you some compensation," Hua Manman said, reluctantly taking out her purse. She endured the heartache as she emptied all the silver coins inside. "This is all the money I have on me. It’s all for you. I hope this will make you feel a little better."

Song Ding was speechless.

’This woman is actually giving me money?’

’What kind of person does she take me for?’

’Do I look like some petty scoundrel who’s trying to extort money?!’

If Song Ding’s anger level had been at one hundred percent before, it had now shattered the limit and reached three hundred percent!

"Hua Manman, don’t you take this too far!"

Song Ding clenched his fist and slammed it hard onto the tabletop.

BANG!

The teacups on the table trembled violently, and tea splashed out.
