The Side Character Wants to Lie Flat-Chapter 54: Plastic Sisters

Han Zhenzhen’s face flushed red, and she was so furious she stammered, "Y-You... how could you say that about me?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Hua Manman deliberately mimicked the innocent expression Han Zhenzhen had just worn, asking with feigned ignorance.

"Did I say something about you? I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Han Zhenzhen: "..."

Hua Manman: "Did I do something wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Han Zhenzhen felt a lump rise in her throat, leaving her unable to speak. She nearly choked on her own anger.

Si Yun wanted desperately to laugh. ’My lady’s acting skills are incredible!’ She had perfectly captured Han Zhenzhen’s feigned innocence.

If the setting had been appropriate, Si Yun would have given Lady Hua a round of applause.

Hua Qingqing, who was already a short distance away, stopped in her tracks. She turned and called out to her younger sister.

Hua Manman and Si Yun hurried to catch up.

Hua Qingqing glanced back at Han Zhenzhen, who was stamping her foot in a rage, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

"Manman, what did you do to her? How did you manage to get her that worked up?"

Hua Manman lifted her chin and said smugly, "We had a little acting competition. Turns out, I’m a better actress than she is."

At this, she didn’t forget to glance back at Si Yun.

"Isn’t that right, Si Yun?"

Si Yun nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes! My lady’s acting is incredible!"

Hua Qingqing sighed. "Han Zhenzhen is a very calculating person. You shouldn’t provoke her for no reason."

Hua Manman huffed. "My business is none of your concern."

Hua Qingqing looked like she wanted to say something more, but the memory of the slap from her sister made her feel sullen, and she swallowed the words before they could escape.

Neither sister spoke, and the atmosphere grew stiff.

The Zhong’an Bo Mansion and the Prince Zhao Mansion were in opposite directions.

They parted ways at the intersection.

Hua Manman took a packet of pastries from Si Yun and held it out to Hua Qingqing.

"Here."

Hua Qingqing was rather surprised. "This is for me?"

Hua Manman turned her face away, deliberately avoiding her gaze. She pouted and mumbled.

"I accidentally bought an extra packet. I can’t finish it all anyway, so I’m giving it to you. Don’t think this is an apology for hitting you last time. I would never apologize to you!"

Hua Qingqing: "..."

Seeing her sister’s awkward, stubborn act, the last of the sullenness in Hua Qingqing’s heart vanished.

It was pointless to dwell on the past.

’At least right now,’ she thought, ’my little sister is really cute.’

Hua Qingqing accepted the oil-paper packet of pastries, her smile gentle. "Actually, I should be thanking you. If you hadn’t told me the truth, I might still be completely fooled by Song Ding."

Hua Manman huffed, "I don’t want your thanks. It’s not like I said all that for your sake."

Hua Qingqing was completely charmed by her sister’s adorable antics.

She couldn’t resist. Her mischievous hand shot out and quickly pinched her sister’s cheek.

By the time Hua Manman reacted, Hua Qingqing had already pulled her hand back.

"I’m heading back now. Let’s get tea and a meal together again sometime."

With that, she scurried off.

Hua Manman clutched her cheek where she’d just been pinched, her pretty eyes wide with shock.

’She actually launched a sneak attack!’

’That’s a dirty move, sis!’

Si Yun remarked with genuine feeling, "You and the Eldest Miss get along so well."

Hua Manman remembered slapping Hua Qingqing not long ago, and she couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt at Si Yun’s words.

’According to "Palace Intrigue," our sisterly relationship is supposed to be faker than plastic!’
