CHAPTER 985: CHAPTER 983: SULFURIC ACID

Sun Wanqi didn’t notice the change in Lu Xiaobu’s smile, she just leaned closer to him and asked, "Go on, why did you stop talking?"

Lu Xiaobu leaned back: "I’ve been out these days, without a lap pillow, and it’s quite uncomfortable!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wanqi’s face instantly showed a trace of displeasure: "Get out!"

This Lu Xiaobu is too much, how dare he ask her to be his lap pillow?!

What does he take her for?!

One of those women by his side?!

What a joke!

She had no plans to develop any relationship with Lu Xiaobu!

"Then what if I tell you, I also know why they are doing this?" Lu Xiaobu said leisurely without moving.

"What?! Are you saying it was intentional?!"

Sun Wanqi’s anger towards Lu Xiaobu immediately vanished!

She wasn’t stupid, she understood the implications in Lu Xiaobu’s words.

"That’s right, and if nothing unexpected happens, the next few events will be like this." Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

"Tell me, why?!" Sun Wanqi asked urgently.

She didn’t want to truly become the target of scorn!

Honestly, she didn’t have the mentality like Lu Xiaobu of staying firm despite opposition from countless people!

"Lap pillow?!" Lu Xiaobu glanced at Sun Wanqi with a sly smile.

"Fine, I promise you!" Sun Wanqi agreed immediately: "But you have to tell me first!"

Now she couldn’t care less about that!

After all, aside from being a bit lecherous, Lu Xiaobu was trustworthy, and she believed he wouldn’t talk indiscriminately.

"No problem."

Lu Xiaobu nodded and started to explain slowly: "Actually, it’s very simple, their goal is to provoke the hatred of the Japanese towards you, and towards the Heavenly Dynasty! So, next, they will try every means to make you look extremely vile in the eyes of the Japanese!"

"Why would they do this?! I came over for a charity event because they were affected by a disaster!" Sun Wanqi’s brows knitted tightly: "In the end, not only do they not support me, they even set me up?!"

"A charity event?! To ordinary Japanese people, it might be a good thing, but in the eyes of the Japanese officials, you are even more heinous than I am!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled, "We are kind of in the same boat!"

"Who is in the same boat as you!? Hurry up and tell me why exactly?!" Sun Wanqi was really anxious!

After all, what Lu Xiaobu said was truly frightening!

She actually became someone more detested by the Japanese government than Lu Xiaobu, who burned the Jingguo Shrine?!

"It’s simple, now the Japanese officials have only one goal — to rebuild the Jingguo Shrine!" Lu Xiaobu’s expression turned serious:

"What? They want to rebuild the Jingguo Shrine?!" Sun Wanqi’s pupils widened instantly!

That place of evil, they actually want to rebuild it?!

Now, she somewhat understood why Lu Xiaobu disguised himself to come to Japan!

So that’s what it was about!

Then she immediately asked: "But how does being scolded relate to this?!"

"Let me explain slowly." Lu Xiaobu stood up, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and continued: "I burned the Jingguo Shrine, which to ordinary people is just an excessive act, but to the Japanese officials, it was like tearing off their face! You can imagine how much they hate me!"

"That I understand, but why do they hate me even more than you?!" Sun Wanqi asked, still puzzled.

"Simple, I only tore open their face, but they can still have a chance to mend it back! But you are different! You came to bring antiseptic medicines to the ordinary people while also dripping sulfuric acid on them!" Lu Xiaobu chuckled.

"Sulfuric acid?!" Sun Wanqi was shocked by this word: "Isn’t making everyone happy good?!"

"Good for everyone, except for the Japanese officials."

Lu Xiaobu shook his head: "You made the Japanese people happy, they would no longer hate the Heavenly Dynasty, and thus wouldn’t support the Japanese officials in rebuilding the Jingguo Shrine!"

"So in the eyes of the Japanese officials, the Japanese people must hate the people of the Heavenly Dynasty! The more hate, the better!"

"If everyone hated enough to gnash their teeth, they could easily rebuild the Jingguo Shrine!"

"So tell me, aren’t you, who brings happiness to everyone, the one pouring sulfuric acid on the Japanese officials?!"

"Outrageous!" Sun Wanqi was furious immediately: "Has Japan gone mad?! Are they trying to provoke conflict between the two countries?!"

"Why not?!" Lu Xiaobu sneered: "Do you think given how their officials used to pay homage every year at the Jingguo Shrine, do you think they are afraid?!"

"I’m going back! No more performances!" Sun Wanqi said furiously.

"It’s no use, if you leave, they will be even more free to act!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

"Then I’m going to help those victims now!" Sun Wanqi hurriedly said.

She was just a singer, she didn’t want to get involved in these schemes!

"It’s no use, they will say you’re pretentious." Lu Xiaobu once again poured cold water on Sun Wanqi.

"What should I do then?!" Sun Wanqi was truly anxious!

"Lap pillow, let me take a nap, and I’ll tell you when I wake up!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

"You! You’re taking advantage! Bastard!" Sun Wanqi said through gritted teeth.

"How is this taking advantage? You clearly agreed before!" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow: "What, are you planning to back out from the start?!"

"I!" Sun Wanqi was choked!

She did intend to renege at first!

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaobu saw right through her!

"Alright then! Come!" Sun Wanqi said, gritting her teeth: "But, no funny business allowed!"

"Absolutely ojbk!" Lu Xiaobu shrugged.

Getting Lu Xiaobu’s agreement, Sun Wanqi bit her lip and sat down on the sofa.

At this moment, her whole body was stiff!

In her impression, this kind of extremely intimate gesture was always something only between husband and wife!

After all, this lap pillow, just think about what it really looks like?!

A guy’s head rests on a girl’s lap; how far is the guy’s head from the girl’s private place?!

But now, an esteemed Queen of Heaven like her actually had to perform this gesture for Lu Xiaobu!

It’s simply, simply, too shameful!

But she had no other choice!

The things Lu Xiaobu mentioned were too terrifying, she might end up being hated by an entire country, or even internationally!

She had to be afraid!

After all, she didn’t think she could deal with the power of a country!

But there was one person who could!

And that person was Lu Xiaobu, who could toy with an entire country with his own strength!

She needed his help!
