Chapter 1557 - I Am Not Afraid (1/2)

Wen Shan was quiet in Nalan Chunbo’s arms. The painkiller was starting to take effect so she felt much better and leaned on Nalan Chunbo’s shoulder calmly.

Nalan Chunbo gently rocked her and murmured, “Silly girl, you still have me around. How can I let you suffer?”

Wen Shan was no longer crying, but her body was still trembling slightly.

“I won’t delete my thesis,” Wen Shan said through gritted teeth. She would not be moved in this.

She understood Nalan Chunbo’s good intentions. She also knew that he really cared about her and wanted to protect her from online backlash. However, she was aware that if she deleted the thesis, although it could prevent netizens from attacking her in the first place, other people might suspect that she was acting fishy even if they managed to prove that Professor Yin plagiarized her thesis later.

Only a guilty person would delete it.

Nalan Chunbo frowned. He knew how hot-tempered Wen Shan could be, but it was not the right time to be stubborn.

“Shan Shan, I know you feel you’ve been treated unfairly, but—”

“I’m not afraid of being scolded, but I won’t delete it. If I take it down now, people will praise me for correcting my mistake. However, I did nothing wrong here!” Wen Shan protested, growing agitated as tears welled up in her eyes.

Yes, Nalan Chunbo’s intention was indeed to prevent her from being criticized.

However, Wen Shan was more mature than he thought and she knew what she wanted.

It was him who always regarded Wen Shan as a child, as no parent would wish for anyone to say anything bad about their children.

They always did their best to give their children a completely safe environment for them to grow up happily.
