After Filming a WLW Movie With My Straight Girl Crush 75

Chapter 75

Because Xu Ling rarely got nervous, she could tell that every time she did, it was related to Qin Cong’an. But who would have thought that she would be like this when seeing her own family, especially since they had seen each other several times in the past few days?

In the past, the big events in the eyes of outsiders were just an experience for Xu Ling. It didn’t matter if she didn’t do well, so her mentality could be very relaxed.

But at this moment, it was different. Xu Ling was too eager for a good result. She hoped her family would like Qin Cong’an, and she also hoped that Qin Cong’an wouldn’t feel uncomfortable in her home.

She was very confident about the former, but a little unsure about the latter, even though Qin Cong’an had said it was fine if it was her family.

Xu Ling’s house was in a high-end villa district, far from the hustle and bustle. As soon as the car drove in, it felt quiet. Lush branches and leaves surrounded the road, trying to purify the car exhaust.

After getting out of the car, Xu Ling looked at her own house and was so scared she didn’t dare to go in alone. She quickly went around to the other side and linked her arm with Qin Cong’an’s.

Qin Cong’an stood firmly on the ground and wasn’t dragged into the house by Xu Ling. “We have to get the things.”

“Oh, I forgot.”

“And you say you’re not nervous?”

Walking to the trunk, Xu Ling laughed a couple of times. “This is my house. How could I be nervous?” She reached out to hold the flowers in the trunk.

“Then why are your hands shaking?”

“…The flowers are too heavy.” Xu Ling picked up the flowers, took a deep sniff, and relieved her anxiety.

Qin Cong’an looked at her and shook her head, comforting her, “It’s fine. 99% of the things you’re worried about won’t happen.”

Xu Ling immediately replied, “So there’s a 1% chance? That’s a high probability! Do you know what the probability of my grandma’s aneurysm rupturing was? It was 1%!”

Qin Cong’an looked up at the sky, for a moment unable to refute.

“Kiss me, Qin Cong’an. A kiss might make me feel better.” Xu Ling held the flowers and moved closer, still muttering to herself, indirectly admitting her nervousness. “You have magic.”

She had even said the word “magic.” How could Qin Cong’an not cast a spell on her?

However, a very flustered “ouch” interrupted the spell.

Xu Ling’s mother had heard a car drive in and thought it was her daughter and Qin Cong’an. She came out with her husband to greet them. The trunk was open, and she didn’t know if the things would be many and hard to carry. As soon as she walked over to help, she saw them about to get very close, which scared her into taking a step back and stepping on her husband’s foot.

Xu Ling was also quite scared. She looked at her parents’ faces and quickly explained, “I, I was letting her smell the flowers!”

“Mhm, smelling the flowers.” Her mother nodded frantically and held out her hand. “Let me smell them too.”

Xu Ling handed the flowers to her mother, so embarrassed she wanted to crawl under the car wheel. But she was too big. Not only could she not crawl, but her flushed face was also abnormally obvious. If she had known, she would have covered her whole face with concealer today.

“Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle.” Qin Cong’an greeted the two of them as if it were their first meeting, her tone very formal and calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

“Hello, Little Qin,” her mother said with a smile. “You bought so many things.”

“Yes. There should be a lot of people at home, right?” Qin Cong’an looked at the cars parked in the garage and outside the courtyard and felt that many relatives had come. “And Grandma has just been discharged from the hospital. She also needs more nutrition.”

Qin Cong’an had consulted a professional and had bought the recommended items, from internal to external, to provide emotional value, not a single one missing, as complete as could be.

She acted calm, but in reality, she had done a lot of research behind the scenes. The next step was to learn all the knowledge related to aneurysms.

“You’re so thoughtful.” Both parents were very moved. They had never had any requirements for their daughter’s partner. As long as their daughter liked her, it was fine. And yet, this daughter-in-law was so outstanding and so thoughtful. As expected of their daughter, she had good taste.

There were indeed a lot of people at home. One was to see Grandma, and the other was to see Xu Ling’s girlfriend. Among the people who came were also children, her cousin’s daughter. The little girl was very shy and hid behind her father, just staring at the beautiful auntie.

Qin Cong’an had never experienced such a lively scene under one roof. In the past few days at the hospital, she had met this relative and that relative separately. Only when everyone was gathered together could she feel what a big family it was.

Actually, her family also had a lot of relatives, but they never visited each other. For as long as she could remember, she had never experienced the feeling of a small family, let alone a big one.

Qin Cong’an had already memorized everyone’s face, name, and relationship with Xu Ling. Besides calling Xu Ling’s parents “Uncle” and “Auntie,” she called everyone else what Xu Ling should call them.

Everyone also responded with a smile, as if they were treating her as a member of the family. This feeling was really wonderful.

Seeing that the atmosphere was very harmonious, Xu Ling gradually felt at ease and ran to play with Jinjin.

“Jinjinbao, do you remember Little Auntie?” Xu Ling skillfully made a cross-eyed face at Jinjin, and even puckered her lips together, her eyebrows also squeezed together.

Jinjin laughed out loud. “I don’t remember—!”

“What about this?” Xu Ling changed to a funny face, baring her large teeth like a groundhog.

“I remember—” Jinjin pounced into her little auntie’s arms. This was their secret code. Only after making the right funny face could she be hugged.

Xu Ling picked up Jinjin in one go. So heavy! Good thing her training had paid off. She could even pick up Qin Cong’an, let alone a child.

“Wow! So high! Jinjin is scared!” Jinjin was both scared and liked it. When she was less than a year old, she had loved to be picked up and held high by her little auntie. Now that she was three or four, she knew to be scared.

“Then how about the new little auntie holds you? The new little auntie is shorter.”

“Are you being polite?” Qin Cong’an had only been called petite when she was with Xu Ling. She was indeed ten centimeters shorter than her, but she wasn’t short. Xu Ling’s family wasn’t all as tall as her. Some of them were of average height.

Jinjin glanced at Qin Cong’an, then turned her head and buried it in Xu Ling’s embrace, as if she didn’t want her to hold her.

“Look what you’ve done to Jinjin.” Xu Ling patted Jinjin’s back. “Don’t be scared, don’t be scared. Little Auntie An An isn’t fierce at all.”

“Don’t slander me. Jinjin isn’t scared of me,” Qin Cong’an defended herself.

Jinjin shook her head in Xu Ling’s arms like a rattle.

“What do you mean?” Xu Ling was puzzled.

“The new little auntie is too beautiful,” Jinjin said in a very small voice. She was already very shy, and this little auntie was too beautiful. She just wanted to watch from a distance.

“Are you being polite? Am I not beautiful!” Xu Ling held Jinjin up and looked at her fiercely.

Jinjin knew that her little auntie wasn’t really angry. She giggled and hugged her tightly, afraid of falling. Qin Cong’an stood opposite and also held out her hands to protect her, in case Xu Ling ran out of strength. A child of this age was not light.

“Qin Cong’an, you have to make a funny face. Otherwise, Jinjin won’t dare to let you hold her.” Xu Ling was indeed getting a little tired of holding her. Her stamina was poor, and she wanted to quickly hand her over to Qin Cong’an.

It was the first time she had heard such a request, as if she had to complete a task before meeting the boss.

But Jinjin was very cute and was looking at her with an expectant expression. Qin Cong’an had no choice but to silently think for a moment and then made a funny face, combining the expressions Xu Ling had just made, a cross-eyed groundhog.

It really did scare Jinjin. Her eyes widened in terror, and she immediately turned her head and buried it in Xu Ling’s embrace.

“…” She never wanted to coax a child again.

Xu Ling almost died of laughter. It was the first time she had seen such a defeated expression on Qin Cong’an’s face. This person rarely couldn’t hide her emotions.

In the end, Qin Cong’an still got to hold Jinjin. As soon as she was held, Jinjin refused to let go.

The new little auntie’s height was suitable, and she held her very steadily, and she was also fragrant. Jinjin was so happy she couldn’t close her mouth. She would even kiss the new little auntie’s face from time to time, both shy and proactive.

“They really are a family.”

When they went to Grandma’s room, Jinjin also refused to let go and wanted Qin Cong’an to hold her, so they went together.

When Grandma, who had woken up from her afternoon nap, saw the three of them come in, she bloomed into a smile. “How do you look so much like a family? So good, so good.”

Xu Ling was a little embarrassed. It was Jinjin who answered first, “We are a family.”

“Yes, yes, Jinjin is right.” Grandma sat on the bed, took Jinjin, and looked at Qin Cong’an, her smile full of satisfaction.

“Hello, Grandma. I’m Qin Cong’an.”

“I know, I know. I’ve seen your romance movie,” Grandma said with an “all within my expectations” expression. “Honestly, I actually saw it coming!”

Xu Ling didn’t believe it. “That’s just hindsight.”

“Hey, how can you say that? Don’t I know you? The way you looked at Little Qin, I just knew!” Grandma said, and even predicted what Xu Ling was about to say. “Don’t say it was acting. I’ve seen the behind-the-scenes footage too.”

Xu Ling suddenly wanted to crawl into a hole again. Could it be that Grandma was also shipping their CP? That was a little too progressive.

But what Grandma had said might actually be true. After all, during the New Year, her sharp eyes had even seen that Xie Jing and Qin Cong’an had some similarities. How had she not thought that they were siblings then?

“Thank you for taking care of our Little Bao,” Grandma said, taking Qin Cong’an’s hand and smiling. “I heard from them that you also came when I was in the hospital this time, and helped out. It must have been hard for you.”

Qin Cong’an shook her head. “Not at all.”

“Little Bao must have been so scared. You must have given her a lot of strength.” What Grandma had hoped for was to have such a person by Little Bao’s side when she was helpless.

Xu Ling slapped the bed. “Of course I was scared! Grandma, you have to live a long life, okay!”

“Okay, I promise you. Isn’t it fine now that the tumor is gone? My health is so good.” Grandma took Xu Ling’s hand again and brought their hands together. “Then you two also promise me that you will always be together, okay?”

Xu Ling glanced at Qin Cong’an and suppressed the curve of her lips, nodding.

“I promise,” Qin Cong’an promised very seriously. “I won’t disappoint Grandma.”

Jinjin sat on the bed, swinging her legs. She didn’t fully understand aging and death, and had never even heard of what was mainstream and what was outside of it. She just clapped her hands at this scene and smiled very happily.

Qin Cong’an supported Grandma, who was still a little unsteady, downstairs. When she saw the gazes of everyone, for some reason, she felt a little like crying. She wasn’t a crybaby. Objective pain didn’t seem to make her want to cry, but when she was happy, her nose would sting.

Everyone’s concern, taking care of each other, was like a dream. Xu Ling had grown up in such a family. She had felt a lot of love.

During dinner, Qin Cong’an even noticed that there was no ginger on the table, at least not the ginger itself. The whole family was paying attention to this seemingly insignificant little detail.

“Little Qin, eat more. Get more food. If you can’t reach, just tell us. Don’t be shy,” the person next to her said with great concern.

But where had she seen this “shyness”? Qin Cong’an glanced at Xu Ling. She had said she was embarrassed that day, and it seemed her family had taken it seriously.
