Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Warm sunlight filtered through the window behind him, brightening the neat room filled with paperwork and books. It also brightened the man's mood, who shed a sigh of relief for finishing the documents early, even though he had to stay up all night.

Xiao Long, who finished his work deliberately early and intended to visit his awoken wife, felt elated by the new feeling sprouting in his chest. When Xiao Luan still lay on the bed, he despaired like his daughter, but as the family he was, he must not fall.

He had something in his hands to deal with, even if he had to act cruelly. Days turned to weeks and then went to years with no improvement in her condition.

The days he spent were so bleak without her laugh and warmth, which always soothed his tired heart in between his busy work. Of course, he had other wives to comfort him when he was sad. Still, all of that fell in comparison to the woman Xiao Long had ever courted himself, not because of the family tradition but because of a fateful encounter he had.

With vigorous spirit in the morning, he abruptly stood up from his seat, and then, at the same time, the door in the room opened, making his face contorted in a frown.

"Sorry for the sudden intrusion, My liege, but I have some report to inform".

His adjutant, Xiao Fang, comes directly undisturbed even as he is being glared at, holding a piece of paper.

"Leave that for later! I must go to my wife to ensure she is healthy".

Xiao Fang stopped in front of the desk office and looked at his lord weirdly. Yesterday, he saw him being close to his wife until the day turned dark, ignoring his own work.

However, once he looked at the finished document, he saw that the work that had already been finished was piled up in a well-organized manner, giving him a mixed feeling as to why he wasn't always this serious about work.

"I am afraid your effort will be meaningless".

"Ha? WHat do you mean?".

Xiao Fang presented the paper in his hands and slid it to his lord's side to show that it was a permit. Feeling curious, Xiao Long began to look into the content, only to find himself stiffened for the permit before him; his wife's name was on it, and so were the others. "...I-Impossible, b-but why? Where is she going?".

In the paper, there is a word that caught his attention: shopping.

"Shopping?".

"Yes, Xiao Rui's adjutant who stayed here delivered this paper a moment ago".

"Then there is still time for me to join in!".

"No, they are already gone as the paper has landed on me".

"!?".

With a new destination in his head, Xiao Long hurriedly moved away from his desk and walked toward the door before the cruel words from Xiao Fang made him stumble and fall. However, Xiao Long abruptly sprung up within a few moments and turned to look at his resigned adjutant.

"Then, let's ask Xiao Rui's adjutant where they will go. I want to join them".

The door opened with a bang as Xiao Long walked briskly, full of vigor, giving Xiao Fang a slight headache.

"Fuuh, forget it! Let's return to my own work!".

Meanwhile, on the other side of the place, there is Xiao Bai, who holds a wooden basket filled with cloth. She was facing Xiao Yin, who intended to visit the house to say hello to Xiao Luan but ultimately received baffled news as her eyes widened on the spot.

"Eh, they are gone!?".

"I am afraid, yes. They are planning to have a shopping trip with everyone".

"I see".

Xiao Yin looked toward the house, and indeed, she couldn't feel a presence at all except for the girl before her. She contemplated, but upon hearing no news from her master, it seemed the matter could be put on hold for a moment. "Right, the time was still young. I hope he will come back in the evening so that it could be the perfect present for her master to taste him at night. As for that commoner Xiao Luan!".

At first, she was disturbed by Xiao Luan's awakening, but after being told by her master, she was calmed and began to plot another scheme in the place by taking a jar filled with medicine her master had given her.

"Well, I can visit another time. Here, some medicine to help your master".

"Eh!? Thank you very much!".

"I will take my leave!".

Seeing the lady leave, Xiao Bai lowered her torso to make sure that no one else was present.

"...".

She straightened her posture and then turned to look at the jar in her hands while sighing in a tired manner.

"Fuuh, another suspicious-looking medicine, huh".

Even though she looked like a regular girl, Xiao Bai had already realized a while ago that the medicine that Xiao Yin often gives is not medicine at all.

"Well, as usual, I will store it in the warehouse".

*****

"Welcome, Soma and others".

Lin Fan bowed his torso slightly to greet Soma and his family, who had just arrived at the Lin family's place.

"Thank you for welcoming us, Lin Fan".

Soma hurriedly stood in front of him and began to urge the boy to have level eyes so that they could talk comfortably.

Unlike the Xiao family's house, the Lin Family's house was a mix of modern and ancient heritage architecture, creating a balanced contrast that perfectly amplifies both eras. This gave Soma and the others awe when they looked at their surroundings.

"Oh my, thank you for welcoming me, Family head, Lin Fan. My name is Xiao Luan. I happen to have a history with your mother".

After realizing the person he had dealt with, Lin Fan's eyes were slightly bloated as he recalled the woman named Xiao Luan being bedridden. However, as she caught the sight of Soma, his stirred heart calmed down, and he nodded understandingly then and welcomed the greetings with parted lips.

"I see, thank you for visiting this place. We welcome you all".

With that, Lin Fan began to escort the guest himself as they bypassed a white-paved road with a vast garden on each side. Many subordinates greeted their young lords as they tended to their fields.

They walked into small bridges with a man-made stream flowing below them. It stretched far away and seemed infinitely circling the place. The clear and glittering water that presented before them opened their eyes wide in amazement, for they saw a fish swimming competitively, trying to escape the gaze of the human above the surface.

Instead of bringing them into the ancient living space, Lin Fan brought them into a circular space. In front of it, there was a white mansion, and several people were awaiting their arrival.

"Oh, I didn't think to see an old friend would be here".

A beautiful woman wearing a deep violet Hanfu welcomed them with a mysterious gaze as she scanned the guests. Her straight raven hair cascades to her bosom, while her face is lightly make-up to look fresh. She stood tall at 170 cm with a slender body.

"Oh my, Please. We are not that old. It's been a while, Huang. I heard we had the same problem."

"Huhu,,, indeed we have. It's been a while, Luan".

Lin Huang chuckled before she descended the stairs one by one and then pointed her gaze at Soma.

Each 'clink' from her heels brought her steps closer to Soma, and then she stopped and stood slightly before him.

"Soma, am I right?".

Her clear and firm tone, plus the sharp gaze she directed at Soma, made the hair on his body stand up. He never saw the woman being mentioned in the story, only a glimpse of it hearing Lin Fan's monologue, but from what he caught, it seemed she was a strong and strict mother.

"Yes!".

Lin Huang straightened her posture and lowered her head ninety degrees, causing the other guests to stiffen in shock.

"Um, what is this all about?".

Soma feigned ignorance and opened his mouth, making Lin Huang smile for a bit and straighten her posture.

"...I thank you from the bottom of my heart".

"No, everything was just a cause and effect. It was such a coincidence when Lin fan and I…".

"Even so, not only do you give such precious drops of Elixirs, but the most important thing is not to let my son walk away on the wrong path. As his mother, I am deeply indebted to you. So, Thank you very much."

Once again, not only Lin Huang but all of the people from the Lin family bowed their heads in gratitude, making the situation heavy and awkward.

"Okay, I accept your gratitude so please raise your head. I am feeling uncomfortable receiving this!".

Lin Huang straightened her posture, followed by others, as she lifted the corner of her mouth, feeling immense relief for his son to meet such a wondrous boy.

"Well, it was bad for a guest to wait long outside, Why don't we enter first!".

As soon as those words escaped Lin Huang's lips, a loud 'boom' blasted away a quarter of the mansion, and a terrifying roar that shook the atmosphere resonated, making the world succumb to fear.

"Gyaaaa!".
