Fighting Against the Odds: I Am the Right Path

And this gorgeous woman is none other than the eldest princess of the Gama Empire and the future heir to the throne, Yao Ye.

"Yue'er, do I have to wear this to the dinner?"

Yao Ye's face was full of confusion. The feeling of being restrained by the long skirt and unable to move freely made her extremely uncomfortable.

How should I put it? Yao Ye, who has been in the army since he was ten years old, is really not used to this outfit. He always dresses based on the convenience of combat. Yao Ye can't believe that the person in the mirror is himself.

Haven't you ever dressed like this for any dinner party you attended before?

Yaoyue, who was originally looking at her sister with satisfaction, frowned in displeasure when she heard her question.

"What are you talking about? You are the eldest princess of the royal family. You should dress like this for important occasions like dinner parties. Grandfather compromised before just because he didn't want to upset you. As the future queen, it's time for you to get used to it."

Hearing his sister say this, Yaoye frowned in distress. Yaoyue raised her hand and waved lightly, then gave instructions to the maid.

"Take the princess to take a seat. The other party should be here soon."

"Wait, Yue'er, can you at least tell me who will be at the dinner tonight?"

"You'll know right away."

Yaoyue said lightly, which made Yaoye very helpless. He had to follow the maid to the banquet hall specially prepared for tonight.

Due to the restrictions of the dress and high heels, Yaoye was unable to walk like normal, so she had to reach out and lift up her skirt. However, she was stopped by Yaoyue after taking just two steps.

"Put your skirt down. Who walks with a dress in their hands?"

"But this"

"I've already told you that you should get used to it and stop being willful."

After Yaoyue said this, Yaoye's face became even more bitter. She reluctantly let down her skirt, slowed down her usual pace, and followed the maid in small steps that were not her usual pace.

Looking at Yaoye's departing back, Yaoyue gently raised her little hand to her chin, with a hint of surprise in her red pupils.

She really didn't expect that her sister, who had been in the army since childhood, could dress up so beautifully, and there was no sign of her leading troops at all.

And when compared with his previous heroic and bold image, the contrast is even greater.

Thinking of this, Yaoyue's lips curled up slightly.

Even the rather serious Xiao Yan would be moved by this.

At this time, a maid slowly came to Yaoyue.

"Princess Yaoyue, Master Xiao Yan is here."

"please come in."

"Yes."

After a while, the maid brought Xiao Yan to Yaoyue.

Seeing Xiao Yan, who seemed a little restrained following the maid, Yaoyue's red pupils suddenly lit up.

This outfit really improved Xiao Yan's appearance a lot. Although the clothes Yaoyue sent him were designed according to Xiao Yan's image, Yaoyue never expected that it would be so suitable.

And the hair tied up at the back of his head, just simply standing upright at the back of his neck, adds a lot to the overall image. At first glance, Yaoyue really thought Xiao Yan was a nobleman from a big family.

"Princess Yaoyue, good evening."

Xiao Yan came in front of Yaoyue and bowed respectfully to her. Yaoyue came back to her senses and smiled faintly.

"Xiao Yan, thank you for responding to my sister's invitation." Yao Yue turned to the maid and said, "Take Xiao Yan over there."

On the other side, Yao Ye, who had arrived at the banquet hall earlier, had already taken his seat. After the maid left, he looked around the banquet hall with a puzzled look on his face, and finally fixed his eyes on the empty seat opposite the table.

Originally Yaoye thought that the dinner party Yaoyue mentioned had invited many people, but now it seems that there is only one person besides himself?

Somehow, Yao Ye felt a little uneasy in his heart, and his mind started to wander.

Looking at the candlesticks on the dining table, the specially made scented candles exude an alluring fragrance, making the air seem to be filled with a romantic atmosphere.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in Yao Ye's mind, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Wait, could it be that Yue'er found a blind date for me from somewhere?

It’s no wonder Yaoye thinks so. Xingtian has mentioned this to her several times, but Yaoye refused every time on the grounds that she was busy with the army.

How should I put it? Yao Ye seemed to be very disgusted with blind dates. Talking about marriage with a man she had never even met was something Yao Ye could not accept.

By the way, it must be.

Yao Ye nodded affirmatively.

Since Great Grandfather couldn't handle it himself, he asked Yue'er to arrange it for him.

The more he thought about it, the more confident Yao Ye became. He snorted coldly, and his nervousness and uneasiness disappeared in an instant.

Yao Ye immediately relaxed completely, throwing away the elegance she had just tried so hard to maintain, leaning casually against the back of the chair, lightly lifting the hem of her skirt and crossing her legs, one arm lightly resting on the back of the chair, and with the other hand picking up the wine bottle on the table, filling her glass with wine.

Then, I waited quietly, having made up my mind in my heart.

Wait, no matter who it is, when Yaoye comes to the table to greet him, he will directly pour the wine on his face!

Although this move might anger the unknown man, in order to prevent Yaoyue from doing the same thing to him again next time, he had to do it once and for all to deter Great Grandfather and Yaoyue from having similar ideas again.

"It's here, please come in."

coming!

Hearing the maid's voice coming from outside the door, Yao Ye's eyes flashed, and one hand had already clenched the goblet.

Let’s see who dares to propose to me after this!

Yao Ye's eyes were fixed on the slowly opening door, and his hand holding the goblet was getting tighter and tighter.

When the door opened, the first thing that caught my eye was the maid who opened the door, and then a man following behind the maid.

Seeing that handsome man, Yao Ye instinctively sneered.

Haha, it is true!

It seems like I have to pour out this wine today!

The next second, Yao Ye seemed to feel something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man carefully.

Wow~~~It’s really handsome, and it looks good at first glance.

Yao Ye thought so and then sneered.

But I'm sorry, I don't have any plans to get married now, so you have to be the victim.

Then Yao Ye frowned in some confusion.

Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before?

Yao Ye felt that this man was very familiar, but he could not remember his name.

Just as Yao Ye was thinking, the maid stood by the door and whispered respectfully to the man.

"Mr. Xiao Yan, please take a seat."

After hearing the maid's words, Yao Ye suddenly felt as if the clouds had cleared and the light had opened up.

Ah~~~ So that's it, it's Xiao Yan. I was wondering why I felt like I had seen him somewhere. I couldn't recognize him at first glance when he was dressed like this. It turns out he looks so handsome when he dresses up seriously.

Yao Ye nodded in understanding.

But no matter who it is, I will pour this wine today. Huh? ! !

Xiao Yan? !!!

Yao Ye, who was originally immersed in the anger of his sister plotting against him, suddenly came back to his senses, sat up straight abruptly, and immediately put down his crossed legs. His whole body was tense, and his eyes were fixed on Xiao Yan who was slowly walking towards him.

Yaoye's brain was obviously overloaded at this moment.

No? Xiao Yan? Why Xiao Yan? Why did Xiao Yan come? Was it Yao Yue who found him? Or was it Grandpa?

Just when Yao Ye's mind was in a mess, Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ye in surprise.

To be honest, Yao Ye's appearance was not outstanding among the women Xiao Yan had seen, but this outfit was so different from her previous bold image that Xiao Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

But, well.

After all, Xiao Yan had experienced the baptism of Yao Chen's stunning beauty, so he quickly came to his senses, slowly walked to Yao Ye's side, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to her respectfully.

"Your Highness Yaoye, thank you for your invitation."

"Huh? Ah yes."

Yao Ye nodded woodenly, with a forced smile on his face instinctively, and his already confused mind became even more confused because of Xiao Yan's words.

My invitation? Who? Xiao Yan? I invited him? When? I forgot?

Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ye who was standing there in a daze and raised his eyebrows in confusion.

"Your Highness Yaoye? Are you okay?"

"Ah? Oh, it's okay. Please take a seat first."

Yao Ye came back to his senses, forced a smile and asked Xiao Yan to take a seat.

As for the plan to throw away the wine? I don't know where I threw it!

After Xiao Yan took his seat, the maid at the door came to the table and picked up the wine bottle. She then looked at the opened bottle with some confusion, and her eyes looked at the goblet filled with wine in front of Yao Ye.

Did His Highness Yaoye fall?

But after all, she was a royal maid, so her quality was there, so she didn't ask too many questions. She came to Xiao Yan's table with a normal expression and poured wine into his glass. Xiao Yan also nodded in thanks.

Then the maid gently placed the bottle of wine on the table, turned back to the door, and bowed respectfully to the two of them.

"You two, please use it slowly."

After saying that, the maid turned around and left, closing the door gently. Only Xiao Yan and Yao Ye were left in the banquet hall, sitting at the table, looking at each other.

Looking at Yao Ye who was staring at him, Xiao Yan felt a little nervous for some reason and asked weakly.

"Um. His Highness Yaoye?"

"Hmm? Ahem."

Hearing Xiao Yan's gentle call again, the storm in Yao Ye's brain finally stopped. He coughed twice with some embarrassment, forced himself to regain his usual calmness, and asked softly.

"Xiao Yan, you just said thank you for my invitation?"

Yao Ye really couldn't remember. He totally couldn't remember when he had invited Xiao Yan.

There was a hint of doubt in Xiao Yan's eyes.

From what Yaoye said, it seemed like he didn't know that I was invited?

But the letter signed by Yao Ye has been delivered, the dress has also been delivered, and Yao Ye has already dressed up carefully and is waiting, so there should be no problem.

"Here is the invitation you sent."

Although thinking so, Xiao Yan still took out the letter, stood up and handed it to Yao Ye.

Yao Ye looked at the letter that Xiao Yan handed over, was stunned for three seconds, then raised his hand to take it, opened the envelope and silently read the letter inside.

Soon, Yao Ye's face became darker and darker, and her shoulders were shaking slightly.

Hmm. Angry.

Finally, Yao Ye clenched the letter into a ball, his eyes burning with rage!

Moon!!!!

Xiao Yan didn't recognize the handwriting, but how could Yao Ye, who had watched Yao Yue grow up, not know? ! This letter signed by herself was clearly written by Yao Yue herself! ! !

This girl is really outrageous!!! How dare she pretend to be me?!!!

As Xiao Yan looked at Yao Ye, whose anger had almost materialized, he couldn't help but shrink his body and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

Did I do something wrong? Why is Yaoye suddenly so angry?

After a long time, Yao Ye's anger gradually subsided and he looked at Xiao Yan who was sitting across the table.

Even if Yaoyue made the invitation under his own name, Xiao Yan had already arrived. It would be useless even if the truth was revealed now.

Let's get through this banquet safely first, and we'll settle the score with Yaoyue later.

And if the target is Xiao Yan, Yao Ye can accept it.

Even deep down in my heart, there is some barely perceptible joy.

Thinking of this, Yao Ye breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Xiao Yan.
