Chapter 333: The First Impression of Failure

```

"Mr. Tao, you've arrived."

Qin Yan had no inkling that his address was improper and approached with a lazy gait, greeting Tao Jingxi with a frivolous tone: "My adoptive father just mentioned you. After the dinner, please sit with him in the study."

"All right, I got it." Tao Jingxi nodded indifferently, glancing towards Yan Xiaye, "I'd like to sit here for a while longer. Miss Yan, you don't have to stay and keep me company."

Yan Xiaye stood up promptly, as there was no way to explain her relationship with Qin Yan to outsiders. She naturally put on an air of business as usual, bidding farewell to Tao Jingxi before following Qin Yan towards the center of the banquet.

Using the chaotic conversation of the guests around them as cover, she whispered a small complaint: "This is bad, I can already imagine how Tao Jingxi will think of me from now on..."

A woman with loose morals probably wasn't enough to describe her current dual identity.
