Ye Yunzi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

"Go and prepare the carriage," she said.

"Yes, sir." Yu Shu was quick and efficient. After combing Ye Yunzi's hair, she ran outside to hail the carriage.

After a while, Ye Yunzi stood in front of the gate of the Ye Mansion holding an oil-paper umbrella, and a carriage slowly drove in. She got on the carriage and headed for the theater on the bustling street of the capital.

Yu Shu followed behind her and murmured, "Miss, you really love to listen to opera."

Ye Yunzi didn't respond.

She lifted the car curtain and saw heavy rain pouring down. People were hurrying on the street, all trying to find a place to take shelter. The tranquility and beauty of a rainy day is special.

"Actually, I'm not here to listen to the opera... I'm waiting for someone." Ye Yunzi said softly.

Waiting for someone depends on fate. In her previous life, she met Dr. Tao by accident. It is not easy to meet him again in this life. If fate does not come, maybe they will never meet in this life.

Ye Yunzi lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes hid her slightly lonely look.

Yu Shu was full of curiosity, but she didn't know who the young lady was waiting for.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the theater.

Yu Shu jumped out of the car first and held an umbrella for Ye Yunzi. The two walked into the theater, which was very lively and the actors were performing their daily plays with all their might.

Ye Yunzi walked to her usual seat, ordered a pot of fine tea, and was about to sit down when she looked up and saw a gentle and elegant man.

The man was also looking at her with a smile on his face.

Ye Yunzi nodded slightly as a greeting.

After a long while, Ye Yunzi remembered what the nanny said, that the lady particularly liked the cakes she brought last time. The cakes were given by this young master, and she should ask where the cakes were bought from.

Thinking of this, Ye Yunzi stood up and walked towards where the man was.

"Master Hou."

"Miss, you and I are truly destined to meet. I didn't expect to meet here..." Ji Xin said with a smile. Due to his disabled legs, he couldn't stand up to greet Ye Yunzi.

"My Lord, I want to know where you bought the pastries you gave us last time. My mother likes them very much, and I want to buy two more boxes for her to try." Ye Yunzi stated her purpose directly.

She stared at the man in front of her. He exuded a noble aura and had elegant manners.

Standing next to him, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but felt particularly comfortable.

Ji Xin frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Ye Yunzi said quickly: "If it causes you trouble, forget it."

"It's not a problem." Ji Xin shook his head. "I lied to the girl last time. In fact, the cakes were not bought. They were made by the chef in our house. The chef came from Jiangnan and has superb skills. The cakes he made are sweet but not greasy. They are much more delicious than the cakes in the capital."

"So that's how it is!" Ye Yunzi was a little surprised.

"If the young lady likes it, I can ask the chef in my house to make some and send it to your house." Ji Xin was gentle and elegant, and his words were calm and casual, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.

Ye Yunzi didn't want to add burden to others, so she politely declined Ji Xin's kindness.

It was raining heavily outside, adding a bit of charm to the day.

The theater was crowded with people, some came to listen to the opera, and some came to avoid the rain.

Ye Yunzi looked towards the door from time to time, hoping that the person in her memory would appear.

But she stared for so long that her neck became sore, but she still didn't see the man.

Ji Xin's eyes fell on the stage and he asked casually, "Do you like to listen to opera, girl?"

"No." Ye Yunzi answered absentmindedly, "The person I'm looking for likes to listen to opera. I thought I could meet him again here, but it seems... it's all fate."

"I wonder who the girl is looking for?" Ji Xin looked at Ye Yunzi.

"A doctor named Tao." Ye Yunzi thought about it. She still remembered Doctor Tao's name. "His name is Tao Qiming."

Not far away, Shen Siyan covered half of his face with a fan and listened to their conversation silently.

When he learned that the Su Mansion had sent a carriage, he hurriedly followed, and it was indeed Ye Yunzi. Whenever it rained heavily, Ye Yunzi would come to this theater to listen to opera.

Unexpectedly, I met Lord Ji Xin of Wu'an Marquis Mansion here again.

The two chatted happily, and Ye Yunzi rarely smiled, her past indifference and alienation gone.

Shen Siyan felt a little upset. What was so good about an old man in his forties or fifties? Ji Xin was just an idle marquis with no real power. What did Ye Yunzi like about him?

Shen Siyan stared at them straightly, his brows furrowed and his face full of displeasure.

At this moment, a pale flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and Ye Yunzi calmly said that the person she was looking for was Tao Qiming.

"Tao Qiming..." A strange light flashed in Shen Siyan's eyes. The person Ye Yunzi was looking for was in his house. He couldn't help but smile, with the corners of his mouth raised, fanning himself leisurely.

The Dark Wind guard at the side was confused, he saw his master's face changing faster than ever, he was gloomy just now, as if he wanted to kill someone, but he became so cheerful the next second.

……

The play is over.

Ye Yunzi took one last look at the door and couldn't help but sigh.

"Yu Shu, let's go home." She stood up. She didn't wait for him again today.

Fate is something that cannot be rushed. When the time comes, I will naturally meet Dr. Tao again.

Ye Yunzi walked to the door and was about to open her oil-paper umbrella, but she found that the rain had stopped and the sky was clear blue.

"Miss, the rain has stopped!" Yu Shu said in surprise.

The gentle breeze brings a slight coolness, making it feel particularly comfortable.

Ye Yunzi suddenly said, "Let's walk around the street."

The two did not get on the carriage, but walked along the bluestone road. The street, which was originally deserted due to the rain, gradually became filled with the shouts of vendors, who were clearing the stagnant water. More people also walked on the street, making it very lively.

"Miss, look over there." Yu Shu pointed in a direction where a row of exquisite pearl hairpins were displayed. Several women were surrounding the stall to choose. After trying them on, they admired their new looks in the bronze mirror.

"Shall we go and take a look too?" Yu Shu suggested.

"Okay." Ye Yunzi was not very interested in the pearl hairpin, but seeing Yu Shu's eyes shining, she agreed.

They came to the pearl hairpin stall, and Ye Yunzi picked up a misty bronze hairpin. Although the material was not top-notch, the workmanship was excellent. She held the hairpin in her fair and slender hands, with a smile on her face, revealing a bit of tenderness.

"Miss, please try it." Yu Shu took the hairpin, stood on tiptoe to put it on Ye Yunzi, and then took a bronze mirror to look at herself.

"Look, Miss, this hairpin really suits you." Yu Shu exclaimed.

Ye Yunzi looked at herself in the mirror and turned left and right. Her exquisite hairstyle and hairpin added a bit of charm.

"Not bad." She nodded with satisfaction. Just as she was about to put down the bronze mirror, she caught a glimpse of a figure beside the mirror out of the corner of her eye.

She stopped, turned her head slightly, and looked not far away, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
