I still think Yunduo is having hots for Xiaoen. I'll explain why.
There is a scene with a glass of wine ( page 3 (chapter 30), last few pics):
Evening melancholy falls upon Peachtown. Xiaoen is gently buzzed by wine. She feels that evening melancholy and she talks about it.
In next moment, Yunduo tries to reach out to her. We can see her hand is moving toward Xiaoen, and she indeed says:"Xiaoen..." (romantically?)
But Xiaoen already made a sudden movement scraping the wineglass and Yunduo's hand changes direction, catching that glass (which is symbolically empty). And Xiaoen is already out of her reach....
I really think Yunduo tried to touch Xiaoen again (it's not the first time).
Glass moved after, not before her hand moved toward Xiaoen, so she was reaching to Xiaoen, not a glass.
I think she is trying to offer a physical comfort to Xiaoen. She knows Xiaoen is not in love with her to respond on emotional level, but she already used tactile "games" (like in a bakery, and Xiaoen somehow responded to her touch, feeling little ashamed (guilty?) realizing that Xingyuan is watching them)
Maybe Yunduo (with Xingyuan out of pic) indeed would have a chance with Xiaoen and become her lover. But she will never be love of her life, her soulmate.
And, Xiaoen is not a type who will be fulfilled with just a lover, she needs everything, because she gives everything of herself (all-in in all).
That's how I get her as a person, and how I understand the current situation. It's just my personal impression (with the explanation why I think as I said).
