7 Trust is an expensive Gift (Edited)

Qing Yun is very sharp, she had spotted the smile of Ling's lips and decided to tease her

" Xiao Ling, looks you will not spend more time with me anymore. It seems like you have a got a boyfriend already in this new city"

Ling was taken back and surprised by her comment

"Xiao Yun, Are you Jealous now dear"

"Me, No way ! But the smile on your lips is different. without putting me in suspense. Spit it out already"

"My God! Xiao Yun, You just cant stop your curious mind. Anyways that's just a guy i met in train few days back. He asked me for a coffee and i gave a positive reply, thats all!

"Really Ling, but why i am not able believe you. your smile looks like someone waiting to see their man kinda smile. anyway just be careful around and don't trust anyone so fast"

"Yun darling, you are acting like my mother Hen. I promise you that i will be very careful. moreover i m not a person who is going to fall into relationship so quickly. this is just a causal friendship. I m also aware that any relationship is based on Trust and My darling 'Trust is an Expensive Gift'. So dont worry.

Now quickly i will go home change into comfortable clothes and go for window shopping"

"Okay, I Believe your words, Call me anytime, even if its small matter" Qing emphasized

Subconsciously Ling seems to be taking a special place in Qing Yun's heart. Though she know her only for a short time, she feels very compatible with Ling. Since she rarely makes friends, Yun want to treasure Ling.

Without putting too much thoughts into her brain, Ling left work and rushed home to change. while changing her dress she realized, she never told him the time. Oh My God, What a fool I am.

She Quickly gave a call to Mingyu, He picked it up instantly

"Yes, Ling Whats Up" asked with the calm voice on the other end. However inside he was thinking what if she cancels the plan and ditch him. he was praying all the gods in the world.

" Sorry Mingyu, i forgot to mention the time to you. i just reached home to change. I will leave in 5 minutes from my place. i live near to my company HQ Shen industries, so its pretty closer for me. you come relaxed, i will wait for you. "

Shen Mingyu's heartbeat returned to normal. Never before he was nervous like this. He quickly collected his thoughts and said

" Ling, i m actually at downtown near Shen industries. Where do you live, Tell me i can pick you too. we can go by car and so that we can save some time too". he instant made some story to pick her up.

"Okay Mingyu, Come near the Children Park in downtown. I will reach there in 5 Minutes"

Mingyu replied okay and went towards the park. This girl is very clever, she doesn't want him to identify here house , so she is asking me to come to park. Very Clever

Before he received the call, he also changed his dress in casual one. He wore light blue regular fit jeans and Loose white sweatshirt along with white cap covering almost his face. He spotted her walking towards the park. He came out of the car and leaned on the car.

Ling saw him from far and her heart was flushed with different feeling. it was overwhelming for her. He was looking different from what she saw from train journey. Now in casual clothes, he looks extremely stunning and his features are so Sharp and handsome. Even in the loose clothes he was wearing, she was able to make out that, he has a well built trained muscular body. she had never felt that kind of feeling before. still she told herself not to show it outside, its still new to trust him even to be a friend.

so she told herself' Ling take it slow, Heart of mine, please listen to my brains and act accordingly'.

He opened the door for her , she slided herself in the passenger seat. He asked her what's the plan.

Ling told him her plan

" Mingyu I wanted to comp-Shop on five brands and their products. it might be boring for you, are you sure you want to join. "

(Comp shop is similar to window shopping but they study the projects & product in detail to understand customer and design needs)

"Ling dear, Just relax. let's get this done over faster, okay"

they both parked the car and went to shops one by one. Ling went and checked out the products, she collected all the details about the products from the info desk, ppl who are working there. she also spoke to few customers and asked their opinion as well. once she is out of the store, she noted down all her collected data on her small tab.

Mingyu was amazed to see her work. she was very systematic and organised. For a new employee, She was mature and professional in all her interactions of comp shop. She already made custom made forms on her tab and just enters data and move on next shop.

honestly Mingyu was not looking for a romantic getaway with her. He just wanted to spend time with Ling. he wanted to be part of her world. Unlike other girls she was not clinging to him. she refused when he offered to help as well.

By the time, She finished It was already 2 hours passed. Ling asked MingYu

"Mingyu, do you want to have a coffee, lets go somewhere relaxed and have a seat "

He was nodded his head okay and was about to suggest a place for coffee.

Lings phone buzzed with message. she was messaging back and few times. Finally she lifted her head and looked at mingyu hesitantly.

he was worried looking at her

"What is it, is there any problem, please tell me dont hesitate"

"Actually Mingyu, My Boss Qing Yun was supposed to go for comp shop as well, however she was held up at office due to enormous work from her boss. now i want to do her share of comp shop as well. "

"Oh Okay Ling, You must be tired roaming and collecting data for 2 hrs, let go for a quick coffee break and then you can continue. what do you say"

"Sounds Fine" Ling needed a break as well. late afternoon walk very exhausting

Mingyu excused himself and made a quick call to Jiang Yu.

"Jiang Yu, Are you trying to take revenge on me or something. i will come to office and take care of you. Why are overloading Qing with more work. Ask her to call ling and tell her to call it a day and do the rest in the morning. Do it right now"

"okay Boss, I will do that right away"

when he returned to Ling, she already got info from Qing and she was happily conveying to him.

Okay Ling, lets go to car, i will take you to a beautiful Cafe.

They both drove to the cafe Mingyu suggested.

Mingyu wanted to surprise her, He knows she is not materialistic person, so taking her to high end posh cafe willnot make her happy. He knows her very well. On the half way into the journey, he took a rope and blinded her eyes.

"Ling dear, dont worry i will not do anything to you. i just want to surprise you. Got it?"

She just nodded her head and said hmmmmm

when he parked the car and open the eyes

Ling was totally mesmerized with the Cafe. It was having a lush green outlook, looks more like a Garden Cafe. The Cafe was filled with different plants all over, the walk ways had stone pathways and all furniture were in pure white making it look so elegant.

he hook her slender hands in his and started walking towards the table he reserved.

Ling found this cafe surreal. the cafe is located on a small hill suburbs of city T. Since it was evening, Sun was setting on the west. the pavilion in the cafe looks she was felt sitting in air with Sun and Sky as background. the Sky was looking like it was painted with bright colors. she couldn't any words to describe, she just managed to say " Thank you Mingyu, Thank you so Much! i just Love it!" She forgot everything and started enjoying

Mingyu was very happy to see her like this. he kept quiet and was just looking at her.
