"Do you really mean what you said? This is not a joke, right?" Li Qiang was beaming as he looked at her, the light in his eyes not dimming.
"When have I ever told a lie?" She laughed as she gazed at him. For some reason, she felt compelled to reveal the truth to him.
That might help him understand why she wanted vengeance.
"Li Qiang, I have to tell you something," she said, interrupting his celebration.
"What exactly is that?" He asked with a serious expression. He assumed she was about to reveal a big secret to him based on the serious expression in her eyes.
"Promise you will not shout or be surprised, and you will keep this a secret; I am telling you because I believe you can be trusted," she said, playing with her hair.
She was obviously nervous. She was not lying when she said she trusted him, but she was worried he would think she was crazy.
"I will listen to everything you say; just say it," he declared solemnly.
