A Noble Marriage

Penchant www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest updated noble marriage [Anna] latest chapter!    This is the anti-theft chapter This is the second time Anna took a train in this era.

The first time everything was moving too fast and in a bit of a hurry, but now, although the schedule was still very tight, she felt as if there was no point in the face air when the water molecules swept through the nasal cavity.

This subtle sense of touch all comes from her husband.

Like now, in this small box, Anna looked at her husband.

He was sitting a little more casually than at his desk, but he still looked decent compared to the average person, always maintaining the appearance of a government official.

"Do you have any questions? Anna." Karenin took his eyes off the papers and his blue eyes looked at Anna.

"No." Anna smiled a little.

Karenin moved his eyes over his own official papers again, and he still felt someone's eyes glued to him until five minutes later.

"Are you sure there aren't any questions?"

"No." Anna finished and then spoke again, "Maybe there is one."

"You can ask." Karenin's fingers pressed on the page and lifted his head slightly. He spoke in a calm voice, with little rise and fall in tone, without sounding hard, perhaps because his blue eyes under long lashes were gazing intently at someone else, and that gaze was not tinged with scrutiny.

"I noticed you're not wearing glasses."

"I'm not nearsighted."

"I," Anna licked her lips and then smiled a little coyly, "I was just thinking about what it would be like if you wore glasses."

"I don't think that would make any difference." Karenin lowered his eyes, indicating that the conversation was over for the moment.

Anna felt some regret.

She looked out the window and rested her right hand on her cheek.

It had been two hours since they had left Petersburg, and the rolling hills, which at first had been exciting, were now somewhat flat.

The sky was a pale blue, against which some birch trees stood up like sentinels, inconspicuous now, but in spring they would be lush and green and beautiful.

She unconsciously folded her hands and turned her face sideways, smiling while knocking at the bland light.

Accustomed to the busyness of modern society, life was a little overwhelming at first, but now, everything is fine.

What Anna didn't know was that despite her decision not to disturb her husband, it was clear that Karenin himself was no longer able to concentrate.

His head was slightly tilted in Anna's direction, and his high nose was cut by the sun in a delicate and elegant curve. The eyelashes were not thick or curled, half closed, revealing a light blue inside as the sky.

He looked at his fiancée for a long time, knowing that the other seemed to be asleep.

Karenin got up and draped a facecloth blanket over Anna's body.

He sat down for a moment to make sure Anna would not wake up, before moving his eyes again and concentrating his thoughts on his official papers.

Anna had no idea how long she had been asleep; she awoke to a gentle shaking.

"Did I fall asleep?" She tried to rub her eyes, but was stopped.

Karenin took out his own handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Dr. Grachov told me to do this to reduce my chances of being approached by the disease."

Anna took the paddle and wiped her eyes and smiled: "He's right, you have a good doctor, he's great!"

Karenin said nothing to the compliment; he looked at the time on his pocket watch, then put down his official paper and said, "We have to go to lunch."

"Very good suggestion, I'm just hungry." Anna approved of the suggestion, and Karenin nodded and cheered up a bit.

The dining compartment on the train was in the middle part of the train, and the aisles weren't big enough for two adults to walk side by side, so Karenin walked ahead, and some parents would hold the hands of their small children to keep the little devils from wandering off.

Anna is not a child. Naturally Karenin is not the kind of person who would take someone's hand at will either, but he did say as he got up.

"Follow me."

Like honey, Anna thought, and followed behind the other man.

Because Karenin wasn't short and his shoulders were broad, Anna couldn't see all of what was in front of her as he stepped forward.

Some of her past experiences had made her a little nervous and anxious about this unknown, but now, with a trusting person walking ahead, she found the unknown not so frightening.

They came to the middle of the train, where not many people were yet dining.

Anna knew that Karenin had not suggested this time of day by chance, but perhaps he had already gotten used to it and figured out the most appropriate time to dine.

"What would you like to eat?" Karenin asked.

In fact, this kind of place does not serve too much variety, but Karenin's behavior makes people ignore this.

Anna ordered what she liked, and paid attention to what Karenin ordered, secretly making a mental note of it.

When lunch came up, Anna took a bite and it was not delicious. She looked at Karenin and frowned slightly as well. This can not be blamed on anyone, the ingredients are innocent, the chef is also innocent.

Anna thought Karenin would simply discard the unappetizing lunch like the rich people did, but Karenin didn't.

He let his brow relax and relax, still slowly and calmly cutting the food on his plate. Then he looked up at Anna and asked, "Is it not to your liking."

A great feeling of emotion swept over Anna.

It came from Karenin's lack of pride in his approach, and as a wife, Anna felt a sense of pride. It was as if someone had said, "I don't know what I would do if the man I loved was a criminal, but I would be proud of the man I loved if he was a man of high moral character."

"No." Anna said with a smile, enjoying her food just as much.

She lied, the lunch itself didn't taste good, but the titillation made up for it all. As they returned to the box a little later, Anna informed Karenin of the truth.

"Now what else would you like to eat?"

Karenin didn't ask anything else first, but focused more on the actual question.

"I'm full now." Anna said pleasantly.

Karenin nodded, then said, "If you don't like it, you don't have to push yourself, Anna."

"But you're not wasted, Alexei." Anna pointed this out in a soft tone, "That is a very good quality."

"The deliciousness of the ingredients does matter, but for me, the practicality of the food itself is enough to satisfy me. For me, continuing to eat this lunch doesn't change anything, but for you to continue to eat them on the basis that you don't like them, it becomes something that will affect your mood."

This serious wording of Karenin made Anna bend her eyes with laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" Karenin frowned in some confusion.

"Because you said sweet things." Anna said with shining eyes.

"No matter what, it doesn't change the feeling that I think what just happened wasn't bad but good."

"If you think so, fine." Karenin nodded again, then took out his official document. Once again Anna sighed inwardly.

In the afternoon Anna didn't stare at Karenin anymore, she took a book out and read it slowly. At about three o'clock, a waiter from the dining car knocked on the door of their compartment.

When the clean table was set with a still delicate and delicious tea, Karenin pushed the piece of cake in Anna's direction.

To make up for lunch.

"You don't want it?" Anna asked, dimples already emerging at her cheeks.

"No."

Karenin said succinctly. He picked up the cup of black coffee that belonged to him, and Anna only glanced at it before pulling her eyes back.

"I need a bite of cake to keep me down."

The bitterness of the black coffee contrasted sharply with the sweetness of the cake.

"Is it good?" Karenin asked.

"Delicious." Anna nodded honestly, "It's not a lie this time."

Karenin nodded his head to show his understanding.

With the unique aroma of black coffee and the sweetness of cream, Anna decided to be a little more honest.

"Don't you want to touch me?"

Karenin's sipping motion seemed to freeze in mid-air before he set down his coffee cup, rose and crossed over the tabletop, over the space on Anna's side, and asked, as his fingers gently touched the other woman's cheek, "May I?"

"Yes."

Anna's eyelashes moved quickly, but the words were firm.

The kiss was a little bitter and a little sweet, and Anna took it into her heart and gave it a great place.

How to undress gracefully in front of the one you like?

Anna ...... did not think about this. And more importantly, after uttering the words and proceeding to the actual steps, her husband ...... didn't seem to have thought about it either - how to gracefully peel off your wife's robe.

"I think I'll let Annushka take a look for me." Anna coughed then said.

"No need."

Karenin stopped her and then he coughed as well.

"I hope you don't mind."

"I... I don't mind." Anna said a little dryly, her fingers resting there on the strap of her robe, which she still didn't untie for a long time, perhaps the reality was always a little more cruel than the ideal.

"I still call Annush ......"

Before the words hit the ground, Anna's attempt to turn around was stopped by Karenin.

"No need." Karenin said again, his right hand took her wrist, warm and hot, compared to Anna's delicate skin, Karenin's fingers had a bit of a thin callus on them, gently rubbing the skin of her wrist in between swirling movements.

"I don't want you to call your personal maid." Karenin said.

Anna felt as if her heart was pounding, and then she could only look down and say it again.
