A Noble Marriage

Penchant www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update on the latest chapter of Noble Marriage [Anna]!    Tanya insisted on saving a large portion of the birthday cake for Karenin.

Tauri told her daughter that her aunt did not have a sweet tooth.

The little girl's eyes were wide open, somewhat unable to believe it.

"No one can dislike sweets!"

She surreptitiously slipped the cake to Anna and whispered, "Did aunt make a mistake?"

Before Anna knew it, the little girl stood on tiptoe and asked softly in her ear, "If he makes a mistake, can you punish him next time?"

"Because," she said, standing still, her little hands twisting the folds of her skirt.

"Because it's my birthday."

"Birthdays can be forgiven for anything can't they?" Tanya bit her lip, not sure she would be agreed with that statement. But she felt that Aunt Karenin was a good man, that he respected her very much. He didn't think less of her because she was a child, he really was a good man in a strange way!

Anna finally understood what Tanya was thinking. She knew she had misunderstood, so whether to continue to let her misunderstand, or patiently explain to her, between these two choices, Anna decided to accept Tania's good intentions.

"He will eat. Of course he will, because you're so cute." Anna stroked Tania's soft hair, then kissed her little hand again.

"Tanya has a heart of gold."

Tania was too young to understand Anna's metaphor, but was subconsciously a little worried, "Mommy says you can't swallow the gold."

Anna listened and laughed. She changed the metaphor.

"Tania is as pretty and sweet as a little angel."

Tania understood, and she happily accepted the compliment.

In the evening, when Karenin and Sikhova came back together from outside, Anna told Karenin about what had happened during the day. She brought out the cake, saying, "You can have a bite, and I will eat the rest for you."

Karenin was not a sweet person, and cakes like this were not his cup of tea. Anna wanted Karenin to feel Tanya's feelings, but didn't really want to force Karenin to swallow something he didn't like, hence the above suggestion.

But Karenin refused.

"I'll finish it." He said. Then sat down, and after looking at the piece of cake for a while, ate it slowly.

Anna sat next to him, with her hands on the table, and looked at her husband with a little smile.

"I'm a little jealous of Tania." She joked.

"You're not." Karenin poked at her.

Anna didn't care, resting her left hand on her cheek while admiring the man intently eating his cake under the light, and asking, "Is there no way for a man to say no to a woman?"

Karenin stopped moving for a moment and replied, "Mostly yes."

Delighted, Anna came a little closer and asked, "Well, among those who are not, is there a man named Alexei Alexandrovich Karenin?"

Kalenin did not answer immediately, nor did he blush, he gently scraped a bit of cake with his clean right thumb, and then wiped it on the corner of the mouth of the woman who was completely unaware of the danger still close to him.

The scent of cream made Anna freeze for a moment, and before she could react, a kiss was already imprinted on her lips.

"Is it good?" The low, mute voice still rang out with a faint smile.

Anna's face was a red mess.

****************************

The next morning, Anna looked in the mirror for the fifth time, but not to see her face or her hair, but, rather, to see her teeth.

She lifted her hand and gently touched the spot.

There was a pain.

She took a deep breath, which could no longer fool herself.

When Karenin came out of the lavatory, he saw Anna sitting over the dressing table, and, hearing his footsteps, turned his head, looking grave.

"I have to go and see my teeth."

Karenin listened, paused in his tracks for a moment, then picked up his pace and came over.

He stood in front of Anna.

Lifted his hands. Holding Anna's jaw with his left hand, he slid his right hand gently over his cheek.

"Let's see." He said.

A little embarrassed, Anna skimmed her face slightly and cooed in a small voice.

"You're not a dentist."

Kalenin looked like he wasn't going to give up and said, "No, but I've more or less learned about it."

"Why would you want to know about that? Your teeth are fine and you don't have a sweet tooth." Anna almost complained a little. She found that this body, while not resembling her original body, had the same not-so-great teeth. She suspected that it was brought on by her own sweet tooth. Not to mention the fact that she had eaten cake during the day yesterday and had "eaten" quite a bit during the night.

Karenin looked at her and smiled faintly.

"For my nephew."

Anna choked a little, but she saw Karenin's smile and was relieved again. She tilted her head slightly and opened her mouth for Karenin to see her teeth, which were aching vaguely.

Karenin's hand looked over her teeth, and his right hand slowly stroked past his cheek. Although it was summer, Karenin's hands were not the type to sweat easily.

The clean scent left on the skin after the soap lathering drifted through Anna's nose from the close touch.

Although the head is tilted, but this is not at all the same as kissing. In front of her lover, she always had to worry at first whether she looked a foolish face with her mouth wide open, but later on, with only concentration and no teasing inside Karenin's sight, Anna's mood calmed down.

Her head was flicked so that it fell in the most appropriate light to be able to see the whole mouth clearly.

Karenin's long eyelashes seemed to wiggle in front of Anna's eyes, making her heart itch a little to touch them. But then a stinging pain made her give up this idea and instead subconsciously made a pain-eating face.

Karenin dropped her hand.

"Not so good." He said, "Go to the dentist."

He pulled Anna up and handed her the going-out hat.

"Are you coming with me?" Anna asked.

Karenin nodded. He had nothing particularly pressing to do at the moment, and as for the official papers he was scheduled to deal with, he could move them back a little.

"And the official documents ......," Anna wanted to ask, but she didn't say it. She smiled and accepted the concern from her husband, she was sure she could always handle it.

***********************

Seryozha was left in Tauri's care, and the little one didn't cry, just fluttered his limbs to show he wanted to be back in his mother's arms.

Anna touched his fingers and arms and kissed his cheek, telling him to behave.

Seryozha still didn't look too happy.

He grimaced and grunted and pouted, trying to change his mother's decision to leave him alone. But unfortunately, that didn't work.

Anna lamented to Karenin in the carriage.

"When he grows up he won't be so clingy to me!"

"Children are like that." She said slyly, as if she were already an old mother who had raised several children.

Karenin looked at his wife's young face, and got some kind of pleasure in his heart, but did not move his face.

The next time, Karenin observed that Anna's words became more, and, he slightly lowered his eyes, there was a little smile - she did not do certain intimate physical contact as usual.

Before he met Anna, Karenin always had a clear idea of the boundaries between people. If not necessary, he thought it was most comfortable to keep a certain decent distance between each. But after marriage, this line was always wiped and wiped. It was as if there were two little people doing some kind of tug-of-war.

The serious Karenin villain always seriously told the pink and still soft Anna: "I think we need to make certain rules between us."

"Ah, sure." That's what that little Anna said.

Karenin then decided that the creature was harmless and could communicate. So he opened the first gate and allowed this creature, who was completely different from himself, to enter.

Then the soft creature began to tour inside his castle with great enthusiasm. She told him that his castle was very beautiful.

"It will compliment people without being obnoxious." The little Karenin man became even more satisfied with this soft creature. So for the first time he generously invited the other into his inner chamber, and he introduced her to those things about him, and the latter listened with great interest, and then suddenly she blinked and pointed to a passage and said that she wanted to visit there.

There?

Kalenin villain froze, he did not immediately agree.

There was a place he did not want to show to others, a place that belonged only to him. But that soft thing just did not give up, but also all kinds of close to him, with her soft fingers touching the back of his hand, with that sweet voice to his whisper and request, and finally just when he hesitated, she simply took his hand, like a master of the natural lead him into the place. And when Karenin reacted, he realized that the original somewhat cold room seemed to have more spring flowers, summer shade, autumn fruitfulness, and winter fire like.

So, the room for two people is like this.

No, not for anyone, but ......

only her, yes, just because of her.

Karenin lifted his own hand, clasped the hand that was still unconsciously fiddling with the mat underneath, patted it a few times, and then covered the whole palm with it.

He said, "You're scared, aren't you?"

It was a question, but Anna saw the look of certainty already inside Karenin's blue eyes. She blinked, then nodded.

"A little." She said, licking the corner of her mouth again in embarrassment at the sight of the other woman.

"A lot."

"I don't like it." She admitted.

"I don't think anyone would like it." Karenin tapped her finger again.

Anna smiled, knowing it was a comfort that belonged to Karenin. Although, she knew she seemed to be treated like a child.

Her eyes grew bright again, with a little mischief.

"Are you mistaking me for Seryozha? Dear Alexei."

"We'd better not let this happen to Seryozha." Karenin said in a calm tone, "Based on this lesson, I think we should control Seryozha's intake of sugar."

"He's so pathetic, he's probably a little sweet-tooth like me." Anna feigned her own concern for Seryozha's future life of sugar control. For Karenin, perhaps a strict father, did not have that assumed desire to talk about his child's future education and seemed quite patient.

"You don't think a sweet tooth will undermine his majesty as a man later on, do you? Alexei."

"I don't think so." Karenin denied.

He raised his eyes slightly and thought for a moment: "I hope that Seryozha can become a person with a sense of responsibility. And a person with a sense of responsibility, and his appearance and habits do not have much to do with. He can certainly have a sweet tooth, but I hope he can be moderate. 'Moderation' is not a bad word, not only in terms of dietary preferences, but also in all aspects of life."

Once again, Anna was satisfied by the fact that Karenin had such a unique idea inside this era.

"You're so nice!" She said with some pleasure, rejoining him affectionately, "You'll be a good father."

"If you ever doubted that, I have to confess that you were right." Karenin said in a hushed voice.

Anna looked up at him with some surprise.

Karenin looked down and met her eyes with a rather pleasant expression.

"In my few imaginations, I knew I had to teach him to write regular script, nice talk, basic social movements, and to find him the best teacher. That was quite a lot, but I forgot that before that, he had a period," Karenin paused, seemingly gauging Seryozha's size in the air with his memory, "a period when he was this small."

"Obviously, he can't learn anything yet."

"This is the time when he has to rely on us." Anna said with a smile.

"Yes. I can't ask a baby to follow rules or maintain proper manners at all times. It takes a little time to adjust to a father's pattern of caring for his child, and after all," he lowered his voice, "I'm a first-time father."

"Me too. First time mother." Anna placed her hand on the back of Karenin's, and she smiled, then gave a small twist of expression, then was happy again.

"Look, Alexei, we've been good parents."

"No matter what time of year it is, we always come around to talking about him."

Karenin looked at his wife with confidence and also felt relieved. Although he was fearless in his work, he was not as comfortable as he thought he would be in his life, in the changes that came with this marriage. Like, from being a competent husband, to being a husband who loves and respects his wife, and from being a husband, to being a father. In the future, there will be more changes that will accompany them, even if that is not in their vision, but as long as they are with her, life will always be with happiness.
