Chapter 14

At first, Anna was a little nervous when she heard Karenin say this, but after a while, when she understood it, the uneasiness turned into a smile. Finally, when she went back, she giggled.

"What's the matter?" Karenin looked at his wife in disbelief.

Anna reached out and took each other's little arms and said softly, "she likes you."

"That Madame de Marelle."

Anna was a little surprised to see Karenin, but soon recovered.

"You don't have to worry about it, Anna."

"That's not true, Alexis. If a wife doesn't mind at all that a woman is liking her husband, I think it must be because she doesn't care about him."

"Madame de Marelle is elegant, beautiful and intelligent. She has qualities that every man loves. She is a perfect model." Anna calmly stated the fact, and then looked at Karenin to get his reply.

"It's true, but it has nothing to do with me. There are all kinds of people in the world, and there are many more perfect than you and me, but that doesn't mean that we need to change something about it

Karenin's face was calm and indifferent. Although he had no idea of Mrs. Yude malelle's love for him before, but now he knew it, he did not avoid it or show any joy. No matter how good the world is, it has nothing to do with him. What is in front of us is where we cherish.

But these words are too sentimental, sincere also appears to be vulgar, lost precious.

"I like it when you tell the truth so seriously. It's sweet." Anna whispered, pinching each other's pinkie with her fingers. The intimacy made Karenin's muscles tense for a moment, and then relaxed again, because his little wife was leaning against his shoulder.

"I don't think it's proper to be out there." Karenin said.

"Oh."

Anna, sit down a little bit.

After a while, Karenin's calm voice came again: "but I think it is allowed to hold hands now."

Then, a white and delicate hand, moving fingers, gently rubbed each other's big hand, and then was wrapped in the palm.

Outside the carriage came the sound of Mr. Binoche coughing.

In the evening, Anna was ready to fall asleep contentedly on a pillow that was not very soft but warm, but obviously Karenin was still the one with clear organization and good memory, and liked the end of the day.

"The happiness of the two, Anna, we haven't discussed it yet."

Karenin was sitting at the desk reading a book. When Anna came out of the bathroom, he raised the question again.

Anna laughed, almost dancing to Karenin, standing in a cheerful position, bending slightly, and saying, "I like to see you jealous."

His wife's hair was close to Karenin's skin, and his nose smelled with water vapor.

Karenin returned to the problem.

"It's not jealous, it's just a question." He said.

"Husband and wife should be honest with each other. If you ask me, I will tell you everything. "

Anna stood up straight, giggling and playing with her fingers around her curly hair.

"You can't ask me to be honest with you in everything, Alexis. If so, life will always be boring. A woman without secrets is unattractive. " She said so on purpose, and winked her eyes with a feigned charm.

"You are charming." Said Karenin in a low voice.

Anna stopped for a moment, and after a moment she said dryly, "I was referring to Mr. de Marelle, who, though not clever, could see that he was a good man."

"You don't have to worry about him, Anna." Karenin said, "if you want serious arguments, Mr. de Marelle's achievements today are partly due to the reputation accumulated by his ancestors and the other half by his wife."

"Yes, but obviously his wife doesn't like her husband. She likes you better."

When Anna said this, Karenin felt a little uncomfortable, as if it was his fault.

"I don't know." Once again, he said, he recalled whether there was anything inappropriate in his conversation with Madame de Marelle.

Karenin regarded marriage as very sacred and solemn. Although he lived in this circle, he always kept clean.

In his opinion, once married is a lifetime thing, only God and death can separate husband and wife. To fall in love with another person in a marriage is really puzzling.

"All in all, Anna, your happiness has nothing to do with the happiness of Mr. de Marelle. If you insist, as a wife, your happiness should be related to me. "

Anna looked down at her husband's lip line, which she would not curl up in a solemn statement, and came to a happy conclusion that he was jealous.Instead of answering her husband immediately, Anna gave him a kiss on the forehead.

"My God, I'm so happy!" She said brightly.

"You're right, Alexis."

Anna gave affirmation and praise, but she was laughing in her heart.

Karenin felt a little strange. His words were affirmed by his wife, but he felt that he wanted to cover his forehead in a defensive way.

It's not supposed to be the place where the wife kisses. For a grown man, kissing on the forehead is not supposed to happen.

When a man is a boy, he can get this kind of kiss, which means comforting, loving and joyful. But when he grows up, he can get it again, just like a grown-up man playing coquetry on his mother. It's shameful.

Karenin stood up and whispered, "I'm going to wash."

Anna looked at the figure in a hurry and blinked her eyes suspiciously. But soon, she was singing and dancing for joy.

In the next half month, Karenin's work was not so busy. They went to many places together. Surprisingly, Karenin was very good at explaining. He knew a lot about landscape and painting.

"I didn't know you liked art."

"I don't like it." Karenin denies that they are standing under an oil painting "sleeping bridge at night". Everything is in a deep sleep, only a ragged mother is still awake, softly humming songs, coaxing her children.

"My job requires me to know a lot of knowledge and talking is part of my job."

Anna nodded. She liked that one could work hard for work, even though he was never interested in it.

"She is a good mother, maybe poor, but she takes good care of her children." Anna sighed, with a little water in the corner of her eyes.

Some parents in this world may not be so responsible, but on the whole, great parents still make up the majority. Like her mother, she gave birth to her, but did not raise her properly.

At that time, she was less than 12 years old, and her mother took her abroad, but she didn't care much about her. She needed to live to earn bread. It was a hard time, and if she didn't pay attention to it, she would degenerate.

There is only one simple word to support her. For a person who has nothing like her, she should treasure herself. Life's hard won't let an optimistic person have no turning over day, she has always believed that, and now she is right.

Karenin looked at his wife, who seemed sad by some unknown emotion, but soon became hopeful again.

The words at the edge of his mouth were gently swallowed by Karenin.

"Yes." Karenin responded. Blue eyes are also fixed on the mother and son in the painting, but in fact, the creator of the painting has secretly told him that this is a death.

"The people who really hate to see death, but they don't like it when they see it."

The eccentric painter showed the painting only to his friends.

Karenin did not tell his wife the truth. In the past, he did so to protect his friends. Now, it is a more pure reason.

Some things he knows, if he cares about people with light in their hearts, then he does not mind accompanying her to look at the better world.

"I'm a little too emotional." Anna took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, a little embarrassed.

"That's not a bad trait. One needs compassion and empathy, which is terrible without it. " Said Karenin calmly.

"People with conscience may do wrong with good intentions, but people without conscience will only become cold thugs."

Anna looks at Karenin and smiles.

"I've had some bad things before, but now I think it's worth it."

Karenin looked at his wife and spoke slowly.

"I have the same idea."

Anna took Karenin's arm and continued to listen to him explain other paintings. The voice was quiet and the tone was not too fluctuating. His explanation was professional, but not too boring. The tall nose is as straight as his man.

Anna remembered that the other day she had declined a tea party hosted by Madame de Marelle, and that the next day, she had been invited to a cafe on the Champs Elysees.

In the king's coffee shop, Madame de Marelle praised Karenin's reason and rigor in handling affairs, and praised Karenin in the scope of etiquette.

"Your husband is a rare and intelligent man. He is outstanding and has a bright future. He needs to participate in more social activities, which is very helpful for his future

Mrs. de Marelle suggested that Anna should not use her shallow little daughter's mind to interfere with a clever political official. Because she sent out several invitation, but was politely refused by Karenin. There had never been such a thing before, so Madame de Marelle naturally thought it was Anna who said something. After all, women's intuition is always the most accurate.Anna looked at the lady de Marelle carefully. Her blonde hair was very attractive and her eyes were amorous and intelligent. She has a woman's unique charm, but there are many women lack of intelligence and means.

Anna could not blame Madame de Marelle for talking only about her. But such a smart woman has only one problem, possessiveness.

Smart women also mean greed, not just the desire of others for her beauty, but also their own desire for smart people. As long as she finds such a goal that she can devote herself to, so-called, they are from the same world, then this kind of intelligent woman will become stupid and want to devote everything to the success of this man.

No surprise, if Karenin was the kind of intelligent person, he knew how to make use of this love and let himself harvest more resources. But Karenin is not an ordinary man, he is a strong man.

"My husband is a stubborn man. He doesn't like to take apples from others. He likes to climb on his own. I don't think anyone in the world knows him better than I do. " Anna replied with a smile.

The beauty of Lyle faded, and now she knew nothing about it.

"Madame de Marelle did not really love him."

"What she loves is nothing more than a mirage that she imagines herself. Because of a little appearance, she believes that Karenin will be the kind of person she thinks she is. She loves and adores him now only because of his intelligence, calmness and the ease of his superiors. "

"She took him as a man who was addicted to lust and attracted him with beauty and wisdom, but she never wanted to really understand him. It's a hunt, and Madame de Marelle just wants to win. "

Anna wakes up from the memory of that day. Karenin has already explained everything. He takes her out.

"I heard that there is a very good restaurant nearby. You can eat on the balcony. The maple trees outside will become beautiful in autumn."

"But it's winter, and the essence of the meal should be the food itself, Anna."

"What does that matter? I like to eat in beautiful scenery." Anna said with a smile, holding Karenin's arm.

"Then go." Karenin nodded slightly and agreed to the sudden proposal.

Anna looked at Karenin's side face. From the top of her eyebrows to the tip of her eyebrows, she crossed her blue eyes and slowly moved towards the high bridge of her nose. Finally, she put her pen back on her pale pink lips.

Such a face, too calm, facial features prominent, when it is really frightening.

Before she got married, her sister-in-law, Tao Li, had revealed to her that people like Karenin were too serious and harsh. If they got along with him, they would make people tremble, just like they were afraid that they would make mistakes carelessly in the next moment.

Anna can now defy her husband.

"Though he is not funny enough and a little too rational, he is not a man without intention. On the contrary, he has the most delicate and soft feelings in his heart, so that he can understand the minds of others. This should not be the experience of a politician. It was deeply hidden in his heart long before he became a bureaucrat. "

"A man who works hard for Russia, for his work, should not be blamed. As a wife, I think I should find out more of his advantages, rather than join in the criticism of his shortcomings from the perspective of others. "

She looked at her husband with a soft look, and the latter, perceiving her gaze, retorted softly, "Anna, don't look at me like this. Don't forget that I'm the older of us."

Anna chuckled, moved closer to Karenin and held each other firmly in her arms. She said in her heart:

"Alexis, the world loves your cleverness and wit, but I only love your clumsiness and jealousy."
