Under the moonlight, Karenin saw that there was no gentle smile in Anna's gray eyes, nor was there any deep defense, but for a moment, he seemed to see the most real Anna.

Perhaps, like this, is her truest appearance.

This vague idea turned in Karenin's mind for a while, and then he patted Anna's hand lightly as if he was comforting a young child. Put your hands in the quilt.

He bent down and kissed his wife on the forehead.

He had done this when Seryozha was younger, as he remembered his mother had done to him.But in fact, Karenin knew sensibly that his mother died young, and perhaps the memory of kissing the forehead was forcibly portrayed in his mind when he saw his aunt doing it to her child.

At Karenin's age, the truth of the matter is no longer known.

"Sleep, Anna."

"I don't like the smell of cigarettes on your body, and I also hate the smell of alcohol." Anna closed her eyes and whispered.

The smell of tobacco and alcohol always made her feel deep in a nightmare.

"There won't be any more in the future." Karenin said in a low voice, as if his heart was gently brushed by someone with a feather. At this moment, with his clear logic, he immediately discovered that this seemed to be the first time Anna said bluntly. She doesn't like things, and, well, that's true.

Karenin sat by the bed for a while, and did not leave the bedroom until he was sure his wife was asleep.

When I returned to my study, the smell of cigarettes was still there.

Karenin opened the window. In winter, the Polaris was very bright, but he was very lonely.

He pondered, there were some things that could not be explained, like his wife's vigilance and defense that appeared for no reason before.

The marriage between Karenin and Anna was introduced by the latter's aunt, where Karenin was at that time governor.

Anna's aunt is a well-known nobleman in the local area. Although Karenin has already passed the marriageable age because he is obsessed with his career, his resume is very brilliant. As the youngest governor, the lady made Karenin Lenin introduced to his niece.

Karenin was well aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

He has never expected love, and because of his childhood living environment, the most ideal model in his mind is the respectful appearance of his uncle and the others. Finally, considering that he met an unmarried woman in an act similar to a blind date If she refuses, it will shame the lady. After that, Karenin quickly took care of everything and came to propose.

The married life is just as he expected, well-organized, logical, step-by-step work, all life within his plan, Karenin is extremely satisfied, until recently.

Karenin was surprised by Anna's intelligence, but admired it.

Prior to this, in the conversation, Karenin was in the lead on government affairs, and he was the listener on the details of life. Although they would ask each other appropriate words to keep the conversation going, Karenin knew in his heart that he He didn't expect anything constructive from his wife, just as his wife didn't try to get some insights about women from him.

But now, things have quietly changed.

He could bring her wife deep into his life, not just at home but in his work, and he could feel Anna's bright head, and it was satisfying to communicate with her.

This pleasant atmosphere made Karenin subconsciously ignore some things, including his wife's sometimes unfamiliarity and defensiveness.

Does that mean something happened to Anna?

An idea came to Karenin's mind that he needed to ask Anna's brother, his brother-in-law, Skipan Arkadyevitch Oblonsky.

After making up his mind, Karenin decided to write a tentative letter tomorrow morning to inquire about it. Perhaps it would be best to ask Skiva to come to Petersburg.

After thinking about these things, Karenin still spent four to ten minutes reading before going to bed.

As for Anna, she didn't sleep soundly that night. She woke up at about four o'clock, and she was sitting on the soft chair in her dressing gown looking at Dongfang Zhebai.

She originally thought that way, but after Karenin came again, she felt faintly that perhaps it was indeed inappropriate.

It was not until the end that Anna really apologized from the bottom of her heart.

That wasn't easy for her.

She thought carefully with her own pulse, she couldn't deny that she was a little flustered now, she was ashamed of apologizing for herself, as if she was naked, being seen by others as her most vulnerable self.But being comforted by others, it is indeed impossible to refuse.

It's like warm water, but who knows when human emotions will add a lot of firewood to it, and eventually it will turn into boiling water that will scald people?

Anna sat on the sofa with her knees hugged.

Such a woman, if she had been raised with careful care, she would fully understand the reason why another person was angry with her, but unfortunately, when she needed her parents, she lost them prematurely. In that family, all Sustained by a kind of resentment.

No matter how small the beasts are, they can bite people. They are alert enough in the face of danger, but they are at a loss when faced with things like warmth and cherishment.

Anna never thought that Karenin would come back, and even apologized to her.Intellectually, she fully understands what she should do, but the strong and bitter side in her bones makes her distort the other party's mind without hesitation.She thought the other party would leave, but he didn't.

This is the most dangerous place...

Anna got up and paced the plush carpet with her arms folded, walking slowly, she had to think again.

She must never let a person enter her mind so easily. It is a terrible thing to be controlled by sensibility. It will make people have all the retreats and become a fool who devotes himself to love.

Anna wanted to bite her fingernails, but she reacted instinctively.

She glared at her hand bitterly. After arriving at that home, in order to change this bad habit, she did everything she could to herself.

Taking a deep breath, she resolved not to let this happen again.

Before breakfast started, Karenin was going to visit his wife's bedroom, but when he was about to leave the bedroom door, Anna had already arrived at the door of his bedroom first, knocked on the door and came in.

Karenin was greeted by his wife's exquisite makeup and decent smile. It seemed that everything was fine, but Karenin clearly felt that the feeling of strangeness became more obvious.

Why didn't he notice it so clearly before?

Some dissatisfaction rolled in Karenin's chest, and he suppressed it again.

"Last night, I was so rude," Anna said.

"You'll have to forgive me, Alexey, I'm only a woman, and I'm asking you for one thing and I hope it will be done. As for some of your accusations, I am, but you have to be fair, right? Because you are my husband, if it is someone else, I swear I will never appease him."

Anna said, this is not a lie, but, with her subdued expression, it seems to be a great perfunctory to Karenin.

However, this should not be the reason for another quarrel.

Karenin was fully aware of one thing this time, even, perhaps with a little horror, that is, her wife emphasized that everything she said and did, everything she gave him, whether it was smile or intelligence, was only because of him. is her husband.

This shouldn't have caused such a big fluctuation in Karenin's heart. After all, he had never considered these things before.

Regarding love, Karenin always believed that there was something between him and his wife, they were the best couple in Petersburg.The wife is beautiful and gentle. She had many opportunities to be like Betsy and the others, but she didn't.He himself has always disapproved of such things as raising a lover, so he was very confident in their marriage and very satisfied.But at this moment, when some things were put on the bright side by his wife, when he suddenly felt that his theory had become a reality and appeared in life, and his wife would play this role, he felt like he was in an ice cellar.

Karenin's muscles were a little stiff, like a person walking on a cliff. At this moment, his instinct and rationality were still preserving his image, but he knew that he was a little flustered in his heart.

"This is a very sensible idea. I have to say that I am a bit too far, Anna, but as I said, you don't need to ask me for anything. I will give my advice on your ideas. I always think that a person is You don't have the right to judge other people's ideas, that's what the doctrine should do, all we can do is suggest, nothing more."

"You're absolutely right, Alexei." Anna smiled.

Then they ate breakfast together after Seryozha got up, and Karenin listened to Anna and Seryozha talking nonsense, and it seemed nothing different, as if it were just an ordinary day.

But since he began to have those cognitions in his heart, he found that many details reflected that terrible fact.

From the perspective of the servants, today was just another normal day.

The master went to work in the government department at the appointed time, the wife went for a walk in the garden for a while, the master was still in class, and they were also doing what they should do. Only the careful Kearney noticed something unusual.

Kearney noticed that the master was inattentive while eating. He didn't say anything all morning, and his whole body was a little tense, looking too serious.

It may be nothing to others, but to Karenin, it may be because there is a big thing in his heart that bothers him.

As a housekeeper, Kearney shouldn't be in charge of these things.

Maybe outsiders think the master is indifferent and unreasonable, but Kearney knows how much that man can't see other people's tears.

The old butler took the matter seriously, but didn't say anything for the time being. However, people's hearts are biased, and in his heart, he still has some complaints about his wife.

Personal feelings will not affect Karenin's government affairs.

But excessive overtime is not normal.

"Sir, are you still working overtime today?" Secretary Vladimir asked on Karenin's third day of overtime.

"You go first, Flamekir, I can handle these things myself." Karenin said with a frown.

Vlamikir took a look at the official documents beside Karenin. In fact, those were not very urgent, and there were even some things that Karenin did not need to deal with personally.

"Working overtime for three consecutive days, I think Madam may have some objections." Flamekill reminded.

Karenin looked up at his secretary and said, "I don't think the secretary's accusation should go beyond work, right?"

Flamekill smiled: "Naturally not for others, but for you is special."

Before Karenin could speak, Vlamekir opened the itinerary and said, "Countess Lygia will come to talk to you at seven o'clock."

"What's the matter with her?"

"I'm sorry, Countess Lygia is unwilling to disclose, she said that this can only be discussed with noble people like you."

"I think you should understand, Flamekir, since I promoted you as my secretary, it means that I recognize your ability. As for other things, that's not my concern." Karenin said calmly.

"If this is your consolation, sir, please rest assured that I am not a self-deprecating person." Flamekill bowed gracefully and then left.

After Vlamekir went out, Karenin thought for a moment about what Lygia might have talked to him about, and then put the matter aside for the time being.

Countess Lygia arrived before seven o'clock.

She wore an elegant purple long dress, which matched her dark eyes. Because of her tall figure, her breasts were also very plump. The countess seemed to understand that she did not have much advantage in her face, but she was impressive. Her bosom would add some color to her.

Although Lygia sneered at Betsy and the others, as long as she was a woman, she would always hope that she could attract the attention of men.

Li Jiya married her current husband when she was young, but in less than half a month, her husband abandoned her and favored his little lovers.Seeing no love from her husband, Lygia simply pursued it from others.

Each of her love affairs is sincere, they have bishops, young nobles, and even guards. When she loves someone, she never half-heartedly, but she can fall in love with someone so easily, just like To Karenin.

They were good friends before, and she regarded him as a confidant in her heart, revered him, and praised him.In the past, she could not feel Anna's concern and protection for Karenin from Anna, but she felt different during this time.

Some emotions of the woman were aroused, and she realized dully that she was in love with Karenin.

For a woman like Ligia, once she realizes this, she fully approves of it. She admits that she loves Karenin, and feels that he is an excellent person without any flaws.

But Lygia will not destroy Karenin's family, but she still hopes to maintain this platonic love with Karenin.

Karenin was sensitive to some changes in Lygia.After all, outside the family, Karenin was always very perceptive.

"Oh, Karenin, I came to you today because of the sisterhood. Those hypocritical gentlemen attacked it vulgarly again." Countess Lygia complained sweetly.

Karenin knew what comfort Countess Lygia wanted from him, but at this moment, after realizing that Lygia's attitude towards him had changed, he thought that kind of comfort was inappropriate.

"Countess, I don't think I can provide any real help with the sisterhood."

Countess Lygia looked at Karenin in surprise.

Although uttering this would take away some of Lygia's strong support, the last thing Karenin needed at the moment, after being beset by family problems, was to get tainted with them again.As for support, he can always figure out a way.

"I fully agree with your original intention of establishing the sisterhood, which is commendable, but unfortunately, I really can't help. Maybe my wife would be more willing to discuss these with you. She always praises you and thinks that you are It's admirable to stand up for women's rights. Why don't you talk more about these things with her?"

Karenin lied calmly, and in fact Anna did not praise Lygia at all.

"Anna agrees with this very much?"

When Countess Lygia asked this question with some doubts, there was a knock on the door of Karenin's office.

"Come in," Karenin said.

The bedroom door opened, and Karenin looked at the person outside the door with some surprise.

Anna walked into Karenin's office with a smile. She wore a long black velvet dress, revealing her graceful neck and collarbone. On her ears were gorgeous emerald earrings. Her cheeks were bright red. Under the light, her lips were full. And moist.

Behind her, Karenin clearly saw the envious eyes of those subordinates who stayed to work overtime.

If Karenin was the kind of boy in his twenties, he would probably be complacent when faced with the envious looks of his colleagues, but he is Karenin, so he just took the look intertwined with his wife from the bottom of his heart. unhappy.

"I think it's cold outside," Karenin said, reminding Anna of her health and a few personal reasons.

"Indeed." Anna nodded, her lips raised, and the curve was as beautiful as a winter jasmine.Her bright eyes flicked past Karenin, and then stopped at Countess Lygia.

Anna smiled and walked over to Countess Lygia and kissed Countess Lygia's cheek: "How are you doing? Dear Lygia, we have only been separated for a day or two and I started to miss you."

Lygia was almost flattered by Anna's enthusiasm. She had always loved Anna, from her face to her gentle expression, but Anna was never the kind of person who was too enthusiastic about people. She also thought that maybe Anna liked Betsy more. That kind, so Anna kissed her and hugged her, one can imagine how happy she was!

"I'm fine. How about you, Anna, I have to say that I'm so glad to see you!" Ligia asked happily from the bottom of her heart, and her full lips kissed Anna's cheek lovingly.

Anna held Ligia's hand and sat together on the sofa next to her, seemingly completely ignoring her husband.

"It's not very good. I always want to see you and listen to you talk about the sisterhood, but I'm worried that you will be busy and disturb you."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Karenin reproachfully, and said, "Karenin appreciates you so much too, but I'm afraid he didn't really convey my love for you to you, otherwise why would you only be with such a serious person like him?" Talk about it, instead of me saying more about your strange and noble ideas?"

Li Geya felt a little blushing, but soon, that blushing turned into a kind of pride and joy.

After she learned that Anna loved her, she condemned some of her thoughts on Karenin, and she also found that she liked Anna as naturally as she liked Karenin.

"I love them both, and no one can separate them, not even myself."

After making up her mind, Li Geia began to chat with Anna affectionately with peace of mind.

Naturally, they didn't talk about the sisterhood, because considering that this is Karenin's office after all, Ligia sent an invitation to Anna, expressing that she hoped that Anna would come to her home tomorrow, and she would prepare refreshments to entertain her well.

"Then I will be lucky, everyone knows that the tea you prepared is so delicious." Anna smiled and complimented Countess Lygia.

Countess Lygia was very happy, and on the way back, she made up her mind again to love the couple at the same time.

After Countess Lygia left, Anna returned to Karenin's office, she closed the door of the office, and then she did not approach, but looked up at her husband with a half-smile.

After these three days of "overtime" excuses, Anna thought she would not care, but in fact, when she received a notice from Flamekir, after staying in the bedroom for a while, she still let Comte Lackey drove over.

And look what she saw?

A tall busty woman tries to have sex with her husband.

Her gaze was on Karenin's face, and finally she said, "Did I interrupt something just now?"
