Chapter 1 (1/2)
”Let's get married.”
When Anna saw the man in front of her, her face had always maintained a slightly serious expression. Even if there were occasional fake smiles, people would not mistake him as a happy person. Now, it can be said that he was a little shocked, but he soon recovered. She gave a sly smile.
”If I remember correctly, miss oberonski, this is our first meeting.”
The gentleman, named Karenin, said in a rather smooth tone. His blue eyes walked over Anna's face for a while before he spoke slowly, so precise and meticulous.
”Literally, yes.”
Anna took a look at her hair. It was black. It was not the same as her yellow hair, but it was more beautiful.
”But I think I know you enough, so we can get married.”
She said brightly with her eyes that in an age of great conservatism before marriage, this move and proposal could scare a company away.
Karenin heard ”marriage” for the second time from the young lady in front of him, and he appointed ”both of them”. So he straightened up his body and almost restrained all his expressions so as not to be a prank. Even if it was not a prank, it would be a bit frightening to tell the truth.
”Miss oberonski, I think marriage is a very sacred thing.” The man's tone remained in a polite manner without refuting the other side.
”Anna.”
”What?”
The man's expression made Anna laugh this time.
”I hope you can call me by my name.” Her gray eyes were as bright as stars in them.
”I know that marriage is very sacred, so I sincerely express my wish to you.”
”It's not polite.” Karenin said, pausing for a moment. His expression was a little stiff. He sat perfectly upright. Now his eyes touched the roses on the table, which had become a bit stinging.
He took back his eyes and decided to take the issue seriously. After all, there was a very obvious thing on the table.
”There is a difference of fourteen years between us.”
”I don't think that's a problem.”
Anna's eyes were still on each other. She looked at Mr. Karenin.
he is tall, with a more lean body than traditional Russian government officials. He has a faint golden brown hair. The golden part is dim. He will tend to be dark brown in the first simultaneous interpreting.
Too cold face, only a pair of eyes is different. Such eyes are too beautiful for men. They have become calm after years of growth.
A proper three piece suit was so suitable for the official. Anna raised her lips and smile, and she knew that there was no dress more suitable for him.
It turns out that he was a government official in this era!
Anna has not finished sighing, the gentleman in front of her is a little discontented because she is distracted. After all, she was the one who asked for marriage.
She laughed again, and the dimples on her face made her look more beautiful.
”I can accept the age difference, even if I'm only eighteen now, sir, and I hope you understand that I didn't say it out of impulse.” Anna blinked. ”And, I don't think you look old at all.”
”But apart from impulse and prank, I can't think of a third reason to explain it for the time being.” Karenin passed over Anna's compliment somewhat unnaturally.
”For example, have I lost my heart?”
Anna began to find reasons for Karenin, and then showed a satisfied expression when she saw some strange expressions.
”If we're going to get married, I think we should start by calling each other's names. Please call me my name. This is my first request, Alexis She said sincerely.
1、 Two or three seconds later, Anna still didn't wait for that sentence. She was a little disappointed.
”So are you going to refuse me?”
Anna was a little disappointed. She thought it was not very lucky for her to suddenly cross here from the t-show.
