Chapter 86 (2/2)
”No matter how hard the children of the poor family try hard, even if they can step into our class, how can they understand the noble culture and family ties. Give them votes and rights, and you can't have a cow on the throne
As vorensky said, although the former may think Anna didn't listen to anything, in fact, Anna did. But, I'm afraid the boy hasn't had time to learn something. Anna has no obligation to listen to him.
At the end of the day, what do they have to do with each other?
Wallensky's arrogant and young mind may be sensitive to some of the valuable women like Anna, but in his words, he directly exposed some of the bad qualities of this era.
If that's all, it's all right. The most important thing is that a young man like Wollensky, who has never suffered setbacks and has long been in the circle of his cousins, did not really realize the weight of those high-ranking Petersburg officials in Anna's mind.
Anna won't say much to Wollensky.
No, no need. Her world has nothing to do with wallensky.
When she got home, she knew from korny that Karenin had come back and was talking with him in her study.
”It seems that he is very satisfied with slythin.” Anna and the housekeeper said a few words with a smile.
She is always in a good mood when she comes home. Here, where Karenin is there is Anna's world.
Since Karenin was talking to slythin about business, Anna would not disturb them. She went to the living room with her own flowers and scissors, which she spent the next half hour on.”You are back.”
Her voice made Anna lift her head from the book, and she had a good time looking at the young secretary, Mr. Xue.
”You have been taking up my husband's time for a long time recently.”
If a young man is wearing a suit now, he can say that he is not allowed to wear a bow tie.
”I'll give you my Lord now, Madame.”
Slythin pointed to Karenin, who came down from the second floor, who seemed to be used to their less serious conversation.
Anna got up, picked up a white rose tied with a ribbon, and went to striding.
”Take it.”
Slythin was a little surprised. He looked at his adult and didn't dare to put out his hand for a long time.
Karenin's expression had always maintained a certain habitual indifference, but now it was a little tense.
Anna took a look at her husband, laughed, and then looked at Slytherin. ”Don't get me wrong. When you're going to see someone later, there's only one gift that won't please everyone.” After she had finished, she motioned for the pocket with her eyes.
”You're dressed up to-day, and you haven't stayed for dinner. As far as I know, you don't have any right now. ” She said with reservation.
”Then I dare to take it.” With a deliberate heavy sigh of relief, he took the white rose and put it in the pocket of his coat.
After slythin left, Anna took Karenin's hand and prepared to enter the hall from the yard.
There was no movement on the surface, but she was counting it in her heart.
”One, two, three...” By the ninth time, as expected, Karenin's voice rang out.
She raised her head to show that she was listening to each other's words. In fact, she could not help laughing.
”That white rose, very careful, Anna.” Karenin said that the tone was rarely hesitant. He realized that his wife went to the florist to pick flowers. Although he said that he wanted to help him, he had not received flowers from his wife.
”I know you are sensitive now. As your secretary, it would be better for him to handle some things instead of you.” Anna said, deliberately blurring the rose.
”Yes.” Karenin answered and continued to walk with Anna.
After entering the hall.
”That rose...”
Karenin mentioned it again, and Anna finally couldn't help laughing.
Anna's laughter immediately alerted the smart official, who instinctively tightened his look, but soon relaxed.
”You went to the florist to pick out the flowers.”
But it's not for me.
”You used blue ribbons.”
Blue is a very special color.
Every time Karenin said a word, Anna guessed in her heart and added another sentence. Then, before Karenin's third sentence came out, she stood on tiptoe and gave her husband a kiss on the lips.
”It's attached to Slytherin. I went to the florist for you.” Anna said with a smile. She took her husband's hand and took him upstairs to their bedroom.
On the mahogany round table, the blue daisies are arranged in the vase in clusters. The curtains were pulled up, the wind from the balcony and the sunshine outside the window soothed the blue elves.
Anna sat her husband in a chair and sat by herself, her fingers brushing the daisy pages.
”I don't know what flowers you like, but when I saw them I thought you might like them.”
”Do you like flowers?” Karenin asked.
”I like it.” Anna said, looking at each other, her eyes bent. ”I know what you're thinking, Alexis, but it's OK.”
Anna folded her hands and laughed softly and warmly.
”I feel very happy. There is something you haven't started to do for me, but I can give it to you first.”
”But I should.” Karenin frowned slightly. He didn't care about it and didn't think it was really necessary.
”There is nothing that should or should not be. I wanted to do it, so I did it. Just like you did for me. ” Anna said, ”no one said that men must send flowers to women, not wives to their husbands.” She said with a smile.
Karenin looked at his wife's smiling face, and his expression became gentle.
He reached out his right hand, held Anna's hand in the heart of his hand, and then came close to him and gave a gentle kiss at the knuckle.
”You like it, don't you?” Anna was a little embarrassed, but she didn't flinch. Instead, she continued to ask, her cheeks flushed.
”Anna, they are mine.” Karenin said.
Like it or not, he hardly appeared in Karenin's Dictionary of life. He didn't think it necessary to reserve places for them, but later, he thought, these positions might be necessary.Looking at Karenin's gaze at the daisies, and the slightly cocked smile on her lips, Anna held her right hand on her cheek and thought gently - I love this man, even if he is not the best in the world, he is unique in my world.
