Anna looked up, and the owner of the voice was Vronsky, whom she had not seen for a while.

The boy didn't wear much, and the skin on his neck could be seen vaguely.

He stood up straight, like every noble boy of his age, eager to be treated as an adult.

Teenagers at this age are usually a little arrogant, like a proud little peacock. If they have a beautiful appearance at the same time, most people will choose to forgive them.

Vronsky was of course such a man, but, beneath his haughty exterior, he retained a certain decorum.

When he asked, he leaned slightly, his eyelids were extremely deep, and the eyes underneath were extremely intelligent and polite.

Now Anna naturally couldn't refuse to answer the other party's question.

"Yes." She replied like this, but did not leave room for the other party to answer.

Usually people would leave with interest, but Vronsky didn't seem to realize it.

"I've heard about those things. You are very famous in Petersburg now." Vronsky stood up straight again, his chin slightly raised, and his performance was just right, without being too arrogant.

How amazing it is in the circles of Petersburg, that a child can be made to behave like a young adult in just one month.

If Vronsky was a little older, this performance would be a bit exaggerated.

But he happened to be at the age when most people are easy to tolerate them.

Anna smiled slightly: "There are too many famous people in Petersburg."

Anna saw the other party scrutinizing her for a while, and then said a few words indifferently and left.

When Vronsky had gone away, Anushka poured Anna a glass of hot water. She didn't say anything, but the thoughtful look in her eyes made Anna a little concerned.

"It's nothing, just a child, Anushka," said Anna.

Anushka agreed, although he didn't think so in his heart, he didn't say much.

"Would you like to read, madam?" Annushka changed the subject.

"Yes, help me get the dark cover in that suitcase, will you?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Annushka found the book, took a second look, and then she heard laughter.

"Have you noticed?"

Anuschka's heart skipped a little habitually, but she quickly relaxed, blinking her eyes and said, "I can't help but notice, ma'am, sir, I've been reading this book recently."

"Well, he still has an ending." Anna stroked the cover and said with a smile.

Annushka couldn't hold back her curiosity this time, and asked, "Then why did you only take out this book?" In Annushka's heart, the wife has always followed the husband, although most of the time it is the husband Dote on her, but for some small details, when no one notices, the wife will always consider it for the husband.

When Anna heard Anushka's question, she paused for a while, then continued, and then she whispered: "This way he will miss me for a while."

Anushka blushed a little, then lowered her head and continued knitting her own wool.

And at this moment, Karenin was indeed looking for his book.

He frowned, looking at the empty desk, almost wanting to get angry. Most of the servants knew their lord's habit, don't touch the confiscated books, the desk is almost a forbidden place.

But soon, Karenin realized who would have done it.

It didn't need to take a minute, but it was obvious that Karenin might have left something behind when he went to the train station before, and he had already chased after the rumbling rumble.

Karenin went to the desk, but it was not his own, but Anna's.

He looked slowly from his wife's chair to the knick-knacks on the table, and finally spotted something new.

He pulled out the paper and found that there was a line of beautiful small characters on it.

"I'll give you back the ending when I get back. Love your wife, Anna."

But after a few seconds of thinking, Karenin understood.

He stood looking out the window for at least ten minutes, then looked down again, then folded the letter and carefully put it in the drawer.

The drawer was originally the same as the desk, very rigorous and full of rationality, but now, there are many soft and elegant things in it.

It's like some kind of box, and the treasures inside are the most precious treasures of the owner.

Moscow, Anna started to get up with sleepy eyes, she swayed a little, Annushka supported her.

"Are you okay?" she asked with concern.

"I think it's okay, I'm just a little tired." Anna said, smiling at the other party to signal her not to worry.

Annushka watched her for a while longer, and then felt relieved.

While the other party was packing up, Anna looked at Anushka's back for a while.

She didn't know what Karenin said to the other party, but she knew he must have said something.

She shook her head to stop thinking about it.

After getting out of the car, they waited for a while in a reasonably safe place, and then saw Vronsky.

The boy was carrying a suitcase and wearing a coat. He was distinguished in both appearance and status in the crowd. He turned his head as if he was looking for something.

Anna took a step back.

Vronsky walked forward without much effort, and Anna was just about to ask Annushka if she had everything, when Vronsky turned his head.

The line of sight was just blocked.

Anna quickly smiled at the other party, Vronsky pursed his lips, and then left without looking back. Now it was Anna's turn to be a little embarrassed.

"What are you looking at?" Annushka's voice brought Anna back to her senses.

"Nothing, did you see Skiva?" Anna asked.

Anushka looked around: "No, madam."

Anna responded.

The platform at the Moscow Railway Station was a bit windy, and a strand of hair on the right cheek played a mischievous trick in front of Anna. She raised her hand and squeezed it seriously to make them behave.

At this time, a hearty voice sounded.

As soon as the sound came, the owner of the sound ran over.

"Schihua." Anna smiled, a little embarrassed but still able to accept the kind greeting from her brother.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Anna." Oblonsky was still so warm and lovely, his chubby face was ruddy and beautiful, and he had the fashionable beard.

"Me too, is Tao Li okay?" Anna asked her sister-in-law first.

"Ah, to say yes or no," Oblonsky sighed.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked.

Skiva asked the servant to pick up the luggage, then stretched out his hand for Anna to hold him, ready to talk while walking.

"Most of the time she is happy, but sometimes she gets sad. I try to ask her, but she always says it's okay." Oblonsky said distressedly about his confusion.

"Have you had the doctor come and see?"

"It's clear, but the doctors in Moscow are probably not very good. They can't solve my confusion."

"I'll go back and have a look first," Anna said.

About half an hour later they arrived at Oblonsky's residence.

After seeing Dolly, Anna understood why Oblonsky didn't know how to describe Dolly's current situation.

To begin with, Dolly hadn't lost weight, in fact she was very ruddy, but her soft eyes were now a little wet, with red lids, evident from crying.

She greeted Anna and kissed her, but soon sobbed again.

"Oh, please don't mind, Anna," Dolly said shamefully. She had seen the doctor several times herself, but no one could tell her why.

"Of course I don't mind, Taoli." Anna took Taoli's hand and let her sit on the sofa.

"Well, it seems that I can't stay here now," said Oblonsky, shrugging his shoulders and laughing, and he left, leaving the place to his sister-in-law.

Anna looked at Tao Li's abdomen, there was no change there, but Tao Li was no longer a girl, nor did she feel like a newlywed wife.

For example, when he was walking just now, the other party's hand would obviously be close to his abdomen. As if to say that the consciousness of motherhood has been awakened in the heart of this young woman.

"Anna, is it abnormal for me to behave like this?" Tao Li asked, her voice tensed.

"Don't think about it, dear Tao Li, you are just pregnant. You must know that most pregnant women are not in a good mood at the moment. But you are already considerate enough." Anna said softly, her eyes fixed on each other .

"Schihua is just worried about you. He is your husband. You are pregnant with the two of you. He loves you, so you don't need to worry at all. If you feel uncomfortable, you tell him. If you want Don't hesitate to say anything to him. After all, pregnancy is a matter between two people!"

Anna's straightforward language made Tao Li blush a little. To be honest, she never felt this way when she was newly married, but now, from Anna's words, she felt as if she had gained some privileges.

Her upbringing made her always be cautious in her words and deeds.

Her mother told her that wives must submit to their husbands.

At first she carefully disclosed the incident to her mother, but the latter just told her to get through it, which she said was how she got through.

But now, her husband's sister told her that she could completely rely on her husband.

Anna saw that Tao Li was immersed in her own thoughts, she thought for a while and said:

"Schiva is really worried about you, but I want to say that he is really clumsy. If you don't say it, he won't think of it. We have been talking about you on the way here, and he wants to help you, Tao Li .”

When Tao Li heard this, the expression on her face became brighter.

She thought of her husband clumsily asking her what she needed in recent days, but because of her low mood and her mother's teachings, she couldn't tell him these things.

But now, she knows she can.

Seeing the brilliance on Tao Li's face, Anna knew that the matter had been resolved, and she became more relaxed.

"Look, Dolly, husbands and wives always need to talk more. If he doesn't know how to do it, you tell him, just like us, if a husband needs his wife to help him, we always You won't refuse, will you?"

Taoli nodded with a smile.

There was more laughter in the Oblonskys' house that evening.

Anna looked at the happy couple in front of her. Although the two of them were not very close to outsiders, because Tao Li was noble and well-bred, even as a wife, she would not behave too intimately with her husband, but those details showed that It seems that they are a happy couple.

"It's great." Anna sighed, she looked at her side, smiled slightly, and in consciousness, she toasted with her husband.

"May the happiness and peace of this moment also be passed on to you by the breeze, dear Alexei."

And in distant Petersburg, at a quiet dining table, Karenin paused while he was cutting the steak, and he glanced at the window.

The butler immediately stepped forward and said, "Do you need me to close the window? Sir."

"Let him drive, Kearney." Karenin said, looking away, and continued to carry out his dinner at a steady pace.

Beside him, I don't know whether it was the housekeeper's intention or something, the chair belonging to the hostess kept the posture opened, as if someone had left love and longing in Petersburg, and spent time with the Russian high-ranking official. It's the same as the long night.
