A Noble Marriage

Penchant www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update on the latest chapter of Noble Marriage [Anna]!    "Let's get married."

Anna saw the man in front of her, whose face had been kept with a slightly proper look, even with the occasional fake smile that wouldn't be mistaken for a jovial one, and was now, so to speak, a little shocked, but he recovered quickly. She snickered a little.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Obolensky, this is the first time we have met."

The gentleman called Karenin said in a fairly smooth tone, his blue eyes making light rounds over Anna's entire face before speaking slowly, so sternly and carefully.

"Literally, yes."

Anna played with her hair for a moment now, black, not quite the same as her original fine, soft hair that was a little more yellow, but much more beautiful.

"But, I think I know you well enough so we can get married."

She said with bright eyes, a gesture and proposal that could have scared off a company in these very conservative times before unmarriage.

Karenin heard "marriage" for the second time from the mouth of the lady in front of him, and it was specified "both of them", so he straightened his body and collected almost all his expressions in case this was some kind of prank, and even if it wasn't, to be honest, it was a bit scary.

"Miss Oblonsky, I consider marriage to be a very sacred thing." The man's tone remained in a polite way without refuting the other.

"Anna."

"What?"

The man's somewhat stunned expression caused Anna to really smile this time.

"I would like you to call me by my first name." Her gray eyes were as bright again as if she had sprinkled starlight in them.

"I know that marriage is very sacred, so I am expressing my wishes to you in all sincerity."

"It is, out of order." Karenin said after a pause, his expression stiffened slightly, he was sitting incredibly upright, and now his eyes touched the roses that were already on the table and became a little stinging.

He withdrew his gaze and decided to take the question with the utmost seriousness; after all, something very obvious was being laid out on the table.

"There's a fourteen year difference between us."

"I don't think that's a problem."

Anna's eyes remained on the other woman as she surveyed Mr. Karenin.

He was tall, with a physique that was thinner than that of a traditional Russian government official, with brownish-blond hair, the blond parts of which had dulled somewhat, tending, at first glance, to a darker brown, and which was properly and neatly groomed.

The overly cold face is distinguished only by a pair of eyes. Such eyes were a little too showy on the man, and have now become subdued through the years.

The modest three-piece suit was so appropriate on this official gentleman that Anna curled her mouth into a smile, and she just knew that no garment could be more suitable for him than this.

So he was a government official in this era!

Before Anna could finish her sigh, the gentleman in front of her was slightly displeased that she had wandered off. After all, she was the one who had made the request for marriage.

She smiled again, and the dimples that emerged on her face made her look even more beautiful.

"I can accept the age difference, even if I'm only eighteen now, sir, and I hope you understand that I'm not just saying this out of impulse." Anna winked, "Besides, I don't think you look old at all."

"But I can't think of a third reason for that at the moment, other than impulse and mischief." Karenin skimmed over Anna's compliment somewhat unnaturally.

"For example, that I have lost my mind?"

Anna began to give to find a reason for Karenin, and then showed a satisfied expression after seeing the other party's somewhat strange expression.

"If we're going to get married, I think we should start by calling each other by our names. Please call me by my name, that's my first request, Alexei." She said sincerely.

After one, two, three seconds passed, Anna still didn't wait for that one, and she was slightly disappointed.

"So you are planning to refuse me?"

Anna was a little disappointed, she had thought it was a less than fortunate thing that she had suddenly crossed over from the runway show to here.

There were no electric lights, no internet connection, travel was still horse-drawn carriages, and women didn't even have that many opportunities to just go out ......

There were so many bad things, but then she saw him, so all the bad things were gone. She wanted to take her chances, after all, she didn't believe the same luck would happen twice, but ......

"That's not what I meant."

A slightly lower voice rang out, and Anna looked up as the man's slightly thinner lips pursed for a moment before continuing, "I just don't understand why you have suddenly chosen me."

Karenin was not excusing himself or lying, he really did not understand.

He had come to Moscow from Petersburg on official business, and at the ball he had witnessed Miss Obolensky shine like a jewel.

In fact, this was not the first time he had heard of her, he had heard of her half a month earlier, but at that time she was not known for her beauty, but for her memory loss due to a fall into the water, after all, there were not too many famous ladies in Moscow who were of marriageable age and had a dowry of their own, and were also beautiful.

The single men all feel sorry for this Miss Oblonsky and do not want anything to happen to her, to be precise, they do not want her life to be damaged that will lead to the loss of dowry, they do not want her face to be damaged, that will make people sigh, as for the rest, there are really not too many people to worry about.

Now, the lady told him seriously with her beautiful face that she wished to marry him, boldly.

If Karenin had been one of those men who consider themselves intelligent, he would not have asked any more questions, but would have immediately taken her hand, said some loving words, and then joyfully prepared the marriage ceremony and generously provided all of Moscow, and even Petersburg, with at least a month's worth of conversation.

Unfortunately and fortunately, he was not.

Because they were not rejected, Anna's eyes lit up again, and for this reason Karenin caught the memory of a latent message in his heart, and it struck him that the eyes in front of him were like fireflies when they were happy, they shone almost equally bright.

"Miss Obolensky, intimate names are only allowed for intimate relationships that have been blessed by God."

"I will take it as a joke and assure you that no third person will know about it."

Anna knew that the other woman was defending her honor, and even, she understood what it meant.

A man like Karenin, even though he did not need marriage to make his career smoother and to increase his wealth again, marriage was never a weight of interest, even for the emperor.

"Oh my!" She whispered in shock, then jerked her eyes up, unable to stop herself from smiling.

"There's nothing you can do to stop me now."

"What?"

Karenin frowned shallowly; he had thought he had proposed the best way.

"We get married." Anna said, confidently.

"I don't like anyone better right now, and with my family and your status, we are a good match, no, there is simply no better match than us. I think you should be able to bear me, and I think you are very good, and I am very happy to marry you. Under these circumstances, why do you refuse the marriage?"

"Wait!" She said suddenly, somewhat nervously, stopping Karenin from speaking.

When she had finished, Anna asked a well-dressed servant for a pen and paper, and the servant quickly brought her what she wanted, which was expensive parchment.

"One moment, please." She said somewhat apologetically, then began to write lyrically on the parchment, and after a moment, pushed the paper over from her side, gesturing for him to look at it.

As the man read, Anna rested her right hand on her cheek, and under her long lashes, her gray eyes looked intently at the other man.

She remembered this position, that time she was on the t-stage, he was in a position closest to the aisle, ten shows he was in that position every time, every time he sent the same kind of flowers but never accosted her.

Anna admitted that this person had piqued her interest.

Now, fortunately, there is one more chance.

The pair of slender hands in front of her white but not weak, once wrote her a very beautiful card, although brief, but the words are steady and strong, as he is a person, slightly with a little cold sexy.

"I'm done reading."

"Your answer."

"I will agree to your proposal."

And so, on this day, on the dance floor a meter away, the noise vibrated, and on the soft mahogany chairs on this side of the corner, a marriage fourteen years apart kicked off.
