"If it were our men here, we wouldn't let that happen, would we?"

Although Petersey did not name names, many of the men and women in this room already had their own "companions", except for a few.

Petersy's eyes kept glancing at Vronsky, who smiled as well.

They were talking in their own social manners, tacitly acknowledging each other, and Anna's other friends laughed foolishly, agreeing with Petersy's words.

Suddenly, things became like a soft push, and Anna felt like a duck on the grill.

A slight anger spread through her chest.

Maybe Anna didn't have any friends in her previous life, so no one ever sued her. When she is angry but not angry, but smiles, her eyes become more moisturized, and because of firmness, it seems to shine with some kind of light.

She smiled, her thin lips lightly furled, "I have to argue for my husband, if this misunderstanding continues to circulate, he will probably complain about my indifference, after all, he has never made me uncomfortable." ”

"Oh? What do you have to argue for Mr. Karenin? A minister's wife asked with interest, the two black eyebrows were extremely delicate, and the lips were small and thin, like fresh water chestnuts.

If she said this to others, it would seem a little frivolous and rude. As a lady with status, she naturally dares to say most things.

Anna observed that the husband of the minister's wife, the diplomat, was like every man of merit and cunning, and on such occasions they took a back seat, did not take the initiative to say anything sensitive, and gave their wife full authority and voice in order to obtain more favorable information.

Even on this point, Anna could not let Karenin's reputation be discredited.

"My husband," Anna began, and she pulled her hair back, but it only made it more fluffy, which made her look very amorous, and with the fact that she was talking about a man, it gave the illusion that she must be very much in love with her husband.

Anna knew what these little gestures would conjure, and it was exactly what she wanted, so she didn't hesitate to smile at her.

"I think most people agree that he's doing his job very well, and that's a matter for men, and I don't know much because Alexei talks to me more about some of the things he's allowed to talk about. You know, I'm just a woman, and I don't know too much, and it's not interesting to me, but that's his life, and it's always good to hear about it. Sometimes I would be glad to listen to the conversations of some of the gentlemen who came to visit him, and to hear them talk about my husband from the perspective of others, which was a novel and proud thing. ”

Anna paused, observing the impact her words had on the crowd. So she had a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart, but she sorted out a somewhat shy smile on her face that belonged to the noble lady Anna.

"In general, it's unfair for me to judge things at work, but for my wife to judge him as my husband, I have to say, he's the best in the world."

She didn't speak loudly in the last few words, but she deliberately slowed down, as if she wanted to nail it to other people's hearts word by word.

"Oh my God......" said Duchess Miahki with some rudeness, and then everyone seemed to wake up.

Some of the young aristocratic ladies had their cheeks spicy, as if they had heard something terrible, but it had to be said that it worked well, and they put a lot of romantic looks on Anna, as if she were some kind of warrior.

And those married wives are more of a stunned, they vaguely exchange glances with each other, conveying information.

It was as if they had been slapped in the face, especially Petersy, who looked at Anna with a look of consternation, as if she wanted to ask her something directly, but the minister's words sobered her up.

"I am honored that Mr. Karenin has you as a lady."

Faced with the minister's wife's interesting scrutiny, Anna just let her look at it frankly.

Aside from the nihilistic thing of love, just objectively talk about Karenin as a person, isn't he good enough?

Anna considers herself to be a calm and objective person, so she doesn't feel at all that she has the slightest reason to be upset.

"How sweet!" Petersey reacted, restoring her usual appearance, as if the matter had been revealed in her mind. Vronsky was a little restless, but fortunately a countess next to him had come to talk to him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and put the matter aside for the time being.

This episode seems to have come to an end, but for everyone, it is very different.

Everyone's attention was quickly attracted by something else, the Duchess of Miyahki told a lot of vulgar and straightforward jokes, which caused everyone to laugh for a while, Anna held the black tea, just smiled, silent, and could feel an inquiring look or two at her.

Let them go!

Anna thought to herself, and after figuring it out, she now only felt open-minded and focused on filling her stomach with good food.

When the girls saw the happy and sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, they all sighed that Anna must have missed her husband, and they had not found such a great and romantic love by their side before. But what they didn't know was that Anna's happy and contented smile was actually only related to the crème brûlel in her hand, which was made by the French chef of the Petesi family, and it was unique.

Karenin had no idea that he had accidentally become synonymous with that kind of romance, nor did he know that when others were envious that he had received 100% love from his wife, in fact, her wife's heart was filled with pudding, leaving no corner for him.

A little later, Karenin came.

When the servant made the report, the noblewomen, who had been a little tired, moved their little ears alertly like cats that had smelled food.

Anna glanced at everyone and laughed inwardly, she rolled her eyes and greeted the "romantic hero" with her gaze. ”
