Chapter 17: Forty Guests
The Drivers' Orphan Fund held its annual dinner in the Pearl Hall of the Ning Club, and Ning Boyuan was the patron.
Forty guests sat at five round tables under a chandelier.
Lu Zhenyu took the chair at the head table beside his husband.
He straightened his cuffs and kept his hands where they could be seen.
Fang had put on the navy suit.
He was not shouting.
He sat upright with a smile at the corners of his mouth, which Lu had learned to read as a held storm.
"They are charging eleven thousand a plate," Fang murmured. "For the orphans of drivers."
"Do not say it aloud," said Lu.
"I'm saying it to you."
"Say it to me quietly."
Under the tablecloth, Fang's knee pressed against his.
It stayed there.
At the end of the soup, Ning rose with a glass in his hand.
"My friends," he said. "A toast, to the children."
The guests murmured and lifted their glasses.
"And a second toast, to my young friends at the head table. Zhenyu, and his purchase."
A thin laugh ran through the hall.
Fang's knee went rigid.
"Boyuan," said Lu, evenly.
"Forgive me. A joke. A man of Zhenyu's means buys what he likes."
