The Emperor smiled faintly, his dark circles looking particularly pronounced.
Gu Chengyu thought to himself, the Emperor probably has been tossing and turning, unable to sleep these past few nights?

Gu Chengyu grinned. He had been worrying about not having a chance to deal with Chou Yifan. Now, the opportunity had presented itself.
As long as they continue to work together, Gu Chengyu, being his superior, would find it easy to manipulate him.
