How did I become a god

Chapter 1671: The Curtain Falls Again
Around 8 PM.

In the dining room on the second floor of Villa No. 11 at Tomson Golf, a crystal chandelier casts a soft glow, illuminating the exquisite state banquet dishes on the sandalwood dining table.
The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, simmering slowly over a low flame, steams gently rising from the surface. The stir-fried river shrimp, each one as translucent as white jade, are cooked in a rich amber broth. The chicken broth with dried tofu strips is clear and fragrant. The interplay of color, aroma, and flavor tantalizes the taste buds.

Jing Gao sat at the head of the table, looking refreshed and in high spirits after several hours of rest. He looked at Guo Lingyu diagonally opposite him; the pregnant woman was wearing a loose, comfortable lake-blue dress, her complexion was rosy, and her posture was languid.

"Lingyu," Jing Gao picked up the warm porcelain spoon and drank the soup from the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It was soft, tender, and rich in savory flavor. Then he said gently:
“Lingyu, I have a villa in Sheshan. It’s a quiet place and close to the ‘Shuyun Club’. I’ll have Qingshuang arrange for you to move there and rest and prepare for your pregnancy.”

His good friend Tan Qin also lives there, in the Sheshan Scenic Area, a national 4A-level scenic spot. That villa covers about 2.5 acres, roughly the same size as this place.

Upon hearing this, Guo Lingyu nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with playfulness and sweetness: "Okay."

At this moment, Guo Siyue, sitting to the right of Jing Gao, was wearing an elegant black midi dress with a well-tailored fit. She had a noble and quiet temperament, and her skin was as white and clean as fresh snow. She was a beautiful mature woman who was as outstanding as an orchid.

She gracefully used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of white, jade-like shrimp and placed it on the bone plate in front of Jing Gao, then smiled and exposed her, saying, "Little Jing, Lily is just joking with you. She has already decided to go back to Hong Kong Island to recuperate."

Guo Lingyu pouted coquettishly, her eyes sparkling, and said with a smile, "Alice, Xiao Jing has huge assets. It's just a villa. Don't try to save money for him! Besides, the villa in Stanley isn't even finished yet, is it?"

Xiao Jing bought a plot of land each for her and Alice in Stanley, Hong Kong Island, and is currently having Xiamen Real Estate develop the properties. The internationally renowned I.M. Pei & Partners is the designer. It's all because Xiao Jing bought villas for Anjie in both Nanjing and Shenzhen, so he's treating them equally.

Jing Gao smiled, genuinely unconcerned about the villa. He would gladly give Ling Yu a mere villa. Following Guo Siyue's words, he said, "Hong Kong is familiar to her; it would be good for her to go back and recuperate. Has the itinerary been arranged?"

He knew that the Guo family had settled in Hong Kong Island many years ago, with deep roots and medical resources and social connections that were far beyond what movie stars could match.

This is different from celebrities like Fei Fei (Liu Yifei) who go to Hong Kong Island to prepare for childbirth.

The social status of the wealthy and celebrities is ultimately not the same.

Guo Lingyu nodded: "Yes, everything's arranged. I'll take Milian and the others back by high-speed rail." She changed the subject, looking at Jing Gao with a mischievous smile:

"Xiao Jing, you really don't want the three beauties from Southeast Asia that I prepared for you? And that beautiful young woman from a wealthy family in Guangdong Province, she truly admires you and wants to stay by your side as a concubine." She deliberately dragged out the last syllable of "concubine".

"Giggle..." These words immediately made An Xiaoqian sitting opposite and Guo Siyue sitting next to her burst into laughter.

An Xiaoqian wore a pearl-white cheongsam, her eyes sparkling behind her sophisticated gold-rimmed glasses. She exuded elegance and sophistication, adjusting her glasses as she smiled brightly.

Jing Gao smiled and shook his head, then lowered his head to take a sip of the Wensi Tofu Soup in his bowl. The soup was smooth and delicate. "Forget it," he said, his tone tinged with a lazy and satisfied weariness. "I don't have the time or energy for that."

Although I had rested well, the tranquility that followed the afternoon's extreme indulgence still lingered deep within me. Wan Feifei's awakening, Ke Lingling's delicate figure, Zhou Nanman's Jiangnan charm brought by the former beauty of Jinling, and the three sets of striking photos of Shen You and Cheng Fangyi... none of these could stir up any more waves at this moment.

He truly understood that when the tide of lust recedes, what remains is a sage's clarity. No matter how many women one has, they are all ultimately meaningless. Even though he still knew he hadn't taken the little princess Gu Jinxuan as his concubine, he knew his time and energy should be devoted to a more worthwhile life.

Guo Siyue looked at Jing Gao's calm reaction. A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the 43-year-old beauty. She gently shook her head and took small bites of the dishes in front of her.

She hadn't eaten much dinner so far, just spending time with her beloved man. Of course, she had already had a snack before dinner, so she needed to be even more careful with her food intake now.

An Xiaoqian then smiled and took over the conversation, advising Guo Lingyu, "Lily, don't pay attention to what Xiaojing says. Just arrange for them to live in Shanghai. It's a big place here, they can always find a place to settle down. There will always be opportunities later, just let them get to know Xiaojing gradually." Her tone carried the composure of someone who had been through it all and a deep understanding of Jing Gao's thoughts.

Upon hearing this, Jing Gao looked at the elegant and intellectual An Xiaoqian with a hint of helplessness: "Xiaoqian..." Xiaoqian understood him. The problem was... he didn't want to right now.

Guo Lingyu chuckled sweetly at Jing Gao's helpless yet indulgent expression. She, of course, could also see her lover's current state. As the highest-ranking "Imperial Concubines" in the room, the three of them were naturally well aware of what had happened in the third-floor guest room that afternoon.

Then, thinking of Zhou Nanman, Song Yingxia, and Song Zhiqi from Nanjing, Xiao Jing's hobby is truly... well, let's just leave it at that.

Guo Siyue ate her food elegantly in small bites, a gentle smile on her face, and said, "Xiao Jing, I'm too lazy to care if Xiao Qian and Lili offer you beauties in the future. You'd better take it easy."

She paused, her tone carrying a subtle, complex emotion, "I have a gift for you."

The competition among the women around Xiao Jing was too fierce, and she couldn't stop it, otherwise An Xiaoqian and Guo Lingyu would suffer. Fortunately, all three beauties had Xiao Jing's children, securing their future. Perhaps it was time... to step down.

Jing Gao asked curiously, "What gift?"

Guo Siyue put down her chopsticks, looked at Jing Gao, and said in a soft but clear voice, "Xiao Jing, I've basically bought up all the remaining townhouses and detached villas in 'Yuexiu Garden.' Now, the entire community is practically in our hands. You can use these properties to settle your beauties."

The Yuexiu Garden residential complex is located in Pudong, about a half-hour drive from Tomson Golf. It was an old villa complex that she had her eye on when she and Xiao Jing were having a secret rendezvous, and at the time she only bought two rows of townhouses. Now, she has bought almost the entire complex.

Upon hearing this, Jing Gao frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubt: "Siyue?" He looked at her with some confusion, "Yuexiu Villa has a very special meaning for us, let's keep it. That's where we... started. When the children grow up, they can live there, as a keepsake."

He particularly emphasized "the place where it all began," a place that holds their deepest, most soul-stirring exchanges. Furthermore, Siyue's conglomerates all bear the name "Yuexiu."

An Xiaoqian chuckled softly, her beautiful jade earrings swaying gently with her movements. She picked up a piece of lion's head meatball with her chopsticks and fed it to Jing Gao, looking at Guo Siyue with a mischievous smile: "Well, Alice? I told you Xiao Jing wouldn't accept it, but you wouldn't believe me?"

After feeding Jing Gao, she smiled and said to him, "Little Jing, Alice is just being pretentious."

Jing Gao was even more confused. While eating the lion's head meatball, his gaze shifted between An Xiaoqian and Guo Siyue, finally settling on Guo Siyue's face: "Siyue, what's going on?" He needed to figure out the real thoughts behind her unusual behavior.

Guo Siyue looked at Jing Gao's concerned eyes, smiled gently, and subconsciously tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, a gesture that revealed a slight unease in her heart. "Xiao Jing, keep it."

She avoided Jing Gao's probing gaze, saying, "Don't bring so many beauties to my house next time. I don't like it too noisy."

Jing Gao immediately waved his hand, his tone reassuring and promising: "Siyue, this is easy. I'll have Xiaoqian find me a special neighborhood, and I guarantee that future gatherings won't be held here at Villa No. 11." He pressed again, his gaze fixed on Guo Siyue: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Pfft..." An Xiaoqian finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, as if she had seen through her best friend's thoughts.

Guo Siyue glared at An Xiaoqian, her best friend and "sister" who was always undermining her. She hesitated for a moment, as if she had made a great decision, and finally raised her eyes to look directly at Jing Gao. Her voice trembled slightly and sounded lonely: "Xiao Jing... I'm going to quit."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts, "After leaving Shanghai this time, I don't plan to come back to you."

Upon hearing this, Jing Gao's expression froze instantly.

Guo Siyue continued, her tone carrying a calm self-analysis: "I'm getting old, I'm forty-three. New beauties emerge in every generation, and I can't compete with those eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girls in their early twenties."

"I want to keep my most beautiful moments in your heart..." Her words were filled with helplessness at the passage of time and a clear awareness that her beauty was about to fade.

However, before she could finish speaking, Jing Gao forcefully interrupted her!

Jing Gao stood up abruptly with a "whoosh," his movements carrying an undeniable force. He took two steps to Guo Siyue's side, placed his hands on her rounded shoulders, and then, without hesitation, leaned down and forcefully kissed her soft, pink lips!

The kiss was domineering and passionate, instantly silencing all unspoken farewells, leaving only the warm breath lingering between their lips and a silent plea to stay. Guo Siyue was stunned by his sudden action, her body instantly stiffening. But soon, feeling his unwavering determination and the strength of his plea, the loneliness and melancholy in her heart seemed to melt and intensify as if struck by a scorching hot iron.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, her hands instinctively wrapping around Jing Gao's neck as she responded gently.

An Xiaoqian and Guo Lingyu exchanged a glance, then lowered their heads in tacit agreement, smiles playing on their lips. They pretended to be focused on the dishes in front of them, acting as if they hadn't seen the passionate kiss between the two, giving them some private space.

After a long pause, their lips parted.

Guo Siyue still had her arms wrapped around Jing Gao's neck, her breath slightly ragged, and she said softly with emotion, "Xiao Jing...you...don't want me to leave?" Her eyes were shimmering with tears, filled with the surprise and uncertainty of being persuaded to stay.

Looking at her captivating appearance, Jing Gao couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He understood the principle that after the most vibrant bloom comes early autumn, and that everything declines after reaching its peak. He just never expected that this drama of "a beauty fading with age" would fall upon him, at only thirty years old and seemingly at the peak of his life.

Today, he has just won a great victory, and the dust has settled. All his female confidantes in Shenghai have come to celebrate. In an instant, the villa is filled with beautiful flowers, a riot of colors, as if one were in the spring breeze.

In the afternoon, he experienced the ultimate pleasures of life and declared that he had "no regrets in life." However, at dinner time, Guo Siyue, the beautiful woman who had been with him for many years and held a very important place in his heart, asked to leave.

This filled him with a desolate sense of loss at the end of his life.

He held Guo Siyue, the beautiful mature woman, even tighter in his arms, letting her sit on his lap. He kissed her face affectionately, the unique fragrance lingering around his nose, and caressed her round, soft buttocks beneath her black dress, the touch exquisite.

“Siyue, that’s for sure.” His voice was deep and firm, carrying an undeniable power. “I won’t allow you to leave, understand?” He looked directly into her eyes and began to lay bare his heart:
"The most affectionate are actually the most heartless. Siyue, I seem to have many female confidantes, but my heart can't actually hold that many people."

A person's time and energy are limited. If you keep spreading them out, how much will ultimately be left for new members?

His tone carried a clear weariness and self-reflection, "Siyue, I may have lost the ability to love. Only women like you, who have been sincere to me since the beginning and have stood by me through thick and thin, truly hold a place in my heart. Therefore, I will not agree to your leaving. Never."

Listening to his heartfelt confession, Guo Siyue sighed softly, her heart filled with mixed emotions. She turned around, took the initiative to kiss her lover's lips, her eyes brimming with tender affection, and whispered:
"Little Well... how much kindness can withstand the passage of time? How many more years can I maintain my current beauty? You can take this opportunity to rejuvenate and embrace new beauty. There will be beautiful women who turn eighteen every year."

Her words carried a sense of compromise with reality and an attempt to "comfort" him, yet also revealed a deep reluctance to part.

Upon hearing this, Jing Gao couldn't help but raise his hand and lightly pat her full, pert buttocks, feigning anger as he said, "Siyue! Do you really think I'm such a heartless and ungrateful person? We still have two unborn children!"

Guo Siyue looked at her feigned anger and burst out laughing. Her smile was like a flower blooming in a secluded valley, bright and beautiful.

She stood up, turned around, cupped Jing Gao's face in her hands, and kissed him deeply again. This time, she kissed him with even more passion and abandon, as if she wanted to pour all her love and reluctance into the kiss, not wanting to give him a single breath. She truly loved the man before her to death!
His unwavering devotion to her as her beauty faded filled her with warmth and happiness. In the turbulent currents of society, to find such a sincere lover made her truly joyful.

However, the thought deep in his heart that he should "step down and make way for a more capable person" was not completely dispelled.

At her age, among the many young beauties surrounding Xiao Jing, she should indeed be more discreet... However, since Xiao Jing has insisted on keeping her, and they now have a child, she will spend more time with him in the future.

Jing Gao gently responded to her kiss, feeling her soft body pressed tightly against him. His hands cupped her soft, round buttocks beneath her exquisite black dress, and the amazing elasticity and tenderness intoxicated him. He even felt that his sage state was about to be broken by this intense affection.

Guo Siyue looked at Jing Gao closely with her bright eyes, which were filled with love and affection. She smiled beautifully and didn't care that An Xiaoqian and Guo Lingyu were sitting at the table.

Overwhelmed with tenderness, she boldly and decisively removed the bra from under her black midi skirt, revealing her firm, white breasts at the neckline. She cupped Jing Gao's face in her hands, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly and firmly, "Little Jing, I'm going to devour you."

"Hey, Alice!" An Xiaoqian was elegantly sipping her sweet wine, swirling the glass as she teased with a smile, "Don't be so lewd! You're being too blatant. Lily and I are still sitting here!" Her gaze swept over Guo Siyue's open neckline, which was both pert and white, and her smile deepened.

Guo Siyue snorted, looking at An Xiaoqian with a hint of smugness and provocation: "I'm very happy that Xiao Jing wants me to stay, what's it to you? Let's see how excited you are when Xiao Jing asks you to stay!"

An Xiaoqian leaned back in her chair with a smile, her expression relaxed and composed. She adjusted her glasses and said, "Look at what you're saying. I'm not as dramatic as you, Alice. I won't leave Xiaojing unless he kicks me out. Where else in this life can I find another man who treats me so well and is so important to me?"

Her gaze shifted to Jing Gao, filled with trust and reliance.

Jing Gao was also moved. He reached out and took An Xiaoqian's soft hand, which was resting on the table. The two smiled at each other, everything understood without words. He then lowered his head and gently pecked the cheek of the serene and elegant beauty, Guo Siyue, in his arms.

"Siyue," Jing Gao's voice was filled with emotion, "In this turbulent world, it is already incredibly difficult to gain a foothold! I, Jing Gao, may seem to be able to win over all the beauties in the world, but that's not actually the case. I don't have any outstanding qualities. I'm of average appearance and I'm already thirty years old."

He paused for a moment, then shared a small incident that had deeply touched him: "A few days ago, I walked a campus beauty from Jiaotong University back to her dormitory. She didn't want me to walk her to the dormitory door, afraid of being seen by others."

“If I stood next to a 19-year-old college sophomore who was a campus beauty, people’s first reaction would probably be that I was keeping her as a mistress.” He looked at Guo Siyue and An Xiaoqian. “A person really can’t have youth and the feeling of youth at the same time.”

His tone became low and sincere: "Siyue, I did not possess their lives, I only possessed a part of their lives."

So, they don't deserve my whole heart. But you do, you know? Xiaoqian, Lili, you both deserve it too. You are a part of my life, a part of my soul." He hugged Guo Siyue tightly, his gaze sweeping over An Xiaoqian and Guo Lingyu, his words resonating.

Guo Siyue felt her heart and soul melting from this heartfelt confession. She showered Jing Gao's face, lips, and neck with passionate, pecking kisses, repeatedly whispering, "Little Jing... Little Jing..."

Jing Gao let this stunningly beautiful mature woman express her love passionately, whispering gently but firmly in her ear: "Siyue, promise me. You're not allowed to leave me, and you're not allowed to think about this again. I need you, I always will."

Guo Siyue's heart was already filled with his words and affection; how could she possibly refuse? Whatever Xiao Jing said, went. She nodded vigorously, her voice incredibly firm: "Xiao Jing, I promise you!"

"Alice, you're just spouting nonsense!" An Xiaoqian interjected with a laugh, breaking the overly sentimental atmosphere. She looked at Jing Gao with encouraging and admiring eyes.
"Xiao Jing, don't underestimate yourself! Since ancient times, power has always been more important than fame. Women are naturally drawn to strength. You possess unparalleled charm! Those young girls can't resist your radiance!"

She leaned down and shared a loving and encouraging kiss with Jing Gao. Then she kissed Guo Siyue. A charming and beautiful woman of her age, she naturally knew how to make her beloved man's heart as firm as iron.

Watching this warm and loving scene, Guo Lingyu felt incredibly at ease; this was exactly the best ending she had hoped for. She didn't want her man to be cold and heartless. She stood up, walked to the side behind Jing Gao's chair, gently leaned down, and exchanged several lingering kisses with him, saying tenderly:

"Xiao Jing, I won't join in your craziness. I'll tell Qing Shuang and the others to come back to the restaurant to clean up in an hour. You guys... enjoy yourselves." Her tone was a mix of blessing and teasing.

“Okay,” Jing Gao replied, watching Guo Lingyu leave with tender eyes.

The restaurant door closed gently. Guo Siyue, this quiet and elegant beauty, and An Xiaoqian, this charming and intellectual beauty, exchanged a glance and tacitly knelt down in front of Jing Gao at the same time, dividing the work.

Guo Siyue raised her beautiful face, her eyes so alluring they seemed to drip with moisture. Taking advantage of the moment, she parted her red lips slightly and said in a sweet, fragrant voice, "Your Majesty, please... favor his Noble Consort."

Faced with his two beloved women, both so tender and stunningly beautiful, Jing Gao felt his throat go dry, unable to speak; his heart was filled only with burning love. What else could he say?

All I can say is that he's lucky to be only thirty, right in the prime of his male stamina! All I can say is that after that incredible experience that afternoon, he felt once again—his life had been worthwhile!

Time slipped away quietly amidst their sweet romance. Some time passed, and then, Jing Gao's phone, which was on the dining table, suddenly rang urgently, shattering the tranquil atmosphere of the restaurant. The name "Qing Shuang" flashed on the screen.
