The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

Black lightning flashed past my nose, and the scorching heat made my heart skip a beat. I scrambled to my feet, still trembling with fear. Lu Yuxuan shielded me behind him, looking around warily. Thick, dark clouds had enveloped the sky without anyone noticing, and the oppressive feeling surged over me like a tide, making it hard to breathe.

"Who is it? What's the point of hiding your head and showing your tail?!" Lu Yuxuan's voice echoed in the empty sky and earth, but received no response.

Chenxi struggled to stand up, his face pale, but his eyes were resolute: "It's the person behind K, he hasn't given up yet."

"What on earth does he want to do?!" I asked through gritted teeth, my heart filled with anger and anxiety.

"No matter who he is! If he dares to hurt Luo Luo, I will never let him go!" A fierce look flashed in Lawrence Lu's eyes, and a cold murderous aura emanated from his body.

At this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and a figure wearing a black robe and a hood slowly walked out. His face was hidden in the shadows, and his features could not be seen clearly, but the powerful pressure emanating from him was chilling.

"Who are you?!" Lu Yuxuan stepped forward, stood in front of me, and asked in a deep voice.

The black-robed man sneered, his voice hoarse and low: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that the game is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right hand, and a black energy ball instantly condensed in his palm, emitting a heart-pounding and terrifying aura.

"Be careful!" Chenxi exclaimed and wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

The black energy ball roared towards the three of us with devastating force...

I squeezed my eyes shut, the whistling wind and Lu Yuxuan's roar filling my ears. However, the expected excruciating pain didn't come, only a warm energy enveloped me. I opened my eyes and saw Chenxi standing in front of us. She formed seals with her hands, creating a golden barrier that blocked the black energy ball.

"Chenxi!" I exclaimed in surprise. Her body hasn't fully recovered yet, how could she withstand such a powerful impact!

"Let's go! I can't hold on for much longer!" Chenxi gritted his teeth and persisted, and the golden barrier was covered with cracks.

Lu Yuxuan acted decisively, grabbing Chenxi and me and running. We ran as fast as we could, the explosions behind us deafening. Finally, we escaped that troubled area and arrived at a secluded valley.

"Chenxi, how are you?" I asked worriedly. Her face was frighteningly pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

"I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while." Chenxi smiled weakly, but his eyes were remarkably firm. "Lolo, you have to believe that good prevails over evil. We will eventually overcome all difficulties."

I held her hand, my heart filled with gratitude and admiration. Despite all the hardships she'd endured, Chenxi remained kind and brave, which only strengthened my faith.

In the days that followed, Chenxi overcame her pain with incredible perseverance. She returned to the catwalk, captivating everyone with her talent and hard work. Her designs were filled with vitality and hope, as if proclaiming the tenacity and beauty of life. Chenxi became a rising star in the fashion world, her work garnering global attention and adoration. After this turmoil, the mysterious family emerged stronger and more united, their reputation restored. Watching all this, my heart is filled with joy and emotion, and I believe the future will be even brighter.

The fashion world is like a giant stage, where everyone plays their own role. We used to fight for fame and fortune, engaging in deceit and intrigue. But after that incident, I've seen more sincerity and kindness. Designers who once clashed with me now view me with admiration and appreciation. We're no longer competitors, but comrades fighting side by side.

"Lolo, your designs are amazing! I absolutely love them!" My good friend, the famous designer Amy, hugged me excitedly. "You know what? Ever since your last show, I've been so inspired by your designs that my brand's sales have doubled!"

"Me too! Luoluo, you're truly my lucky star!" another designer, Jack, also said with a smile, "I used to think you were a lucky person, but now I know you actually possess courage and wisdom!"

Seeing my friends' sincere smiles filled my heart. This crisis has not only made us see the good and evil in human nature, but also made us cherish our friendships even more.

However, while I was happy, I also felt a slight sense of separation. The person who had been silently protecting me, the person who had shown me the way in the darkness, had chosen to leave.

"Lolo, by the time you read this, I'll be gone." The letter was written in familiar handwriting, carrying a hint of reluctance and blessing. "I'm sorry I can't say goodbye to you in person. From the moment I chose to become an undercover agent, I knew I couldn't live an ordinary life. Now, my mission is complete, and it's time for me to find my own home. Please rest assured, I will continue to protect you where you can't see. I wish you and Mr. Lu happiness forever!"

Tears blurred my eyes. I clutched the letter tightly, my heart filled with gratitude and reluctance. He was like a guardian angel, silently guarding me and protecting me from the wind and rain, yet I didn't even know his real name.

"What's wrong? Lolo?" Lawrence Lu noticed that something was wrong with me and asked with concern.

I shook my head, put the letter away, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.

"Nothing, I just remembered something."

"It's good that you're okay. You still have me." Lu Yuxuan gently pulled me into his arms, his embrace as warm and reassuring as ever. Yes, I still have him, and my family and friends who love me. What else is there to regret? As the sun set, its golden afterglow bathed the entire city. Lu Yuxuan and I walked hand in hand along the banks of the Seine. The shimmering water reflected our figures, leaning against each other, like a beautiful painting.

“Lolo, do you remember the first time we came to Paris?” Lawrence Lu stopped and looked at me affectionately.

"Of course I remember. At that time we were just competitors and disliked each other." I said with a smile, recalling everything that happened back then, as if it was just yesterday.

"Yes, at that time I thought you were just a vain woman, but I didn't expect that you had a heart that shines brighter than diamonds." Lawrence Lu gently stroked my cheek, "You made me understand what true love is and what is a treasure worth protecting for a lifetime."

I looked at him with emotion, tears welling up in my eyes. "Yuxuan, meeting you is the greatest luck in my life."

"Silly boy, I should be thanking you. Thank you for appearing in my life and adding such brilliant colors to it."

We hugged each other tightly, letting time stand still at this moment. Suddenly, a rapid ringing of the phone broke the silence. Lawrence Lu took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" I noticed that something was wrong with him and had a bad feeling in my heart.

Lawrence Lu didn’t answer, but hurriedly answered the phone and said in a low voice: “I know, I’ll be there right away.”

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. "Lolo, something happened at the company. I have to go back right away."

"Is it serious?" I asked worriedly.

“It’s not clear yet, but I have to rush back to deal with it immediately.” A trace of uneasiness flashed in Lawrence Lu’s eyes, “Don’t worry, I will be back as soon as possible.”

"Okay, I'll wait for you." I suppressed the uneasiness in my heart and watched Lawrence Lu leave.

As night fell and the city lights came on, my heart grew heavier. An inexplicable sense of dread washed over me, and I felt like something was about to happen...
