Leng Youchen was taken aback, staring at her as she yelled so fiercely that he was stunned repeatedly. For a long time, it had always been him bullying her, and no matter how temperamental she got, she would eventually be tamed by him, obedient and compliant.

And that phrase "I like you" simply made his heart burst with joy.
