He gives her a short (but tender) kiss, as if to tell her "kick me as hard as you can, I dont care, I still love you from the bottom of my heart".

True, I almost thought he intentionally rubbed noses as he "kissed" her! Lawrence, you sly bastard..
I feel it was precisely his lack of obvious passion that made the "kiss" so epic. She kicks him in the chest and tries to change the topic forcefully to save face. So what does he do? He counterattacks her as if to say "this is just a small sample of what you are missing by being stubborn". You can see in her eyes just how effective that counterattack really was. I wonder if he had done that earlier, rather than kissing her on the hand first, if she would have melted completely.

Of course, and he knows that
But any battle he can win against her is a HUGE upset, and she knows it. He totally destroyed her this time, and definitely won her love and adoration (and her abuse, because he clearly has a masochistic side).
In fact, the only moment where I was really disappointed in the episode was:
"You defied my foolishness with everything you had. That's why.. I.. [audience is screaming 'tell him you love him!'] I'll go along with your foolishness."
