Good you asked for emotions cos boy does she have many.
The war itself was a mixed back of shit, and despite beating America in it, she was also seeking his help at the same time. Her independence from France was also inspired by America's revolution anyway (see: her own declaration of independence being super similar to America's). So admiration turned into some kind of triumphant regret: she's pleased it all succeeded in the end (and she whooped his butt), but she's also sad that in a way, he left her. BUT since she did beat him and things are turning out awwwriiight at home now, she's moved on from these war feelings much faster than he did (poll says one of the Asian countries with a high approval rating of America is Vietnam, and this is recently omg). She wants to be good friends with him, and fix all this awkwardness because they will have to eventually since they're colleagues. It's just that she's slightly scary (slightly?!), socially awkward, and doesn't want to encourage his lofty behaviour so it's really freaking hard.
That and she does kind of like this power she has over him to make him do her bidding by just asking super nicely /quotation marks. It's not going to change for a while...
