"does" adds emphasis, often when there is a contradiction.
- I don't think she really likes me
- She likes you
- I don't think she really likes me
- She does like you
The second one is stronger. The contradiction here would be that the first person doesn't think "she likes" them but really "she does" like them
- I was going to order some Chinese food for dinner but then I remembered you don't like Chinese food.
- You should have ordered it. I do like Chinese food!
Here the contradiction is the second person thinks the first person doesn't like Chinese food when they really do. "I like Chinese food" works too, the "do" just adds emphasis as I said before.
