Why so formal?

A few days ago, I sent a sort of 'Thank You + Good Bye + Till we meet again' kind of mail to one of the Onsite Leads that I've worked during my time in China. I really liked working with this person and wanted to convey my gratitude to him before I complete my China assignment and move back to India.

Surprisingly all I got was something on the lines of 'Thanks for those kind words. Send me some pictures of your engagement when you are back in the office'. That felt oddly formal and cold from this person who has been really nice to me in the past. Now, I wasn't fishing for compliments, but a 'Good Luck with everything else you do'  would have do really meant more.

I'm not sure why this person has turned surprisingly cold to me in a matter a few weeks. This is not the only instance, but there've been tiny details and instances with him in the past few weeks which made my antenna go up.

I really am not sure what I did wrong.
