Did you notice I shortened the response and added the phrase, "你呢?" (Nǐ ne?)
很好。你呢？(Hěn hǎo. Nǐ ne?)
很好。你呢？(Hěn hǎo. Nǐ ne?)
[I'm] good. And you?
很好。is the shortened form of 我很好。我 is omitted, as it's understood from context.
After this is 你呢? (Nǐ ne?) "And you?" 你呢？
First is, 你 (Nǐ), "you." 你 (Nǐ).
Next is 呢 (ne), which means something like "how about...?" in this context. 呢. 呢.
Together, 你呢? (Nǐ ne?) Literally, "You how about?" but translates as, "And you?" 你呢？
