good-humoredly

In jovial fashion

Good-humoredly means in a cheerful, easygoing manner—without irritation or resentment.

Someone who responds good-humoredly to teasing takes it in stride: She good-humoredly accepted the ribbing about her cooking.

The word suggests pleasant tolerance rather than forced politeness.
