mischievously
In playful trouble
Mischievously describes doing something with playful troublemaking intent—teasing, pranking, or bending rules for amusement rather than malice: She grinned mischievously before hiding his keys.
The word suggests lighthearted naughtiness, the behavior of someone who enjoys causing minor chaos or getting a reaction.
