suggestively
In hinting fashion
Suggestively describes doing something in a way that hints at or implies something without stating it directly.
Most often, the suggestion is sexual: She leaned suggestively against the doorframe.
But it can indicate any kind of implication: He glanced suggestively at the empty chair, inviting me to sit.
