inscrutable

Coffee with a daughter of China.
Luyi sips a tea.
"What do you think of the Gay Pride parade?" she enquires innocently.
I favour her with a suspicious look.
She is inscrutable.
I know full well what she's really enquiring.
I thump the table.
"You little Chinese minx," I cry. "That does it. No ridies for you. Or as you say in China: Lidies."
