Han Zheng actually was quite eager for Meng Chuyue to change back to the Han surname, but he always remembered his own words "allowing marriage once the ID card shows twenty years old." He was worried that she might take the opportunity to change back her real age as well, and once she turned twenty in half a year, she would be married off to that stinky kid Shen Ci, so he deliberately showed an attitude of indifference about the surname change.
"As long as you remember to continuously offer incense to our ancestors and not forget your roots, it's okay not to change your surname."
Because both families' elders took this stance, and changing a name was indeed bothersome, the two kept dragging it out.
Shen Ci knew that if he casually talked about this matter with Meng Chuyue, she would continue to procrastinate, so he quietly prepared everything needed for changing her surname and identity.
Like the proof of her actual age, academic records...
